I can understand and respect not liking camping, my wife is the same way. She hates it!
The plumbing comment threw me for a loop tho. All this time I thought our forefathers fought and died for freedom of choice and tyranny. Who knew it was for indoor plumbing. Now I’m going to need to refresh myself on Amercian history. Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights here I come. Of course I’m just jerking your chain, I really do respect the position of non campers. But I think you’d look great in a hammock tent. Just think of all the great photo opportunities it would offer. ⚡️Paul⚡️

Beautiful as it is, I also wouldn't want to camp there! Actually, I wouldn't want to camp anywhere. My attitude to camping is that my ancestors fought and died for indoor plumbing, so I would be disrespecting their memory if I chose to shun it for the dubious pleasures of outdoor ablutions. I'm just about OK with those cabins that you find in a lot of state and national parks, so long as they have running water and indoor toilets and showers. The great outdoors is great, so long as you're not stuck there. :)

Mr. T you and I have different opinions on campsite selection. I’m generally very careful when selecting a site, paying attention to wind direction, nearby fire rings, looking up at the tree branches checking for widowmakers, surveying the ground for rocks, thorns and depressions.

If I was camping here I’d choose a hammock tent strung between a couple of those trees and pray a flash flood didn’t……. Actually praying wouldn’t be part of the equation because I would of studied the upcoming weather patterns knowing what is coming.
I will say this is a spectacular site one I’d love to visit when, not if we make it back to visit Jim in AZ. Those boulders are huge! Paul

I want to camp here, and lie down next to still waters. Traveller
