Camping with Alternatives

Some people love camping and some people have a great distaste for camping. Where do you stand?

Part of why some people have a distaste for camping is because they would rather be in the French Riviera staying in one of the finest hotels on the Mediterranean. Realistically, they have to go camping or sit at home for their vacation because they can't afford it otherwise. There are those of us that love camping (and I have stayed in a campsite on the French Riviera).

Camping is a recreational activity. It's done outdoors and most of the time you have to deal with the bugs and mosquitoes. I had a guy pull into a campground with this great big motor home. He asked about the facilities, and we told him there was electricity and water hookups, a bathroom facility with showers and laundry and a sewer dump. He commented, "I guess it's pretty primitive, huh!" My idea of primitive is when you backpack into the back country for 8 hours at the end of May, set up your tent on top of 12 inches of snow and begin to cook your dinner on a cook stove.

When you plan to camp, what are your choices going to be.
