Since we started camping last year was the first time that for at least one break I did not go solo with the kids - and that was due the the fact that both my brother and father were seriously ill ,and sadly both passed away.  Up until the point my brother was admitted to hospital and I had to care for my elderly father Ihad planned to go solo with the kdis.
I just go to familty friendly sites.    I do keep a sharp knife handy - but this is more for and emergeny tent ripper rather than the thought of being attacked,

If your feel comfortable going solo then why stop, simply because of what other people think.   If I listened to what some people had said about camping I would never step foot inside a tent again, never mind go solo with the kids and have a great time.

Yes, enjoy solo camping people at work keep asking me in a horrified voice

whatever possessed you to go off camping on your own,and I have no idea

except wanted to spend time with just my dog and she makes me feel safe

as she is a good guard dog but a quick acknowledgement of your neighbours

is always a good thing, mine certainly looked out for me when discovered was

my first time. Have not been to many but have always felt safe and the sound of

the warden checking as the site stilled for the night was very comforting.

When I go solo camping my only fear is the lone females in the other tents...I have to put a padlock on my tent door at night

Is that to stop them coming in to stop your really loud snoring Bob!?

Don't be silly - it's to protect the lone females. Haven't you heard about Bob's sleepwalking habit?
