Never enjoyed the "JOYS" of camping. Sleeping on the ground, under a flapping tent is NOT fun. Cheap motels (Are there any still?), wth an outdoor pool, hot showers, and proximity to places to eat, sounds about right to me, then and NOW. Too damn old to NOT pamper myself.
Same here, although Sweetums loves it. I've done my share of camping, including a week kayaking on Murtle Lake and a week on Morice Lake, both in the last decade. But nowadays I like my indoor biffy because I get up at least twice during the night to pee and don't want the hassle of fighting with a tent zipper, particularly if it's raining. I guess there's the option of peeing into a bottle and dumping it in the morning, assuming I don't roll over in the middle of the night and tip it all over my sleeping bag.
All of our camping nowadays is with our RV. We drive to a camping spot, get the bicycles out for some trail riding and then camp overnight. Rinse and repeat.
