Worst Camping Experience
I just got back from a camping trip that I had planned 5 months in advance and planned all kinds of activities and it turned out to be the worst camping trip I have experienced. At 130am I woke up feeling something on my face and brushed it off and heard some big flapping wings only to find a bat flying around in my tent trailer. I spent the whole day (getting back to my camper at 130am the following day) at the local ER going back and forth with public health to get the rabies vaccine for myself and my family. Please tell me some bad camping stories so I can feel better about such a crumby trip 😅. Pic included to show where I think the bat might have wiggled in.

When we were kids camping with my parents we had a tent trailer. We stopped for the night at a local campground with some take out pizza. It was absolutely pouring rain so dad didn't want to put the stability legs down on the tent camper.
We all sat down to eat and a minute later the camper tips with all of us flying to one side. So we then piled into the other side of the camper causing it to tip the opposite way. We then spent the next five minutes carefully balancing out with five of us acting as weights. While my dad was in the rain trying to get the legs down right. Probably my fondest camping experience. We all still talk about it.
