while not a renter and also using travel trailers instead of motorhomes id like to point out that most of my camping is in groups with multiple rigs. Every june we do a large extended family campout. we have had as many as 12 sites with various rigs on them (smallest being a tent largest being 5th wheels well over 30 feet and everything in between. We have a 6 person site limit where we camp. each family gets their own site but we all still have common meals and campfires and visit. this is the norm for us and we are all still very much camping together only without the drama that will be inevitable with a shared rig.
Our two families would like to try the one vehicle experience, mainly because we don't like to drive for long distances at slow speeds and so two husbands can share the driving hours. But your idea of "semi-detached" camping sounds a winner: enough privacy to be able to avoid annoying relatives and opportunity to mingle when you feel like it.

also yes, Juno was our beach to take. One of the proudest yet most tragic moments in our history.
Mother's side grandfather fought in WWII as a top ranking official but was jailed and sentenced to death by Mussolini for contravening racial laws (he hid jews in our home); the very day of his execution his prison was liberated by the allies and my mother was born exactly 9 months later. If I live today it is only because someone died on those beaches fighting for Europe's liberty. My wife and I decided that we owed it to our daughter to educate her on what your great Countries stand for. Too many foreigners (and sadly Americans too) hate what you stand for because their parents failed to educate them about history or didn't teach them that the price of liberty is blood. You are absolutely right to be proud of Juno.

What part of Italy are you from? My family tree leads back to Abruzzo.
Both sides of my family are from Naples. Father's side knighted in 1721 by the King of Naples and Mother's side knighted in 1536 by Emperor Charles V.
