The summer brought with it many fun activities in the '70s, '80s, and '90s, and one such activity was the adventure of camping! Whether with friends or family, in an RV or a tent, and for leisure or roughing it, the summer camping trip was an unforgettable experience that created lasting memories.

This week we take you back to the camping trips of your youth. So put on some bug spray, grab another log for the fire, and toast yourself a plump marshmallow for a nostalgic journey to the great outdoors!

  • Girl scout camping. Sleeping on the ground in sleeping bags in tents. The stores, cooking hotdogs over the fire, being out in the woods. First time for all of it. Then , sleeping in cabins and trail rides.... first time at summer camp. Good times😁

    After one miserably failed family camping attempt in the woods, the rest of my camping adventures were with a nice tent in our enclosed backyard! My dad was a deer hunter and was very familiar with the woods but that wasn’t enough to make up for the rest of us it seemed in that doomed camp trip. But I really enjoyed the tent in the back yard quite a bit!! Thanks Jon and gang as this was a lot of fun!

    Spring 1981 Cub Scout trip. We made a pact to not eat anything unless we caught and cleaned it ourselves. There were boasts about going out and snaring rabbits or making a bow and arrow from scratch and getting a deer but most of us just ended up catching trout from a well stocked lake. Those of us lucky enough to have Dads or Grandpas teach us the proper way to clean our catch (blechh) had no problem but there were two or three who were too grossed out and we never let them forget it. To this day they get teased 🤣
  • My grandfather had a 65 international camper special truck with the camper in the bed and I remember him taking my sister and I and the whole family camping and fishing! Of course my sister and I would fish 🐟 with a stick and a string with a hook on the end of string a worm on the hook! Lol! We actually caught a small fish that way! Good times! We always like looking at the photos of that event and the fish we caught! Great video! Thanks for the retro memories flashback!

    There were a few occasions that I went camping with my stepdad during the summer, though during some days in VA the nights were warm enough to not even need to be covered up in a sleeping bag. During the day we'd be lucky to catch something bigger than a trout while he taught me how to gut and clean a fish. But he knew I wasn't a fan of having only fish while spending the days at the campground, so he brought along burger patties and hot dogs to cook on the camp grill. Didn't want to risk my video game handhelds to get stolen so I just left them home with my mom. To my surprise though our earliest campground had a "leisure" area with a couple of arcade cabinets and I had my sights set on Frogger, but my stepdad didn't want me to go crazy on spending HIS quarters lol.

    Ah, the nostalgic taste of "off" bug spay 😅

    My family tried camping once. It rained, the campsite flooded and we spent awhile in a hotel lobby where I watched the land before time. From that point on it was always a hotel.

    True story: we went swimming in the Great Salt Lake. In 1981. Mom was too busy to unpack our bathing suits, so we swam in our underwear! Gross, I know. My brother - 6 and me 5, dried off, fell asleep in the back of van...awoke to this horrible scrathy pain! our underwear had solidified, like a cast, from all the salt! Had to my ass was scratched up pretty bad for a week! lol Sorry long post My family, all six of us, not poor, but money - went to Catholic School. We basically camped everywhere, anywhere, ll over the country from 1975 to 1993. From DC to LA all points in between, in our 1978 Plymouth Voyager Super Van, witj seating for 12! My dad took out the last two rows of seats, added a storage box and mattress...and there was room for all six of us, and a table, and a black and white tv, and the atari 2600...playing FOUR player Warlords with my three old brothers in the middle of the nowhere in Utah or Arizona... Edit: Favorite memories...sleeping at the bottom of the grand canyon..in Phantom Ranch...tops the list. Yellowstone, Death Valley, Redwoods, the Everglades, Key West, Key Largo...Smoky mountains.
