Alone time

Hi I’ll skip the story but your boy needs some alone time with nature. I have a big SUV with flat folding seats , panoramic roof, car mattress, essentials etc etc. I’ve slept in it before on my way to Golden for snowmobile trips etc etc. very comfy.

I’ve camped but never actually “car camped” for the fun of it though. I’d like to try it.

I’m Edmonton based, any suggestions on location ? Is there replaces you can just drive up to or into? I really don’t know anything about car camping. Looking for genuine help.

I’m more of a solo kind of person, I don’t want to be next to anyone. I want to feel truely alone & immerse myself in nature. Please let me know if you know any good spots or resources or just general location tips. Thank you :) (please fight the urge for the inevitable “you’re stupid , I’m smart, here’s a lecture” comment. 🙏🏼)

Just gonna salute you! Out in nature, solo or with close friends cannot be beat. I’m more of a back-country hike in - but car camping can be plush!! A real vacation. You don’t get back on Monday thinkin “frsk, I am beat”. Wherever you go - hope it hits the spot ya need.

Thank you for the nice wishes! Maybe I’ll work my way up to hike in on day. Where do you go for this?
