Now this is camping

We like going to these kinds of picnics with my wife. I like the second photo more, in my opinion, taking such a big tent is unnecessary if you are not planning to have some barbeques during the rain, and you can always sit in the camp/car backseats if you get in the rain. I think taking so a big tent every time is useless. Also, I would recommend taking flashlights on these types of trips. It may save you a hell tonne of your time. Especially if you get something broken in your car during nighttime, you will have enough light to try to fix it or replace the tire.
