I'm in my 40's so tent camping is still fun but you can't beat having ac or heat. Cooking on a stove and a comfortable bed. Even watching tv at night. Then again in a tent you get the sounds and smells and it's just a more natural way to camp. What are your thoughts? Here in Minnesota it's almost camping season.

I really like pop-up trailer camping; it is somewhere in between the two. Put me in a pop-up any day.

I think that would be up to you… If you want the more "camping" feel go for the tent… But if you want AC and the nice bed I suggest the RV.

Tent unless it is a long camping trip then my back screams for the RV. We don't camp anymore due to health reasons but when we used to go it was almost always tent camping.

I have not camped in many years and as a teen we would camp in tents.
Now that I am in my 50s I do enjoy the outdoors but at the end of the day I want my luxuries like a shower, A/C and splash of bourbon or rum as the sun is setting. I love to swim in the ocean or in a lake and I can go all day being dirty and full of fish blood but at the end of the day I want to be clean and comfortable. I would go for the Rv.

I'm in my 30's and we still camp both ways. I like to have the trailer for the longer trips (a week plus) because it's more comfortable and I enjoy the luxuries (coffee maker!). For weekend trips we have no problem tenting and also like to back pack into sites. I like privacy and it's hard to get that at trailer sites.

Tents here. Although we now find campsites with electrical outlets. Kind of ruins the ambience when you have to hook up a CPAP machine...
We'd get a small RV if we had money. |

Put me down for a decked out RV. Tents were decades ago.

Um, yes I am very opinionated. Frankly I don't see the point of even leaving home if you are in an RV or trailer. I don't get it. Definitely a tent for me and as far away from a road as possible. No electricity, no shower. Actual roughing it.I admit though my days of packing it in on my back or stowing it in my kayak are now behind me.

 If it is hot at night, I would prefer an RV. The camping I did in my youth (with friends) was in a tent. Most of the time, it was freezing at night (elevations between 5800 and 8000 feet) and we fell asleep in front of a roaring campfire (back and butt cold, face intensely hot). Sometimes the dying fire would make it colder and it would prompt someone to add some logs. Tents were mostly used to get out of the rain, dressing, storing things, etc. During times camping with my parents, it was in a 5th wheel---if they would have given me a tent, I would have gladly slept there alone! When we (H and friends) camped in Mexico, we pitched a tent right on the ocean but stayed at a campground with shower facilities. The desert there was cold (or at least comfortably cool) at night and blazing hot in the day. That campground was next to a Mexican Cantina with live music during the busy season (springtime). The place was a ghost town during the summer--as hot and barren as Death Valley and the ocean was quite warm in the summertime.

We went camping with a group last summer. Imagine my horror when someone doused a bunch of logs with gasoline and tossed in a match. Fwooomph!

Tent with an air mattress for my back is perfect.

Tent most of the time but on a rare occasion i'll get a cabin at one of the lakes that is more wooded because it's easier than trying to find a spot to put the tent where everyone will be good.
