Car Camping

Recommended Posts

When I was a kid living in Nebraska my folks took my 3 siblings  and I on many camping adventures. I remember many nights spent sleeping in the back of a Ford station wagon packed in like sardines. Later on it was an Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Little Big Horn Battlefield, Mt. Rushmore and many more fantastic places.

Never saw one like that before.  It looks roomy, and if not too complicated would still be handy today.  If properly vented it could have electric lights, TV, radio, air conditioning, etc and even electric blankets or an electric water heater for those cold winter nights.
