We came back a day early after spoting a brown bear 30 meters from our camp. We pitched a tarp for shelter and slept soundly under the stars. My son and I both agreed the food and mountains were the best parts of the trip.
Took the oldest (14) camping for week in Austria

Hm. Reminds me of this one:
Taken many years ago on a trip with my son.

Great. It's not easy getting teenagers to enjoy something they do together with their parents. A few years back I took mine sailing the Baltic sea on a small boat. He loved it. Not my boat though, we were both guests. And the captain knew how to make a kid feel good about participating.

I bet that was a blast, how long were you guys out on the water?

We spent one night on an island, so a few hours getting there, a few hours back the next day. Though we took our time, it was a former military base with old torpedos and a huge "officer's sauna" that was on the whole day. Good times.

That sounds like an amazing father kid trip, do you have pictures of the base?

FWIW, there's many otherwise uninhabited islands in the Finnish archipelago that are open to tourists and have a fireplace, a sauna and other amenities., and their harbours are free.
