I had a wonderful two days at the lake with my mom and grandma. It was a lot of fun, even though we couldn't go play in the water. I used to go camping every summer for weeks at a time, but after my accident and my mom's accident it was just too hard. We had a pop up camper that was a lot of work, and cutting and hauling firewood and water was too hard on us.
My grandma just got a large camper and great AC and so we went and stayed with her. It was almost like back when we would go. I miss it a lot.
I realized that I am just too broken to go camping anymore, though. At least like that. I can't sleep on the hard table bed anymore, my back was so shot this morning that I couldn't move, and I'm sleep deprived. I wouldn't be able to last any longer out there.
But it was fun while it lasted.
Do you love camping?

I do love camping, but usually for me it's festival camping.
I did get sick of walking miles with all the camping gear, luckily I bought myself an old folding caravan so now I can drive to my pitch & have slightly more comfort.
It is a shame you can't camp like you used to but would it not be possible to get a better mattress for your grandma's camper so you can go again?

It's a good idea. I'm sure there are a few things we could do to make it easier. But I'd always be relying on someone else.
@LadyAlyxandrea there are almost certainly some like minded & similarly abled people in the world. Maybe there could be a group that run camping type events that could work?
Glamping might be an option but likely more expensive.
My dad lost his lower left leg, but they managed to get a campervan converted so he can drive it. He & my mum are always away in it now they've retired
I hate camping for all the reasons you mentioned and more. Luxury hotels please lol
