[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don't want to camp for several reasons:
- We do not have camping equipment. We'd have to go out and invest in stuff for something we're just not interested in doing.
- In theory, camping can be fun but I just don't like it. I want a roof over my head. An actual roof, not a tent. 
- All that setup and take down, ugh. Again, PITA. 
- We are flying. We'd have to haul all that stuff with us which is a pita.

Camping isn't for everyone and that's ok.[/quote]

It is completely okay. But at the end of the day, the national parks are fundamentally about preserving uniquely beautiful wild natural landscapes. Camping goes with that more readily than a fully equipped resort building, and prices reflect that. It's an incredible gift that the national parks exists, and are accessible to anyone at the much lower price point of a tent and sleeping bag. Meanwhile, OP can fly to Iceland, which is completely and utterly out of my family's price range. But we've done multiple NPS visits![/quote]
