I tried camping holidays. We went to St Tropez (Port Grimaud), it rained, so we rented a caravan instead. Oh and we argued, because we slept really badly, and got invaded by ants :mrgreen:

These days we have sown in groundsheets
Was that Praries De La Mer? I have stayed there, it was bloody hot hot year......its a nice place.
Been there done it ...... time for a change :D
Fixed it for ya, unless you are thinking of vegetables )
Very funny, unless the tent is airtight, ants will get in :roll: Big crawly black ants going up your nose and in your mouth while you sleep.
Yes, Snapzzz, it was on Prairies de la Mer. The rain was a bit epic :shock: Folks that stayed in their tents were washed out.
We did however manage to do some skiing. On the way back we drove up to Les Arcs to stay for a few days. Did some mountain biking in the July snow and then some skiing in Tignes on the glacier. This was when Tignes proudly advertised skiing 365 days.
I have been in a caravan when it rains, what a blasted noise.

I went camping in Australia a few years ago. It was great, and quite exciting. I hired a Toyota Landcruiser with one of my cousins and we did the Gibb River road in the Kimberleys - dirt road with rocky fords over the rivers and loads of beautiful gorges with palm trees etc. It was the dry season and we didn't bother with tents - just slept on ground sheets in our sleeping bags. The most frightening bit was when I realised all the logs lying on the river bank that I was walking past were crocodiles! I was about 10 feet away when I realized they weren't logs :shock:
