In the comments section of that webpage that had the picture was an interesting link to "camp cars":

The "Mobile Mansion" book covers all kinds of car camping contraptions, including mention of our beloved Vanagons on page 35.

Noticed he's got a light bulb hanging in campsite, powered from his "van"; and that fold-up table is pretty cool too, as is the Dr.'s camp chair.  Everybody looks pretty happy and content.  As it is even today.  Great photo, thanks!

Well, it's not a Vanagon (there weren't any then), but it suggests the Vanagon camping life and shows that this way of camping has been about for a while:
