Its been years since I've gone camping but the crisp air and the sunrise in the morning camping is pretty great as is looking at the stars and sitting around the campfire at night. Magical

Camping in non-fly season is great here in middle Ontario.
That's about 3 days in early October, but it is GREAT!

I camp quite often at rocket launches, of course my trailer has a generator, shower, heater and Direct TV.

If you camp at high enough altitude then you wont run into many flies/bugs and the few you do run into are really slow moving and not much of an issue.

I won't go to the lake bed without a shower, the alkaline dust can really dry you out and eat up your skin. Our launch site is pretty forbidding and I like to be comfortable.

Then maybe it's location - the last time i was above treeline was in the summer and it wasn't too bad as far as bugs go. There was snowmelt though.

The reason you might not have had bugs in higher elevations is there is usually winds and they will keep bugs away.

I only ran into really bad bugs once out of dozens of trips in the Sierra alpine country, but it was one of the worst batch of mosquitoes that I've seen. In the Cascades, I run into them every year in late spring/ early summer. I don't remember any mosquitoes in the San Juans of southwestern Colorado.

It's strange, I guess maybe we get lazier as we get older but I used to love camping outdoors as a kid and I flatly refuse to do it now.

its hard here because of the fire bans and the snakes
last time i went camping (well really should say the last time i slept in a tent, was about 50 metres from a house) we were attacked by a wombat. In the dark they sound enormous and we all had no idea wtf was after us.

I'm planing a multiple day trip as soon as the catfish bulkhead bite comes and passes,towards the end of April or early June.I love camping(would be better with internet hook ups)but camping in Texas is less enjoyable than when I lived up north.Soooo many snakes,alligators,bugs and other assorted creepers that it can get uncomfortable quick if you're not prepared.

I think a certain % of people have an instinctual or natural draw towards the solitude of remote places. When I'm camping I feel like the king of my life. My borders expand. My awareness expands. Here at home I'm constantly aware that my life's borders bump into 20+ people all living and sleeping within 40 feet of each other and me... My mother called me after she saw Into The Wild. She was crying! She wanted to make sure I'd never do that to her. She told me she was watching a movie and the boy reminded her so much of me that it upset her. I hadn't seen it so I didn't know what she was talking about and then I watched it and felt very strange seeing my personality on a Movie screen.
