I ...I just love Camper Pies....By this time it was dark and we sat around the campfire and cooked our own little pies. Wow were they hot when they came out of the irons!...
My favorite camping food? The breakfast buffet at the hotel...
My Dad refused to camp. He said he slept in a tent enough times when he was in the Army. My first time camping was with a guy buddy of mine when my girlfriend backed out of camping three days before we were supposed to leave! Since I was borrowing his tent and his girlfriend's brother's sleeping bags I asked if he wanted to go in her place. He said "sure" - he was in college and would be between his summer job and heading back to school. Worst. Vacation. Ever. He slept until noon, and we spent a lot of time driving backroads in the dark. Swore I would never go on vacation with a guy again, unless he was my hubby. So what do I do? I marry someone JUST like my buddy...sleeps until noon, drives at night. Can't win for losing!...my parents took my brother and I all over the southwest on tent camping trips...
That's my answer these days too.
In the old days, we did a lot of "camper" camping while water skiing. Those were some of the best days of my life with my young family. We often camped at Shaver Lake, and the campground was owned by Edison power company. Because of that, there was an electric outlet at every covered camp table. Most mornings I'd set my crock pot on the table and we'd come "home" from skiing at the end of the day to find chipmunks standing on their back legs smelling the crock pot. It sure was nice to have dinner all ready after a long day of water skiing!
Kay...we were water skiiers back in the day, too...what wonderful memories! And a great way to work up a huge appetite. I'd probably break my neck if I tried it again these days.
Have fun with your new pop-up camper, RP! Gosh, I really do miss camping whether it's in a tent or camper. We've even just used sleeping bags and built a rough lean-to for shelter back in the day. Good memories.

I snow skied during the front half of my 20s - which accounts for my crap knees nowadays. A friend of mine decided to teach me to water ski. We were at her family's lot at a small resort in OH, her brother put their boat into the water...and I could not get my butt out of the water no matter how fast or slow he went. I told Mo that snow skiing was easier since I was already upright!...I was a horrid water skier, even as a teen...
