I bought an air mattress for $40 that is queen sized, raised, and self inflating. As in, it has an inflation device that has a power cord that is built in to the side of the mattress. It's like sleeping on a cloud, even more comfortable than my regular bed at home. A lot of places you can camp have electricity and you could sleep on this magic cloud there. Honest lifehack: buy things from Walmart's online store: you can get the same things that Amazon sells, at heavy discounts. People don't do it because they're all like "eww Walmart" and they are stupid.

Y'all do know it's still called camping if there is electricity and running water? Sleeping outside, away from most civilization, is camping. Goons get snotty about the weirdest poo poo.

If there's electricity and water it's a short lease in a trailer park, not camping.

If you're paying the rates that places with electrical hookup and water spigots at every site charge, and carrying around a heavy rear end, cheapo air mattress with a built in pump, "camp kitchen", and other poo poo, I'm not going to be a total snob and say you can't call it camping. However, if you're doing it for the "experience", you're a fool and should just spend all that money on a cheap hotel. Car camping is different than backcountry camping, and that's fine. But there's a smart way to do car camping, and a "lol I'm from the suburbs and bought all this cool poo poo at Wal-Mart" way to do car camping. If you want to have inflatable pads to sleep on (which is perfectly fine, I use them when car camping), then get something like this: https://www.rei.com/product/870757/rei-camp-bed-35-self-inflating-sleeping-pad They self-inflate, with no electricity needed, pack down decently enough and are easy to move around, and you don't annoy your fellow campers with your loud-rear end air pump. Yes they are pricey, but they last way longer than air mattresses you get for $40. VVV We seem to have circled back on ourselves, but it illustrates why it's a stupid hack. It's only moderately cheaper but 100% more of a pain in the rear end. And waste of money in the long run. LogisticEarth has a new favorite as of 14:51 on Jun 4, 2016 |

"Replace a purpose built product with a cheap product that's not designed for the task at hand but sorta kinda does it in a passingly lovely way if you squint at it right." is literally every lifehack.

I've always liked the hardcore back-country camping, complete with canoeing into your site, portaging, bear hanging your food barrel, etc. but my husband is a bit of a princess and doesn't really like camping. So we compromise by going car camping. We usually will go a couple of times a summer to our fave provincial park, which has nice semi-private sites. The sites themselves don't have electricity, but there is a picnic area down by the beach that does so we usually just head over there to blow up our big air mattress and charge our phones for a while, etc. It's not very hardcore, but our main objective for these trips is to spend time together getting as high and drunk as possible outside, playing improvised beer pong, having campfires, eating fire-roasted weenies, going out for a rip in a canoe, smoking a joint by the lake at sunset (occasionally hiding from park rangers), and other minor adventures. Even though I really enjoy the full wilderness experience, car camping has it's place too. gently caress the haters! E: \/\/\/ I agree it was pretty funny.

Lol camping elitists are the worst. I've done a fair amount of ultralight packing, a lot of it above the treeline sleeping in bivvies because there's too much wind for tents. Hell I WORKED for REI for a while. I've done large segments of the PCT and a decent amount of through hiking, I grew up in a wilderness area where the camping rules are literally "you have to be 100ft away from water or a trail but other than that knock yourself out bro" and I still camp in places that have power sometimes. A ton of state campgrounds have power and showers these days, even ones that are pretty drat rural. It's totally acceptable to camp with an air mattress, I do it all the time. I own a light weight ensolite camping pad for when I have to actually carry stuff an appreciable distance, but if you're bringing your car and you have room a queen sized air mattress takes up about as much room and two rolled pads anyways so you might as well let you and your SO sleep in style. If you insist on using backpacking grade equipment for car camping that doesn't make you more authentic, it makes you an idiot and whatever the camping equivalent of the guy who buys a expensive super duty pickup truck so he can drive it around town and pick his kids up from school while he wears his cowboy hat and jeans and plays pretend.

People should just camp whatever way they want. It's fun to be outside. Some people are a little REI, some people are a little Cabela's. Real hardcore campers just sleep under a tarp rigged between trees anyway.

To get this thread back on track, have a car camping #dadhack. Before you get too drunk camping, spend half an hour or whatever driving around the campground. When you see a good campsite, one that is really private, or really big or whatever, get out the park map that they gave you on the way in and circle the site number/write down the number of the good site. This way next year when booking your camping trip, you'll know where the good sites are. Walla. genetic_knockout has a new favorite as of 20:07 on Jun 4, 2016 |
