Alone or in a group?

I prefer just me and the wife. Occasionally my kids will camp next to us but they only go out 2-3 times a year. We tend to go 10 outings per year on average.

My DW and I typically travel by ourselves. We sometimes meet at campsites with family, but not often. Also, I like to solo camp locally most of the winter. Something about snowshoes along a trail that is very satisfying.

Alone about 98% of the time. My oldest son has his own rv and we may spend 10 days a year at the same cg but that is it.
I really enjoy socializing with other campers but we are on our own schedule.

Wife and I camp 90% alone,well our 2 daughters (21-26) still show up quite a bit.

All of our friends that RV like full hook-up KOA'S or the beach, where the wife and I prefer state parks with lakes and hiking.

Another words....we like camping. Lol

My DW and I generally camp alone. We enjoy cooking out and having a happy hour but we have camped with her brother and his wife but they camp way different than we do. They don’t cookout and very often only bring a few meals that they’ve made at home. Most of the time they go to restaraunts. I can do that at home, not my idea of camping. We like being on our own schedule to do things and Im a wanna get there kind of guy. No pleasure stops along the way but to each his own.

X2, it's easier to stop and look at something interesting, get fuel, go shopping, etc..

X-3, besides, in both our families, we are the only ones with an RV, and there is only one friend with an RV, but they rarely use it.

Usually just the bride and myself. If a small group then like others said "we'll see you tonight at the final destination" and go our own way during the day.

We are mostly alone now... usually one or two trips a year we have a friend or two meet us at a campground.

Years past, especially when the kids were younger, we did a couple summers camping with up to 3 other families. We found out quickly that the "caravan" thing just doesn't work, better to meet at a campground. We had a LOT of fun!

Now, wife and I find out of the way campgrounds and plan a touristy thing to check out, then just sit under the camper's awning and read books.

Just as much fun as years past, just in a different way.

I love and like my wife. We know we are going to get along just fine. I don't have the energy to coordinate the RVing activities with others.

My favorite way to travel is with my girl and 3 dogs. Sometimes the girl has to work so I go alone.

Once in awhile we go with a group, but they usually choose some lame RV park and it is not that rewarding. I would like to go boondocking with some close friends.
