I attribute it to gas prices. Yes you'd have to drive to get to a campsite but once there you won't be spending as much as you'd pay for a hotel etc. Same with air travel, those prices are going up so it seems more and more are opting out of trips abroad and camp inside their own country or even state instead More people actually seem to choose camping according to some statistics I’ve seen so far as opposed to ’07.

So it was at night, and we all had to pee, so we all go together as a group. So we're out in the woods peeing, and i see a shadow and hear some crunching of leaves, and i immediately think BEAR! so i scream "BEAR!!!" and everyone starts screaming and running back to their tents with their pants around our ankles and dive into our tents. Anyways, it wasn't a bear (duh) and once we realized we weren't going to get eaten that night we all felt stupid and started laughed hysterically! i love that story!

We thought it was hilarious that the tent kept feeling like it was going to blow away. We finally feel asleep. We we woke up we realized that we were about 10 feet away from where we had originally set up our tent!<br/><br/>egreca [at] hotmail [dot] com Once we went camping and it was very windy out.

We were all sitting around the camp fire just before dark when I felt a snake going up one of my pant legs. I screamed to them to help me while I squeezed the head of the snake with both hands. The group was laughing hysterically. I almost cried I was so frightened. Someone mentioned that I should drop my pants. So while I squeezed the snake in my pant leg, I unzipped and dropped my trousers; I could then let go of the snake (which wasn't moving any more) when I got my trousers off, which I did. I backed away from my pants, but no snake? My husband picked up my trousers and began to shake them and out fell a little brown lizard. The kind kids like to play with. He was laying flat on his back on the ground. He looked dead, but when my husband bent over to touch him, he ran off like crazy. It felt like a snake when it was crawling up inside my trousers. Well, it could have been a snake. The group laughed so hard. I was so embarrassed. And mad that no one had offered to help save me. They tell this story to this day...Maggie and the snake story.<br/><br/>I haven't been camping since.

While sound asleep, around 3 am, my boyfriend and I awoke to strange noises, getting louder and louder as if coming straight for our tent. We then heard whatever it was coming towards us, pass us, and continue into the lake a few yards behind us. Scared, we whispered to each other to "get the flashlight", "be quiet", "what is going on?" Finally after gathering pepper spray and a flashlight, my boyfriend was inching closer and closer towards the tent window when we heard the nay of a horse! A horse?! He finally looked out, and saw a huge black object that was WAY too close! It scared him so badly, he ended up on my lap! We finally realized that we'd been stampeeded by wild buroughs!!! The next morning, leaving the campsite, you could see a heard of approximatly 20 of them grazing in the distance! It was scarry, but also VERY funny! <br/>rachelfox1981 at yahoo dot com My funniest camping story occured at Lake Plesant, AZ campgrounds.

I used to live in Minnesota and directly behind me (about a three acre field seperated us..) my neighboors were a large family of two parents, and five little girls. I'm not really sure what was going on but I would sit outside on my deck every morning and evening and just spend a little while winding down for the day and routinely the entire family would pile outside in the back yard and take a pee... or poop... I guess modesty is never an issue?<br/><br/>I blogged you on prizeatron too<br/>http://www.prizeatron.com Ok this isnt exactly a camping story.. but It always made me feel as if I was camping.

We didn't know any of the woods in our backyard or what we would find etc... We end up stumbling on some one else's property (we didn't even know they existed!) and as I was walking past this rusty barbwired fence I heard somethiing stomping the ground.. I'm thinking it was my Ex just playing a trick on me because we had somehow got split up on the walk through the woods. Come to find out there was 1 Bull in this fence and he started to charge the very rusty/old looking fence... I had never ran soo fast in my life I was soo scared.. my Ex didn't believe me at the time so he went to go "check" it out, he was the next person to run screaming like a girl towards the camp! It's funny cause we were scared of a bull and that's something that you wouldn't think to find out camping..
