Every summer thousands of us pack up our RVs or the trailer and head off to the campground. When you get there you back into your site and plug into electricity. To each their own, but in my opinion this seems to defeat the whole purpose.
If you want to feel true exhilaration of camping and see some of the many wonders nature has to offer, I suggest you try camping in the rough. It is a good idea to be familiar with the area to avoid potentially getting lost, and always let someone know your destination and expected time of return.
It is enjoyable to go along a waterway where a canoe or kayak may be used. The camper can store extra supplies and make pretty good time. A few basic essentials is all you need for a weekend of relaxation and solitude. My suggestion would be a small pup tent, a tarp in case of rain, or on a mild summer night you can make due with only a sleeping bag.
I always take along my fishing pole in case I want to include trout for a meal. Make sure you have a frying pan and a pot to boil water. Lots of food brought from home can be easily prepared over a campfire. Camping this way may not be for everyone that's for sure! When camping in the rough you only need what a two to three day journey would use. The only piece of modern day equipment worth taking would be a camera.
Camping in the rough may not seem like something you may want to do, but if it seems like it is, give it a try. There are no traffic jams or other motorists to be wary of, no noise. It just may be the first of many great camping trips for you.
