R.V.'s and Travel Trailers are nice. At times. But you can not bring it to primitive camping! Which is my favorite type of camping.

Today, everyone has their own RVs. When it's hot, they all huddle up in each RV and play games, watch DVDs, and talk... that's pretty much it.

In the old days, a lot of them went fishing early in the morning.

Today, no one has a fishing boat. They now have boats for skiing, tubing, etc.

*sighs* Times have changed.

I agree.

In a way it's nice to have a traveling trailer or an RV for a camp outing but it is not exactly the way camping is supposed to be because the purpose of a camping is to enjoy the natures/outdoor stuffs.

Sure, it is a comfort to have a traveling trailer/camper/RV to sleep in but what does not kill you won't kill you - even if there are bugs out there to make an attack, lol.

The only true fittest form to camping is to have nothing but just your sleeping bag and whatever is in your backpack to go out on a hike. It's the best survival at it's fittest.

Amen to that!

To me R.V.s and Campers are like hotels!

I do like camping, have been camping at a island in Columbia River between Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon, a forest area in Spokane, also area near The Dalles, Oregon, and at Long Beach Peninsula.

I love to bring a candle in the tent, it make me feel relax inside the tent rather than the flashlights and I love to burn the marshallows at the fireplace.

I don't mind the RV part, but it's the hot and humid summer that does get to me sometimes. If it was when it was a bit cooler, then I might enjoy it more.

My Dad and stepmom has a RV.... they would drag me and my stepsisters to go camping with them and we (me and my stepsisters) would dread it... we would complain and so on as we *hate* camping. My twin stepsisters and I share a bedroom... it has triple bunks... I would sleep in the middle while Ryann would sleep on the top since she's the smallest and Sara would sleep the bottom since she's the tallest/biggest. Also we have TV in our bedroom in RV. All day long, three of us would just lay in our bunks and watch movies.... we don't dare to go out and do camping stuff. our parents had enough that they kicked us out during the day, forcing us to stay outside during the day, to do camp stuff such as hiking and so on. I would either go swimming at Camp park or read books in the chair by the fire during the day. My stepsisters would either tan in the sun by the fire or go swimming like I do... or even try to catch good looking guys. Every summer for five years, our parents would drag us to camping in RV about four to five times during the summer. Also Dad would take us to far away campsites that can be up to six hours away... driving there and back is always horrible as Dad has Tahoe and there's only five seats, meaning my twin stepsisters and I have to sit all together in the backseat, not really having any room or privacy. We sometimes would get into fights as we get on each other's nerves.

Seriously? Can you ask him to get a bigger RV or car so everyone has some space instead of being cramped for 6 hours. I remember moving an apartment into a car and I was stuck in the front seat with 3 comforters in it. That was the worst 6 hours of my life as I couldn't move for days afterwards.

dreama, so cool, vegan camp

I also volunteered once for a week going camping in cabins with camp held for kids with spina bifida and other physical mobility issues.

I just came back from a week of camping. It was really nice and relaxing! Could have done without the number of miserable days we had though.
