Who knows what lurks in that next canyon or over that next hill. My job fed that in spades and since I retired nothing has changed. So that reflects my camping, too. I’m always attracted to places I haven’t been and the rougher and more remote the better.
Needless to say I don’t camp in RV parks or commercial parks; they’re too much like the city. I don’t camp in state parks, either; they’re a bit too developed for my taste. Most of my camping is in national forest campgrounds though I prefer the less developed ones. I also do a lot of boondocking, like Utah, Arizona provides a lot of opportunities for that.
Between my job, and 50 years of hunting and camping trips there isn’t a lot of territory in AZ I haven’t been in so I’m tending to gravitate your way and to southern Colorado for my shorter trips. I’m hoping to get up that way in September-October when the temps are more tolerable.
