Any security issue we have ever had were in a campground. Not in a Casino, travel centre or Walmart. Generally speaking I find campgrounds inconvenient for overnight stays. Parking lots are like big pull through sites. Not always easy to find in a campground. Many campgrounds are unstaffed after hours. Picking up supplies involves getting parked, unhooking, driving downtown to a Walmart and buying supplies and then driving back to the campground...in a strange town. To each his own. I have no problem with folks staying in campgrounds if that's where they are comfortable, or maybe their unit is not equipped well for dry camping. I am always amused by those that seem concerned with where I sleep.
