You have my sympathies. I've been roped in to taking my son camping this weekend to Preston, with some of his mates. The weather forecast is very worrying. All the other group leaders have had to drop out at the last minute.

There lies your problem. Why the fuck would you go camping in a fucking City? Take him somewhere you may both enjoy it instead fo fucking Preston!!!
 
What sort of camping are we talking about, arrive at a campsite, take the tent out of the boot of the car and depending on the tent, 5 - 25 minutes later you have your portable house ready to live in, while pitching the tent, have the pump plugged into the car cigarette lighter and your bed is ready to place in your sleeping room, get the seats out and relax while your burgers fry on the two ring gas burner and take a cool can of cider out of the cool bag, if the weather gets a bit chilly then turn on the stove of better still the camping heater, soon warms the tent up.
If you have a tent bigger than the amount of people, then place the portaloo in the spare room, if not then place it under a tarp outside the tent, no shitting in a field.
Or, if you prefer just getting a couple of tarps, 4 bungee cords, a kerri mat, a sleeping bag and go exploring the wonderful wild scenery this country has to offer, again great experiences.
Far better than towing a rigid portable garden shed behind you, or stopping in a house where some chav has "taken" his chavette the night before, or wasting good beer tokens in some yuppy establishment where asking for a pint gets you derided especially when you see the price.
Nah, a field, a tent, good company, and a cool bag full of cider (and some scoff), and i can really relax.
 
None of the answers have convinced me. All this relax and unwind, be close to nature stuff. I live in the middle of nowhere. Our house is surrounded by fields and rolling hills. I reckon anything that can be put forward as a reason to camp would be better in a cottage in the countryside. Frankly, I will consider living like a fucking gypo if I have my house repossessed and not before and I certainly won't pretend it's a holiday.<br /><br />-- Thu Jul 05, 2012 7:15 pm --<br /><br />

It's just something different isn't it.

You should go, you might be surprised and end up having a good time.

I find that sometimes when you're really against doing something, and then go ahead and do it, then it's not as bad as you anticipated.

Personally, I like to go camping for a weekend, but 2 or 3 nights is enough. If the weather is shit, then camping is shit, getting mud everywhere, everything being wet and it being cold in the tent, lumpy floor etc.

However, if the weather is good, then having a BBQ and getting leathered under the stars is good fun.

Something different? Is that the best we can do? Nailing my scrotum to a table would also be something different, I'm not going to do that either.

What about if the campsite is full of "chavs and chavettes" which seems much more likely to me and what does it matter who has stayed in the cottage before you as long as it has been cleaned properly before the change over? I'm not sure why it isn't nicer to stay in a lovely remote cottage, you can have the same good company, be close to nature by going outside and you can still drink cider just in the garden, next to the field rather than in the field. In fact if it makes a big difference you could step into the field and drink the cider. And when it inevitably starts pissing it down you can go in the house rather than sleep in the rain like a fucking tramp. The only convincing argument you have is that it is cheaper to camp. Do yuppies still even exist?
 
Depends where you go. I'm sure Snowdonia national park is not in your back garden, or Wastwater etc...

Camping is all about the location, the scenery, the long walks, campfires, sitting under the stars, cooking outside, drinking beers and being a decent man for your family, and not a moaning girl.

Yip, they are just called bankers of financial advisors now.

Though i have to admit I do really enjoy finishing work on a friday at lunchtime about once a month, picking up the tent, table, chairs, stove, sleeping bags etc and heading away somewhere different for the weekend, sometimes to a fairly "commercial site" with electric hook-ups etc, others to more basic sites where it is a five or ten minute walk to get the water we need for the friday evening and saturday morn.
As well as that there always seems to be a great atmosphere on site, with people looking out for their neighbour stuff.
