Our backs aren't good enough to tent camp & sleep on the ground. We have a pop out trailer that is super light & is towed by our car. Not much stuff in it (but has electric so I can sew, have my cups of tea & music or see a movie, all a requirement!). We each have a bed that is comfortable, and the pups snuggle down with each of us. Good way to vacation, and most of all, its clean. We camp only in safe areas, and are always very aware of what's going on around us.
