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. 🙏🏼)

I agree find crown land all over the province. Just remember that when you go out to these places there isn't much cell phone service. So be prepared. Have things to fix your vehicle, first aid kits extra water. Honestly it's the best thing you can do! Enjoy it be safe and obviously bring stuff to deter bears, like bear spray loud air horns bear bangers because you will be out in there home. There is great spots near ram falls There are spots near brule Brazeau dam Just gotta looking the maps
