What did you do when teenagers no longer want to camp?
13 & 16 year old. I know it is coming. I can see the signs. Therapy needed & quick.

Go Dogs--First of all--Don't let them bury their faces in the phone and computer. I believe the parent pays the bills and, therefore, controls the devices.
I was in Bryce this summer. A large 5th wheel pulled up with apparent grandparents and 1 surly boy, wearing his cap pseudo-gangster style, about 14. He didn't want to go sightseeing and wanted to stay at the 5th. They planned to be gone 5+ hours. The grandfather said OK.
I would have said OK, gotten him out of the 5th for a second and locked the door. He could spend the next 5 hours hanging around outside the 5th or the visitor center.
Zero chance of him being inside playing on the phone, sleeping, watching TV.
