Yep but can be fun, the only way I could get the wife camping was to buy a tent that fit in the bed of my truck,so she was off the ground! We have traveled all over exploring hot springs both wild and captive (commercial)
Once we spent ten days in the middle of nowhere Nevada, in November,near a hot spring well, that flowed into large metal tubs, and several other springs nearby....,very little electric, batteries and solar, only saw wild burros and pigs for a week, but still just car camping some would say.
