The smell of the canvas when the tent is up. The smell of bacon cooking, bbq smells drifting across the camp site. The sunsets with a glass of wine, kids running around and having fun and the sound of rain on the tent when trying to get to sleep at night. Sitting outside the tent first thing watching the wildlife with a cup of coffee. I have just gone to heaven

Sitting outside the tent first thing in the morning, with a cuppa, and nobody looking at you as if you've totally lost it.
Not caring what I look like (not that I do anyway).
Not being tied to time - a big plus!
Kids playing happily with other kids on site - often with the older ones keeping an eye on the younger ones.
The list goes on and on.

And people think I'm crazy for going camping.

Living outdoors.

The freedon to choose a site which is all singing and dancing or has nothing on it - depending on what type of holiday you choose.
The ability to go for a weekend, a few days mid week a full week or longer - unlike booking accomodation - even selfcatering when the times you are allowed to book for are far stricter.
Being at a site 30 minutes away from home, yet feeling as if you are a million miles away.

Its a lot bloody cheaper than Butlins or the Med !!!!!!! (or is it ?)

THUMPER.
