My parents didn't camp, but would occasionally rent a cottage at a lake. I always enjoyed that feeling of being at the lake, swimming, and the food always tasted better while we were at a cottage. In junior high some friends talked a dad into taking a bunch of us camping in a tent at Lake Michigan for a week. From then on I enjoyed tent camping with friends and eventually with my first wife.
About the time I was 40 my soon-to-be second wife and I enjoyed camping in my tent, but she preferred at least an inflatable mattress. We did that for a couple years and then moved to a 20' travel trailer. Nine years later we moved up to a '01 Cardinal 5th wheel. And a couple of months ago we traded the Cardinal for a '15 Cedar Creek Silverback 5th wheel. Love the camping/snowbirding lifestyle and hope to keep doing it for another 15-20 years.
