#101 - Shay TrotmanMount St. Helens, Washington2026 Ford F-3502026 Outpost 6.5Camera Used - iPhone 16We camped in the subalpine south of Mount St. Helens. This was the first campsite we stayed at after picking up our new camper from PAD Overland in Oregon.

#102 - Ken SaumureWhiteface Mountain, Wilmington, New York2026 GMC Sierra2017 Cirrus 820Camera Used - iPhone 16eWe were driving the Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway on our way to the summit and stopped to enjoy the views. As we walked back to the truck, I noticed the truck and camper were perfectly framed by the scenery. I simply lève the black-on-black look of my camper with the truck. We were spending five days exploring the Lake Placid and Saranac Lake area.

#103 - Patrick PutlandNorthern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada1970 GMC K101966 AlaskanCamera Used - iPhone 14By this point, I had spent 20 days traveling in the Alaskan camper. We decided to find the most remote beach we could reach with our 4x4s. After five hours on single-lane logging roads, we discovered this secluded cove. As soon as I found a place to park, I jumped out to photograph the truck. It felt like we had traveled back to 1970, driving on the sand with no one else around.

#104 - Ashley LibbeeShafer Trail, Canyonlands National Park, Utah2004 Dodge Ram 15002026 Far OutCamera Used - Samsung Galaxy S25After our son finished fourth grade, we planned an epic 36-day road trip to 12 national parks. This photo was taken at the top of Shafer Trail, which turned out to be the last off-road adventure for our old truck. On the climb back out, she struggled for power and we pushed her to the limit. After stalling at the visitor center, we made a few roadside repairs and managed to drive all the way home to Maryland. She'll spend her retirement hauling our family of four on shorter, less demanding camping trips along the East Coast. If you drive Shafer Trail, we highly recommend staying at Dead Horse Point State Park instead of the Island in the Sky Campground for incredible dark skies and beautiful sunset views.

#105 - Tom RallsState Campground near Dubois, Wyoming2009 Chevrolet Silverado 25002005 S&S 8SC Montana BitterrootCamera Used - UnknownWe woke up to snow showers at this state campground outside Dubois, Wyoming. We were on our way to Jarbidge, Nevada, enjoying a road trip to experience the beauty of this incredible country.

#106 - Patrick PutlandCape Scott, British Columbia, Canada1970 GMC K101966 AlaskanCamera Used - iPhone 14This was a four-hour 4x4 drive along the many forest service roads of northern Vancouver Island. We arrived at an empty beach just as the sun was setting. It felt like we had been transported back to 1972.

#106 - Patrick Putland

#107 - Patrick PutlandNorthern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada1970 GMC K101966 AlaskanCamera Used - iPhone 14This was the last of three beaches we set out to find. We had the entire beach to ourselves as we drove down next to the water. Looking south, we were treated to an incredible sunrise. It was another amazing morning that felt like 1972.

#107 - Patrick Putland

#108 - Hunter Colley Wheatland, California2018 GMC Sierra 35001996 S&S 8.5 SC-BCamera Used - iPhone 13 ProMemorial Day weekend is the first time each year that we take out the jet skis. We were looking for a campsite close to the water, but nearly every spot was already taken by large groups with trailers. We found a small flat spot between two fingers of the lake and were able to drive right in. That's one of the things we love most about our truck camper. It fits into places that larger rigs can't. Camp Far West Lake was also the first place we took the camper after buying it two years earlier.

#108 - Hunter Colley

#109 - Michael HernandezBlue Star Memorial Highway, Klamath, California1999 Dodge Ram 35001993 AlaskanCamera Used - Samsung S24We got hailed out of our Lost Coast backpacking trip in April, so we changed plans and hit the road with no real destination. Starting in Southern California, we eventually made it all the way to Oregon. This photo was taken at a pullout in Redwood National Park.

#109 - Michael Hernandez

#110 - Roy BarrowWaKeeney, Kansas2021 Ford F-350 Dually2021 Lance 1062Camera Used - iPhone 14We were on our way home to North Carolina after picking up our Lance in Bozeman, Montana. This photo was taken late one afternoon at a wonderful Harvest Hosts winery in WaKeeney, Kansas. And yes, Kansas is flat!

#110 - Roy Barrow

#111 - Amber LehmannDouglas Lake, Tennessee2012 Ford F-2502026 Northstar OffroadaCamera Used - iPhone 14 ProThis was a two-night camping trip to Douglas Lake in eastern Tennessee at a Hipcamp location just a couple of hours from our home in Chattanooga. Although we had electric and water hookups, we spent Saturday testing our lithium batteries by running the 12-volt air conditioner. The sunset was incredible, and being in the right place at the right time allowed us to capture this beautiful view.

#113 - John WilcoxHealy, Alaska2026 Ford F-5502026 Arctic Fox 865Camera Used - Samsung Galaxy S24+We camped here for three nights just outside Denali National Park while waiting for our reservation at Teklanika Campground. We picked one of the wettest Julys in years to visit Alaska, and while it was a soggy experience, we were fortunate enough to join the 30 percent club and see Mount McKinley. That made it all worthwhile.

#113 - John Wilcox

#114 - Brett SaylesPerazzo Meadows, California2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Dually2021 Arctic Fox 865Camera Used - iPhone 16 Pro MaxThis is our go-to spot for a quick, last-minute camping trip. Perazzo Meadows is just north of Truckee, California, and only about 30 minutes from our house. It's public land, so there are plenty of places to camp.This photo was taken at sunrise around 6:30 a.m.

#114 - Brett Sayles

#115 - Dave WinansDeer River, Minnesota2014 Ford F-350 6.2L Gas2018 Arctic Fox 990Camera Used - PhoneWe camped in northern Minnesota during the fall and hunted for ruffed grouse.

#116 - Lori FullerStone Lake, Wisconsin2020 Ford F-3502000 Lance 1140Camera Used - Samsung Galaxy S25+This photo was taken over the Fourth of July at my sister's place in Stone Lake, Wisconsin. It's the family farm where my grandma grew up, married my grandpa, and raised their three kids. The farm is still in the family, and we continue to celebrate the Fourth of July there every year with our kids, grandkids, cousins, and friends.Storms rolled through earlier that morning, but the skies cleared just in time for us to relax by the lake with beautiful blue skies and calm water.This was only our second trip with the camper since picking it up in May, so we were still figuring out where everything goes and getting a feel for the setup. It's hard to beat camping on land that's been in the family for generations, especially with a lake view behind the truck.

#116 - Lori Fuller

#117 - Kim and Greg LitchfieldMonument Valley, Arizona2024 RAM 55002021 Eagle Cap 1165Camera Used - Google Pixel 9In April, we stayed at The View Campground in Monument Valley. The views were stunning from every angle, with incredible sunsets, stars, and clear skies. We explored the park in our Honda CR-V, which handled the roads without any issues.One morning, Greg woke up early and spotted the moon through the window. He knew he had to capture it behind Merrick Butte before the sun came up. Other campers soon came outside, but Greg held his ground and captured the perfect shot.

#120 - John WilcoxMcCammon, Idaho2026 Ford F-5502026 Arctic Fox 865Camera Used - Samsung S24+En route to Alaska, we spent the night on BLM land near McCammon, Idaho. The clouds made the view that much more interesting.

#121 - Greg HullEast Fork San Juan River, Colorado2017 Ford F-3502019 Lance 650Camera Used - iPhoneIt’s always nice when your friend’s driveway has a spectacular view. Here, we’re looking upstream toward the source of the East Fork San Juan River outside Pagosa Springs, Colorado. My camper is a comfortable traveling home and studio for my work as an artist.

#122 - Greg HullCoconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona2017 Ford F-3502019 Lance 650Camera Used - iPhoneWe found this perfectly level spot among towering ponderosa pines and wildflowers. We enjoyed having all the windows open and the natural air conditioning.

#124 - Michael BosmannBonneville Salt Flats, Utah2018 RAM 35002024 Northern Lite 8-11Camera Used - Sony A1This past June, I traveled from Washington State to Utah to help my daughter relocate. During the trip, we took a day to relax and drive out to the Bonneville Salt Flats. We had visited several times before, but the flats were always wet. This time, they were completely dry, allowing us to venture out onto the vast landscape and truly appreciate the incredible scenery.The Bonneville Salt Flats are located just off I-80 near the Utah-Nevada border, with easy access from the highway. If your travels take you through this part of Utah, they’re definitely worth a stop.

#124 - Michael Bosmann

#125 - Craig PalmerJedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, California2018 Ford F-3502018 Adventurer 86FBCamera Used - Samsung S26I'm in the middle of a two-and-a-half-month, cross-country, bucket-list, post-retirement trek that started in Arlington, Virginia. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in Northern California is the farthest point from home as I begin working my way back. I took this picture in the park's Simpson-Reed Grove to show my friends and family the incredible scale of the redwood trees.

#125 - Craig Palmer

#126 - Mike ShippyBrown State Fishing Lake, Hiawatha, Kansas2016 RAM 35002022 Northern Lite 10-2EXCamera Used - iPhone 17 ProWe were on our way back to Colorado from Michigan's Upper Peninsula and needed a place to stop for the night. We took non-interstate routes when possible, including US 36. Brown State Fishing Lake was a free campground not far from the highway and almost deserted. With no wind, the calm conditions made for a perfect picture. We were the only ones camping there that night. Yay!

#126 - Mike Shippy

#127 - Steven OsburnNile Lake, Washington2008 Ford F-3502015 Adventurer 86Camera Used - Digital cameraWe were on our way home to Poulsbo, Washington, after a trip to Northern Idaho. We decided to boondock at Nile Lake off Highway 20, and we were the only ones there. We found a grassy turnaround right by the lake, with a small pond beside us and daisies behind us.Despite some clouds and a few sprinkles, we made a wood fire and Nancy cooked dinner over it. Then we saw the sunset. It was amazing. The photo colors are not retouched in any way. Everything turned a shade of greenish orange from the reeds and grasses around our site and the orange sunset. It was magical.This was nine years ago, when I was still able to hoist a plastic tandem kayak onto the camper. Those days are gone, and now we have an inflatable kayak that rides in the back seat, but the memories live on.

#128 - Steven OsburnBase Camp Kennicott, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska2019 Ford F-3502023 Northern Lite 10-2Camera Used - PhoneWe drove the road to McCarthy, Alaska, to see the Kennecott Mines and camped at Base Camp Kennicott in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The flowers had all turned to seed pods and surrounded our camper, making for a pretty cool photo.

#129 - Steven OsburnValley of the Gods, Utah2019 Ford F-3502020 Lance 1172Camera Used - PhoneWe drove the Valley of the Gods Road in Southern Utah and boondocked here. We brought out our propane fire pit and enjoyed the quiet and the stars in this fabulous location, with the silhouettes of Rudolph and Santa Claus Butte, De Gaulle and His Troops, and Castle Butte behind us.

#130 - Charles CoushaineGrand Manan, New Brunswick, Canada2022 Ford F-5502012 Chalet DCamera Used - Insta360We were staying at a Boondockers Welcome site right on the water in Grand Manan, New Brunswick. The waterfront site was fantastic, and the rocky ledge made for a nice picture!

#131 - Daniel BruceSan Juan National Forest, Colorado2022 Chevrolet Silverado 25002023 Outpost 6.5Camera Used - iPhoneThis is one of our favorite spots in the San Juans. Five minutes after we arrived, it started to rain. Rain around here typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes, but this time it rained for three hours straight.The camper was cozy, so we read, took a nap, and had a snack. When the rain finally stopped, the skies cleared and this double rainbow appeared right over our camper.

#132 - Brent KaiserRadium Hot Springs, British Columbia, Canada2021 Ford F-350 Diesel2024 Palomino 1608Camera Used - Samsung Galaxy S21+This photo was taken on our first trip up Farnham Glacier Road near Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia. I've been coming to Radium for years, but we had never explored much beyond town. In the past, we camped in a tent and later a tent trailer. This year, we decided to take our truck camper and see what we could find farther up the road.We spotted Farnham Glacier Road on onX Offroad and thought,

Most of the other boondocking spots were taken, but we found this nice pullout on an old logging road with a great view of the reservoir.

#141 - Chris NagyEnterprise Reservoir, Utah2021 RAM 55002020 Eagle Cap 1165Camera Used - Google Pixel 9 XLI usually stay well off the beaten path, so finding true dispersed camping at Enterprise Reservoir in Utah this past August was right in my wheelhouse. I'm a big fan of boondocking in remote, high-elevation areas, and this spot offered the perfect mix of solitude and scenery. My truck and camper handle the rugged terrain well, allowing me to venture farther out.This photo was taken on a quiet, crystal-clear morning near the water's edge. The early light on the rig, with the rugged Utah landscape in the background, was too good to pass up. I grabbed my phone to capture just how peaceful and isolated this high-elevation campsite felt.

#141 - Chris Nagy

#142 - Chris NagyFluorine Post Office, Nevada2021 RAM 55002020 Eagle Cap 1165Camera Used - Google Pixel 9 XLTaking the rig out to the old Fluorine Post Office site was an unforgettable experience. I prefer to stay well off the beaten path, so the isolation was exactly what I was looking for. The rugged, exposed geology made it an incredible place for off-grid boondocking and exploring.The real highlight was the rockhounding. I had an amazing time searching for specimens and was thrilled to find pieces of fluorite in vibrant shades of purple and yellow.The exposed desert got pretty hot in the afternoon, but my solar setup powered the dual air conditioners and kept the camper cool. This photo captures the rig resting in that beautifully desolate landscape after a rewarding day of searching for colorful treasures.

#143 - Chris NagySan Felipe, Baja California, Mexico2021 RAM 55002020 Eagle Cap 1165Camera Used - Google Pixel 9 XLI found this fantastic little oasis in San Felipe, Mexico, while attending the NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally. While I usually prefer to stay well off the beaten path, this fenced-in RV spot offered the perfect mix of truck camping and resort comfort. The property included covered parking, keeping the truck and camper out of the intense Baja sun.The site also had a cozy one-room condo, a traditional palapa for outdoor living, and access to a community pool. It was the perfect home base for relaxing before and after heading out to watch the rally action.

#145 - David LindemeyerBuena Vista, Colorado2021 Ford F-2502013 Arctic Fox 990Camera Used - iPhone 13 ProWe had just pulled into camp for the weekend and unloaded our 1972 Ford Bronco for some trail riding. I looked up and noticed the sky behind the truck and the incredible mountain view, so I grabbed this photo.We went on to drive 500 miles of trails around the region. It was a great trip, and we loved staying in our camper there and along the way.

#146 - Eric RomeroLone Pine, California2017 Chevrolet Silverado 15002024 Outfitter Tire IronCamera Used - iPhone 16 Pro MaxWhile traveling up the Eastern Sierra, we stopped in Lone Pine to find some shade and let the dogs stretch their legs. We ended up backpacking along Rock Creek near Mammoth before camping in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park.From there, we crossed the state and camped in Big Sur, then hopscotched down the coast back to San Diego. We were on the road for three weeks, and the weather was perfect other than being a little toasty.

This photo was taken while we were literally inside a drizzly rain cloud.Having a truck camper allows me to tow my Jeep and still have a comfortable base camp.

#149 - Jon WrightDillon, Montana2022 RAM 35002022 Alaskan 8.5 CaboverCamera Used - iPhoneI was fly fishing near Beaver Creek outside Dillon, Montana, when I found this awesome off-grid campsite next to a small, crystal-clear stream. Before I pulled in, there were about 18 bighorn sheep grazing right where I parked the camper. I only wish I could have gotten a photo with the sheep and camper!

We stopped at a boondocking site in the Black Hills, just south of the highway.It was a beautiful day, so we detached our Ford Flex toad and relaxed in the shade. It looks like the middle of nowhere, but we were only six miles from town.

We were heading north, already roughly 100 miles beyond the Arctic Circle.At this point, we had been on the road for six months on what we called our Four Corners trip: Southern California, Key West, New York, and the Arctic Ocean. The Dempster Highway was especially muddy, but our camper kept us warm and comfortable.

#155 - Don ArnoldLake Mohave, Nevada2024 GMC Sierra 2500HD2026 Northstar OffroadaCamera Used - Samsung Galaxy S25 UltraWhile exploring the backcountry near the Colorado River, we found this spot on Lake Mohave east of Searchlight, Nevada. A slow eight-mile washboard road led us to a great swimming hole where my wife, Lisa, didn't want to get out of the water.Pit toilets are available at some locations along the river, but not everywhere. Our 600 watts of solar extends our stays, and Starlink keeps us connected in this remote location.At 250 feet above sea level, you don't want to be here in the middle of summer when temperatures can reach 115 degrees. Fall through spring only!

A few washboard roads lead to the river, but it's worth the trip.It's a great place to visit from fall through spring, but summers are too hot, with temperatures reaching 115 degrees. This is completely dry camping, eight miles off the main road.

After two days of bad weather and a fall while climbing a talus-covered peak to photograph Merriam Peak, I decided to head back to my camper.That day, I camped near Conway Summit, halfway between Bridgeport and Lee Vining. The stormy skies held overnight, and after a rough week of backpacking, I was treated to a fantastic deep red and orange sunrise from my base camp, the Arctic Fox 865.

Twelve miles from Hyder, up a dirt mining road, is the beautiful Salmon Glacier.Most visitors turn around at the popular glacier viewpoint, but a couple of miles farther, we found roads leading to old mine test drilling sites. We confirmed access on the onX app and made our way to this epic campsite about 100 feet above the east glacier tail.From our unique vantage point, we watched the glacier calve and listened to the sounds of the waterfall and cracking ice throughout the day. It was an awesome campsite to cap off our Alaska trip.

#176 - Lorraine BalineFour Corners Monument, Colorado2025 Ford F-3502025 Supertramp Flagship HTCamera Used - iPhone 16 ProWe were camping at Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. The park was great, but the kids were also excited about seeing Four Corners Monument, so one morning we packed up and headed there.Four Corners was certainly a fun photo opportunity, but the grownups were more excited about the Welcome to Colorful Colorado sign on the way back! It was one of the better signs we've seen, with plenty of room to pull over and take some camper glamour shots.Our Supertramp was born in Golden, and it was fun to get a Colorado camper picture with something other than our fantastic mountains and forests. Officially back in the state, we wrapped up our Mesa Verde visit and crossed off the fourth of Colorado's four national parks!

It was very peaceful, with no wind, bugs, or cows, and the site was flat!I found this BLM site while researching our route on an overlanding app before leaving home. It was a great find with beautiful views of the eastern Oregon high desert. We even considered spending another night but decided to move on.

#181 - David KielDago Gulch, Owyhee Canyonlands, Oregon2017 Ford F-350Phoenix Pop Up Campers Custom L2Camera Used - Sony Alpha 7 IVWe enjoyed a six-day overlanding adventure through the breathtaking Owyhee Canyonlands as part of our three-month fall road trip. The canyonlands are vast, wild, and remote, shaped by volcanic activity, wind, and water into a stunning, rugged landscape.We spent six days exploring a small section along the borders of Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada. On several days, we hardly saw another person, making it feel like our own private wilderness.While exploring the Leslie Gulch area, we hiked through several scenic side gulches. At Dago Gulch, we realized it would be the perfect spot to capture an early-evening galaxy shot before the nearly full moon rose over the tuff pinnacles and hillsides.This photo captures the moment the moon began to wash out the galaxy while casting a beautiful glow over the tuff pinnacles, hillsides, and clouds. A ten-second exposure at f/2.8 and ISO 3200 brought out the details in the foreground.

We entered through Dawson City, Canada, traveling along the Top of the World Highway.The night before, the skies opened up and poured buckets of rain for most of the night.

Many campsites are nestled right up against the towering red rock formations, and bighorn sheep often make an appearance.For this shot, we got an early start on a crisp, sunny winter morning when few cars would be on the park road. I waited at the top of a crest while the truck camper approached and snapped the photo at just the right moment!

#191 - Robert SchendelSalmon Glacier, British Columbia, Canada2019 Ford F-3502021 Palomino HS-8801Camera Used - iPhone 17 ProAfter retiring in May, I wanted to make the ultimate road trip to Deadhorse, Alaska, completing my quest to visit all 49 states you can drive to without putting your rig on a boat. I spent 59 days traveling 11,352 miles and camping in my rig. On the return journey, Salmon Glacier was a must-see after all the pictures I'd seen.Even after driving the Top of the World Highway, Dalton Highway, Denali Highway, and Richardson Highway to Valdez, with each view better than the last, nothing could prepare me for the surreal beauty of Salmon Glacier. Its enormity makes you appreciate just how small we are in this world.

After driving the Alaska Highway and Dalton Highway, the Denali Highway was a must-drive. It opened in 1957 as the first road access to Denali National Park, and I've always had a fascination with old highway routes and alignments.The 135-mile drive offered beautiful scenery, plenty of places to stop and enjoy the views, and abundant camping opportunities. The Maclaren Glacier in the background made this stop especially memorable.

The road starts west of Pemberton and climbs over Railroad Pass at 4,500 feet before descending to the small mining communities of Gold Bridge and Bralorne.I travel this route at least once a year because the alpine scenery is absolutely spectacular. It's a comfortable five to six-hour drive from Vancouver, with plenty of camping opportunities around Gold Bridge. I complete the route by returning to Vancouver via Lillooet and Duffy Lake Road.
