Camping is so different to *normal* holidays, I think it brings challanges thus you get an adrenalin kick, without realising!
Struggling to get & keep your tent up sometimes in adverse weather, always needing to do something, be it get water, treck to the pot wash, walk to the loos etc..rolling up your flaps, zipping your fly screen up & down, keeping food & drink cool, keeping yourself warm...
I think it brings out the *Famous 5* in us, as everything is always an adventure! The fun starts way before you get on site, the hours spent on the Site search, checking out reviews..
The list making, the bargain hunting, the getting your kit together, the near impossible feat of getting it in the car, it can be exhausting! and that's the draw for me, I spend my days sat down, camping gets you mobile & active...makes the wine at the end of the day all the more welcome
