Difference between RVing and Camping???

I don't think you will get a technical definition but the person who made that remark is probably implying that "real campers" just have the basics (tent, fold-down, etc) and mainly use a "camper" in order to hike, have campfires and be in nature. Whereas, an "RVer" generally has an RV with more amenities and mainly uses the RV as sort of a home on wheels and may or may not be into the hiking, etc. In reality, many people are sort of a blend of the 2. Maybe have a nice motorhome; yet, really enjoy being in natural campgrounds. There are a few who have fancy RV's and seldom go outside. The variety is one of the attractions.

Same as the differences between "camping" and "glamping" LOL

"RVing" is confined to pavement.

"Camping" is on dirt.

I camp with my tent and RV (mostly traveling, but also setting up a house at the lake) using my motorhome. Sometimes I camp without my tent, spend the night on the ground in the open.

If all you do is RV and you think it is primitive living, then you might call it camping, but if you also camp, you might understand the difference.

Similar issues with people looking for a "campground" and when you get into their requirements they are really looking for a RV resort and might be bothered to actually have campers around them. But we also have people who take their RVs to campgrounds and come home complaining about being surrounded by people living in tents.

"Campers" go to enjoy the experience of staying in a campsite, with its attendant amenities, such as sitting around a campfire telling tall tales to each other, perhaps burning a few marshmallows for s'mores, maybe drowning some worms in a nearby stream, with the RV itself serving as little more than a fancy tent. "RV'ers" on the other hand, use their RV as either their full time home or home away from home, with the current campground or RV park serving simply as a convenient place to park the rig while exploring the sights in the area or resting up from previous touring. Of course, as in many things in life, there are an infinite number of gray areas where the two concepts overlap. The reality is that "camping" or "RV'ing" are simply labels that we can apply pretty much any way we see fit for our own situations. Is "camping" the goal for you? Or is it "RV'ing" you enjoy the most...

We used to camp years and years ago. Tents, back of a station wagon, a small camp trailer, back of a boat, home made campers from step vans and finally a small MH. Campfires, motorcycles, dune buggys etc. circle the campers around the campfire, looking forward to long weekends to camp.
For the last 8 years we RV. We live in the camper (MH) but we don't do weekends, boats, motorcycles, etc. And we absolutely don't do campfires...campfire smoke just stinks and we have to live with that stink for a much longer time than campers do. As an RVer, we like full hookups but we don't mind boondocking now and then because the MH has made that very easy to do.

That could have been me. :)

I'm quick to assert that we RV, we don't camp. And it's simply the way I feel about it, many other people feel that anytime you're sleeping in your trailer, 5th wheel, or any RV you're camping. In my mind camping is tent, sleeping bag, etc. I may park my toyhauler at a campground, but I'm RV'ing in my mind. I have a bed, a shower, oven, stove, furniture, refrigerator, TV, and, to me, that is not camping that's RV'ing. We use our toyhauler to bring our motorcycles along so we can ride the roads in the area, so where we stay is pretty immaterial. We don't do campfires either. :)

Just different strokes for different folks. :)
