From the post on camping, in the comments someone mentioned my biggest problem with our camping experience last labor day(-which was great fun, we loved it!) The campgrounds are so close together, I didn't want to see everyone and have everyone see us. I didn't want to hear their music and conversations. And you weren't getting as much nature that way. I was constantly having to worry about how loud we were. Camping should be one place where kids can be themselves and not have to worry that their normal speaking voice is too loud. It's a chance to explore and see nature. I'll have to remember to tell Justin that he has the perfect voice for Shakespeare on stage!! That's a great way to look at it!
Someone has also experienced this, this is from the comments on the post:

we love to camp, but honestly haven't gotten out there with the kids much yet... at 6 & 3 we're getting back into it. here on long island, the local campsites are very close together (we call it parking lot camping... NOT my favorite) the first time we went, the youngest was 2, and he & i sat from 6 am to 8 am in the car reading books (thank goodness i brought a whole bag full) and eating graham crackers, so he wouldn't wake any of our neighbors up with his adorable, but very loud voice... "mom!!! lets go to the beach!! mom!! marshmallow!!" and so on... sometimes you have to have those extra entertainment options... needles to say, we didn't make it a second night!check out national wildlife federation's "great american backyard campout" http://www.nwf.org/BackyardCampout/we did one with several families last year and it was a great hit!!thanks for the great story- my 1st time on your blog
