depressingly it's very very popular (at least here in sweden) to go """"camping"""" at what is basically trailer parks but for house cars (not literal mobile homes) where you stay a couple of nights at a time at most.
It just feels like the typical suburban mindset really.
In the US those are "RV Parks". They're pretty good if you you're traveling with kids and want to give them the opportunity to meet other kids and play with whatever amenities the park has. Camping in a state or national park is better if you want to more space and a more natural experience. Areas in some nattional forests are available to camp in for free as long as you don't stay in the same place for more than a week and clean up after yourself.
I never understood it. Just go sleep in the RV in your driveway, why drive it a few hours to pay to park in someone else's multi-car driveway?
because it's next to the ocean, or somesuch
i have to assume that these places are mostly used by people out on a roadtrip, because the idea of someone who lives nearby taking their housecar there instead of just renting a cabin is very sad..
It wouldn't be worth the effort. You only take it if you intend to spend the night away and if it's 3+ hours away, you start considering it.
Also cabins are expensive as well. If you already the house car, it could very well be cheaper than renting the cabin. plus it's likely already packed with your stuff.
i'm not talking large cabins, i'm talking about cabins that have about as much space as a housecar, and those are cheap enough that i've stayed in one with my not particularly rich parents.
We have this shit in Canada, too. Millions of square kilometers of wilderness, and people camp on top of each other and run their generators for the air conditioning and TV in their $250,000 RV they use 2 weekends out of the year.
Fucking weirdos.
The Society of the Spectacle talks about how this phenomenon fits into larger societal pathologies.
