Staying with Grandma - question - help

My son is 3 years old and has been home for 8 months. Both he and his sister have stayed with my husband's parents for one night and today they are going to go camping with my parents for one night. DS LOVES his grandparents and loves spending time with them. However, we are in complete melt down mode today (crying, weeping, etc) because after nap he is going to go camping with Grandma and Grandpa (DS also loves camping).

He says that we wants to go camping, but we have spent the morning in tears.

I am not sure exactly what I am looking for other than maybe some of your experiences with kids spending the night with grandparents. We have been home 8 months, and he tends to still worry a little when I am gone.

Is this weeping thing normal and we just have to continue working through it. I have been reassuring him all morning that we will pick him up tomorrow after nap.

The last time he spent the night with his other grandparents, he came home almost mad at me, but grandma said that he did great and had a lot of fun. This lasted for about 6 hours and then he was fine and went about his business.

Any thoughts, experiences, etc would be welcome as I sit here in tears. Thanks!
