The Least Popular Vacation Is to Go Camping

I have no idea what is wrong with camping. Unless you are staying in a tent. I hate tents. Which is the quintessential form of camping. We've moved on, by now the tent is for your kids to destroy in the backyard. Buy a used camper. I digress.

A new survey had people rank different types of vacations, and camping came in dead last for both men and women.

Both genders picked the beach as the best type of vacation.  For women, going to a national park came in second.  And for men, going to a new city came in second.

I would love to just pull the camper into a KOA near the beach, unload the kids and have a blast. Without the problems my family always had when I was a kid though. I was raised on campers and Chryslers. The campers were always heavy and Chryslers were always overheating. Nothing like taking twice as long to get to the campgrounds because we had to pull over to let the Newport blow off some steam and cool down. Then Dad would fill it back up with windshield washer fluid bottles full of water we filled up at home for that very purpose. You know, adding weight to the car:

The survey also found our biggest pet peeve when we travel is being next to someone noisy in a hotel. With your trusty camper, you can park your "hotel room" as far away from noisy neighbors as the campground can provide!

Number two is getting stuck in a traffic jam. The majority of men would rather deal with turbulence than sit next to a crying baby on a plane, the majority of women would rather sit next to the baby.
