You're not reasonably interpreting the author and you're going out of your way to snidely make them sound ignorant.

Applying some common sense, they probably mean 'for off-the-grid austerity [in commercial retreat accommodation available in the US]'.

That’s a little bit of a harsh interpretation of the parent comment. I think it was a valid point... if you’re looking for some peace and quiet and stunning surroundings at a reasonable cost, there are tons of fantastic backpacking options. Not having any religious/new age affiliations is (for me) another bonus of the park system.

Parent's comment seemed interested in proving that he is the bigger badass. If only Tommy Saxondale were here to mock.
