We love to camp. Last weekend I talked Mike into going to a KOA Kampground. I thought it would be nice for a change. It would be a little easier and there would be things to do. They had a nice river/creek running through the property that was nice to wade and swim in. Other than that, the experience was not so pleasant. The campsites were on top of each other. On 3 of our 4 sides, we had a fighting couple, some loud drunk people that listened to Johnny Cash on repeat all night {I like Johnny Cash, so that could have been worse}, and a Girl Scout Troop. It was like the freshman dorm room all over again! Mike came to the conclusion that most people that don't like to camp have probably only been to a campground. Never again!
Henry loves his little camping chair. He will just sit there and watch everything around him. We had just come back from the creek and Henry was watching his Daddy cook on the fire.
He still took pretty good naps, despite Johnny Cash in his ear.

KOA camping is like living in an apartment complex. Of course, with a baby, it's hard to go backpacking any distance, so I guess you take what you can get.
Suggestion: talk your ward into going camping as a group, and get the large group campgrounds in the National Park or Forests. That way you've got plenty of space in which to choose your tent site, the people you're with are more respectful of each other, and you don't have to worry about drunks or the arguing, although Johnny Cash is probably replaced with Inside Out tunes or the EFY CD singers.
