I'm interested in this, depending on if hubby can take the time off. Or, if it is possible to only do a day trip, that would probably work better for us?
If we do end up doing the camping part, I will have to figure out what to do for a bed. I swore, no more tent camping. LOL I guess I will have to look into some cots. I'm not into sleeping on the ground and air mattress's are out too. LOL Can I take my VW Bus? LOL Just Kidding.
Any suggestions for good cots or other products?
Byer of Maine cots. I have had my Byer cots almost 25 years and they are as good today as they were when new. They are not the cheapest nor are they the most expensive. However, in my opinion, they are the best value of the currently available choices.
The two best suited to jeep camping are the Allagash (the ones I have) and the Tri Lite.

Check these out, at 55” wide they are wide enough for two adults and maybe a few small dogs, albeit a little bit snug.

This looks cool as far as if I was younger, but the need for a port a potty out weighs its coolness. LOL That and I like to be able to stand to get dressed. Yah, I'm not much into really roughing it anymore.
Thanks for the suggestion though. 
Might as well introduce myself here to keep an eye on the thread but I am from the Riverside area of SoCal. But would definitely be willing to head north for some adventures up there.
OP
Lots of wheeling opportunities in the Sunny state, so you shouldn't get bored! Welcome!

Hey I’m no spring chicken either, the fact that I used the phrase “I’m no spring chicken either” makes me an old fart. Every now and then I have to rough it for a night and this works for that, otherwise I like a little more comfort myself.
OP
We all get older and enjoy some of the more creature comforts while camping. Guilty as charged!
I am 68 and like a comfortable night's sleep as much as anyone.
Here is one of my campsites from an overlanding trip to Moab in 2017 a month before I purchased my current jeep. I used a cot (Byer of Maine shown in previous post) and sleeping pad, no tent necessary.

I must admit that’s a top of the line cot. I copied you on the Front Runner chairs just bought 2 of them
My father in law lives in Riverside as well. Every year or so I tow the jeep down there and go wheeling with him. I'll let you know the next time we go out.
Unfortunately I have to live in mine four nights a week, yours is for fun every time you use it!
Are these the chairs your talking about? https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.c...s3oM-wx019s5M6hxEYkvJWxcBpN4JaCwaAtTLEALw_wcB
I’m in search of some comfortable chairs.
