#202 - Court LeveVernal, Utah2014 GMC 35002014 Arctic Fox 990Camera Used - iPhone 12I went on a solo 2 month bike trip in the height of Covid. I needed to get away from it all. The trip is one I will never forget. It was just me and the dog. At times, I'd go days without even seeing another person. It was wonderful. The trip turned into a major bike mission. I rode 56 out of 60 days, covered 1,200+ miles and over 120,000 vertical feet. It will be hard to duplicate the experience.

#208 - Miguel Oscar DiazEl Vado reservoir, Guadalajara province, SpainToyota Hilux, 2018Alu Cab Canopy CamperCamera Used - Canon EOS RThis area should be underwater in a normal year. In fact my GPS was showing that we were several meters under the water surface. By being usually underwater, this terrain is full of small pebbles that the water has moved from the slope to this flat.

This was the sunrise about 6am. This is our favorite destination along with the plain donuts from Wall Drug. Next stop Yellowstone.

#210 - Sandra Rice-NizlekPainted Hills, John Day National Park, Oregon2016 Ford F3502016 Northern Lite 10-2 EXCamera Used - SONY RX100 VIWe wanted to explore the John Day National Monument which is considered a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Oregon. This photo is taken en route to the parking area of the Painted Hills section of the park, which boasts a 360 degree panoramic viewing opportunity of the multi-colored rolling hills that make up the monument. Although the weather is normally quite nice in May, it was cold and windy that day, but since we keep gloves and mittens tucked away in the camper we were two of the few visitors that could enjoy the outing. And, the overcast conditions made for ideal picture taking.The nearest campground is about 40 miles from this site in Dayville. We stayed in a rustic woodsy RV park, the South Fork RV park, which is across the road from what appeared to be a very nice park, the Fish House Inn RV park. Both of these parks are about 10 miles from another must see area of the monument called the Sheep Rock unit, which also has its own unique amalgam of colorful strata and rock formations, reminiscent of the hoodoos in Utah, and has many great hiking trails.

#214 - Jake VettOregon Coast2017 Ford F1502021 Lance 650Camera Used - Google Pixel 3aThe first adventure in our long-awaited dream setup went way better than expected! I searched high and low for this exact truck - blue XLT Sport, super cab, 4x4, 3.5 Ecoboost, 10 speed, high payload. I replaced the rear shocks, added air bags and a rear sway bar.It's paired with a minimally-optioned 2021 Lance 650. There is no air conditioner, microwave, awnings, or other heavy, rarely used things for our mostly-dry-camping aspirations. We're used to ultralight backpacking so a hard-sided camper with queen bed, fridge, kitchen, and wet bath feels like the height of luxury by comparison!We had read about the plentiful boondocking spots along the central Oregon coast, so our typical meticulous trip planning was simplified to

He gave us a map of the BLM land bordering Fossil Butte National Monument which is where we are camped in this photo. It was a beautiful, scenic spot to spend the night.

This area is a habitat for Grizzly Bears, so there is no tent camping allowed. We didn't see any Grizzlies, only Brook Trout.

Cape Race is also the last light ships see as they voyage to Europe from North Eastern Canada and USA. It is a spectacular drive out to this point.

#226 - Jimmy KeltchIndian Boundary Campground, Tennessee2008 Toyota Tacoma2021 Palomino SS-500Camera Used - Phone Motorola SupraThe little truck that could. Growing up, I wanted three specific things to enjoy the outdoors with. I love nature and am an avid hunter and outdoorsman. Those three specifically were a Toyota Tacoma, a flat bottom boat and a truck camper. I never really had much growing up but the outdoors were special because it is the first place my dad, my uncles, and I got to really enjoy being together. So to say I’m blessed is an understatement. These little campers open so many doors that a big travel trailer can’t.

#227 - Robert HayesCape Lookout Lighthouse, North Carolina2006 Chevy Silverado 25002018 Lance 865Camera Used - iPhone 11Cape Lookout Lighthouse is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It’s a remote island in Davis, North Carolina with some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets you’ll ever see. There’s nothing like seeing the sun come up out of the water in the morning and watching it go down in the water in the evening. I was first introduced to this place in 2016 and been in love with it ever since. We usually try to head to the island 4 or 5 times a year. I love to fish and my fiancé loves to look for seashells. It’s a win-win for both of us. The island is only accessible by the Cape Lookout Ferry Service in Davis. The ferry service goes above and beyond to get you on and off the island. If you are looking for a different place to go on vacation, try Cape Lookout Lighthouse. You’ll love it.

#235 - Mike TumchewicsCanyon Flats, Kettle River, British Columbia2020 Ford F-3502021 Nucamp Cirrus 820Camera Used - Nikon D850This photo was taken on our very first outing with our new camper. Being newbies at the time we did not want to venture too far from home should we encounter any serious issues with our new rig. This location, alongside the Kettle River in the South Okanagan, is approximately an hour drive from where we live. It is a user maintained recreational site with minimal amenities (fire pit and picnic table), so it was a good test area for off-grid boondocking.

#236 - Margaret RhodesParry Sound, Ontario2014 Chevy 13002021 Northern Lite 8-11 EX LECamera Used - iPhoneWe were camping at the Parry Sound KOA celebrating our 40th anniversary. Our Baltic cruise was cancelled due to Covid, so we bought a new Northern Lite to explore Canada instead.

#237 - Daniela DiiorioBig Bend Ranch State Park, Texas2020 Ram 25002010 Capri Camper Retreat 8ftCamera Used - iPhone 8We camped at Big Bend Ranch State Park near Big Bend National Park and a snow storm came through during our last night. The temperature dropped, but we were cozy in our little camper. On our way out, we took this photo with the mountains in the background with snow all around.

#238 - Eric SvenssonSt. Mary’s Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana2015 Ram 35002005 Lance 981Camera Used - iPhone 12 ProWhen setting out to have our camper wrapped we went through thousands of options presented to us by wrap company and without realizing, chose Glacier Mountain National Park. While we were on our cross-country adventure this summer, another couple came up to us and said, “oh we had lunch their last week”. They were the first people to tell us where the photo on our wrap was originally taken. From that moment on our goal was to take a photo of our rig in the spot where the original photo was taken that became our wrap.

On the way back, we found this lovely boondocking spot in the Pine Pass. It is absolutely a perfect spot for a truck camper; a beautiful quiet evening with lots of wildlife. Truck camper paradise!

Well off the beaten path, which terminates on the Pacific coast, travelers must negotiate “ The Hill”; a steep gravel road with numerous switch backs and grades of 12% and greater. I used the exhaust brake, low range four wheel drive and the tow/haul mode to make the decent. This photo was taken near the base of the hill along the Bella Coola River.

#244 - Tanner WattsRimrock Lake, Washington State2015 Ford F3502020 Arctic Fox 990 LECamera Used - Canon EOS M50We camped at Rimrock Lake in Washington state on Highway 12. The lake was almost completely gone near us and allowed us to travel the lake bed around to the little islands. Snow, rain, and lows of 9 degrees were no problem for the 990! There are great campgrounds along the highway on this lake that allow for great access for fishing, hunting, relaxation and more! It is located in one of the best areas this state has to offer when it comes to public land and mountains. Fires and burgers and milkshakes at Silver Beach Resort are a must!

#246 - Steve HurdNear Moab, Utah2019 GMC 35002012 Northern Lite 10-2 RRCamera Used - iPhone XsIn looking and finding a good deal on some Torklifts, I made a spontaneous trip to Colorado to pick them up. On my return I turned off at Thompson Springs and drove a short distance south to find this location on a cliff overlooking a large expanse of desert. There was not another person in sight. It was the darkest and quietest night I’ve spent in the camper. The stars were incredible.

#247 - Tief WellerOcean City, Washington2015 Chevy 3500HD2021 Adventurer 901SBCamera Used - Samsung S20 UltraWe were camping at Ocean City State Park on the Washington coast, the campground is only about a mile from where this shot was taken. There are several access points where you are allowed to drive out onto the beach, and the great thing about a truck camper on a 4 wheel drive truck is that you can take advantage of the opportunity! A spectacular place to hang out for the day and fly the kite, play in the surf, build sand castles and everything else that the beach is great for. There is no camping allowed on the beach, but when you are tuckered out, it is just a short trip back to the campground for the night.

#250 - William JacksonSan Antonio, New Mexico2017 Ram Power Wagon2018 Northstar 850 SCCamera Used - Canon EOS 1DXWe went to visit the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Reserve. It was out of season to see the birds, but it was still a very beautiful reserve. We stayed at the Chupadero RV Park in San Antonio, a 10 space park that’s very well kept. We were the only ones there because of the season. The owner, Jose, was from Spain and his family had been there since the end of the 1800s. It started raining right at dark and rained hard all night. Jose called and came to check on us during the middle of the night which we appreciated. The monsoon storm made for beautiful photography and I took this picture of my camper.

#252 - Phyllis MotskoSmith River, California2016 Chevy Silverado 35002016 Bigfoot 1500Camera Used - Apple 6sWe found this sweet boondocking spot along the Smith River. It was a bit tight to get into; we needed to hold back a few branches on the way in, but scored a site next to a tributary of the Smith.

#253 - Scott PerkinsSandy Neck Beach, Massachusetts2017 Ford F-3502018 Palomino HS-2902Camera Used - iPhone 11I’ve been driving on the Massachusetts beaches for several decades. Now that we have downsized to a truck camper, we’ve become more mobile which has opened up more options. I’ve always wanted to camp on the beach at the water’s edge, so it was time. Both my wife and I have enjoyed the experience well beyond our already high expectations. We showed up, aired down and headed out to find we were the only ones there for most of that afternoon and evening until a couple more campers arrived.This picture was taken just after we chose our spot and started setting up for our 2 night stay. The weather was iffy, but we stayed dry, the rain avoided us through most of both days (late evenings were a different story). The picture is a wonderful reminder of how lucky we are and to have miles of the beach to ourselves (if only for a few hours). I can see it becoming a normal part of our camping journeys.

#254 - Steven GasserJasper National Park, Alberta2013 Ram 35002003 Adventurer 90FWSCamera Used - iPhone 12I have always wanted to hike the Wilcox Pass trail that takes you up above the Icefields Parkway opposite the Columbia Icefields. This campground is located just above the trail head. It has always been rumored that the campground is full most summer days. However, with the pandemic in full swing and travel not recommended, we felt there would be much fewer people on the road. We were correct, as there were only three other campers overnight that week. We were returning from a trip to Jasper, Alberta and planned to stop. I hiked the Wilcox Pass, which I had not done since I worked for Jasper National Park during the summer of 1973 as a student.A couple from Las Vegas, Nevada stopped in and talked to my wife while I was hiking (the US border having just recently opened). They had driven all the roads and checked out all the campsites and concluded that ours was the best one in the campground. They took the next best site next to ours. This is a great campground with great views, access to hiking and no services (other than a pit toilet and a water spigot nearby). We also had our first fire of the summer given that there were so many forest fires in western Canada and a fire ban until just the week before.

We got up early to catch the sunrise. I joked to my wife that one of us should get in the camper and stand up in the stargazer window. I moved a bit back to get a different angle for a picture. Then I noticed Jeanne was actually standing out the window with her arms raised! She actually did it! We sure enjoyed the fun of a beautiful sunrise in an amazing boondocking spot!

We generally knew the area that's north of Canyonlands National Park, and just took a road and then another until we found this site. As the sun was setting we took a few pictures and this was one of them. Gorgeous views and perfect weather. Didn't want to leave.

#273 - Rick KnightRoosevelt Lake, Arizona2011 Ford F-3502019 Arctic Fox 865Camera Used - iPhone 12The photo was taken at Theodore Roosevelt Lake in Arizona. It is a large reservoir formed by Theodore Roosevelt Dam on the Salt River as part of the Salt River Project. Located roughly 80 miles northeast of Phoenix in the Salt River Valley, Theodore Roosevelt is the largest lake or reservoir located entirely within the state of Arizona.I was fishing a Fire Fighter Charity Tournament and saw this spot near the lake’s dam. Prior to 2011 the road would take motorists across the the dam. Unfortunately after 9/11 that all changed and they built the bridge in the background of the photo across the lake in front of the dam.

We managed to snag the Candalilla Campsite, on Old Ore Road for one night and experienced the desert solitude and dark sky. Though our spot was just a mile or two from the main park road, it was very slow going for our big rig.

We found this spot at about 7000’, on a steep mountain ridge, just below the summit. We enjoyed a rare calm night, with great views. The following evening we were buffeted by strong winds and retreated to lower elevations the next morning.

After a few days in the National Forest outside of Red Lodge Montana we made our way over the Beartooth Highway to the northeast entrance of Yellowstone. The drive on the Beartooth was easily accomplished in our rig though there were a few moments when Nancy in the passenger seat did not want to look down. Beautiful drive on a beautiful day.

#277 - John PittsPeck Gulch Campground Lake Koocanusa, Montana2017 Ford F4502019 Lance 1172Camera Used - Apple iPhone XRAfter 2 weeks in Glacier National Park we wanted to explore northwest Montana. We'd heard about Lake Koocanusa and Libby Montana. Driving the Lake Koocanusa Scenic Byway from the north we pulled into Peck Gulch Campground to have a look. We loved it immediately. Our first night in the campground another truck camper had this site. They left the next morning and we moved in. The first 2 days in the campground smoke from the forest fires to the north and west obscured the mountains down the lake. Our second night a storm came through with some wind and rain and cleared out the smoke. We woke the third day to this scene with the angry sky overhead.

Glacier exceeded our expectations. We planned to spend a week in Glacier and camped in Apgar campground for 7 days. Wanting more of Glacier we moved the the east side and into Two Medicine Campground. Our first night in the campground we had a very tight campsite in the trees. Walking around the campground we found this site was going to be vacated in 2 days. We moved in and were rewarded with this spectacular view every day. Mountain goats could be seen on the mountain every evening.

#279 - Ralph McFarlandWhite Sands National Park, New Mexico2019 Ford F3502019 Northstar Laredo SSCamera Used - iPhone 11We were on a 3 month road trip across southern US. Our goal is to visit all 63 National Parks in the USA. We had left Guadalupe National Park and White Sands was next on the list. We camped the night before in the Lincoln National Forest outside of Cloudcroft, New Mexico. It snowed that morning so we had to drive down the mountain through the snow. We arrived at the park around 9 in the morning just at the sun started to come out. We had the park basically to ourselves which gave it a tranquil feeling. Just before we left around noon, a storm was heading towards the park creating more clouds. This park is surrounded by desert and sagebrush and then you come to this magnificent landscape.

We had just visited Monument Valley but most of it was closed due to COVID. So we detoured towards Gooseneck State Park where we camped for the night. The next morning we drove through the Valley of the Gods. This is a miniature Monument valley. We drove the 14 mile dirt rode which got rough in some spots, but every mile brought more photo opportunities. This is a great truck camper boondocking spot because there is not a bad view anywhere.

#281 - Jonathan PetersIsland Beach State Park, New Jersey2018 GMC 25002020 Northstar 850SCCamera Used - PhoneMy wife and I camped out for the first time right on the beach in Island Beach State Park with our fishing permit. Aired down our tires 15 psi to drive out on the beach and set up our fishing. Had dinner and had our fishing gear out and in the water as the tide came in. Took this picture at about 6:30 and then settled in for the evening. At around 8:00 PM the waves - driven by Hurricane Larry offshore - started rolling over the beach and under our truck. At 8:30, the ranger came by and asked us to relocate into a parking lot for the rest of the night. Fun day with lots of adventure and new experiences for us and our new camper!

#289 - KP PawleyReno, NV2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD2016 Four Wheel Camper GrandbyCamera Used - Pixel 4This is one of my favorite camp spots near Reno, NV. It's only about 10 minutes from home. My wife was out of town, so I went out around sundown to setup camp with a view of the city among the pines.I got out to see where to park for the most level spot, and left the door open. I looked back and the interaction of the light from the cargo lights and the mirrors, with the reflections of the sunset along the side of the truck and camper were extra special that night.

After a long day of driving, we rolled into GTNP and had to stop first thing and take a picture of the Tetons. I though it was a nice backdrop for a picture of the rig.

Mostly wonderfully rainy days and evenings made for some cozy reading and sipping time in the camper during that trip.

#293 - Bob GeletyBadlands National Park, South Dakota2019 Ford F3502018 Lance 825Camera Used - Canon M50On our travels from West Virginia to Montana, we stopped by the Badlands National Park. While there, we noticed how incredibly dark it was and thought it would be a great place to get a combination truck/camper/Milky Way photo. While taking a few photos, the Park Rangers were making regular trips up and down the road looking for overnight campers. I thought it could be cool to try a slow shutter image while they passed by which resulted in the light streaks over the road. We camped at a nearby KOA overnight and really enjoyed the incredible scenery of the area and the convenience the truck and camper provided us for the trip.

But the baked goods they sell there as well as the incredible scenery are worth the drive! We waited around for almost an hour for the car next to us to leave so we could get a clear photo of the truck and the mercantile.

While a little hazy from the forest fire smoke, the drive and scenery were incredible. There was no shortage of incredible locations to take photos of the truck/camper. The only challenge was picking one to submit!

#296 - Douglas SterlingBig Bend National Park2021 Ford F3502017 Host Mammoth CamperCamera Used - iPhoneTaken at Big Bend National Park on our trip out west in May of 2021. We were returning home from Pahrump, Nevada to our home in the Adirondacks in upstate New York, and decided to stop at as many National Parks on the way back as posable. For years we wanted to stop here, but were waylaid for one reason or another (mainly the pandemic last year shut it down the day we arrived). After getting here we found the weather to be 95 plus degrees with as much humidity. The best part was there was no electricity at he camp ground and they did not allow generators. There was not even a small breeze to help cool off the small camper. Needless to say, although it was a beautiful place, we decided that 2 days were enough and headed to the cool breezes of Padre Island. That's another picture.
