Not a camper. Those campsites are so close together that even if you have an RV, you can hear everything. Plus everyone stays up way past my bedtime.

@AuntG   Depends....we enjoy the wild and the sound of the water....you have to be selective.  We were also selective about our RV so we can take advantage of the wilderness.  No noisy campsites for us!

A hotel is my kind of camping.  

I haven't camped since I was in Girl Scouts decades ago.  I would probably enjoy it now.

My idea of camping is Motel 6. I want a bathroom with toilet paper, a shower with hot water and a warm bed. I don't like camping with the bugs, it's either to hot or to cold etc. oh yea, I want real food too. 

[jackthebear]

the kind that doesn't

nothing appealing to me at all

my sister and her family used to do that, I need a real bathroom

The kind that likes a Holiday Inn! Use to go camping with dh and my sons when they were young. Also when they were Boy Scouts. I hated it! Once at boy scout camp in upstate NY, I slept in the car. One time at Walt Disney World, dh wanted to camp so we stayed at Fort Wilderness in one of the resort campers with maid service! That was "roughing it" enough for me! I can't  live without air conditioning!🤣

Camping isn't for me.  There are little motels in wooded lake areas, same as campgrounds...,and I can enjoy a bed and private bathroom!

Last time I camped in a tent I was in my 30s...it rained all night.  In the morning I was so stiff from sleeping in a sleeping bag....ugh!  

I know some people love it....enjoy!  The best part is sitting around the campfire at night!!

Have not camped now in quite sometime.

Oh but boy did we camp! Good times!

We were tent campers.

Some times, depending on where we were going,

we would get a screened in shelter or a small sleeping cabin.

My husband and I have also slept many nights in the bed of a truck

with an air mattress on a perfectly clear night with a bijillion stars out.

Both of our  kids grew up camping.

At parks with a lake, parks without a lake, the beach, a river... so much fun!

My son, still camps quite often.

Wilderness camper in a tent.We used to go by boat to a spot we carved out in the bush.Washed clothes in the lake and cooked on the campfire.One night I told my dh that I heard rustling in the tent.He told me it was just the wind and be quiet and go back to sleep...so I did.Awhile later I heard him yell something ran over my face..i said,Just the wind now be quiet and go back to sleep....but he didn’t.We turned on the flashlight opened the tent and two mice ran out.Lol.

Lots of wonderful areas for backpacking out here in the west.  Had to shorten the trips when the kids were too little to carry much, but were only limited by lack of food.  Adults could go more days.  

After being away for a couple of weeks, it was shocking to come back to the noise.  The tires made so much noise when we reached pavement.  Beds were odd too.  Flush toilets almost broke our eardrums!
