I used to be the type to go tent camping. I didn't need anything, but a sleeping bag and a tent. Now that I'm older I usually take a trailer camping. My bones can't take the cold, hard ground anymore.

Tent camping is nice when the weather is right, but I hear ya about the hard ground thing. When we tent camp I bring an air mattress. There may be some hard core campers that would call me a pansy, but if I slept on the ground with nothing other than a sleeping blanket I wouldn't be able to walk when I woke up in the morning.
