As a family we went camping in all kinds of vehicles..a army tent..then we upgraded to a "modern tent" that had a mist everytime it rained. (I wanted our old army tent back.) Then we got a pop up tent camper..then a big camper that you pulled..had everything you need including air conditioning..I think my favorite was the pop up camper.
Today I would be afraid to go camping..too many nuts out there allowed to run free.
Back in the late 50's and early 60's it was nice. Not too many neighbors so you felt more like you were camping..now it's like a hotel..neighbors right next to you. You can hear them snore..
People aren't as courteous as they were then either..they didn't play their music so loud that everyone within a blocks distance can hear it. They think it's their God given right to do what ever they want.
I can see where young folks could have a ball camping now tho..especially on a float trip weekend...if they live through it..
Par-tee..
