I have a hunting lease just 5 miles down the road from the house and I camp there a lot. The DW doesn't consider it camping because it's too close to the house! There is also a WMA about 30 miles away that I camp at also. These are the only two places I have been able to sneak off to by myself.
If the word camping is said to loudly at my house everyone stops what they are doing and starts asking questions like: where, how long, when are we leaving, can we leave now! That's not to mention the dog going wild and running in circles and jumping up and down!
We are lucky to have both, a popup for getaway camping, and a small travel trailer on a seasonal permanent site in mountains of PA. So if I want to sneak away alone, I head to the mountains as all I have to do is stop for food on the way up, then light a few oil lanterns once I get there.
All our popup camping is social, so we tend to popup camp with large groups.

I've done so quite a few times. There have been times where I've taken a long road trip having to lay over a couple of nights going and coming back ... but did meet up with the fishing crew once I got there where we did "circle the wagons". Plus there are a couple (or more) of great trout streams in NC's western mountains where I've been know to take off for and stay four or five days by myself.
Certainly would prefer a camping/fishing companion along ... depending on just who it is ... otherwise would rather do so alone.
The first 15 years I camped were alone, in the Sierras. I used to go every chance I got, sometimes twice a month. Then a friend started to go with me. Now the last 10 years a third friend has joined the group. I still prefer to be alone, but old age and medical problems has slowed me down. I'm planning a solo trip in the near future to see if I can still do it.

I do from time to time. Most of the time I go to campground
and set everything up and my wife joins me the next day after work. Its hard to get out schedules to match most of the time.
I've done that a couple times. Used to be early or off on Fridays and get set up and DW is there Saturday morning.
