If you go to a campground, you've usually got the choice of a
'tent' site (no amenities) or an RV
site which would have electricity, water, and sewage (about half
the time). You'd never need sewage
with a tent, but water and electricity are nice to have on cold
and hot days. A little office heater
will do you nicely in a big tent. We never had an electric heater
while tenting, even in Europe with
snow on the tent. The lantern gets it warm, and sleeping bags keep
you warm.

Here's a nice place. Charges $5 more for water and electricity
(well worth it). Even has a launch
ramp to the ocean, so you could take the boat.

If we ever drag the 5er to Nova Scotia, we'd stay there.

The last time I was "camping" I was actually sleeping in my truck and
they put me at an unimproved site right next to the three with power
that my buddies had turned into a bedouin resort.
I ran a cord over to run my fan and a light

One time in Montana, on a hike I camped next to a sheepherder with his
mule drawn wagon. Great night talking to him over the campfire! I've
not
had that type of experience at city hotels.



Last time I was in Banff at Lake Louise, we roughed it by camping at:

It had a different name back then, but it was a pretty decent place to
camp. They delivered seared Atlantic salmon and shrimp to our RV room.

Too bad you'll never experience real camping, meeting people like I
have.

I have experienced real camping.

What is real camping? I need to know if, when we camp, it is real.

No tent, no sleeping bag, no matches, and no selfstarting briquettes, no water (except the creek out
back), no toilets...just you and your pack. Oh, and maybe some friendly sheep. Real friendly.
