#608 - Peter MasonInyo National Forest, Glass Mountain Trail, California2013 Ford F1502010 Four Wheel Camper Hawk ShellCamera Used - Nikon D810I enjoy visiting and photographing in California's Eastern Sierra which is quite busy during the summer months. After staying for a week in a developed Forest Service campground, I was looking for an out-of-the-way campsite to spend my last night. I found it by searching the topo map of the Inyo National Forest. This spot is miles from paved road and to my delight gets few visitors. The photo includes Jupiter to the right of the Milky Way, and there is a meteor, too.

#609 - Monique BurgessMonahans Sandhills State Park, Monahans, Texas2018 Ram 35002017 Eagle Cap 811Camera Used - Pixel 3While heading west, had to tuck off highway to sleep for the night. We were experiencing unseasonably low temps, below freezing. This was boondocking. We loved the amazing lunar-like landscape, gusting winds and sense of isolation. We’re global sailors. This place felt like a faraway anchorage.

#610 - Sharon PoundPortsmouth Island, North Carolina2012 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD2018 Lance 650Camera Used - iPhoneAfter Hurricane Dorian shredded Portsmouth Island on the Cape Lookout National Seashore, we thought we might never be able to visit that remote spot ever again. Not only were we able to get on the island again, it took less than two months for the National Park Service to open it back up. This trip saw extremely high tides, and we had to nestle as close to the dunes as we could. But we were back at our favorite paradise! And, we saw at least four other Lance truck campers that weekend!

#611 - Marco PijnackerAdvocate Harbour, Nova Scotia2019 Ford F-3502018 AdventurerCamera Used - Panasonic DC-TZ90Hello from The Netherlands. I took this picture at a great campground named The Old Shipyard Beach Campground. It was our (my wife and I) last stop after a six week 9,320 kilometer trip. This trip was a test, and we traveled from Vancouver to Halifax in this great camper rented from FraserWay (a real great company). Over the last 30 years we have rented all kind of campers (big and small) and vans. This was our first time renting a truck camper and we loved it. Super! This is a great way for two people to travel in the USA and Canada.Therefore we are now seriously reading Truck Camper Magazine, because in two years, we will retire and like to buy a truck camper in the USA and travel for a long time. Over the last 30 years we have been in all 50 States (49 in a camper; Hawaii in rental cars and Airbnbs), nine Canadian provinces and one territory, the Yukon. However, our main goal is to visit all 61 National Parks in the USA and the 48 in Canada plus all the State/Provincial Capitals.

#613 - Ralph Goff (aka Ramblin' Ralph)Bob Scott Campground in Nevada on US502006 GMC 2500HD2001 Lance 845Camera Used - Canon Power Shot A590ISI was returning from my annual visit with my cousin in Montana and stopped at one of my favorite campgrounds - USFS Bob Scott in NV on US50. As I walked around the campground I got to this spot where it's hard to tell I'm in a campground. I especially like the yellow flowers, which are quite common in that area.

The Alabama Hills are one of my favorite boondocking spots. The site of many old western movies.

We had everything needed to make this space a great one; hookups, view, full moon, Fire pit, and a super comfy camper.

We lived out of our Lance Camper for seven months. We were off grid most of the time and used our solar panels. It was an amazing trip of a lifetime. These pictures are from the southern coast of Costa Rica.

#625 - Anne Marie LewisLake-O-Law Provincial Park, Nova Scotia2013 GMC Sierra2013 Eagle Cap 850Camera Used - Canon 5D Mark IIIt was a pretty rainy day so we figured it would be perfect for checking out the foliage on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. The rain stopped just for the twenty minutes that we spent walking on the lake shore, then started up again as soon as we got back in the truck. Great timing!

#627 - Mickey WillenbringNavajo Nation, Arizona2016 Ram 25002018 Capri RetreatCamera Used - Nikon D750Every year, my now teenage son and I hitch the stock trailer up to the truck and drive cross country to sell, buy, and trade Navajo-Churro Sheep in the four corners area of Navajo Nation. We used to sleep in our truck or tent camp on BLM land, but after buying our custom Capri Camper, we find life a whole lot happier in our Retreat. We really appreciate being able to have a safe place to store the handwoven Navajo rugs and the handmade Navajo jewelry that we often take in trade for our sheep, and knowing that we can pull over anywhere makes the long nights of driving solo go by a lot easier. Navajo Nation is a beautiful place to travel through, spanning across several states and incorporating all the ethereal beauty of the desert and the stark majesty of the mountains, but with distances often measured in hours instead of miles due to the terrain, and a serious lack of hotels or campgrounds, having the camper greatly increases our ease of access.

#631 - Scott HallenbergPark City, Utah2017 Chevy Silverado 35002019 Hallmark MilnerCamera Used - 8016413495In search of colors and a little warmer weather, I was leaving Park City en route to the San Juan Skyway, starting in Telluride. I started in a rain shower and as I was cresting this hill the lighting was so dramatic, I quickly pulled over to grab this snap shot with my Sony A6000. I take this hiking and mountain bike riding and luckily had it in the passenger’s seat. One thing I love about my popup camper setup is how easy it is to pick up and go. It's as comfortable on the interstate, scenic byways or forest services roads.

#632 - Scott HallenbergFruita, Colorado2017 Chevy Silverado 35002019 Hallmark MilnerCamera Used - Nikon D850One of the really unique features I love about my Hallmark Milner is its sturdy one piece roof designed and lifting mechanism. While the roof supports a lot of weight, Hallmark installed a Lewmar Skylight for me in my build. This is typically used on the bow of ocean going sailboats for passing sails from below decks to be hoisted. Having it on my camper lets me clearly view the night sky while in bed and even better I can easily access the roof for either wildlife or night sky photography. I shot this picture with my Nikon D850 with remote control. I decided to be the model for this one to reinforce all the weight the roof can actually support!

#633 - Scott HallenbergOuray, Colorado2017 Chevy Silverado 35002019 Hallmark MilnerCamera Used - Nikon D810One of the great things about my Hallmark Milner popup camper is I really can go just about anywhere with and be comfortable when I get there. I found this camping spot just south of Ouray off a forest service road. I was doing a photo tour of the San Juan Skyway at the end of September. The daytime temps were a warm in 70s with night time trip dropping into the low 30s especially when camping at 9200 feet. So having a rig that can easily handle a range of conditions, navigate rutted roads, and be comfortable in just about any camp spot is liberating. It's the ultimate in flexibility and makes chasing the peak colors of Fall a lot of fun.

It's a 520km road and is 4X4 only with lots of sharp rocks and sand.

#637 - Wendy BaldingMutawintji National Park, Outback New South Wales, Australia2011 Ford Ranger2010 Northstar 600SSCamera Used - Samsung S8We were traveling along a very quiet road in the Outback when we noticed rain drops on our windscreen. Looking back we could see a storm approaching. We fortunately made it to the campsite before the storm hit. All the roads were closed as creeks flooded and we were trapped for two days waiting for the roads to open.

The campfire was so mesmerizing and appreciated after 200 kilometers of sand and rocks in the beautiful Stony Desert.

#639 - Matt NelsonSomewhere in southwest Colorado2017 Ram 35002007 Arctic Fox 990Camera Used - Pixel 3 XLAfter driving across southwestern Colorado for a couple hours, I decided I was ready for a break to stretch my legs and make some lunch. And almost as if the universe knew, a sign for a picnic area appeared off the roadway. I pulled in to enjoy these spectacular snow capped mountains to take a walk and enjoy a good lunch! It was as I was driving along, so sadly, I actually have no idea where I actually stopped. The exact location shall be a mystery for the ages.

#644 - Aaron MacraeOregon2009 Ford F-150Phoenix Pop Up Camper Stealthy MiniCamera Used - Sony A7RiiWhen the going is good, you keep going. We had been traveling all over Oregon and were simply blown away by the landscape. It seemed so surreal how you could be on a snow-covered trail in the mountains and be headed for the sunny oceanside all in the same day. On this particular morning, we woke up in our truck camper after a heavy snowfall in the mountains, and thought it’d be the perfect day to going surfing on the coast. After a full day of surfing, we watched the sun fall behind the horizon and thought to ourselves that life could not get much better than this!

#645 - Aaron MacraeCalifornia2009 Ford F-150Phoenix Pop Up Camper Stealthy MiniCamera Used - Sony A7RiiOn a chilly evening in February, we arrived to a destination we’ve been dreaming of for quite some time; Lone Pine, California. We couldn’t see a damn thing and weren’t really sure if we were in the correct area. Our only option was to call it a night and hope for the best come morning. 6:00am and our alarms were buzzing. We watched the sun set fire to this enchanting landscape and felt like we had these entire backroads to ourselves. It’s pretty incredible to think of the scenarios you can find yourself in, when you opt for the more adventurous route..rather than staying in a hotel.

Far away from any WIFI signal, we can always place ourselves in the most unique areas. We truly find this Phoenix Pop Up Camper has enabled us to sleep in some of the most incredible places on earth and we couldn’t be more grateful!
