Now this is camping!

On our trip to the great North country we stayed 3 nights in a tent.  Now this isn't what you are thinking.  It was a large, comfortable tent with springs and a mattress, queen size.  It had an electric light and a fan, and lots of zip-down windows. As you can see, it was elevated on a concrete slab, so the floor stayed clean.  There were two chairs on the "porch" and places to hang clothes, and flashlights inside.

The only small drawback was the 50m walk to the "ablution" block- what we call toilets and showers.  The ablution block was modern and clean, with nice showers.  We were just about the only ones there.  What's not to like?

Nearby, and for a good bit more money, you could rent a tent with an inside bathroom and a small kitchen.   I think this is a great concept for popular spots around the USA.  KOA campground could probably create a good business, even among those carrying tents.  There is no hassle in the dark or in  the rain, in setting up or taking down a tent that belongs to the campground.  They could likely make 2 or 3 times the money from these sites.  But... what do I know?

We have good ideas, but they aren't always the best.

Proverbs 16:25 warns us, "There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death."
