but he already said "thanks in advance". So you should just do it for him. :P

Are you looking for car camping info or tenting accommodations?
A bivy can go anywhere.
A car/SUV/truck you just need/hope for levelish ground if you're sleeping in it. A rock under a tire can help level you out in some cases.
I've seen a tent pitched in the Maroon Bells parking lot, by another Baker. ;)

Trailheads you are currently not allowed to pitch a tent at include Maroon Lake and Yankee Boy Basin. (You are allowed to sleep in your car, though, and both have facilities for responsible pooping).
