RVing vs. Camping: The Great Debate

There has been a long debate about whether RV camping is really camping.  After getting into camping, I really formed a strong opinion.  One thing is for sure…it’s not ‘roughing it’.  To me, camping is getting out in nature and roughing it and pitching a tent and making a campfire…camping is not crawling into your air conditioned camper and sleeping in a bed and cooking in your kitchen.  RV ‘Camping’ is more like living in a small hotel room suite on a campsite plot.

Not that I have anything against RVs, but it’s not camping to me…

Here is what some other people think…

So get out of your camper, and pitch a tent!  It’s a lot of fun – there is nothing like it…including RVing!

What do you think?

Until next time… Be tough, stay safe and get rugged!
