We have 75 acres w/ a 6-7 acre pond in Somerset, PA. which is about 55 miles from where I live. No electricity. There are a few run-down wood structures, one of which I sleep in when camping (however, my wife would not sleep in it).

My point is that my wife & I, as well as my brother and his wife, used to camp most every weekend. We had a port-a-john there through the summers. But back in '04, we all had baby girls.

Because we don't have a house or livable structure, the enjoyment factor is way low for the property now that the kids are here, family wise. I still love the place, and maybe get to go one day out of most weekends, and still get to do some camping on holiday weekends.

There are several reasons why we have not built, but I curse myself every time for not just having pulled the trigger and built.
