How many nights did you spend camping this season?(2016)
Continuing tradition from Jhowemca's thread last year (same title, but 2015).
We brought our new camper home almost a year ago (11-13-2015), so this year was our first full season with it. I have kept track of our trips over the summer and the results are in.
We enjoyed 12 camping trips between 5/20/16 and 10/2/16 totaling 30 nights with 1810.4 miles traveled.
The above does not include the 6 stays at Camp Driveway for additional 12 nights.
So a grand total of 42 nights for us this season [emoji4]
How about you?

Any night in the camper should count.

Lets see: 5 Memorial Day, 3 Taste of Country Mistake, 5 Independence day, 4 FOTA.
So my official count is "Too Few!"
Can I add in the fact that the fridge was always stocked and I had at least 20 meals in the TT while at Camp Driveway?

103 so far. Still on the road as long as severe weather stays away. Somewhere over 7,500 miles towing. Don't keep a close count on towing versus sightseeing miles. Have put 11,400 +/- miles on truck since April while camping/sightseeing.

20 Days for us, but we didn't buy the Jayco until late summer. I hope to triple that number next year.
I didn't buy the TT to 'break even' with travel costs although I know it's possible for some of you guys... I would like to get close though. Right now, the math has me spending over 1500 dollars a night hahaha. I need to bring that down a tad.

About 57 nights. Enough that the flimsy OEM Denver mattress in my new 23RLSW basically died! Now looking for a *good* replacement, short queen. But we love our camper, can't wait for next year!
Edited to add miles: We did nearly 2000 miles, too, but most of that was a June trip to Maine.

90 days as camp hosts. We were at a site just 72 miles from our sticks and bricks so towed it about 150 miles all summer... a new low for us.

That's what DW has been saying, despite almost 60 nights camping. (That's about a third of the season spent camping. Wowser!)

We bought ours in late March and spent only 6 nights actually camping in it away from home. 
However, I did some remodeling on our house and my daughter wanted to spend random nights on the weekends "camping" out in our back field. So at least 20 nights total if you count the ones at home. We do most of our camping in the fall, winter, and spring though as we live in the desert, so hopefully that number will go up significantly before the end of the year.

I spent from April 20th till Oct 15th minus a couple of nights when I had to go back to the house. So I had over 160 plus days and maybe 2000 miles, we had a seasonal site but traveled with the local Jayco group too

about 7 night camping, and 4 nights in the driveway with my 6 y/o son
between the cottage and buying a new house with an acre of land, we just didn't have much time for camping!
