We have a kid in school, and therefore, the time that we have available is the same time that many others do. We went camping with a bunch of neighbors, it was wet, it was cold, it was muddy, the group site was much smaller than advertised, there were lots of loud people, barking dogs, etc.. But we had fun. If I had gone thinking that it was going to be peaceful and quiet and that there would not be loud kids and dogs and music, I might have been annoyed. At some point, the kid will be in college, then we will be able to go when we want to go, as opposed to when the kid is off and we wont be competing with everyone else.
