Camping was never simple for me. We camped for 10 - 12 weeks at same campground growing up. Dad would commute on his days off. He even found a way to have running hot water whenever we had a fire. I hate the packing up also but have solved that with the utility trailer now out side of setting up camp and taking it down all we do is take out the perishables and laundry when we get home. Don't need to haul the rest of the gear to the cellar (which we don't have anymore). But camping to me is supposed to be very comfortable and I love tinkering and coming up with things like the sink and trailer set up. Well got to go and feed the girls and myself. coffee is gone.
