My wife and I have camped for years. Bought a small A-Liner type camper (actually a Chalet) a few years back because tents were just getting to be too much. Love it as it tows with a Honda CRV, folds flat so you can see over it , has stove,fridge heater etc., all can work off of propane. I'm retired now and we're buying a Casita to travel for longer periods. When you camp, you're usually in the nicest parts of the area, you sleep in your own bed and cook for yourselves. I hate hotels, most of them won't even allow you to open a window so you're bombarded with ac noise or heater fans that keep you up. Cheap hotels have hygiene concerns, chemical cleaners, maybe bed bugs -uggg!
Everytime we camp, I rise early and go for a 2-3 hour ride. Get back and cook late morning breakfast/lunch. Do something with the wife for the afternoon, cook dinner, drink beer/wine while listening to the radio and collapse early, repeat. We try to stay at State Campgrounds, cleaner and cheaper. Beware though as its a popular activity and reservations are often needed, especially during the summer. If you decide to buy a trailer, you can find something for a few thousand dollars to try for a few years untill you decide if its for you. Our bikes ride either on the roof of our CRV or in the bed of my truck, although a single road bike with wheels off will fit in the folded down camper. Go for it, its cheaper, better sleeping, no fast food/restaurants, campgrounds usually have showers and baths to clean up. Whats not to like?
