This is what we call “car camping”. Sorry, but it isn’t camping. Driving your car to the mountains to set up a tent in a parking lot is silly.
Need to the tent and gear into a back pack and hike to a camp spot. That is camping.
Aye, there is a difference between car camping and backpacking, but there is a level of backpacking you should try. Backpacking without a trail is exhilerating. 30 miles of picking a direction and figuring out how to negotiate every obstacle that comes your way from deep canyons to crossing ridges, knowing full well that if you mess up, you will never be found is an experience unparalled. Even on our cross nevada 4 wheel trips, we often take tracks that barely exist and haven’t been driven on in decades, but a cvehicle is way easier to spot from the air than a lone hiker.
True, but the right motorhome can make for a thrilling holiday.
