All things back-country camping! Gear discussions, destination talks and everything else within that realm

A little underwhelming, but still fun. We set up in a public park with a pickleball court right beside our tents. So at 6:45am the old folks started showing up and gossiping over the sound of paddles and bouncing whiffle balls.

But helping make breakfast the next morning was fun and my son was mainly in it to hang out with his pals.

Really glad I didn’t open this on the train.

I've got a hooker in the room. I didn't want her to see this.

I was wondering why is this tagged nsfw??? Either way Im glad you and your kid had fun. Camping is really relaxing, almost meditative but its oh so much fun with friends! I genuinely hope it becomes an enjoyable hobby for you guys 💖

I have no clue how that got tagged! I must have bumped the setting when I was posting or something.

It was totally safe for work, and kids! But not that safe for sleep.

Also we camp all the time, and have a vintage VW. His first camping trip was before he could walk. So this was kinda weird for him too (the setting at least).

Underwhelming? That sounds fun. One of my fondest memories is "camping" on the front lawn with my dad as a kid.

Yeah this looks lit AF and chill. Lotsa green, kids get to play and still nice bonding experience for everyone, absolute win. Also that tent in the foreground looks lowkey pretty tall, I like those more space-y ones.

Yeah for sure, he had fun, but he’s more used to the dispersed camping and collecting sticks and rocks and stuff
