<p>I tested my simple translation skills and searched for an example English complex sentence on the internet...can someone judge my translation of this:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Although I like to go camping, I haven't had time to go recently, and have nobody to go with.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>to this:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>虽然 我喜欢去露营, 我不没时间去最近 还有我没有有人去跟。</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Corrections (grammar, word order, word choice) very much appreciated.</p>
