We usually get a motorhome to sleep in, but the very least an air mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81467 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:39:28 +0000 tequiero21 81467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haven't gone camping in forever, but when we did, it was with sleeping bags. if we go camping with our los, i'd like to go to a cabin or something haha. hate camping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81464 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:37:43 +0000 BoogieBea 81464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we're car camping, yes. We have a double high full sized mattress. We also have a 6 person (might even be 8) tent, so it's quite roomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81459 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 10:34:00 +0000 Alivoo01 81459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rock the sleeping bags when we used to go camping. However, we do occasionally bring a pillow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81379 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:34:47 +0000 prettylizy 81379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pfft, we take a double high queen air mattress, sheets, blankets, pillows and make a proper bed! No sleeping bags on the floor for this diva! lol! Before DH I used to say less than 3 stars is camping, so it took some compromise for me to get on board with camping. We both really enjoy it, and it's nice to snuggle up in a cool tent under the covers with him :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81357 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 08:56:18 +0000 Mrsbells 81357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont think an air mattress counts as truly roughing it. Its got to be a sleeping bag to be authentic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81295 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 03:12:50 +0000 looch 81295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am with Red. I don't camp because I just prefer to sleep in a bed. My old bones can't handle the ground, heck, they can't even handle an air mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81247 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:55:28 +0000 MaisyMay 81247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs has never been real camping, but we've done the canvas cabin thing and will go again this summer. Those come with platform beds and a woodstove. I enjoy real camping, but I've got aches and pains now that I didn't have 10 years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81244 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 00:54:31 +0000 redboots 81244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! We camp up in the mountains so we definitely need something underneath us for some extra warmth. Plus one time there was some sort if animal crawling underneath the tent. Eeeek! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81158 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:19:58 +0000 Red 81158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most Definitely!! Nothing fun about waking up with a crampy sore muscles. My favorite way to "camp" is in a cabin on a bed, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81145 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:11:07 +0000 mrbee 81145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Wow, fancy!!</p> <p>I'm proud that I grew up sleeping on the floor a lot and want our kids to keep it real, futon-style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81133 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:02:13 +0000 chopsuey 81133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Twin/full! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81112 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:46:36 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 81112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yes! I don't go with out one! It's a.compromise bc I don't really like camping. Dh looooves camping and backpacking and I can't go more than 2 nights. Lol, I'm such a wimp. But Dh puts up with my prissy requests so I don't get cranky. I'm not fun when I'm cranky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81110 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:46:04 +0000 mrbee 81110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: What size are the air mattresses? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81108 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:44:12 +0000 leelee 81108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! DH has back issues so we have too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81106 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:43:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 81106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're sleeping on the ground in sleeping bags! although my mom would bring lots of blankets and put them down first as cushion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81102 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:41:53 +0000 mediagirl 81102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha - YUP! It fits perfectly inside of our tent, leaving us room on both sides for our clothing bags. :) We are such wusses. I never camped with one before I met my SO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81013 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:14:11 +0000 heffalump 81013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. I'm ok without one, but hubby didn't camp before he met me.... and he's pretty wimpy about it. I had to buy him a big tent that you can stand up in and we have a nice air mattress too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-go-camping-do-you-take-an-air-mattress#post-81012 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:13:18 +0000 chopsuey 81012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was younger, we used to sleep in sleeping bags on the floor!<br /> These days, all of our friends who "camp" take air mattresses!</p> <p>O.o<br /> When we take our LOs camping, we'll pitch tents and sleep in our sleeping bags on the lovely hard ground :) </p>
