My SO and I go camping every year. We have no use for an RV, preferring to be outdoors (to me, the whole point of camping). And we don't like a lot of company so we go to very remote places. However, we live well while camping. We do sleep in a tent but we have a great system in it, using a number of comforters and sleeping bags to make a deep, cozy bed. We have a beautiful gas camp stove and probably eat better than most people do at home. We have a solar shower, comfortable camp chairs, a full bar, many lanterns for some evening ambience and we always bring games and books.

We don't use a porta john but we do have one in case we have finicky company. Camping is not necessarily about living rough - it's about living outdoors and enjoying nature. You can do that and still have creature comforts.

There's nothing wrong with RV camping and there's nothing wrong with campgrounds. When my kids were young, we camped at campgrounds all the time and it was fun - we usually made friends with some of our neighbors and met some nice people that way.

If you go, have a good time. We're going to our favorite spot this coming weekend. :hi:
