I only own a compact and I use it for camping, mountain biking, dog hauling, etc. very regularly. I have utterly destroyed the interior of this car. The carpets are coming off of the floor, the seats are a mess, the headliner is well past what I can clean with a vacuum. The tabs that the bumper mounts to no longer exist, the drip tray under my motor lost a couple of mount points, etc.

Absolutely will be buying a truck in the near future for these purposes- and selling this compact to a high school student or somebody else willing to drive a ragged out hybrid.

The annoying thing is that, at least in the US, trucks are just getting bigger and bigger.

Small / compact trucks like the Toyota Tacoma have become much bigger, and other models like the Ford Ranger disappeared and have been reintroduced in larger sizes.

This is annoying, because the previous gen size of the Ranger (e.g.) is a really great and useful size. Most people who could use a truck don't need the giant "full size" models, and yet the market ignores them.

Hard to hose out the trunk or interior of a sedan after a dirty day of mountain riding.

You CAN, but it SUCKS, and it leaves little room for other humans or other items. Plus, it's super hard on the interior.

If you do this a lot and can afford it, a larger vehicle is a great option.

Until you try to pack your camping gear between the bikes and you end up with a cargo rack or cargo hitch.
