I am married with a 7 yr old daughter. My family is new to the camping scene. We went on our first trip to Hunting Island STate Park outside of Beaufort, SC three years ago on a church retreat. It was camping made easy- one of the families that organized the trip does ALL the food prep for the entire weekend. We end Sunday with church services on the beach. I was hooked. We signed back up for the second year and realized if we were going to jump in, we would not do it long in a tent. So we bought a used pop-up and love it. Last year we reserved a spot near the beach at Hunting Island. My 7 yr old daughter woke up early to see the sun rising over the ocean and commented "isn't God great". That confirmed this is the life. While i am not an outdoorsy kind of girl, I love the peace and fellowship of camping. Our camping buddies got themselves a pop-up weeks ago, so we are all committed to more camping!
