Is this camping?

There are Campground, RV parks and Trailer parks, usually a facility is all 3

Camping: Tent or small trailer moved often

RV park: Bigger trailer/motor home moved often

Trailer park: Stay a while (like six moths to several years)

We don't camp. Have no desire to camp, got my fill of camping while in Army.

We take our hotel on wheels and travel as tourists not campers.

Those enjoying camping, bless them. We others just want ac and hot water and tv and beds.

When in Scouts, we used a tent..

In the Army, used a tent or foxhole, and sometimes caught a nap in an ole M-48 Tank... Scenery was mostly in the woods
or out in the Desert..

In the Navy, got to stay in a bed/cot that were suspended by chains, several
stacked in a tier about 4 high and we changed scenery often..

learned a better way, RV's.. Now I consider it roughing it, if I go to sleep
in my outdoor lounge chair close to the firepit with a cool drink..

Never bothered me about what anyone else thought about the way I camped or RV'd and could care less about what anyone wants to call it.. Camping or RVing, it's all great as long as I sleeping off the dirt and not under it..

Campgrounds, RV Parks, Resorts, or Dry Camping/overnighting, all work for me
at various times, when I get the itch to stay there... Got the tent and backpacking outa my system in the time spent in the Army and Scouts..

Up here our season is very short (2-3 months), and using an enclosed "car port" around the trailer, lengthens the season.

We camp from May through October. By my math that is six months. (Maybe five if weather sux)

No, it looks like 'living in an RV park.'

It's theirs, they can call it anything they want to, I'll do the same, I call what I do camping, even though I know that technically, it's RV'ing, I gladly gave up camping when I got rid of the tent. ;)

I hear ya. Same here. I still enjoy occasional tent camping, but I have no shame in admitting that these days if I am going to camp in a tent I need good weather. The bones are not as forgiving as they once were in a tent when it is too cold out and no air mattress is as comfortable as my bed in the TT.

Its all up for interpretation. I would call it camping if they are just seasonal. Camping doesn't imply traveling. If theres a lake or resort ect and sites intended for camping units, tents TC tt or 5er's then its a campground and if I put my tent there for 4 months then I am camping. If the wife gets mad at me and throws my clothes out on the front lawn and I take them to the back yard where the 5er is parked and I sleep in it for several days in my back yard til I find other arrangements , I am camping, so it all left up for intepetation.

I started "camping" in the 50's, when dad took us to a camp deep in the Maine woods, "Camp" was a log cabin with a frame attachment - and no indoor plumbing or electricity. We had to hike a mile and row a mile to get there. We were definitely camping - and the native trout tasted great!
