How many nights do you have camping this summer?

Just sitting back reflecting on our camping season this year, feeling like we could have fit more trips in. However, after counting up our nights spent in the trailer we did manage to accumulated 30 nights of camping in our short summer, not too shabby!! How about you guys, where are you sitting so far in 2012?

We've had 41 nights of camping, and maybe a couple more to come. Got an early start this year, due to the warm spring we had.

Less 7 days in July when I was on a houseboat on the Tennessee River, I have spent every day in 2012 in my 5'er. As of today that is 249 days less 7 = 242 days this year.

I'm shooting for 366 less 7 (2012 is a leap year) = 359.

We were able to get in 34 so far with about 9-10 more to go, then it's to our winter den. Will start booking next season this week though to keep the spirits high though the winter months.

Well this was the shakedown year with the new TT, so far 20 nights (plu end of May). We have 9 more reserved and 2 more that we are still looking for a spot. That also does not count the Cub Scout Campouts (both tents and cabin). Next year we are planning 3 trips that will be close to 30 nights just for them.

Well, if you only count the "summer", we only had 22 at Jackson Lake in the Grand Teton National Park, but in April we spent seven at Zion National Park in Springdale, Utah. So, in total this year we have used our new FW 29 nights. However, we do go out and sit in it once in a while on its pad, does that count?

37 so far with about 10-12 more to go. It's been a slow year due to kids sports schedules.

35 that I can think of, just awesome!!! But we may be done for the year :-( as the camping budget has been blown... Next year well stay in more state parks rather than private parks and save money...that way the budget will stretch longer :-)

I have camped 93 nights so far this year, but 4 have been in a friends camper, so 89 in my trailer. Weekends camping until October then I have another 11 day trip with more weekends until the end of the year or it snows and I can't tow/drive safely. FYI I do work full time.

Since our trailer spent nearly a month at the dealers for warranty work we only got around 60 days.
