What do you like better Dry camping or full hookups
I myself like both, I guess because I have small children, I would say full hookups.

I've always been a seasonal, so I'm spoiled with full hook ups!

I prefer FULL hookups, but as a Civil War reenactor, we usually have to camp "dry". That is why I liked this particular line of camper.

we prefer the full boat
however we also have an onboard genny which at times has saved us from sweating like bill on the witness stand 
last night when we got to barksdale the campground was FULL
so they put us in overflow ( water and one 125 volt 15 amp circuit, next to the pavilions and large shady trees, really nice spot, i wish they had hook ups on em )
it was hovering near 90 and the dogs where hot and so was DW and myself.
it sure was good to have the genny and both a/cs pumping out cold air... till i set the grass from nice deep green to nice toasty brown.
then as luck would have it the campground folks moved a rental trailer off a pad and we moved in.
gave me new apreciation for electricity on hot humids days

With the kids full hook-ups are the way to go for us.

Dry Camping. National Forest Service. Wilderness. Fewer People. Serious campers. Peace and quiet. Awesome.

I couldn't agree more. Space for the dogs to roam. They love it. We love it. Thanksgiving Day in a National Forest here we come!
Have fun y'all!

Except for Wallyworld and Flying J there is not much DRY CAMPING in Florida. Here it is almost always FULL hookup. In the western states it is about 50/50. Being we have a MH with full power, water, we can do either.

Ditto here, also. You don't have another camper 10' foot either side of you, and nowhere to park the TV. National Parks including the Skyline Drive are also high my list.

Still do both but rely on a 3000 watt inverter and generator for the 120 volt luxuries during dry camping. Prefer the full hook ups though. Even with the power from the inverter, the waste tanks still need to be dumped and the convenience of the drain being right next to your rig is well appreciated.

I like it dry
I don't know, I guess we just like that feeling of "isolation" that comes with dry camping. You know, you don't have any one to rely on or blame but yourself.

Hookups - Only because I don't have a quiet generator! I DO have one, but good lord is it loud. I'll only use it in remote areas where there's no one around.

Some of the camping areas may not have space for the rig,
so we drop it off at a central RV and dry camp with the 4x4
at places where no one wants with their Big rigs. We found
that it can be alot quieter and scenic dry camping and great
to get back to a hot shower. Both is Best

Dry camping whenever possible, unorganized campsite is the best, but they are becoming extinct. Forest service campgrounds are great and there again, I prefer dry camping. In daylight hours we always use the stinky campground pit toilets, but at night we use our trailer bathrooms

I prefer the seclussion you get from dry camping, as most full service sites in my area are a little more open.
