I split it up between car camping, what you see in this post. Which is much different than backpacking or Backcountry camping. Which is packing all your gear in a pack and trekking multiple days or large distances in the middle of nowhere.
I go backpacking exactly for the reasons you bring up. Sometimes there’s assholes at campsites. Or people with loud music, etc.
I could get a hella nice 4 season tent for way cheaper than that. 3k for a tent is ridiculous unless you’re going to places that will kill you, or you’re winter camping.
