I love all the sounds that you get to hear or in nature.
I love the chance to admire God’s miracles
Best thing about camping is getting away and being in nature. Love being disconnected from the world for a few days, with no cell service, etc.
This brings back memories. I miss the days when I spent as much time as possible in the woods or the mountains. I always hated coming out of the wilds at the end of summer to go back to school.
As an adult, my most memorable trip was a pack trip with llamas. It was nice to have them carry the gear. We camped both above and below the tree line. On top of the mountains we could see forever. Unfortunately, we saw a forest fire that was eating up Glacier Nation Park. Fire does have it’s place in the wilderness. It is interesting to watch the different eco systems the land goes through as the plants grow back.
When my boys were growing up we went on lots of camping trips. Each could bring a favorite toy. I brought a doll for myself. Make believe adventures were an important part of the fun. The campfire. The stars. Now my son camps in the backyard with his little boys. I “camp” in the VBS classroom with my dolls. This too is part of the story.
Many, many moons ago I loved the serenity of the woods, and sitting around the campfire at night.
My favorite thing about camping is camp fire and nature hiking
My favorite part about camping is the family gathering at the fire eating and talking. The whole family meets up once each year to camp so it’s fun to catch up.
I’d stay forever. Each day I’d find something new in the forest. It would feel like an endless vacation. The clothes and equipment for camping….I don’t need a lot. But the clothes would all be comfortable. The. Backpacks, tools, freedom would be great for my doll. Sleeping in a tent would be grand. I also could take my water toys into the lake and stay all day. I love to fish!!!
Dog Beach in Jupiter Florida
i liked the boating outfit
If I did camp, my favorite part would be packing up and going home. :)
Smores
I love to eat s’mores, so I would have to say eating s’mores and spending time with my family is my favorite part of camping!
I like the drive there and back and the closeness to nature.
My favorite part of camping is cooking and eating the campfire food. I love sitting around the fire until bedtime also.
Camping is relaxing, fresh air, campfires, wading along the beach, picking berries, hiking the trails.
Love all the cute camping gear! Use to camp when kids were small.Loved it!
My favorite part about camping is being one on one with Mother Nature! I love exploring and experiencing all she has to offer! But also making smores, cannot forget the smores!
We love hiking and sitting by the fire with our daughters! We find that it makes them more open with us (they’re teenagers). There’s nothing better than walking side by side or snuggling with them while they talk about their lives.
Love the tiny camper patterns. Wished I would have had something like this when I was little.
While I do love the family time, my favorite part of camping is s’mores! Teaching my kids to make them and eating them together always brings lots of joy and laughter.
Love this post! It’s perfect for creating the ideal camping scene! Plus that mini Canon is ultra cute!
Just being with the family during our camping trip.
My favorite part of camping is being in nature, with no technology or distractions.
I have been camping for over 50 years. My kids along with the grandkids go camping now. They love camping. It can be about peace and quite, going to new places or meeting new people. Just love camping.
My favorite part of camping is looking at the stars at night.
Sorry, not a camper
We love camping! Love the outdoors and nature.
We love camping! Love the outdoors and nature.
My favorite memory of camping was using a quarter machine to get duck feed and feeding the ducks when I was 5. Every time I think about camping I remember the ducks.
I love sitting around the fire with family and friends.
My favourite part of camping is roasting marshmallows and making s’mores.
My favorite part of camping is the cooking out and sharing stories around the campfire. We had a blast when I was a kid. Friends of our parents would take the 4 of us, along with their 4 children and camp at a local state park for a weekend every year. We learned a lot about camping and swimming and keeping nature the way it should naturally be. I miss those days. Thank you for the great patterns and ideas and the opportunity to win things.
My favorite part of camping is waking up in morning and listening to the sounds of the wild, seeing sunrise.
I love cooking breakfast over a campfire and relishing having clean hands after washing the dishes!
My favorite part of camping is reading books and having campfires.
My favorite part about camping is the 24/7 family time with no calendar commitments. Basically being away from the busy that is hard to get away from. I love just being together to talk, play music around the fire, or card games that are sure to follow dinner.
Honestly, I don’t/have never camped, just really prefer to being @ home/not traveling. Have many friends/relatives who do & think their fav part is all the sites they see! ;’)
My favorite part of camping is enjoying the nature around me.
New people, new places, new experiences and wonderful memories are what I like most about camping. We have moved from tent,backpack and canoe with babies to senior camping in a slide in camper. Truly missing this season’s travel time.staycations for all this year.
My favorite part of camping is just sitting and listening to nature.
What wonderful memories! Our family never missed a summer camping in the eastern Sierras (California) in the late summer from when we were first married to just a few years ago. We hiked every trail and fished every lake and stream. There is nothing like fresh trout dipped in flour, egg and cornmeal fried in bacon fat and served with fried potato slices! In addition, our 3 boys learned many problem-solving lessons along the way
My favorite part of camping is meeting new people. And just listening to the birds, babbling creek and being in nature.
I haven’t camped in years, but I love being outside, walking trails, and observing all the wildlife.
When we lived in Anchorage, AK we went camping every chance we could get out of the city and go fishing. Now that we live in a rural area of WI we just have to step out the door to be in God’s beautiful nature. COVID 19 quarantine and social distancing has not been a hardship on us. It’s just like camping with perks. Miss the kid’s and grandkids though.
Favorite part about camping is the campfires and spontaneous singing.
I enjoy fishing and camping. Love the dolls and accessories. You have great patterns and very reasonable prices. When we were kids we used to go to Lake Texoma for two weeks to A month. Love the quiet time and the fish😃
My favorite part of camping is my kids’ favorite part: starting a fire and making smores! Also, to keep some sanity, we stay in a campground with sites near the actual bathroom and shower house. I really like running water and indoor plumbing!
My family isn’t very outdoorsy. We only went camping a handful of times, and yet the trips were extremely memorable because we spent so much time together, so close together. So my favorite part is the sense of family togetherness. We still joke about funny things that happened on those trips. Even when things went unpleasantly wrong, we ended up laughing about it and remembering it fondly.
Love the smell of the forest. Being with family. S’mores around the campfire.
Best part of camping is just having a chance to relax! Cooking food on the campfire is lots of fun.
My favorite part of camping is the chance to do absolutely nothing (or as close to it as a person can get). :) Thanks for running this giveaway!
I enjoy getting away to enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of God’s great creation – to be still and know he is God.
I actually don’t like camping. I’ve gone twice in my life. I do love spending the day outdoors, though, in nature.
We just got back from camping. I love sitting by the fire and talking.
My favorite part of camping is being out in nature, clean fresh air, beautiful trees, wildlife……there’s nothing better!
I liked being with friends sitting at the swimming area talking.
I have too many favorites. I love being with my family enjoying all of the beauty in the creation. I made a tent, sleeping bag and lawn chairs for my granddaughter’s dolls. I enjoy playing with her. The best time is being together with the ones you love.
Love the look but do not love the work. I do love night sky filled with stars and smores!
Camping is a time of solitude with family, friends and your fav pet buddy! Listening to absolutely nothing but nature. Hiking and biking thru the woods and open fields as the sun shines down upon you. Enjoying the fresh air as you take in the day! Smelling the campfire as the day winds down. Supper prepared, cooked, eaten and everything cleaned up. Relaxing under the stars before turning in. That’s what life is about!
How much my kids love camping and being in nature is what I love most about camping. The fact that I can but something new for camping every year and still come out paying less than hotel stays would cost is my next favorite.
The sights and sounds of nature: birds, frogs, bugs, fish, deer, elk, beavers, rabbits, the wind moving the trees and leaves, the river splashing over rocks and the crackling campfire.
my favorite part of camping is the quiet!!!!!!!!!
I love just being outside! The little tent is so cute.
These are awesome, my girl takes her dolls camping and I love having gear for all the dolls as we enjoy the outdoors.
The best part of camping was the serenity, the communing with nature. Hearing my 2 kids being kids, their laughter and their learning …. Oh, and bug spray!
Gotta love camping – sleeping with a blanket of stars and the song of nature all around.
I love going camping… not coming home… being in the midst of all of nature.. iits sounds and smells.
Peace
Honestly my favorite part of camping is the planning! I love getting everything together, buying new stuff, and researching things!
I love the idea of camping with the doll Right now camping sounds great although probably not a good idea until this virus goes away.
camping in the back yard would work
The state park we go to doesn’t have any phone reception. I love the peace and quiet that comes with no phone calls, text messages, etc. Just the beautiful sounds of nature — wind in the trees, water in the creek, birds singing…
Campfires with friends and walking in the woods.
My favorite part of camping is enjoying the great outdoors with family!
My favorite part of camping is being with our family, the aroma of the campfire and roasting marshmallows to make s’mores.
Under the stars or under the clouds… a deep breath and a time out from the day to day plug in of the work world!
The aroma of a campfire takes me back to childhood memories. I can close my eyes and once again feel my family around me.
From my armchair I am magically transported to hike the trails the the Pacific Northwest with Kit, Molly, and Maryellen — my favorite camping activity with my favorite friends.
Being outdoors
Being outdoors
My favorite camping experience is the smell – woods, fire, food, citronella, coffee. Everything else can go wrong on a camping trip, but if my nose is happy, I’ve been camping!
Last year I made my granddaughter a tent for AG. She is always taken her camp. She would love to have the accessories to go with the tent. Especially the kayak.
Being outdoors
My favorite part of camping is seeing the different animals and staying as far as I can away from the creepy crawlies curious about my camping resources.
Going home is my favorite part of camping!
My daughter loves to take her dolls camping. She recently got a 4 × 4 and a tent to go with the sleeping bags I made for them. Great to see her playing with her dolls outside!
My favorite part of camping is getting away from our busy lives and slowing down.
This is perfect for the families that camp. Now your doll will go in style with herf family! Great idea!!!
IF I were to go camping, the only thing I would like would just being out in some woods with a small stream nearby..But I could do that with a day drive so camping would not be necessary, thankfully..
We go camping with big group of friends and spend our together time going on trails, playing games, singing by the fire, catching up and making smores with kids.
The warmth of the fire is my favorite part of camping.
I really enjoy getting my kids away from the t.v. but more than anything I’ve found that sleeping outdoors gives me the best sleep!
My husband and granddaughter love the great outdoors ,fishing and smores are her favorites.
S’mores!
I love being out in nature and experiencing it with my family!
I like the camping gear and the clothes. That would be fun to make.
My favorite thing about camping is being out in nature away from the everyday grind.

I like most everything about camping. I especially remember with fondness sitting around the campfire with my family, singing campfire songs and hymns until the fire burned out and it was time to go to bed.
