We used to go camping, we had a 27' travel trailer, and would go to state park campgrounds. But as the girls got older, they got less interested in it. My neighbor warned me, he had the same thing happen, and I was like nooo that won't be us. Yeah, that was us. The girls just wanted to hang out inside and watch TV. I loved cooking over the fire like that, but we could never find friends that would commit to joining us.
I loved going camping during halloween, because the kids could trick or treat between sites, it was fun, and the campground we went to would have a big halloween dance for the kids. I would take that spit and cook a big chunk of meat. People would come by and be like wow, thats a lot of meat. and I'd say yeah dude, you are invited, bring a side dish and be down here at 6 when we eat. I told that to so many people. Just bring a side, I've got a ton of meat, join us! no one would ever do it.
