First of all, you drive your car right up to the campsite, which means you can take everything including the kitchen sink, as the saying goes. Each camp site usually includes a level place to pitch your tent, a picnic table with benches and a fire ring.
Most camp grounds have toilet facilities and running water.
Some campgrounds have electricity available, others do not. Following are some hints to ensure a successful carcamping experience. Find out ahead of time if reservations are required. Some reservations are available only by telephone. Take a ground cover for the tent.
