Ok just explain where you went and what happened, and if you like to go camping. But I'm expexting funny/weird camping stories. Here's mine:
My friend decided to go camping for his birthday but there was 10 of us and only 1 car. So I asked my dad to drives us. The thing is we got a recomendation for a place from someone who went there but that person didn't come with us. So we set out to find this camping spot by his directions. Unfortunately my dad was at work till 7 so we got there at 9 at it was dark and we weren't even sure if that was the place. My dad left and we were left with 1 car. The problem was we could only see summer houses around us and no camping spot. Then we found this piece of rock that was slanted and we set up 2 tents on it. Long story short we got drunk and broke both tents. The next morning we woke up because it was raining some guy was screaming through a megaphone that we are on his property and he was going to call the cops. It seems we slept on his backyard. So we go towards the car and 2 of our guys slept there all night with the engine running. The battery is dead. We're stuck Here the park rangers come and I ask them to give us a boost and half of us leave the other half that included me waited for someone's dad to come pick us up. That's it we got home safe and sound.
Edit: We found out while we were walking around waiting for someone to pick us up that we missed the place by one turn sooner on the highway.

heres my story, which i told counless times before:
our school decided to join the "israely trip" project. 7 days of camping with your classmates.
we met at 3am, and slept on the bus on our way to a nice "little" desert in the east. then we were dragged out of the bus to the friggin cold to watch 2 hours of the starting speech.
then- back to the bus till we got to the mountains. we climbed freely for about 6 hours till we got to the top and then took a break. so i asked the guide when are we done.
"see that little hill over there?" she pointed to a mount few km away.
"yes"
"were camping when we pass that"
"uuuuwwwhhhaaaaaatttt š š !!!?!??!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!"
so we climbed down (note-no sapety gear, falling=dying) that. then we "slept" in tha friggin cold. i woke up at 4am to find my classmate dragging me to the toilet(bush) with her.
"i saw a monster! i saw a monster!!!! massshhhhaaaaaaa!!!!!!!"
"sure it wasnt a bambi?"
"monster!!!!"
the next they our guide said it mustve been a wolf. š
so the next morning we walked a little in the dessert to get to the bus, 30km,40km, 10 hours away-who cares.
the next days were cultural, and nights were coed sleeping and coed showers.
some ppl were sent to the hospital during the trip, and i returned with a really bad cold and was sent to the hospital day after.
but it was sooooo fun!!!!!! š¤¢ š š š š¤£

the best security guard, EVER.
Last scout camping trip for high school...all of us guys planned everyone will go. around 60 of us...guess how many showed up? only four of us š¤¢
anyway...first night was just in school grounds (still in the city) then we hiked to the mountains in our respective groups(year levels)...1 by 1 we were "released"...and being the oldest our group was released last
so like we hiked across the mountains for two days while passing checkpoints where a scout master would be waiting to give us a task like say 100 PUSHUPS!!! WTF!? or figure out riddles and questions like who was the first scout or we can't pass the checkpoint...we tried exploiting a few shortcuts but we must need to go through every checkpoint for a ticket to show you passed that checkpoint...sounds a lot like "the amazing race right?" š¤£
and we finally get there we were the first team to reach the farm? lol...even though we were the last to leave the school grounds...and we never passed any other team...and other teams had like 10-20 people and we were just 4 š¤£
Anyway...everyone brought airguns(secretly of course) then we had war games at night...as you can guess, we lost to sheer number š¤£
well...everything else was the usual scouting exercises...commands like attention, facing, marching...then a bus to go home
EDIT: Oh, and everyone in our group forgot to bring cooking materials, and can openers so we ate raw canned food by opening them with a spoon š¤£

Aww.. I love camping. I can't remember where we were.. but we all got together and went camping for a buddy's birthday.. and well, we were all drinking.. and I finally got to the point, I seriously couldn't drink anymore so I crawled in my tent to go to sleep. I really don't know actually what happened, I just remember waking up in the creek downhill from my tent.. but supposedly, I somehow rolled out of my tent.. and well, just kept rolling. š¤£

lol Meta that story is hilarious. Nothing funny or horrible ever happens when im camping so im bummed I cant really share any good stories. But then again I have only camped a couple times in my whole life. Im not too big on roughing it out when I reached the age of 13.
Once these squirrels got into our tent and took all our food, another time my dad hid in the woods and when these kids went down the path to use the bathroom he cracked some twigs and then chased them through the dark, one got trampled and one I dont think will ever stop having nightmares lol.

Best camping trip was few years back during a paint ball expo. Played a game called Parasite in which small number of people are secretly selected as Infected and its their job to trick/scheme or ambush people and touch them making them infected. Was the funniest thing to watch people become paranoid of everyone and start turning on each other just to win the game. Worst camping trip, was in canada with a buddy on a hunting trip. Its all fun and games until someone angers the moose. I have never been so afraid in my life, nor have I ran any faster then that. thank god the moose was far away and the car was extremely close.

Polite bump.
I have never camped before. 𤣠And to be honest, I don't really like the whole "camping-into-nature-with-a-bunch-of-technology-and-waste-you'll-leave-behind" idea. If I want to go "camping", I'd like it to be just me and nature. Just like the old days. :'D It would be kinda soothing to live in solitude without any of society's troubles. Live like a hermit, you know!

My parents tortured me with lots of camping trips when I was little. Tenting it, no less. A few reasons I don't like camping:
->Moths. Lots of moths.
->Outhouses (and public showers, if you're lucky)
->Bears. Bad experience.
->Cold. Camping in the Rocky Mountains means wearing mittens to bed in the middle of August.
->Tea just doesn't taste the same when made from bottled water and heated on a camp stove in a coffee pot.
I prefer a nice lodge or a villa, where I can view nature from a distance š¤£

there was this one time i went camping with my girl scout troop. i was really looking forward to it since it was my first time to sleep in a tent. a hike and a dinner later, we came back to our tents. mine was covered with caterpillars, spiders, etc. i immediately grabbed the bug spray and just started spraying like mad. 10 min later, it started pouring so much that the inside of my tent got flooded. eventually the entire troop had to sleep in cabins. it was a disaster. š¢
