My $40 Car Camping Setup

My $40 Car Camping Setup

I love car camping and here’s what I use for my affordable car camping setup!

– 5-inch camper foam pad that I found at Fred Meyer
– Covered with a fitted twin sheet for cleanliness
– I used a roll of double reflective insulation that I found at Lowe’s and cut out privacy shades for each of my windows. This was actually pretty easy to do. I labeled each of them to easily put them on the right windows.

This is what I did for a basic, affordable sleep setup.

Of course, when you’re car camping you can bring whatever you like (if it fits in or or your car!)

For extra comfort and coziness☺️
– sleeping bag
– extra blankets
– pillows
– string lights or lanterns

  2. @StephAek on May 19, 2025 at 10:40 am

  4. @marie.3522 on May 19, 2025 at 10:43 am

    I love this! Do you have a longer video of it? Was the goal
    Pad enough to be comfortable even over the part where the seats come down?

  5. @NHSSHINOBI on May 19, 2025 at 10:44 am

    I have a Dodge Nitro. With my seats down, a full size bed area. I plan on doing a small trip where I live towards the east then a longer trip towards the west. I have an air mattress, but I will consider getting a mattress topper.

  17. @blackriderph4340 on May 19, 2025 at 10:58 am

    Thats not a camping “setup”. 😂 wheres your water, food storage, cooking utensils, lights, power source and many more? You just showed something to sleep in.

  18. @moufagbalila9164 on May 19, 2025 at 10:58 am

  28. @prettybrowneyes8945 on May 19, 2025 at 11:12 am

    Where are we legally allowed to park in cities to be able to sleep in our vehicles while traveling? It’s my first time, also any tips on staying warm car camping will be perfect!

  29. @Alpha-xt6ub on May 19, 2025 at 11:13 am

    I bring a rv when I’m camping and I’ll show you how much it is for me to go up😁

  31. @Godhealsnatureheals on May 19, 2025 at 11:15 am

    Where did you buy the pad?

  32. @jack9w533 on May 19, 2025 at 11:18 am

    That is not 40 dollars

  33. @thetintwizardsllc3128 on May 19, 2025 at 11:18 am

    I use to do the same thing in my Jeep until I bought a truck and camper no complaints though I went all over the place and camp out hunting trip and fishing trips

  34. @IanSchultzandMackenzieSchultz on May 19, 2025 at 11:19 am

    Except for your $200 sleeping bag haha 😂 but I like your set up we’re looking to do the same thing to our car

  35. @vannafraim9738 on May 19, 2025 at 11:19 am

    Where you get the foam from?

  36. @adriana1-z6n on May 19, 2025 at 11:19 am

    …and??😢

  37. @edyoutdoors on May 19, 2025 at 11:21 am

    nice setup

  38. @miamadoperromax on May 19, 2025 at 11:24 am

    Are there really such stupid people who can’t figure out that you can sleep normally in a car if you fold down the back seat and put down a mattress?)))

  39. @emilyjea on May 19, 2025 at 11:24 am

    What lights do you like?

  40. @americafirst5453 on May 19, 2025 at 11:24 am

    BS that nemo sleeping bag alone is way more than $40

  41. @kriskrissss on May 19, 2025 at 11:27 am

    I have that same exact sleeping bag and it is the best out there.

  42. @TammyCHoggan-j5x on May 19, 2025 at 11:28 am

  44. @stevet8121 on May 19, 2025 at 11:33 am

    Add a loaded handgun and sleep well. I never go camping without it.

  45. @digitalnomad114 on May 19, 2025 at 11:34 am

    How to make privacy shades?

  46. @meri-ro1gp on May 19, 2025 at 11:34 am

    Kako ste napravili sjenila za auto i koliko Vam je debela spužva za spavanje?

  47. @AGreedyTree on May 19, 2025 at 11:35 am

    I want to do something similar with my car. That way if I ever take a trip somewhere, I can sleep in my car instead of renting a motel. Plus if I decide to go camping at a state park or something, it’d be more comfortable than a tent since the car already has air conditioning, heat, and it won’t get wet inside when it rains.

  48. @drippyobama6036 on May 19, 2025 at 11:35 am

    Nice

  49. @bebenut123 on May 19, 2025 at 11:36 am
