Each campsite has a fire pit with a built-in cooking grate and there’s a cute little store where a disaffected local teenager will sell you firewood, medicine, snacks and booze.

It’s hella easy to set up and pretty comfy inside, and it makes a weekend in the great outdoors a lot easier if, like me, you don’t live your life like it’s an REI catalog.

That’s also helpful if you’re parked on rough or uneven ground, not that you’ll find much of that at Leo Carrillo; my Taycan Turbo’s summer tires never left the pavement.

The 93.4-kWh battery pack sends a maximum of 670 horsepower and 626 lb-ft of torque to a pair of electric motors, and I don’t imagine the extra weight hinders this car’s estimated 0-to-60-mph time of 3.1 seconds.

Plus, I’ve always found the Taycan’s EPA numbers notoriously easy to beat, and with 800-volt electrical architecture, you can take advantage of 270-kW charging speeds at a 350-kW public charger – assuming it works, anyway.

And yes, of course, you could just drop a hundred bucks on a tent from the local department store and pitch it on top of a tarp, but ew, that’s gross and uncomfortable and I guarantee if it rains you’ll wake up damp.
