Same here! We camped over bank hols wknd and were in bed by 10.30 which i think the cold, darkness and fresh air had a lot to do with!!

Cant beat snuggling into your bag all cosy though!

Yes ......personally I put it down to all the fresh air, we do a lot of walking and being out in the fresh air all the time definitely makes you chill out more and so ready for bed much earlier.

If we're camping alone (with the children) we tend to let them drop off then go to bed ourselves as we've usually been busy during the day, around  9-10 ish.  But at a site recently we sat up just to watch the stars it was just lovely  

If we're away with friends then we'll stay up much later...unless it's a CC site then of course you all have to be in bed and silent by 11 or you get your wrists slapped

We usually end up all going to bed at the same time - ages 3 to 35.  Somewhere between 9 and 10pm generally.  But then the rest of them sleep in until 9.30am and I am usually awake at 8ish. 

At home we rarely make it to bed before midnight.

we usually don't make it much past 9pm when camping.  On our last trip, our latest was 11pm (on our last night cos we wanted to make the most of it cos it was our last camp for the year). At home, we generally go to bed around 10pm ish and then watch tv for an hour or so.  But when we are camping we just can't keep our eyes open and end up heading off to bed early. 

I agree - it is all that fresh air

Think we maybe should all sleep in sleeping bags at home and all have some early nights!!

Same here, soon as its dusk,just want to get into tent, heater on and if grandchildren are with us we play board games for a while.

Then into warm sleeping bags, lovely.

Last camp next week, then all gear put away till next year
