Do you keep a camping journal?

[campingnut]

Has anyone seen the log where you keep up with dates where you are and going ,mileage, rating the cg ,What you like about the cg and dislike, featues around the cg, good or bad moments there

We have a mileage journal (towing mileage) in the glove compartment that Holly sometimes adds stuff about the trip, when putting in the miles. It has been fun to go back and read. We started it with our first trip in March 2002 right after our wedding.

Camping World has one and I checked a few other sites, they all have the same one. It's around 9 bucks

I've always intended to keep a journal; we do keep maps, etc, and mark the sites we like best for future reference and all that is in a binder.  I guess the closest I come to a camping journal in this sense is scrapbooking pictures from trips.  (ok, so maybe I have SEVERAL trips worth yet to scrapbook....)

i have kept a journal since we began with tent camping. than started a new one when we moved to a pop up (jayco).   In the front i recorded the cost of everything from the camper to dishtowels.

each trip i include our camping spot - info on cleanliness of bathrooms and campground.  we always record after a walk other campsites we felt would be good for us in the future.   I record the gas price and our expenses - this is for our kids so that they can look back if they ever take their families and can see inflation at work lol.  I record the weather for each day and at the end of each day especially if we have been sightseeing I ask the kids to give me their favorite thing we did and what they liked best about the excursion..i record it directly in their words it's really sweet to go back and read about our past trips it brings them back to life

our jornal is actually is a project notebook so there is a margin to record weather expenses ect.

we also record our trips to the beach and its very interesting to see how economical even with gas prices the way they are that most times we could go for 3 weeks camping for 1 week at the beach....

Yes Thats it Thanks alot. I had seen one at a store but couldn't remember what store.

I will resurrect this post and say yes we do.  

I started when we bought the pup.  ANd I just started a new one for our new pup.  Just where when mileage, and high points nothing major but helps keep track of what we did...

OK....I keep notes at a hit and miss  when we bought the TT I bought a new journal and said I'd be better at writing down info but it's still a hit and miss deal.......Ok I'm going out to the trailer and get my book and catch up....... :book:

I bought the journal that Griffsmom has.  I decided that it would be perfect for the new HTT.  This way I can keep track of how often and where we use the camper.

And when do you think we would get the time to fill in a journal?

Actually, I have been keeping a log ever since we got the Popup, and I have most of our trips recorded in it.
Then when we got the Hybrid, the first 2 years I have kept a log of where we went, but seemed to have lost interest after that.
Now with the RV, I have taken it out again and am tracking where we went, the mileage, money spent on gas.
We'll be going on our 9th trip in it next week, so we are getting plenty of use with it.

We keep a black marble note book in the camper. My DH is great at writing in it. We also like to give it to the kids when they are sitting around with nothing to do. It's funny to see the change in their handwriting over the years.

We bought our first PUP in '94 and have been keeping a journal ever since. I bought a dairy book and write the date, place, campsite #, weather, any interesting happenings, break downs (like cables, a/c etc), family events.
It is intersting to note how many times we have stayed at favorite campsites over the years, when this bad storm happened, or the time we saw that interesting animal.
It is definitely worth the time to do.

Do you count the number of cows, too?
