We and the kids all loved it.

Here's another option besides ground camping and having an expensive camper. My car is a Honda CRV. It's set up for "car camping." Meaning the front seats lay completely back, level to the back seat. It makes a reasonably-sized sleeping space for 2 people. And in the floor of the back, there's a fold-out table. It's a smaller SUV, so there's a good amount of cargo space. Not the amenities of a camper, but you're not sleeping on the ground. I imagine there's other cars/SUV's are set up like this as well.

Some of the state parks have wonderful cabin facilities. We've stayed at DeGray State Park in Arkansas several times. It is known as a resort State Park. They even have a beautiful hotel/lodge there. I am sure there are others in various states.
