Camping = Booze, weed, campfire, no sounds of the city, and one hell of a playground for the kids.
Its all what you make of it. Throw some tuna steaks on the hot coals and pull a few shots of Earlytimes whiskey when the kid goes down.
I do agree that in a field with rednecks throwing toilet seat covers and calling it horseshoes is not camping.
I used to go camping with the family when I was kid. 2 or 3 days in a cabin etc.
I had no idea what camping really was until my brother took me on a 2 week trip to Boundary Waters a couple years ago. I don't think I have ever felt so in/out of place as I did there. 23 mile canoe trip to campsite. No cell phone, no fast food, no motors. Just what you fit in your canoe and are willing/able to carry on the portages. It was truly incredible. I cannot wait to go for another trip.

I "camped" alot when I was a child. Best time was living in a 16ft trailer on a Pot Farm in Mendicino county. All the pot heads know where I mean.
Also lived on the upper west coast (Redwood area) in the same fashion.
Nothing like digging a hole to shit in, and worrying about bears and wild boars when you go out for your morning piss.
And you know what, I would do it again!
Stayed a bit of time during summers camped out at a lake near town, and it just was not the same.
Give me the campgrounds where you can get lost in the woods if you look for a fresh place to shit anyday. The Good Sams with 39 foot campers are not camping.
Shit, camping is too fun. Hanging out, drinking beers, shooting guns, smoking, relaxing, cooking over a fire, shooting the shit. Its not like not taking a shower for a few days is going to ruin my whole trip.

I feel you BC. When I was younger, we were so poor, me and my brothers had to suck each other off, just so we would have something warm in our stomach.
