I found one mention of actual camping on the boards in the last 1000 days from a provider that said she has camped in between tour stops in the past.

Curious if any providers have even been asked on a "camping date"?

And...b/c so many have different ideas of what camping is, I'm not talking the luxurious end of the spectrum (driving a house on wheels with all the accoutrements of home somewhere and calling it camping).

I'm actually referring to sleeping in an actual tent, air mattress or similar allowed, cooking over a fire, drinking beers, hiking, fishing, etc.  

How many of you would actually do it?  The camping that is.  ;P

How far away from civilization would you go (accepting this is not a great idea for a first date)?

Okay see I am a tom boy at heart. I was born in Georgia, and I used to ride go carts, dirt bikes, I LOVE to fish, I can bait my own hook, take the fish off, and clean it. I have went to Pigeon Forge and hiked Mt Leconte which is a 14 mile hike up and back. I love doing outdoor things, so camping is one of my favs. I did do this with a client in Cleveland, and we had a good time. Roasted marshmallows that night, and then roasted each other in the tent...LOL

SO bring it on Secret....

That'd be the best date ever.

Ha ha there are a lot of things you wouldn't have guessed with me. I can dress up but I am so not afraid to get dirty.

NOOOO throw the fishy back!!!

I'm a total hippie, I know.

Must be something about us Peaches....

Can you do an oil change?

Oh yes and change a tire and drop a transmission..... Lol

You said it baby....I learned how to drive in a pick-up out in a field...LOL And I have gone deer hunting, target practice in the field, and I LOVE deer jerky...so Tobi honey...LOL

I can change my own oil yes, I just don't have the time or the space, so I let the professionals do it

And would you stop and help me if I was on the side of the road with a flat tire in a skirt or dress, or even just jeans...LOL

motel 6 and subway(only way iam sh-tting in the woods is if there's a zombie apocalypse and the
ritz has been overrun!)

So my family has had a camper at a private campground for practically all my life--it's about an hour away from Cincy.  I had thought about doing 'roughing it' dates out there, but it is so hard to find the campground. But for people who spend all their time in the city, I think it's a wonderful idea.  Peace, quiet, fire, and beer!  

That's awesome about the smokies, ally.  I took a field biology class there, and we had to hike to Klingman's Dome and back one day, and I thought I was going to die of exhaustion on the side of the mountain haha.
