We never had a trailer when I was growing up... needless expense, my parents would say. And truth be told, we couldn't afford it.
kent4str and I went tent camping for years but we always had to be conscious of the weather and it seemed we were spending half our already-scarce weekend time either setting up tearing down the site.
It's such a joy to leave items stored on-site, to not have to worry overmuch about the weather and to have guaranteed, comfortable, bug-free spaces in which to sleep.
jearbear65oh & hubby tend to go there for partying while I go for quiet & isolation so we occasionally have minor disagreements, but we're all fairly agreeable short-term roomies and the co-ownership arrangement has worked pretty well for three years now.

Come camping with us some time!
