Geez, I've NEVER worried about camping in a campground! It's camping out in the bush that worries me.

I don't carry chairs - having to bring a decoy chair in addition to one for me that I wouldn't use would really clutter my space!

I did refrain from putting various cool gender-revealing bumper stickers on my van - didn't want to attract unnecessary attention. Alas...
