How did you meet your camping friends?
Besides family members, how did you meet the people you get together to camp with? Like they always say, the more the merrier and that includes camping friends.

I camp with friends from college dorms (40 years ago). We camped then and get together a couple times a year and camp now. I've also camped with family members and neighbors.
I also like camping alone. I like unusual places-not necessarily the most scenic or tourist oriented. Drag someone along and I'd probably hear "what the heck is this?" An example would be night in the desert summer just to see the stars.
My suggestion for the post above to meet 30 or 40 somethings- I'd frequently weekend camp in local campgrounds near your residence. Public campgrounds tend to have younger visitors. Make the rounds and try to strike up a conversation. Invite for campfire-a glass of wine or drink if you're so inclined. Also in your neighborhood look for other younger people with RVs. At least the RV is a conversation opener. In my neighborhood there is a cluster of homes with RVs/toyhaulers owned by 40 year olds. Don't know them personally but they may have become friends before all getting into the RVs.
