RV Parks  Modern Camping





What happened the last time you looked at your wife and told her that you wanted to go camping? You know, real camping with sleeping bags, a tent, and a campfire to cook the meals? It probably was a look that clearly meant she thought you were an idiot. But don't give up yet; consider a compromise, such as staying in an RV park with an RV instead of the ground level accommodations you normally provide. You may be surprised at the reaction you get.

When was the last time you went camping? Most people haven't camped since they were very young, when they went with scouting troops. Most of us would never exercise on our own, so it was good to take part in hiking and survival activities. Sleeping bags and tents were once referred to as camping equipment. That doesn't even get close to what is considered modern day camping equipment.

Somewhere along the line, someone stole camping. Campers these days don't usually lay out under the stars, unless they can see them through the moon roof or whatever they call them in RVs. There is no need any longer to unpack the car, pitch the tent, go for water, and build a campfire. Just pull into an RV park with a lake, hook up for power and water, and prepare to enjoy camping 21st century style.

The word camper now usually refers to the sleeping accommodations you have at the campground, instead of the person going camping. Increased technology has even found its way into basic camping gear. If you camp with an RV, you may have some restrictions in where you can go. It is common for RV parks to require reservations instead of admitting those who just show up.

It may be the case that the elderly do not know why it could even be considered camping. Camping used to mean dealing with mosquitoes while huddling up inside a tent. It meant getting into your sleeping bag for a good night's rest, knowing that there will be an early sunrise. Of course, dont forget those rainy days spent with only the damp tent as protection. There were always wild animals to see up close and personal, but now it is possible that the modern RV parking-lots do not have any wildlife at all.

Darrin Hitchington has camped all over the state of California. After getting married and having kids, Darrin discovered the joys of camping trailers. No longer does his wife complain about sleeping on dirt with bugs. Now, they all have fun, bringing the comforts of home to the beautiful outdoors with one of Scamps lightweight travel trailers.
