95% State Park non-hookup sites. 90% of those the same place.
You must be like my dad.
He started us camping in 1965 at a COE park on a lake in Arkansas. It was 69 before we got a tent. Slept in lawn chairs or the boat before that. From 1965-1970 we averaged 50-60 weekend nights and one week long vacation on that lake in the same CG.
He bought a popup in 79, a TT in 84 as he retired.
His last year camping before Mom's health forced an end was 186 days in that CG in 1993 - though at a W/E site because they all were W/E by then.
Over that time - he likely spent less than 30 nights total in another CG anywhere out of what I have to estimate as near 2,000 nights camping.
