Upcoming season!
Just got the call from my favorite campground that our application for seasonal camping was drawn (It's a lottery due to popularity). I was a little dismayed this year that the rates were increasin...

Seasonal camping in a great campground with wonderful neighbors is awesome for me given that I can camp 100+ nights while holding down a full-time job that requires my presence. Make sure you understand the rules about decks and sheds and outside stuff.
This is in a provincial park, and our third season in a row (We've been really lucky) so we know the rules quite well. We're allowed a screen tent for eating (since the bugs can be pretty brutal at certain times) and one additional tent for sleeping or storage. I think there's a rule about decks or patios, but we just use a plastic pallet at the entry and a large mat. Seems to work for us.

We're happy our seasonal fee is holding steady at $1,900. No decks or sheds for us. We're at a county park that doesn't allow anything more permanent than a small woodpile, and our camper has to be moved by October. Okay by us as we blend in with everyone else.
Like you we have full time jobs and the DH has limited vacation time. Neither of us has a burning desire to see the country...yet. So seasonal camping is a perfect fit for our lifestyle.
Have fun making some awesome family memories!
That's just it. I'm only 35, my wife is 33 and the kids are still young. The best part of this CG is it is literally a 20 minute drive back to the city we live in. I can commute to work, they can relax at the campground, and everyone has a great time.
The fact that it's only a 20 minute drive does make it a busier than usual place, especially when the weather is cooperating, but generally people are good. I also keep in mind that I was a teenager once too, and a certain amount of goofing around is fine.
The only downside is the yard back in the city gets a little neglected all summer.
