Bike camping trip with my 12yo went way better than expected

Honestly thought he'd complain the whole time but he actually stepped up. We did about 15 miles a day over 3 days, camped at state parks, and cooked everything on a camp stove. He navigated using maps (no GPS allowed - my rule), set up his own tent, and only complained once which is honestly a win.

The whole thing cost maybe $400 including gas and food. He's already asking when we can do it again. Not gonna lie, it felt good to see him realize he could do something hard.
