K is for Kampgrounds - yes, I know it's spelled wrong, but I had to include it
Although spelled wrong, I had to include Kampgrounds in this story of our journey, because they're such an integral part of our everyday life. So, please put your internal editor away and forgive me my trespasses.
A Kampground can make or break a trip. Kampgrounds vary from a primitive site that allows tents only with no amenities in sight all the way to the luxury resorts that have every possible amenity you can think of - hot tubs, waterfalls, spas , landscaped gardens. And the cost of Kampgrounds can fall into those varieties.
Our travels usually take us somewhere in the middle. We do like the natural Kampgrounds, but every once in a while we like to splurge as well.
When we bought Louis, we knew at 43 feet, that we wouldn't be able to fit into many state parks. That was a trade off we made. We're also pretty adamant about having either a gravel or paved road for Louis to sit on. Getting stuck in the mud after rains isn't our idea of a good time.
Boondocking is another type of Kamping. Boondocking can run the gamut of being in the middle of nowhere, in nature to parking at Wal-Mart. Either way, boondocking means no hook ups - no electric or water or sewer. That's doable for us in short spurts. We have water tanks and we have some solar, as well as a generator, so as long as we don't have to run the air conditioner, we could boondock for a couple of days. Just not at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is strictly overnight.
