I think of freedom camping as a form of loitrering... nowhere to actually be and nothing to actually do,
however if your parked at a riverbed throwing a lure for trout or parked up at beach with surfcaster or at road end having
a siesta between hunts then your a camper with purpose...so not loitering.

I enjoy camping with purpose.

In my 2005 Forester I put the front seats forward and an old bed head with legs goes in the gap but you still don't have a flat surface so I put and air mattress there and had freezing night staying in Bannockburn as I should have used one of those insulated air mattress . I will make up something like yours .
