I guess that camping, or "RVing" has become so popular that reservations are almost required at most popular parks. I have been camping, I mean with a tarp over a rope between two trees and on the hard, cold ground, with no electricity nor flush facilities in sight, since I was 5 yrs old. I'm now 68 and have a B with a nice mattress and micro wave, but still love the outdoors.
My issue is that there are many parks we'd like to visit, and being retired should have the opportunity, but between family and health issues, we're not always sure exactly when we will be where. To me retirement is to go "as the breeze blows". And the other issue is that we are from the mid-west and really like to camp among trees, vs a field. We need space between camps. A hand drawn map doesn't give me the info I want.
And ain't gonna do no Wally World for a night!
