Who camps/ RV's regularly?

[Danny Abear]

If you prefer lakeview camping, and who doesn't, you should give Paul B Johnson State Park a visit. Just south of Hattiesburg and an easy drive up I-59. The campsites wrap around the lake and this is the view

I have been wanting to go there, I guess another road trip is needed, thanks

We go camping 6-8 times a year, ready to get back out there ASAP!!! I really like the paddle-in primitive sites at Lake Fausse Point State Park. You get a small island to yourself and the only people you see are in boats passing by. The fishing is decent in all the borrow canals and around the cypress trees in the lake!

That sounds like fun in the winter. I don't see my wife going for that though!

I camp frequently in my 29' Wildwood TT. We have a membership at Hideaway Ponds, and once the cool weather hits, that camper rolls just about every other weekend.

Just got back from a 9 day trip, 4 at Paul B. Johnson outside of Hattiesburg and 5 days at Lake Guntersville, Al. It was not as cool as we hoped, but rain free until the morning I packed up.....of course.

Never feed the geese, you will have friends for life.

And one of our regular morning visits at Lake Guntersville.

We just bought a new camper and are ready to use it.

Scratch my earlier post, here is the new camping setup #2:

 

[Cajun Camper]

We try to go every other weekend year round & a couple of 1 week trips also. We went to Elberta, Al. (just east of Foley Al.) for Labor Day week. I'll post some pics of the Motorhome later.

Just got back from a weekend at Sicily island.

I am so ready to get back out camping. Anyone have an idea of how early is too early to take a kid camping?

 

[LACamper]

Scott, I'd say 6 months (IANADoctor though). You'd be through the bulk of the immunizations by then.

Itching to go camping again. Weather is getting nice.

Got 5 days reserved at Lake Lincoln outside of Brookhaven 12/19. It looks like it is just outside of the post apocolypse 12/21 flood zone.

You are telling the truth there. We are going in on Wednesday for our first child to be born, and I'm ready to get back camping. We just bought a 2004 A-liner (the model is like the modern Classic) I'm so ready to break that thing in.

I have always enjoyed Lake Lincoln. We have spent a lot of time there camping with family since it is essentially halfway for all parties.

A-liner's are great! Congrats on the new arrival. You're going to be too busy for the next few months to go camping anyway but it'll give you something to look forward to!

Scott, post some pics of lake lincoln for me please. Brookhaven would be a good area for me to camp.

Will do, and I'll see if my dad has any pictures for you also. He always takes a bunch of them compared to myself.

I camp often. I try to make it every month, but it usually ends up being every 6 weeks or so. I usually bring my boy, who's 5. I am not much for group camping too often. It's a time for me to get away from society and decompress. That said, I still do group camping every now and again as it's great fun... I just prefer the "me" time more often than not, when camping. I camp pretty lighweight. 3-4 days out of a backpack that's comfortable to hike all day in, and I'm happy. I want to get a camping hammock like a Warbonnet Blackbird, but I camp so much with my son, I am having trouble dumping the money on a solo-shelter.

I'm pretty opposed to RV camping :P I don't like the idea. It's opposite of what I do when I go camping. I also hate having to camp next to 30 other loud people with obnoxious kids.

I do a 'group camping' type thing every summer. The side of a mountain in June in Missouri. Weather ranges from 50F and lightning/thunder storms, to 95-100F and dry as ****. Spend 5 days up there with 40-50 people. Educational seminars, canoe trip, and normal camping stuff... lot of fun. It's a semi-private deal in that it's for members of a group only, though it's a giant group - it'd be kinda like if Bayoushooter had a camping event, to compare.

My last trip was to Chicot State Park and though there was some miscommunication and lack of intelligence from the employees that handled my entrance who made me camp in the RV/Camping area and nowhere else (assholes) my son and I did end up hiking out to some real nice areas down a couple of the long trails. I only had my GoPro with me so apologies for the fisheye. My son managed to dunk my digital camera a while back and I've yet to replace it.
Trying to teach him about mushrooms and nuts:

My parents had me camping in a tent with them when I was in diapers. They'd bundle me up tight between them when it got really cold.

I took my son camping for the first time when he was 4 years old I think. We did a quick overnighter as a 'test' at one of the little designated camping spots on the road that the shooting range is on, near Sherburne's Range near Krotz Springs. If you keep going down that gravel road, you'll see some camping areas up there... anyways, I took him there just to test how he would do in a camping setup, set up one day, spent the day hiking and wandering, ate some Clif bars on the walk, and came back to eat some Mountain House meals over my camping stove. I just wanted to make sure he was ok eating the food and wouldn't be a whiny brat the whole time, mainly.

From that day forward, if I tell my son "it's camping food" he'll eat just about anything because camping is the coolest thing in the world. He's a great naturalist. He soaks up knowledge well so long as I reinforce it.
