Just keep in mind that camping can be much worse than the beach. You have mosquitoes, fire ants, spiders, horse flies, and black flies, just to name a few. You are basically a walking buffet. No question that camping is simply not for everyone. Take your couple hours on the beach, multiply it by ten, and try to imagine sleeping through that.
