Gatekeeping fun is such a nerdy thing to do.

I've been in a tent that got flooded in the rain due to oversight on the placement of tarps and where the water was accumulating to.
I've been in a tent on a night so cold, it started raining inside from condensation from our breathing.
I've been in a van with a mattress.
My friends are making a pretty good case for why I should consider buying a small fibre glass trailer.
It's not camping, it's glamping, but it's not a resort either. Glamping is a pretty solid middle ground. Plus with good friends with kids trying to convince me to go camping with, it'll be fun. Lots of great ideas I'd show the kids like playing with sparklers (vs poking fire with sticks as kids), glowstick poi, electric scooters and bikes for zipping around to grab water/go to the showers, ice cream cone smores, jiffy pop etc. I totally agree that adding those toys and activities is a lot of fun vs straight up slumming it out backpacker style.

Because that's neither camping nor glamping. That's renting.
