#200 - Dale DeckerFlaming Gorge National Recreation Area, Utah2020 Ford F-3502020 Eagle Cap 1200Camera Used - Canon EOS RWe were a first time RVer family this summer. We departed Iowa and headed for the coast with little agenda. For four weeks we were trying to learn the ins and outs of RV life from park to park. Things went fantastic with a truck camper set up. It drove well, and our kids were safely in the car seats in the back seat. We had plenty of room to call it home each night. A two week trip turned into four weeks, nine states, and 5,800 miles.

#205 - Paul KellagherKillary Harbour, Galway, Ireland2008 Landrover Defender2009 RangerCamera Used - iPhoneWandering and exploring coastal roads on Ireland’s west coast is a regular pastime. We stopped near these small fishing boats for lunch. The leaves in the nearby woodland are just starting to turn color.

#206 - Paul KellagherOmey Island, Connemara, Ireland2008 Landrover Defender2009 RangerCamera Used - iPhoneMoonlight and magic. Camping on the west coast of Ireland. It’s a perfect place to unwind and relax, falling asleep to the sound of waves on the shore. The west coast of Ireland was for a long time the edge of the known world. Sometimes it still feels that way.

#207 - Gary McNicholsNear Diamond Lake ,Oregon2018 Chevrolet 3500 HD2014 Arctic Fox 1140Camera Used - iPhoneWe started at agency Lake Oregon. We were evacuated there from a fire. Then, we went to Diamond Lake and the wind was blowing so hard we decided to go to Lemolo Lake. We camped for the night and again at 4:00am got evacuated because of a fire that started at Diamond Lake earlier that night.

#208 - David RuaneNorthwest Colorado2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD2020 Northern Lite 9-6 QLECamera Used - DJI Mavic Pro DroneThis is a great boondocking location we found on the edge of Dinosaur National Monument in northwest Colorado. What a killer view! We got lucky since some van people were pulling out when we were arriving.

#209 - David RuaneNorthern Colorado2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD2020 Northern Lite 9-6 QLECamera Used - Nikon D7000Here’s another lucky find we found while checking areas for camping opportunities while camping. This spot was beautiful but likely at risk with the current forest fires in Northern Colorado. This spot had a great view and little traffic.

#210 - Lynn CantellSt. Francis, Maine2018 Chevrolet 35002018 Northstar 9.5 IglooCamera Used - iPhone 6sThis is one of our favorite places to camp. It is at Pelletier's Campground in St. Francis, Maine. It is along the St. John's River with Canada on the other side. This is a small campground with no services and being so far up in Maine it is not usually full. The only other group there this night were five guys on there motorcycles who were tent camping for the night. We were getting ready to cook our dinner on our campfire when a storm came through. This was taken right after the storm when the rainbow appeared. We like to think of it as the camper at the end of the rainbow.

#211 - Jeffrey PollockBlack Canyon, New Mexico2020 Ford F3502015 Northstar LaredoCamera Used - iPhone XThe road looks good at first but gets really bad with switch backs and cliffs. There’s not much travel on it, just the way I like it.

#211 - Jeffrey Pollock

#212 - Jeffrey PollockBlack Canyon, New Mexico2020 Ford F3502015 Northstar LaredoCamera Used - iPhone XThe campsite next to the creek makes sleeping perfect. There was no moon out this week so stars were amazing. It was crowded with nearest neighbors 2,000 yards down stream and a beaver dam up stream. Eagles kept things interesting during the day. Not wearing a mask for a week made it the best trip yet.

#213 - Scott SpradleyLake Colorado City State Park, Texas2020 Chevrolet 3500 HD1998 Lance SL186ECCamera Used - iPhone XThis photo was taken as the sun was rising over Lake Colorado City in Texas. The lake is not visible because the brush is very dense at this site. It was a beautiful morning! We live close to the lake and it is a favorite weekend destination for my wife and I. Crowds at the campgrounds have been nonexistent for us. We bike and hike at this park.

#215 - Gary McNicholsLower Klamath Wildlife Refuge2018 Chevrolet 3500 HD2014 Arctic Fox 1140Camera Used - iPhoneI’ve been hunting the Klamath area for 40 years in various locations. This area is on the Lower Klamath national wildlife refuge. We’ve been coming here for the last 10 years. It’s an excellent waterfowl hunting spot. We usually come here a few days before the season opens to scout out the bird activity and try to figure out a good strategy for opening morning. Because of drought conditions and weather conditions there’s no guarantee that the place you hunted last year will be good for a hunt this year. It’s always fun and relaxing to come, scout, hunt and meet up with family and friends.

#219 - Dard LarsonDillon Reservoir, Frisco, Colorado2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD2021 Cirrus 820Camera Used - iPhone XSWe were camping next to Dillon Reservoir and the local wildfires in Colorado left a hazy, smokey sky at sunset. The yellow/orange colors reminded me of wood fire flame colors as if the sun had lite the sky on fire.

#221 - Brad TinkerNew Zealand2005 Ford F1502007 Lance 815Camera Used - iPhone XI came across this camping spot in the north island of New Zealand and parked up with a few other people. The wind got stronger as the night went on and we were happy to be safe and sound in the Lance when the thunder, lightning, and hail hit.

#222 - Corey HumphreyUpper Peninsula, Michigan2018 Chevy 25002000 KZ SportsmanCamera Used - iPhoneMy 8 year old son, Pierson, and I went on a father son adventure for four days in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. After one night in an off grid campground on the shore of Lake Superior he insisted we go “real boondockin”. Several hours later we found this spot with river access that allowed us to do a fall colors kayaking trip followed by a warm up by the campfire.

#222 - Corey Humphrey

#223 - Corey HumphreyUpper Peninsula, Michigan2018 Chevy 25002000 KZ SportsmanCamera Used - iPhoneOn a four day boondocking trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula my son, Pierson, and I found this tucked away location with river access. The fall colors kayaking tour did not disappoint and neither did the father/son campfire time afterwards.

#223 - Corey Humphrey

#224 - Corey HumphreyNorthwest Lower Michigan2018 Chevy 25002000 KZ SportsmanCamera Used - iPhoneI use an app called OnX Hunt for my public land bow hunting activities. In spending more time than I should looking for deer hunting locations I ran across this spot on the the map that looked intriguing in many ways, one was that it looked like a good spot to camp. My son and I were heading home from our trip to the UP and decided to check it out. It couldn’t have turned out to be a better spot. We didn’t do any deer hunting on this trip since my son is still only eight years old, but we did get in the woods for some small game hunts, which he still prefers at this point. Finding spots on a map compared to reality doesn’t always work like that but is exciting when they do. We will definitely be back!

#225 - Tom BakerUS 550 at Purgatory Ski Area, Colorado2019 Ram 35002019 Arctic Fox 811Camera Used - iPhone XWe were returning home from an extended weekend in Ouray via US 550, aka “The Million Dollar Highway”, when I snapped this shot.

#226 - Abbey SmithOuray/Silverton mountain pass, Colorado2020 Dodge 25002019 Real-Lite SS-1600Camera Used - iPhone 6George and I took a much needed road trip for 14 days. We made a large loop from Bondurant, Wyoming south to Ouray, Silverton, and Durango, Colorado. Then, we went west to Cortez and Mesa Verde. After that, we went north to Goblin State Park, Lake Powell, and Escalante, Utah, then crossed back into Wyoming via Highway 510 south of Evanston, Wyoming through the Wasatch Mountains. This picture was taken on the famous Million Dollar Highway (US Highway 550) that travels between Ouray, Colorado and Silverton, Colorado. Anyone who has had the pleasure of traveling this route knows the steep mountain pass, lack of shoulder, and extreme vertical drops off the edge. You earn your wings at the 12,000 plus feet of elevation you gain. But the views are spectacular in the fall as the leaves are changing colors. If you look closely in the photo, you can see a herd of elk feeding on the mountain side. This was the perfect get away for us to see some of the most spectacular country in the mountain west. I would encourage anyone to take the time to check out this part of the world in your truck camper. You can't go wrong.

#227 - Abbey SmithUS Highway 12 near Henrieville, Utah (close to Kodachrome State Park)2020 Dodge 25002019 Real-Lite SS-1600Camera Used - iPhone 6While we were on a 14 day road trip through Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah, we stopped for a night of rest along the beautiful US Highway 12 outside of Henriville, Utah along side the Shurtz Creek. Hoovering above the waterway is a spectacular cliff band that begs to be photographed when the morning sun hits the rocks. The trip was a much needed get away to see some of the best countryside that the mountain west has to offer, not to mention an excuse to utilize our truck camper. It is our favorite way to travel with our hotel room on the back of the truck and go wherever we choose to stay.

#227 - Abbey Smith

#228 - Abbey SmithStarvation State Park near Duchene, Utah2020 Dodge 25002019 Real-Lite SS-1600Camera Used - iPhone 6On our 14 day adventure stopping wherever our hearts called us, we landed at Starvation Reservoir within the state park by the same name. We were surprised to find we were one of three people camping on the entire lake with plenty of room to enjoy the beautiful sites. This is second time we have stayed at this state park and highly recommend it to anyone traveling southern Utah. The weather was in the high 70s and ideal for a fall day of sitting by the water’s edge.

#229 - Scott LauneyJedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, California1996 Ford F-2502020 Northstar 850SCCamera Used - Samsung PhoneMy camper was stuck in Medford, Oregon with a blown seal on the tranny, so I flew home to San Diego, California. I'd left the camper with friends and the truck at the local Ford dealer for repair. I couldn't get back up because of the fires that devastated the area south of Medford until a couple weeks later. When I finally got back, I took a solo trip south on the California coast for eight days to get home. My first day I headed through Jedediah Smith Redwoods Park and came across this beautiful drive northeast of Crescent City, California. Needless to say, it was a great start to the trip with many more wonderful places on the way home.

#229 - Scott Launey

#230 - Scott LauneyHoneydew, California1996 Ford F-2502020 Northstar 850SCCamera Used - Nikon D5100After leaving the Lost Coast of California, I headed to Mattole Beach and then inland. I got to a beautiful little spot called Honeydew, California. Just out of town was this little one lane bridge. I had to stop and get a photo. From there it was on to Humboldt Redwoods State Park for a couple days of hiking.

#231 - Dard LarsonFirehole River, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD2021 Cirrus 820Camera Used - iPhone XSWe wanted to find a quiet place to have lunch after dealing with the crowds at the Old Faithful geyser. We found this quiet location by the Firehole River. We enjoyed the solitude, the sound of the river, and the crystal clear day.

#232 - Dard LarsonStockade Lake North Campground, Custer State Park, South Dakota2020 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD2021 Cirrus 820Camera Used - iPhone XSWe thoroughly enjoyed the attractions of the Black Hills of South Dakota and then appreciated a totally relaxing evening back at our quiet, private campsite in Custer State Park.

#233 - Jason Bednarik#1 Ocean Shores, Washington1997 Ford F350 2015 Bigfoot 15C9.5FSLBCamera Used - Samsung Galaxy S9 phoneWe decided to take the kids out to the coast for the weekend and ended up in Ocean Shores, Washington. What a better place than directly on the beach to play in the sand and water. It was so nice having everything we need on the beach with our truck camper!

#233 - Jason Bednarik

#234 - Jason BednarikHoh Rainforest, Washington1997 Ford F3502015 Bigfoot 15C9.5FSLBCamera Used - Samsung Galaxy S9 phoneWe wanted to get away for the weekend with the kids and the truck camper. We decided that a trip around the Olympic Peninsula would be perfect. Although we had done it in the past many times, we never stopped to visit the Hoh Rainforest. Wow! I’m so glad we did! We hiked a few short trails that were just stunning. Having the truck camper made it really nice after we got drenched in a downpour on a trail. It’s definitely worth it though!

#234 - Jason Bednarik

#235 - Jason SmithI-52 near Stanley, Idaho2016 Ford F2502020 Arctic Fox 811Camera Used - iPhone XThis was taken on the first day of our ten day honeymoon trip in which we left from Washougal, Washington, went through Oregon to stay in the Sawtooth mountains in Idaho, and then north into Montana to camp in the Bitterroot mountains. Then, we crossed back over into Washington to stay at Mt. Rainer National Park. I love this picture because it was taken on the scenic highway to Stanley, Idaho from Fruitland. We followed the river the whole way. It was absolutely beautiful.

#236 - Gustav PostreichTennessee Valley Authority Public Land Chatuge Lake, North Carolina2019 Ford F4502012 Lance 1191Camera Used - Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS70During the current pandemic, Marcia and I decided to get away for awhile. For twelve days, we dry camped our way through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. Marcia, our navigator, is always looking for boondocking sites when she found this one on TVA public land at Chatuge Lake. It is a great place for boating or kayaking.

#240 - Bill JonesOn the Edge of the Devil’s Kitchen, Wyoming2017 Ford F-350 2018Northern Lite 9-6Q SECamera Used - iPhone 10We made a specific trip to, and an extended stop at the Devil’s Kitchen near Greybull, Wyoming to see the unique characteristics of this geological feature. The weather was clear and dry, with a brilliant blue sky, and light steady wind. We were traveling from Yellowstone National Park to Sheridan, Wyoming. The Devil’s Kitchen is east of Greybull and north of Highway 14. We overnighted at the Shell Creek Campground in the Bighorn mountains on Road 17.

#241 - Paul KulickMoab, Utah2015 Ford F3502017 Cirrus 820Camera Used - Samsung Galaxy 9 plusSince the weather was cooler than normal in Moab for June we were able to head out of town and camp and enjoy beautiful sunsets for an entire week and spend our days jeeping and mountain biking.

#242 - David BuchananOn the way to Polebridge, Montana2001 Chevy Silverado1980s Sunray LiteCamera Used - iPhone 8This camper was gifted to me by an old friend. After I cleaned it up it was surprisingly in good shape. We were able to stay contained in our truck camper during this pandemic on a tour west through the national parks.

#242 - David Buchanan

#243 - Gerald KyddAbraham Lake, Alberta2004 Ford F-350 Diesel1997 Northern Lite 8.5Camera Used - iPhone 8We found this place on Abraham Lake the previous year when driving by on our very first adventure in this rig from a trip into the interior of British Columbia. We decided we had to make a trip back and explore the area more in 2020. It is part of a story of a dog and his camper and the people that operate it for him. Boeing, the rescue dog, wanted to vacation in the Canadian Rockies, but we found pet friendly hotels to be ridiculously expensive. We had the F350 for years, but one of us did not want to pull a trailer and the other was not keen on tenting. A truck camper looked like a good compromise. An internet search turned up the camper that had been equipped with a Stable Lift system. It was something we thought was so interesting and unique we just had to have it. We have been to all sorts of interesting places, but this place with mountains, water, and forest has been the best yet.

#246 - Esther FiddesMyles Standish State Forest, Massachusetts2001 Chevy 25002005 Lance 915Camera Used - PhoneI was trying a new place to explore. This is a fabulous park with a separate horse camping area and big, quiet sites. There are no hook ups. It does have bath house in center of camping area. There are miles of trails, paved bike trails, dirt roads, lots of beautiful ponds and lakes. Can’t wait to go back!

#246 - Esther Fiddes

#247 - Esther FiddesOtter Creek, New York2001 Chevy 25002005 Lance 915Camera Used - PhoneThis is a private campsite that we rent every year. Otter Creek is in Adirondacks, with incredible trails for horses. There are peaceful pine forests, endless rivers and lakes, vistas and sandy soft footing. It’s a horse trail paradise!

#248 - Tamra GauthierRed Rocks Lakes, Montana2000 Ford F3502010 Host EverestCamera Used - iPhone 8+We bought our truck camper, “Big Jake”, in March 2020, just before all the Covid shut downs. We waited until Memorial Day weekend to go camping to a favorite camp spot on Red Rock Lake National Wildlife Refuge, which is a remote area east of Lima, Montana. The weather had been snowy, yet warm enough for the road to be a sloppy mess, but Big Jake was a champ getting us to our camp spot! The weekend was wonderful with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I happened to catch this shot at 8:25 pm with the sunset bouncing off the mountain behind Big Jake.

#249 - Ron VitoneFrampton, Quebec1992 Ford F-3502010 Arctic Fox 990Camera Used - PhoneDue to Covid, camping in Quebec was scarce and unknown. I planned a trip in the Beauce region to visit friends and boondock with the kids and the dog. This shot was taken from the backyard of my friend’s brewery in Frampton, Quebec (Frampton Brasse). It has beautiful views and great people. If you encourage them by buying their products (beer, food and more beer to go) and you are nice, you're welcome to stay the night, but advise them first! Waking up to the cattle in the morning shuffling about was great. There is a small zoo close by for kids of all ages.

We're camped on a completely random half-section of BLM land in the middle of nowhere, with nothing in particular there except for huge skies and long views, all to ourselves. Katie the Aussie approves.

After finding this rare classic Roamer I just had to take it out and enjoy it. The Roamer had been in storage for 20 years and was only used a few times since new. The truck and camper did great. I am now in the process of adding a propane generator and storage behind the rear bumper along with supports and tie-downs.

#258 - Marcos GadaianChapada dos Veadeiros National Park, Brazil2005 Ford F3502006 Lance 881Camera Used - Canon Eos 7DWe were going to visit the wonderful couros waterfall, but it took us a long time to cross 30 miles of very difficult dirt road. So we decided to spend the night in the woods. The next day, early in the morning, we were able to enjoy the waters of the waterfall just for us!

It’s a peaceful spot to relax for a day. The photo was taken while walking along the bank. I crawled down the bank some and shot up at the camper.

#260 - Francis MertesGrosvenor Arch, Utah2018 Ram 55002018 Eagle Cap 1165Camera Used - Canon 1DI traveled three hours, 30 miles up the dirt path of Cottonwood Canyon Road to Last Chance Creek Road. It’s a narrow, washboard twisty road to view the arches. There are two towering sandstone arches 150 feet high. It’s a beautiful drive and worth it. After viewing the arch, I continued on Cottonwood Canyon road about another 20 miles to Bryce Canyon.

#261 - Derek HansenHomer, Alaska2002 Ford F3502004 Lance 1010Camera Used - DJI Phantom 3 AdvancedThere is a saying in Alaska that when the fireweed blossom reaches the top of the stem, the summer will be over. We did a road trip to Homer in mid-August at the height of fireweed season. There were fields of fireweed in full bloom along the highway and the gravel roads on top of the high bluffs to the north of Homer. This photo was taken during golden hour as the setting sun lit up the thousands of blossoms.

#263 - Don St. JeanBreton Point, Newport, Rhode Island2016 Ram 25001995 Lance Squire 9.5'Camera Used - iPhone 7With travel restrictions in place this summer, my wife and I decided to take our camper and our 130 pound Greater Swiss Mountain Dog on mini adventures . We explored picturesque parts of own state of Rhode Island. We would pull into scenic overlooks, walk for a while, and then have dinner in the camper. This particular day had been overcast and misty for much of the afternoon, but we decided to head to one of our favorite places, Breton Point State Park, in Newport. The ocean is magnificent in all types of weather. After driving past the mansions on Bellevue Avenue, we followed Ocean Drive to the point. With the inclement weather, there were very few visitors, so we had much of the parking area to ourselves. While we were getting the stairs set up on the camper (and carpeted ramp for our dog), we noticed that the sky was starting to clear - just in time to treat us to a gorgeous sunset while we dined. After dinner, we walked along the rocks where fisherman were taking advantage of a run of Bluefish. We then noticed the sound of intense splashing coming from a cove. As we approached, we saw the water churning with activity. The blues had driven a school of bait fish into the cove and were in the midst of a feeding frenzy. We walked well into the evening, taking in the many sights and sounds, and enjoying scent of the ocean on our mini adventure.

We were camping at Farquhar-Metsa Touris Park in Gwinn, Michigan. We stayed four nights, beginning August 25, 2020. It was a beautiful park with walking trails and the Escanaba River flows through the property. The park is maintained by the township. We loved the city of Gwinn.

We just drove around without any plan and found these places. They were in National Forests. There’s nothing better than having a truck camper and being able to park just about anywhere.

I had purchased my camper earlier in the year, so this was my first duck hunt with the camper. Dodger, the Beagle, came along for fun. It didn’t take him long to figure out all the benefits of a camper; namely being warm and dry and basking in the sun at the entry way.

We had been in three days of straight rain and miserable weather, and were just heading out of Stewart on the next leg of our trip. Just as we were coming near the Bear Glacier, the mist and rain broke and allowed us to get this picture of our rig at the glacier. From this point on we had amazing weather and a wonderful trip.

#278 - Stephane ParadisSaint-Urbain, Quebec2015 Ram 25001975 BisonCamera Used - iPhone XI rarely take pictures which makes this one special. It got snapped in the spur of the moment not knowing that it will reveal such an out of this world peaceful environment.It was one of those long-driving days where you are exhausted, lost without signals and can’t seem to find anywhere to park for the night. It’s the kind of day where you forget why you decided to leave everything behind and hit the road a year or so before.Out of resources, I decided to knock at a farmer’s house to ask permission to stay on his property. The discussion that followed is among the most gratifying I had in years and basically ended up as a lifetime permission to park my truck on his land.At that point, everything started to make sense and that evening will forever remind me why I left everything behind.

I have been wanting to take her to Mirror Lake, Colorado for some time as I have taken our Boy Scout troop there before. We had to do a bit of mild 4WD to get there. Over 10,000 feet in altitude, and hardly anyone there during the week days. There is no light pollution, so the stars at night are bright enough to see by.

We found a campground just past Molas Pass at nearly 11,000 feet. One of Colorado's early snows had ended a few days before and the surrounding mountains were snow capped and beautiful. The next morning it got down to 27 degrees, and we loved being cold for a change.
