My favorite thing about camping is stargazing at night.
My favourite thing about camping with dolls is that they can bring along so much more camping stuff on the trip than we can, becausetheirs takes up so little room and doesn’t weigh as much! So we can enjoy the cool stuff vicariously.

Sitting by the campfire.
The campfire in the evening, the crisp mornings when no one is up, hiking the river. It is all great.
My favorite part of camping is getting to explore new places with my family. My daughter and I like to take a couple of our dolls with us and get pictures of our girls in some of the places we visit. Last summer we went to PEI and took pictures of her Maplelea girl Jenna, wearing her Anne of Green Gables outfit, and my American Girl Felicity, wearing her original meet dress, at Green Gables cottage and along the hiking trails at the Green Gables park. My daughter absolutely loved it.
My best time camping was when I’d pack the old stationwagon with all my supplies and the show dogs and hit the dog shows for the weekend! Had all my “comforts” from home-bed(mattress) coffeepot & food plus all the things for the dogs! I showed Lhasa Apsos and they don’t take up much room lol
I haven’t been camping since my kids were little, but last summer I was at a state park and at the first whiff of campfire smoke I was instantly nostalgic! We used to roast hot dogs, make s’mores and enjoy the great Michigan lakes and dunes.

My favorite thing about camping is sitting around the campfire. Of course that includes ghost stories, and s’mores! Also do bananas that have a section removed down the length of the banana deep enough to accommodate chocolate chips and the small marshmallows on the top of each chip. Lay the one section of the peel you’ve pulled back but didn’t remove. Do this in the curve of the banana, the wrap it twice in aluminum foil and toss in the fire for about 30 minutes! Once completely hot and chocolate/ marshmallows have melted. Eat out of the peel!!! Delish!!
Just being in the lovely setting that nature provides.
Being outdoors with nature, hopefully this summer will be able to get the tent up and have some fun camping,
Bike riding and Sitting with friends and talking.
Sitting in nature and listening to my surroundings… and camp food
