1. The Wilderness Camper
  • Wants: isolation, nature, zero people
  • No hookups, no noise
  • Think: national forest, BLM land
“If I can see another RV, I’m too close.”


2. The Rustic Camper
  • Wants: nature with a few basics
  • State parks, no sewer, maybe electric
“I like trees… but I also like bathrooms.”


3. The RV Park Camper
  • Wants: hookups, level site, predictable stay
  • KOA-type parks
“Just make it easy.”


4. The Resort Camper
  • Wants: full hookups + amenities
  • Pools, pickleball, clubhouse
“Camping… but nicer than my house.”


5. The Peace & Quiet Camper
  • Wants: calm, adult vibe, no chaos
  • Reads books, sips coffee in the morning, bourbon in the evening, listens to birds
“I came here to unwind, not supervise recess.”


6. The Family Camper
  • Wants: activities, kid-friendly environment
  • Noise is part of the package
“If the kids are exhausted, it was a good day.”


7. The Boondocker
  • Wants: free camping, self-sufficient
  • Solar, tanks, off-grid mindset
“Hookups are for amateurs.”


8. The Big Rig Traveler
  • Wants: easy access, wide turns, long pads
  • Planning routes like a trucker
“If I can’t swing it, I’m not going.”


9. The Traveler / Stopover Camper
  • Wants: one night, easy in/out
  • Not there for the experience
“I just need a place to land.”


10. The Seasonal Camper
  • Wants: semi-permanent setup
  • Comes back every year
“This is basically my second home.”


11. The Activity Camper
Camping is secondary to:
  • Fishing
  • Hiking
  • Biking
“The RV is just base camp.”


12. The Remote Worker Camper
  • Wants: strong WiFi, quiet, comfort
“Zoom call at 9, hike at 5.”


13. The Pet-Centric Camper
Picks sites based on:
  • Dog space
  • Walkability
“The dog approves, we stay.”


14. The Social Camper
  • Wants: interaction, campfires, neighbors
“Met 6 new friends before dinner.”


15. The Privacy Camper
  • Wants: spacing, trees, separation
“I don’t want to hear you breathe.”
 
Hmmm.....3,4,9,13,14.....is what I used to be! Since I no longer have the "RV", I guess none of the above!

BUT....I can tell you one thing....maybe two.....DEER SPRINGS is a special RV park for any and all!
JIM & TRISH are the finest hosts that we encountered in our over 8 years of RV travel!
Marilyn & I enjoyed the times We got to spend there, and looked forward to "Wine" & a "Margarita" , each evening, and the shared times and fun We had with Jim & Trish, while there!!
Miss seeing you guys!
 
I guess I am 11 ! I think thats what all ToyHauler owners are :)
 
In the spirit of the question I would say we are a #3, mostly b/c of my wife. I lean more towards #2.
 
1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 would match our RVing profile. Occasionaly 1, 3 and 7 are enjoyed using our rooftop tent on a Jeep JK or Cherokee Trailhawk.
