Every 6 weeks we travel to VA Beach for a Thursday-Friday-Saturday, home on Sunday camping trip. This gives us time with family living there, and a mini-vacation. This year we are planning to camp over Christmas/New Years for the first time.

safe travels,

Last year we were out about 50 nights.

This year we haven't got to go as much as would like, probably about 10 nights so far. We do have 3 more long weekends planned between now and mid Oct. This year will end up with around 20 or so nights out.

Last year we were out about 60 nights. It will probably end up being more this year since we are heading to Canada in Sept and will be gone about 2-1/2 weeks. We do most of our camping in the fall and winter and squeeze in extra days around the holidays (Columbus/Veterans/New Year's/MLK/Presidents). Can you tell we both work for government's?

2007 was a slow year for us, only 18 nights spent in our TT.

2008 has been better, to this point we are at 22 nights, and are expecting to finish the year at around 30 nights with a few more weekend trips.

40-50 nights a year. About half of those with wife and kids. Other half with the guys or solo. Most of those in the TT and maybe 5-10 nights in a tent.

on track for 38 days this year, wife and I both work full time and have 2 school age kids. We do mostly weekends and take 2 seperate week long trips during the summer, we even do a couple of 1 night stands at the nearby local campgrounds. Our season lasts about 6 months from end of april until end of october. We would love to do more but with our schedules 40 days has been about the best we can squeeze in

100 nites so far... but we're retired. Would have spent more time, but the price of fuel has slowed us down a bit.
Working towards about half camping, half home.
