Not all campers are the same.

Some want new scenery every week.
Some return to the same spot year after year.
Some just… drift.

Where you camp—and how—says a lot about you.

So let’s have a little fun and find out: Are you a Floater, a Rooter, or a Hopper?

🌬️ The Floater

You go where the wind takes you.
No set plan, no reservation until the day-of. You love the freedom of discovering hidden gems and don’t mind a dirt road detour if it leads to something interesting.

Signs you’re a Floater:

  • You have five apps for finding last-minute spots

  • “Where are you headed?” is always answered with “Not sure yet”

  • You pack up before checkout because… why not?

  • You have flexible work, no kids in tow, and a full tank of gas

Floaters thrive on: Freedom, open schedules, spontaneous sunsets, and finding “the spot nobody knows about.”

🌱 The Rooter

You have a “home” campground—or maybe a few.
You book the same site every season, decorate it with lights, and know the rangers by name. Your RV is an extension of your cozy routine.

Signs you’re a Rooter:

  • You know which site gets the most shade

  • There’s a welcome mat outside your rig

  • You bring actual patio furniture

  • Other campers ask you for advice

Rooters love: Stability, community, local hikes, seasonal loops, and the joy of knowing what to expect.

🚐 The Hopper

You’re on the move—but with a mission.
You follow the calendar, the weather, and your bucket list. Yellowstone in May, Glacier by June, a swing through Utah by fall. You love a route.

Signs you’re a Hopper:

  • You planned this season’s trip… last winter

  • You have a color-coded calendar with mileage

  • You chase wildflowers, stargazing, and prime-time shoulder seasons

  • Your fridge is stocked for three days exactly

Hoppers crave: Efficiency, scenic stops, park passes, and the thrill of the next destination.

🧠 Final Thoughts

There’s no wrong way to camp.
You might even shift from one type to another depending on the season—or your mood.

So, are you:

  • A Floater looking for freedom?

  • A Rooter craving connection?

  • A Hopper chasing experiences?

Or maybe, just maybe… a little bit of each? 🏕️🚐💛
