When I backpacked 50+ years ago, it was to get away from people. Can’t imagine camping with 10,000 strangers. As a nature counselor at a boys camp in Becket, Ma, I enjoyed introducing nature/camping/backpacking to NYC kids. Not having a toilet didn’t bother me but there were always a few who were taken back by not having a toilet!
