For family camping, the use of recreational vehicles or RVs can get rid of the feeling of discomfort. It can also make people give you nasty looks for being a gas guzzler helping to continue our reliance on oil from places like Iraqu. Since RVs are just wheeled houses, you don't have to worry of setting up camps in inaccessible areas and be stuck with dilemmas like bad weather or threat of crawling creatures at night, or the lack of amenities around you. You are really bringing a house with you. But for some, camping isn't "camping" unless you deal with the real outdoor adventure that goes with it. When you speak of outdoor adventures, the nearby comforts aren't there. Hassles are plenty, but that's part of the whole fun. The tent experience, the randomness of it, the nights directly below the stars is just part of the real outdoor camping experience. Camping could be done in different ways, depending on your personality.
