Sadly, this is becoming more and more true. But it isn't actually camping - it is how they live.

Go to any federal/state/municipal campground and you will find families (with children) who are living there. A lot of elderly, too. They may move from site to site or location to location depending on availability but they have no other place to go. It's especially prevalent in warm or moderate weather locales.

As housing and rental costs rise so have the number of people living in campgrounds.

My sister lives at campsites. She works in a very high cost of living area (Aspen). So she can either have a roommate, live an hour from work and have a hell of a commute, or live in her camper at one of the many amazing campgrounds in the Rocky Mountain area.
She makes $75k year (radiology technician), and cannot afford rent (one bedroom apartment) in Aspen as a 50 year old college educated woman with a full time professional job. Sad. But she absolutely loves the freedom of living in a camper. [/quote]
