[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't go camping by myself.  Even if I knew the campsite was packed and there would be tons of people around, I'm not sure I would depend on a stranger to help me if I was being attacked.  [/quote]

You're not depending on another stranger to save you. You're depending on the fact that its incredibly unlikely that someone will attempt to assault you with several families of campers all 30 feet away from you in an open area.

(Yes, its possible it could still happen. Just like its possible someone could attempt to rape you while you're standing in the middle of Farragut Square during lunch hour. Its just not very likely.)[/quote]

If your idea of "wilderness camping" includes being surrounded by families within 30 feet of you, what exactly would be the point of such camping? [/quote]

Not PP.  but OP wasn't talking about wilderness camping, she was talking about camping on a cross country trip in order to save money. Based on her other comments about being an inexperienced camper she almost certainly means car camping at established campgrounds.

Backcountry camping got brought in as a side thread. [/quote]
