Even with dispersed camping (which is not at designated sites) you can still drive to them. We do so all the time. They're very popular here in Colorado. We literally take a 27 foot popup camper there, my brother in law brings his toy-hauler, my in laws bring their class c. And you just drive right up and camp. There's no marked site, it's just dispersed.
Just yesterday I got back from a trip at a designated campsite, which was marked, and you were not allowed to camp outside of 100ft of the marker. Notably this was a bit further up the road from an actual campsite, which had rules about hours, restroom use, no equines, no dogs off leash etc. and the sites were maintained spots with gravel etc.
So there's three levels, and dispersed is just the 'free-est' of them all, but it has no bearing on whether you can drive up and plop down a camper or not.
