I just returned from a solo car-camping trip to AK. Well, I wasn't really solo, I had my three dogs, but they refuse to change tires.
I might add I'm an older woman with a really bad back. I didn't stay in campgrounds but boondocked and stayed in a few B&Bs when I wanted a shower. Some of my boondocking spots were pretty epic, but that's another story.
I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. It was a lot of fun and I liked being able to travel on my schedule to wherever I wanted. I don't think I could ever caravan with anyone, yet alone a real caravan. Too restrictive.
