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.

Doubtful by the way you put it and those who enjoy it down. It does take
a special type of person, one who isn't afraid of a little inconvenience
to be able to discover fascinating places, flora and fauna. And trust
me, no one out camping wants someone at their campsite whining and
moaning about not having a heated toilet seat.
