When/if you go camping this year, or you already have, which method do you prefer?
I love camping and I love being outside, but I absolutely do not enjoy campgrounds. Something about the commercialized, artificial "wilderness" experience campgrounds create doesn't appeal to me. They offer too much convenience and child-friendliness for an activity that should be natural and sacrificial of everyday amenities and technology. Its "camping" in the same sense that "hunting" is buying steaks at a supermarket.
Not to mention the lack of privacy, and the feeling of not being attached to nature makes me avoid campgrounds best I can, but regardless, I do what my friends want to do.
