I have had similar experiences myself. 98% of the people I associate with in here are Latino and camping is not popular at all with them. Any time I bring it up or try to plan a trip they look shocked I even brought it up and say, "camping....like in a tent? Oh no I don't do that stuff!" It sucks because we are only a two hour drive from the Lincoln National Forest which is absolutely perfect for back-backing. I've even looked for local "outdoors" groups or clubs via craigslist or meet-up with no luck.
