The important thing is to get out and camp. How and where are irrelivent.
I use a hammock when camping alone or with the boys. When I go with my wife I use a tent. I have gone with just a bag and carried a tarp incase it rained. If I know it's not going to rain, I don't use the tarp over the hammock or the rainfly over the tent. There is nothing better than sleeping under the stars.
