    I haven't because I'm always too drunk to leave the camp site.:hungover:

    I don't enjoy camping, so I've never done it.

    However, even if I did - I still wouldn't do it.

    There is *zero* security at a campsite, and a whole lot of dirt. It's not exactly the sort of environment where I would want to handle my rare coins.

    No but it sounds interesting. Not a concert but a coin show groupie. Criss cross the country in a camper following the coin shows. Like a bucket list thing. Bring a lot of food and cash! ;)

    No dirt @physics-fan3.14 ! :happy:

    Jason, some of these RV parks are like resorts. Good folks, common people........but I do understand your apprehension.

    I understand that there are loads of good people in a campsite. However, it only takes one bad apple.

    An RV would eliminate the dirt problem, but that's not really "camping." When you say camping, I think a tent on the hard ground with a stick poking in your back.

    After the Marine Corps I thought about camping out. I laughed about it then I forgot about it!

    I also wouldn't do it. Hotel rooms are bad enough in terms of security; camp sites (even resort-like RV parks) are worse!

    I've never tried it, but I love camping and I love coin shows. I'd happily do it (I will when I'm older and retired at least). I do know a couple who travels around the US and one of them collects coins.

    My idea of "camping" is Marriott, Holiday Inn etc.... indoor plumbing a must and a pancake or waffle making machine :)

    Camping and coin shows, my two favorite activities. Never did them at the same time tho.

    If I was single, without kids.... I'd probably live in an RV traveling from show to shining show.

    I was a Boy Scout in East Texas. After that, I decided camping out consisted of a decent hotel room. :cool:

    There's a reason why deer hunters always go out first thing in the morning - if you're in camp, it's the only time you approach sobriety. :)
