I also pondered that as more and more Class A only luxury camp grounds spring up, expectations among the boomers will be that of "glamping" rather than the rustic stays in National and State Parks. Boondocking will become an "experience" and not a form of camping. So I think camping, excuse me, RV'ing will continue to be around in the future, but it will not necessarily be camping as we know it today.

Go observation MM !
RV'ing is going down the same path that boating has.
Just a you mentioned, as a kid we just patched up an abandoned wooden boat and launched it into the East River and we were boating. Now you need a 6 figure income to own a boat or even get close to the water.
