People either love camping or hate it - that much is true but if we were asked

"What is the one thing that makes it special?"

 What would we say?

For me - Freedom

Absolutely!  None of the pressures of yor normal life, just being able to slum it w/o worrying about how I look, back to nature and kids having the freedom to be able to be kids!

The friendliness of a campsite.  When we've hired cottages etc, we have been quite isolated whereas on a campsite we get to chat with the people around.

When i am in the house - there is so much that needs to be done - with the tent I dont have much housework so i can sit & relax!!!

So here looking to my next camping experience soon - start chilling the lagers!

Spending time with loved ones away from the TV, the phone, the computer, homework, work, study, the trappings of home I suppose.  Also travelling and  learning new things from a variety of interesting places. 

I especially like to go camping because it does not give me that claustrophobic and restless bored feeling that I feel in a hotel or guest house and people are generally happy, chatty and friendly.

Being able to boot the kids out and know that they're (reasonably) safe and happy getting filthy and climbing trees, so I can sit back with a book and a cuppa outside the tent. You can't do that for a day in a hi-rise hotel!
