I've never had a bad camping experience, though admittedly it's been years since I've gone. I have a bunch of practially new camping gear I'm looking forward to finally using now that my son is old enough to really enjoy it. Problem with living in Colorado is that we have a very narrow window at the beginning and end of the season where camping is a pleasant experience. It seems like the entire country converges upon us during the Summer months, making it really hard to find a nice quiet camping spot. If I ever tried to camp during those prime months, I imagine I would have my first "bad" experience.
