"Your misuse of the word "camping" is grin-able."
Seems to me there is a new word commonly used to describe what the Johnny and his ilk do.
Believe it's called glaming or something like it. To call what he does
'camping' is an insult to real campers everywhere.
Well, the modern definition is loose enough to cover RV'ing, but
traditional campers must laugh at the sight of all those air-conditioned
portable plastic and aluminum motel rooms on wheels.
Maybe. . . At least until it rains.
Based on the camping people I've known over the years many of those who
enjoy "traditional" camping end up trading in their tents for a pop-up,
then a Travel Trailer or a Class C RV and then to a fifth wheel trailer
or Class A RV. . sorta like having two foot-itist in boating.
Once you get up into that class, 1st class air fare and a suite at the
Marriott starts looking cheap unless you are gone a lot.
Since beginning of March, we've been out at least two weekends each month and a
couple 7-10 trips. Next week we spend four days at Solomons, then straight to
Tennessee for a week. Then things slow down.
I'd say we're getting some good use out of it.

Wow...four days at Solomons Island. What an adventure! Watch out for the
drunks.
