As my patience for camping wanes, I realize there are just fewer gorgeous places I will get to experience. One of my kids insisted on camping last summer for a night I would have taken a hotel. We saw such beautiful old growth trees, beachside forest, glitteringly colored mushrooms and tiny salamanders in rocky moss beds. I was uncomfortable much of the night but it was worth it. Barring disabilities, it’s a choice.
The crowds are a disappointment, it’s true, but we are the crowds.
No one is asking for nature on a plate. It’s just pointing out the fact that camping with tons of mosquitoes, potentially in 90+ degree weather, eating off dirty dishes and pans, barely being able to shower, being forced to use horrendously dirty bathrooms to poop or being forced to dig a hole and poop in the ground, or potentially being forced to stay outside in torrential rainfalls if you get t boned by Mother Nature is really a garbage idea for a ‘vacation’. Yeah, have fun doing WORK on vacation and pooping in a vile facility where 200 other people use the same toilet everyday.
Awful. And the only other option is to get ripped off for $500 per night at 1 star facilities around the parks. Traveling in the US is a joke.
You sound more and more ridiculous with each additional post. Yes, some of us actually like camping. As in, enjoy it. Do it voluntarily. You don’t. Fine. Open your mind to the fact that not everyone is like you.

Right, and you’re on a travel forum so you’re above looking anything up related to travel on the internet

Yes, the irony is not lost on a few of us
