This year we couldn't take long camping trips in the summer due to my work, but we managed to get out 15 days total this year with one more weekend at the Oregon Coast planned. Usually we average over 30.

My daughter said to me once, "the trailer almost seems like home". And then I realized that we spend about 1 out of every 10 days there. No wonder.

By the end of the year, if all goes as planned, 41 nights.

This is our second year. Last year we were in the mid-30's. We have not used it in a month and we all miss it already and can't wait till Thanksgiving weekend.

26 here. This is pretty typical for us. (We're limited by the amount of vacation I have, and other weekend activities the kids are involved in.)

I echo the feelings of many, not enough! The reason as many have said too many kids activities. We have camped 27 nights so far this year and hope for one more weekend trip in the next few weeks.
We take a two week vacation in the summer and try to get in as many weekend outings as we can between soccer and softball.

We camped about 37 nights this season. We wish it could of been more. If the season was longer it would have been. It is time to start saving money for the next camping season and planning where we are going to go.

We have logged 29 nights so far this year. We took the kids camping in 8 states from March to September. The rig is now winterized. However, weather permitting, we may manage a few more nights in December.

We had 44 great nights of camping this year. This past weekend I winterized the rig until next spring. We did many rustic campgrounds with no hookups and about 9 nights dispersed camping this year.Helped keep the cost down. The rest were with electric, and some with full hook up.
