Wow! this hit me!! it is like a time machine, other than we had a red Colman drink cooler, this looks like my childhood camping adventures. I can literally smell the ambiance, the stove fuel, the trees, the soil and leaves, the firepit and, not least, the oil canvas of the tent! Thank you for sharing this… it is just beautiful!!
The mention of camping in style in 1972 likely indicates a nostalgic reflection on past camping experiences. The specific year may hold sentimental value or represent a significant era in camping trends. Share more details or memories for a richer discussion.
Hard sided suitcase(s) outside the tent. You just don’t see that anymore.
Proud dad deliberately focusing on the tent he just put up rather than the family.
Given this is 1972, your family had *Gear*. We would have envied that equipment in the 80s.
Yessss! Pre Bluetooth speaker and generators!
And because we are camping, mom doesn’t mind still making all the food and cleaning up all our shit- everybody wins!
I can smell the mustiness of that canvas tent.
Haha including hard sided suitcases outside the tent. Looks so familiar.
Nothing like cooking breakfast on a Coleman range.

This was our camp last week
Looks pretty much what my families’s campsite looks like every summer.
I love how camping doesn’t “really” change. This was my family in ’75.
I have the same photo but from 1975

Mom is brushing her teeth. I remember that suitcase as the “Mom” suitcase. She has all her makeup and toiletries in there.
