Sometimes I wonder about the term camping vs RVing..It used to be that a trailer was called a camp trailer and they had no toilet/no refrigerator and no battery..To go potty you went outside behind the tree and grabbed a shovel if need be.Lights were a built in propane lantern that took mantels just like your old coleman lantern and to keep food cool they had a built in ice box that operated on, go figure,just ice..These were called camp trailers not RV's.
I am not really sure when everything changed and people went RVing instead of camping.I still camp but my camper has a battery/lights and a refrigerator that runs off of propane.
I started camping on the back of a pack horse in my moms lap in the Selway-Bitteroot wilderness elk hunting.I have gone every year since but the camping modes have changed.I have my wall tent and sheepherder stove rapped up nicely in the garage and still use it from time to time but we do not have any horses left to really get away.
So I wonder also what the op asked..If I had to camp in a campground surrounded by other campers there kids/motorcycles/atv's and drunk friends..I simply would not camp.I guess I am lucky enough to be able to camp all by myself or with family where the nearest camper is miles away...
I spent most of my life living in a camper during the week working miles out of town and coming home on the weekends and I still love to camp just not so much on weekends when the drunks go camping or more like, partying..
So I guess I camp,not RV because 100% of my camping is in the mountains either fishing/hunting or just enjoying the outdoors getting firewood for the winter.
To each his own..Enjoy your version of whatever it is called in your area.
