Default What kind of camping is your favorite?
I know we have a lot of campers here and all different kinds and types. But was just wondering if you had to pick just one kind you could do, which would it be? Tent? Pop Up? Trailer/Bus...Backpacking? Which is your most favorite?

Backpacking with me and the stars! My wife thinks a hotel is the best type of camping. I'm hoping to get her to change her mind soon though. I do things that she enjoys and she will have to do things I enjoy.

We have a travel trailer that we take sometimes but we also like to tent camp. I think it really depends on where we want to go. If it is hard to get the trailer there and more in the woods, it's the tent for us. But, if we decide to go to a nice RV Park, then we'll take the travel trailer.

It's all good, as long as you can get away from the crowds. Mostly backpacking, but I do know of a few old USFS campgrounds (complete with tables, fire pits and pit latrines) that even the rangers have forgotten about that can be driven to. But I still wouldn't take a trailer in to them, which is why they have been forgotten. But it still takes a backpack to get to the class 5 views and to where even the horses can't go.

We do both camping in the 5th wheel and tent also.

I enjoy backpacking and canoe camping. Not crazy about campgrounds other than as a cheap place to stay.

a very light pack, a very long walk, and a fantastic view in the morning.

Backpacking away from where other people are. In the woods near a body of water if possible.
