I couldn't tell you how many times I've camped before. We started when I was a kid, I have so many good memories of it. That was tent camping. My grandparents took us in their travel trailer a couple times and in the past 9 years we've tent-camped mostly at Fort Wilderness and National Parks.
My most memorable trip was the time my parents took us tent-camping in Europe. In two weeks we saw Normandy, France, ferried to the UK and camped inside the city of London (still trying to find info about that campground, it might have been on the outskirts maybe near the Crystal Palace), Holland, and then outside of Paris (the facilities of the 'comfort station' were concrete squares on the ground with a hole in the center and handles on the wall for you to hold yourself over the hole - you wonder why I think FW has the best bathrooms ever?). I've told my parents that my hat is off to them for that trip. There were 9 of us (3 adult family members had come along for the trip), 3 tents, equipment and food all in a van for 2 weeks. I don't remember anything but fun and having eyefuls of history.
