No TV, no playstation and no computer made campfire conversations lively and entertaining. My boys, who are now teenagers, love to remember about the time they built their own campfire, and cooked their own dinners. And also about the time a wild hog stole all our food from our cooler while we slept. Yes, camping is more work but the memories are worth the effort.
