We're retirees but don't do rallies because of the parking lot atmosphere but that's just us, many love them. In reading these comments I'd like to make some observations:

- Rallies and Good Sam Chapters don't just happen. They are run by volunteers and the volunteers put in a lot of time. Those still working typically don't have this time committment. The Chapters are created by folks just like you. Good Sam doesn't create them.
- Magazine articles - if more young families would submit them, there would probably be more articles printed.
- If you want to meet new camping friends, create a group for your area and plan to meet up at a particular park on Fri-Sun. Again, this entails lots of planning and reservations. I doubt families would set aside 4-5 days of their vacation time to go to the big rallies.
When our kids went camping with us we would never think of spending our precious time at a rally. We always sought out nature experiences and visiting different areas of our beautiful country.
...just some thoughts....
