Nice Product Placement NüCamp!!

I'm an opportunist when it comes to camping and many times have "camped by the seat of my pants" if you will in that when traveling long distances alone I normally drive until I find a suitable destination after fatigue sets in and I'm ready to pull over for the night.  I've camped in some remote national forest campground areas (that did work and required some additional miles behind the wheel), have spent the night in Walmart parking lots when I could find no suitable campground and parked and camped behind large major hotel complexes to rest and rejuvenate for the next days journey.  As a rule I normally don't sleep in rest areas for safety reasons and because they are noisy/busy, but since owning a T@B I do feel more secure in some of these spots and have done so as a last resort.  

As most campers have found out when traveling long distances across the US and Canada there is what I call the difficult zones in-between, those areas where there really are no campsites or camping areas (in rural America, etc.) available and at these times you have to do what you have to do in an effort to stay safe and at the same time, get some rest in the best spot available.   Some revert to stealth camping and I have done this before as well, but in these hit and miss times I have opted for a Walmart parking lot or stayed at a KOA which I agree, they can be expensive and normally would not be my first pick.  And like Photomom, I have stayed in some nice KOA's in my time, they were well maintained and I have placed them in the memory bank for future use if needed.   Convenience is definitely there and that's what I look for, along with a hot shower, quiet campground and a place where you and your family feel safe and secure.  

I've stayed a few times out at the KOA in West Yellowstone, used it as a base camp of sorts when exploring Yellowstone NP and it worked out great.  I drove up from Helena, Montana about 5 years ago, took a rock to my stargazer window in a 5-wide LG trailer and noticed it after reserving a site at the West Yellowstone KOA.
The folks there were very generous, hooked me up with their maintenance guy and he helped me clean up the tempered glass that had shattered and was strewn inside the trailer.  He also helped me fabricate a temporary window covering  using clear plastic fabric and duct tape and this allowed me to continue my trip and make it back to Michigan, even after I'd run through a few storms along the way.  And while camped at Devil's Tower NP in their campground I was able to borrow some tools from the maintenance man at the nearby KOA (he handed them to me and drove off), who thought nothing of helping out a complete stranger.  That to me says a lot about not only the organization, but people in general and their inner ability to reach out and help others when in need.  This is what makes traveling, exploring new roads, creating adventures/memories and taking some risk therein more appealing for me personally.  The reward is certainly there for the taking and the new friends and acquaintances you make along the trail also makes it fun and alluring.  I'm looking forward to uCamp17 and having some fun and meeting many of you!
