In the middle of updating fee, season, and reservation status for the 2,400-plus campgrounds on our website, ForestCamping.com, along with all getting ready to hit the road and all that life throws at ya. So much fun. Anyway, got a message from RVTravel.com, amazingly website, and he made a remark that stopped me short.
“I just love the serenity of the places (national forest campgrounds). You can “camp” in these places, not just “stay” which is the case, I thin, in most commercial RV parks.”

Here’s hoping you discover the same.

Language is an interesting thing, and we often say more about ourselves than about the comment we are making.
I agree about the serenity of the Nat. Forests. Without a doubt.
Whether “camping” and “staying” are a distinction without a difference depends an awful lot on how people think about their lives. From personal knowledge there are people who would consider either term to be the more relaxing, desired, restful state. For some “camping” is more transitory while “staying” has more of a settled-into-their-life feeling.
It’s interesting the way different folk take the same experience and stand it on it’s head.
Cheers,

People think differently, which in this case is on how they would define being out there in the forest, with nature. But whether or not people have their own concept of “camping” and “staying” it shouldn’t be a matter of issue to anyone.
