Question

16 year old boy

Answer

if it was with her parents and just for a night or two I wouldn't mind. but if it was for like a week then no or if it was with other friends no.

Answer

Depends. Alone? No. With her parents or family? Sure.

Answer

My bf came with my family camping when we were 15/16.

12 years later here we are

Our dads were best friends so it was no issue.

Answer

Depends. If her parents were there & you’ve met them & know they’re good people? Sure, he can go. 
If it’s just him & her & friends? 16 is young for all that.  
My fiancé went on vacation to myrtle beach with my family & me when we were 16 & only dating for 7 months.

Answer

It depends on the child, the relationship, the trip, the tent situation, how “on it” the parents would be since you said they would be there. Like if it were my son and his girlfriend was coming with us, I would be sure nothing could happen because they wouldn’t be alone at any point. My son would be sleeping in a tent with my husband and the girl in my tent, not up for negotiation. 
In two years he’s old enough to go off to college if he wants, and then he can make his own decisions - until then if I’m hosting a camping trip, nobody’s leaving pregnant!

Answer

Would the girl’s parents be ok with it? I wouldn’t be as the girl’s mother.

Answer

Separate tents, yes. If they are going to be sleeping together in the same tent then no.

Answer

Need more information... just the 2 of them OH Heck No! With her family, after a detailed conversation with the parents and knowing they will be in different tents & depending on the kid... maybe.

Answer

If it's a family vacation he has been invited along to, then yes. What a great experience for him. If it's with a group of friends, then no. 
Makes me think if a 15 year old I know of that has just flown from Australia to the UK for two weeks by herself to be with her boyfriend. Like seriously, what parent in their right mind thinks that's normal!

Answer

if parents were going, sure
