Until getting involved here on HF, I never thought about the fact that there are two kinds of "camping." I though everyone, like me, simply hiked through wilderness until tired and then set up camp, wth no one else for miles around. Then I heard about group hangs in campgrounds where there are cars! Oh my! As a matter of fact, I'm attending my 1st such event in Texas this weekend.
I can see that this is a different ball game when it comes to wilderness(?) management, due to the concentration of people.
I can also see that my wilderness solitude picture wouldn't work too well with the 50 people planning to attend the hang this weekend.
I suspect that the folks that set up this "campground" concept, never envisioned a swarm of hammockers descending upon them like locusts!
