My first experience car camping wasn't that long ago. I've always hated campgrounds and loved dispersed camping, but when I came to the Alvord Desert in Oregon to camp on the playa (pic related), the 40+ mph gusts made me take down my tent like an hour after putting it up.
So, I slept in my car and it was cozy, but fuck, I wish I had a van. My car is pretty much a sedan disguising itself as an SUV, it can barely manage 30mph on gravel/dirt. I at least got comfortable, and ended up spending 9 days driving around the west, sleeping in national forests, and not pitching my tent at all. It is fucking hard to keep organized when you're sleeping, driving, and sometimes eating in the same place.
