Truthfully, Is RV'in becoming less enjoyable

We started RVing in 1987. We often observe how much more crowded the RV parks are these days. We always did some late winter camping at the big campgrounds at Myrtle Beach. In those days you could get front row and have half the campground to yourself. Most of the people that were there chose sites near the heated pools N such. Now, the RV parks are well attended all year and the RVs are far nicer than the average then. None of this should be taken as a complaint. I'm glad people are out enjoying life. The down side is that these days some campgrounds are pretty close to sold out for full hookups months or a year in advance. We have learned in our Christmas stop to get reservations in June. There are mountain campgrounds that are sold out for Memorial Day and labor Day a year in advance. Back in the day you could just strike out with your RV and go in any direction and find a campsite. That was really fun. These days you better make reservations or risk getting your feelings hurt.

When I get old(er) I'm going to get a big, plain, white van and build a camper. I want it to look like a construction or service van. Then I can camp anyplace I find an open parking space. I can go whichever way I decide to go.
