Ken McAlpineTHE YIN AND YANG OF CAMPING
You can camp with amenities (see below), or you can camp without
(see page 56). Either way it's access to the Great Outdoors, so you
win.
Pampered Camping
The level of pampering varies considerably, from simple rustic
cabins without toilets (Curry Village) to the comforts of home and
then some (Molokai Ranch). Prices range accordingly, from $34 to
$250 a night.
