I would have voted but no category for my camping. I don't full time but am rarely home more than 3 weeks before going camping again. I also don't have a "season". If I can get my trailer out of it's pad in my back yard and the roads aren't covered with snow, I will go.
Usually go for a week at a time and once or twice per year leave for a month (or more).

We only use the trailer twice a year, but each of those is for at least a month. This year was only 76 days, down from 146 the year before. Next year we are getting back to two long road trips, totaling 120 days at this point.

After full timing for 8 years after Katrina, we have a roots place. But we get away every summer from July to Oct, and then once a month in between. No real category for us in the poll.

Voted. Like you we Canadians have a short season. Our parks are open May to October and this year we camped in every possible month. A total of 32 nights this year.

We camp about 14 weeks a year. Go South for 10 weeks in the Winter, North for a month in the Summer and a couple of week long trips closer sometime.

Only been out twice this year, but those two trips have totaled 114 days. One more short trip over Thanksgiving will take that up to 123 days. Thus, when I say only two or three times, it's a bit misleading as to the actual usage.

Next year I will add category, don't go often, but when I do, it's an expedition length deployment!

Didn't vote - didn't want to skew results...we go out 2-3 times a year, but each trip is usually around a month or so.

We try to get out at least once a month. That can be 4 days to 4 months. One to three weeks at a time mainly.

We are retired and are very active in frog activities. This being said we go to many rallies across the country and meet with other frogs in addition to going to rallies. This year we have probably traveled 7000 miles across the country and Canada.

Voted!
I am fortunate enough to have every other fri off. So we camp on every one of those weekends during the season, plus a longer, usually about 2 weeks, trip.
Had to skip a few weekends that we wanted to camp, but total was 11 camping trips, for a total of 49 nights in the camper.

Might change next time to the number of nights camped instead.
Our category is also not in the poll............
We made 8 camping trips from 3 nights to 10 nights each.
Our season now is March 1st to Nov. 30th. Everyone's is different.

I'm curious as to the reason for your poll. How many trips in no way reflects the number of nights on the road. And how many trips "in season" is very ambiguous, considering that people determine their own season, regardless of the weather. We've been out on only 7 trips this year, but they span from January through November (so far), and are 2-4 weeks each.

Well Jim, I'm not a statistician or professional pollster. And as I previously posted, I understand most people's 'season' will vary. I was just looking for an average yearly figure, and didn't want to confuse those who only camp for camping season and then winterize.
Perhaps if I do one next year, I will just have categories for total number of nights spent in the RV.
My reason for the poll is to feel better that I wasn't using my RV enough after having it for our first year, with only 5 long weekend trips under our belt. I can now see that from those who voted, nearly HALF use their RV's a HELL of a lot. But, my better half has to work Mon-Fri, so that's to be expected. One day we hope to be in that 50%. But judging from the hair color of those at our last FROG rally, it's gonna have to wait a few more years. I'm assuming most of those voting are probably in that demographic with much more time on their hands.

We usually only do three trips a year, but they are each long ones - snowbird to Florida from New Years to Easter or so, a couple or three weeks in Hatteras, and then a month or so in Canada. This year it was like 125 days or so ....
