We stumbled across this amazing area for the night after looking for all of 20 minutes, with hand made stairs down to the lake, no service and no one around it is by far one of our nicest spots to date!

#431 - Tom ElliottSequoia National Forest, California07 Ram 25002018 Adventurer 80 RBCamera Used - Kyocera android phoneAfter a year of lock down we hit the road the end of April for a little over a month, from Oklahoma to the west coast and back. We stopped in Santa fe, entered the drawing for the wave in Kanab Utah, which we didn't get, lol. From there we traveled thru Zion National Park , then explored BLM land west of Zion, from there we camped at Great Basin National Park in Nevada which we found to be a very pleasant surprise having never been. Then we drove the valley of blowing sand to Carson City Nevada, where we found a nice lake to camp. From there we traveled to Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks, drove The Kings Highway, we ended up on the coast at Monterey and home again.

#432 - Kasie CoxJohnstown, NY2018 ram 25002007 Bigfoot 2500 10.5Camera Used - iPhoneWe were boondocking at a dairy farm in New York on a 2 week road trip through the New England area for our 10 year anniversary. We had no itinerary and we’re just winging it along the way. Hands down one of the best trips we have taken and we never would have been able to be so flexible if we were in a bigger (towable) rig. We spent the night up on this ridge overlooking the alfalfa field.

As we got to the top the fog and wind settled in so would couldn’t actually see anything but it was an exciting drive up!

#434 - Kasie CoxAdirondacks, New York2018 Ram 25002007 Bigfoot 2500 10.5Camera Used - iPhone photosSomewhere in the Adirondack mountains. We pulled off a scenic byway for lunch by the river. Fall was just ever so slightly starting to show up in the trees. Made for a great little lunch spot!

#435 - Derek HansenTurnagain Arm, Alaska2002 Ford F3502004 Lance 1010Camera Used - Nikon D7200The Seward Highway from Anchorage to Seward has some incredible scenery, especially along Turnagain Arm. It is not uncommon to see eagles, moose, Dall sheep, and beluga whales, along with the occasional bore tide sweeping up the Arm with some hardy souls surfing it. I especially enjoy hiking the many trails along the Arm on autumn evenings, when the setting sun makes the fall foliage glow. I parked at a random pullout along the highway on once such evening to look for a geocache and decided to climb the cliff across the road for this sunset shot with my camper rig.

#435 - Derek Hansen

#436 - Derek HansenElmendorf AFB, Alaska2002 Ford F3502004 Lance 1010Camera Used - Nikon D7200Elmendorf AFB has a small airfield with a gravel strip near Sixmile Lake on the back side of the base that is a good place for watching the northern lights. A truck camper is a great vehicle for aurora hunting because it is small enough to go anywhere and not be intrusive or attract too much attention, but so much more comfortable than sitting in a car all night, which is what most aurora chasers do. I parked among the planes one clear September night when the aurora forecast was promising, hoping for a great show. All I saw were a few faint green bands around 3 AM. But the morning dawned clear and beautiful and the fresh snow on the mountains with the fall foliage looked pretty good to me.

#436 - Derek Hansen

#437 - Derek HansenElmendorf AFB, Alaska2002 Ford F3502004 Lance 1010Camera Used - Nikon D7200Driving home one autumn morning from a night spent watching for the northern lights on the back side of the base, I came to this spot where the road descends down to Sixmile Lake. The mountain scenery reflecting in the still water looked amazing and I knew the truck camper calendar contest was coming up, so I pulled over and ran back up the road for this photo.

#438 - Al SchulzeBryce Canyon area, Utah2020 GMC Sierra2009 Host EverestCamera Used - Panasonic DMC-FZ50When you are exploring such great places such as Bryce Canyon, it is important to stop and look at everything from different angles to discover the beauty and brilliant colors that Mother Nature has to offer. Upon exiting my RV and walking a short distance away, I turned to see the bright red of the rock formation contrasting with the deep greens of the foliage and enhanced by the beautiful blue sky. All I had to do was to put all of them together with my truck camper and here is the result.

#441 - Clint BrownDestin, Florida2021 Ford F3502019 Palomino SS-550Camera Used - iPhone 10This pic is day one of ownership. We had been looking for a truck camper that would fit in bed of truck without tailgate removal. Without wanting to wait for several months for a new one we found this slightly used 2019 in Destin, FL. My wife and I took off work and made 5 hour drive from Louisiana to pick it up. The main reason we wanted a truck camper is for our fishing adventures that often mean waking up at 2:30 am to drive to our favorite fishings spots. Having a truck camper that allows us to pull our boat and overnight will make sure we get the rest we need for a great day of fishing. We also are planning a future trip out west to the Rockies.

#442 - Brandon HartwigYosemite, California2017 Ford F3502020 Northstar Laredo SCCamera Used - PhoneThis was the first time pulling in to the valley of Yosemite national park. Knowing the climbing history being the birthplace of American climbing the experience was incredibly moving. Thousands of feet of sheer granite walls, perfectly clear mountain streams and virtually no tourists due to quarantine, I had the valley to myself. I camped on state land outside of the park on a river and drove in every morning to try my hand at climbing the legendary walls. In the evening as the sun set the walls glowed gold as the valley grew dark. This place like so many others has captivated me and is regularly calling me back.

Most of the trail you can not pass two vehicles side by side. We are at the trail head for Handies Peak in the San Juan Mtns. The next day we hiked to the summit at 14058 ft.

#447 - Robert BirdseySeboomook Road, Seboomook Maine2017 Toyota Tacoma,1989 Jayco L7Camera Used - iPhone 10Seboomook Wilderness Campground is located on the north shore of Moosehead Lake in northern Maine. I’ve been coming to the campground for the past two years. It takes 8 hrs (336 miles) to travel from my home in New Hampshire to the campground. The pavement ends 32 miles from the campground and the dirt road can be rough since logging trucks also travel the dirt road. The campground has been in operation for many years, having both cabins and lake front camp sites with a lean-to, with water and electric, or no connections. Columbus Day is the start of Moose Hunting season so the campground was very busy. The weather was great, 60s during the day and low 40s at night. I spent one afternoon walking several miles along the shore line of Seboomook Lake which is slightly north of Moosehead Lake and the campground. I didn’t hear or see anyone all day long. The photo was taken on the Seboomook Dam Road.

#452 - Marci WilliamsGreen River, Wyoming2018 Chevy Silverado1994 Shadow CruiserCamera Used - CanonWe traveled up a washboarded dirt and mud road up to green river lake. Half way up we decided to stop and boondock along the green river because there were cows all over the road. It was one of the most beautiful places we’ve camped. The coyotes howled all night and the stars were unbelievable. Nothing better than being able to take that truck camper where no one else can go with a big camper.

An early season snowstorm closed down the road at this point so it made for a good spot to turn around and take an image of the camper with the North Pillar of Mt. Timpanogas in the background at an elevation of 11,441’.

Park rangers didn’t recommend taking a Duelly rig further East. It was slow going negotiating the dry washes and “pinstriping “ brush, but the views and solitude was worth it. I did raise out bike rack before our next trip!

#471 - Eve ThorntonRockville, Utah2008 Dodge Ram 35002017 Cirrus 820Camera Used - iPhone 11 Pro MaxI was on a road trip to Zion and Canyon Lands as an early birthday present to myself. I had just finished a full day in Zion and I was using the App FreeRoam to look for a campsite for the night. I picked a site called BLM Night Sky and attempted to take my truck camper, fondly known as The Beast, for her first big 4x4 adventure up some pretty rough roads to get there. Unfortunately, the road got a little more intense than I was prepared for and I ended up backing down to the big wide cutout in the picture and calling it a night there. It was a perfect spot to watch the sun set, hangout with my dogs and take in some really beautiful stars that night. Probably one of my favorite nights spent in my camper so far!

The exhibits at the visitor center are amazing! Then we drove to the first of the three units at the monument. The views are also amazing! This monument is the only place that has layers of fossil beds spanning the entire 50 million years of the Age of Mammals. This photo shows one of the mountains and its layers. We had stopped here to hike a couple of the short trails in the area.

This monument is the only place that as layers of fossil beds spanning the entire 50 million years of the Age of Mammals. This photo shows part of the Painted Hills Unit where we hiked through different colored mounds (red, green, gray) created by different minerals in the soil.

We we lucky to find a beautiful campsite at Farewell Bend Campground in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Our campsite was on the Rogue River and surrounded by trees. Unfortunately, the smoke was very heavy from all of the forest fires in Oregon and northern California. We could smell it and it was visible all the way to the ground. But this didn't stop us from enjoying the river and the national forest! The smoke also almost totally obscured Crater Lake, but we still enjoyed out visit there.

My wife and I have boondocked here a couple of times in the past. The river is between the Camper and the canyon wall, so you can hear the river flow. No cell phone service in most of the canyon, an added bonus! Our prior stop here in July 21, we stopped for the afternoon, in a summer thunderstorm, to take a break and fix dinner. When we got back, on the road that evening, we discovered flash floods had closed the canyon a few miles each side of us....so back to our spot, and camp until the road was opened the next day. One of our favorite overnights, not a single vehicle passed, no cell service, and a beautiful night!

But, once we saw the sunset forming, we knew we had to see what developed, so we slowed down to enjoy the evening. It was worth the wait!

After a rainy morning in Silver Bay and Split Rock Lighthouse, we stopped at rainy Two Harbors to enjoy lunch in the camper. As we finished, the rain paused, the clouds lifted and we got a glimpse of our first Laker, the MV Walter J. McCarthy docked across the Bay. The first of several days watching the Great Lakes freighters at Duluth!

We spent the night camped all alone just outside the park boundary on BLM land, watching a beautiful full moon rise over the park. The next day we drove another 10 miles in the park before meeting up with the main, paved road. It was a great way to start the day in one of our national treasures.

It is less visited than Zion and the others, but well worth the time and is a great stop being centrally located in the region.

It was the second trip out with our Avion after almost 3 years of dreaming, planning, and restoration. We had camped at Bear Brook State Park in New Hampshire, and we’re driving across Vermont hoping to make the New York border by nightfall. “Hey, did you see that cool covered bridge?” “Yeah, take the next right-turn and maybe we can loop around drive through it!” A few minutes later we found ourselves at the back side of the covered bridge, the clearance looked good and we were well under the posted weight- still we took it pretty slow.

Instead of the forecasted 5-10” of snow in Yellowstone, we saw about 4-8” in Utah. That’s a win!This photo was taken at our campsite in the Watchmen campground, later that week, within Zion National Park. It was a last minute booking, and one of the few still available.Once we arrived the sun was setting and it kicked off a great visit to the park!
