Sorry to hijack a perfectly good mud-slinging match by posting ON topic, but...........
All you have to do is mention overnight stops in a rest area, big box store lot or other place to illicit all sorts of ‘cheap skate’ type comments.

The cheapskate comments aren't about whether you use hookups or not, they are about not paying for a place to park. It's an entirely different discussion than the OP's complaint.

At some point, which I obviously didn't catch, "camping" turned from parking your 23-footer out in the national forest for the weekend--no hookups--to paying $110 a night to park your 45-foot Behemoth Industries Luxury Cruiser at Slab Heaven RV Resort and essentially duplicating the experience of living at home.
It seemed to be EXACTLY what the OP was saying, that boondocking or dry camping is ‘weird’ now because you’re not paying $110 a night for a slab next to the Jones’.
