We've never stayed anywhere but campgrounds. We usually have our Grandkids with us, and as much as I'd like to provide them with the 'experience' of being surrounded by nothing but pavement, 1000-watt floodlights, and noisy trucks overnight, campgrounds seem to be the best bet for us (naturally, to each his own). Sure, they cost money, but in comparison to what my motorhome cost, not to mention its upkeep, the cost of a nice safe campground with amenities is insignificant. It's what a true vacation is all about, for us. Happy travels!
You sound like the same as us, we always use a campground. When I get to be too cheap to use the campground I guess I'll quit camping.
I travel numerous times a year, I've seen the view along the way before, i just want to get there, I'm not sight-seeing along the way. I start out very early and drive till, usually, midnight or later.
I'm just far to considerate to drive through a campground full of people on vacation at midnight and again around 6am.
Besides just being considerate, stopping where I do means I can grab coffee, a bite to eat as I drive and I have gas stations close by. I can also stop where I want, not where there's a campground, which given that I travel all year-round might hours apart.
