#203 - Kevin ButlerDuffy Lake Road, British Columbia, Canada2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD2008 Bigfoot 25C9.4Camera Used - iPhone 15 ProThis photo was taken in the alpine along Duffy Lake Road. The Duffy is a dramatic 130-kilometer drive on a winding, narrow paved road connecting the communities of Pemberton and Lillooet, British Columbia.Heading north, the road climbs from the Pemberton Valley through the glaciated mountains of the Cayoosh Range before descending into the dry canyons of the Fraser Plateau. It's an incredible transition from the green, wet Coast Mountains to the dry, semi-arid canyons and desert-like conditions.I finish the loop by heading back to Vancouver over the rough, dirt Hurley Road.

#213 - Brady LampertGrand Teton National Park, Wyoming2024 GMC Sierra 25002026 Outpost 6.5Camera Used - Sony Alpha 7R VIThis photo was taken in Grand Teton National Park after climbing the Middle Teton. We had been using our truck camper as a little base camp while exploring the park, driving around to different spots so I could put my new camera to use.We pulled off the road at this spot and decided to stop for the evening, cook some dinner, and watch the sunset. It ended up being one of those completely unplanned moments that turned into one of my favorite photos from the trip.The Tetons have always been a special place for me. My dad first brought me here when I was ten years old, and I've been coming back ever since. Being back in the Tetons after climbing one of the peaks and spending the evening by the truck watching the sunset felt pretty full circle.This photo is a reminder of why I keep bringing my camera along in the first place, to document the places and experiences that mean something to me.

It was the perfect rig for our adventure. We loved the simplicity of it.We drove through the upper United States and entered Canada from Montana. We explored Banff and Jasper National Parks and made the long but beautiful drive to the Dempster Highway and Tombstone Territorial Park. We hiked the area and took in the breathtaking autumn scenery. The orange, rust, and golden colors were spectacular.We had never felt so isolated as we did that night. Just the three of us, our faithful truck and camper, and the untouched wild.We entered Alaska through the northernmost border crossing. Our travels took us to Chicken, Denali, Homer, Talkeetna, Seward, Valdez, Whittier, Hyder, and everywhere in between. It was quite the adventure, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat.We still have the same truck and camper. They have taken us through Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana since then.

We stopped at the Craters of the Moon campground and found the most epic campsite. Right outside our door were the coolest lava formations.This park was so interesting, and this campsite was so cool.

We had just returned from a trip to Moab, Utah, with some Jeep Willys friends who recommended we check out the Truck Camper Jamboree.We decided to go on a whim and made memories with other truck camper enthusiasts.

#231 - Mike ArnoldHappy Jack, Arizona2007 GMC Sierra 35001990 Lance LC980Camera Used - PhoneThis was a solo hunting trip where I met up with some friends. When I arrived, there was no snow, but the ground was wet because it had rained the entire drive in. I ended up getting stuck at camp, so I decided to park and stay put.As the night progressed, it started snowing and the temperature dropped. My propane bottle froze up, leaving me without heat. Thankfully, my wife had packed some extra blankets. I survived the night and woke up the next morning to find my truck and camper covered in snow.

#232 - Tommy MetzgerGrove of Titans, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, California2025 Ford F-3502023 Cirrus 820Camera Used - iPhone 17 ProI started traveling full-time in my truck camper in April 2026, and I am on a road trip to see all of the national parks. I spent two months in California this summer, and this was my last stop before heading into Oregon to go crabbing with some friends for the first time.I came from Lassen Volcanic National Park and only had a day and a half to see the redwoods between work. I didn't realize how spread out the redwood national and state parks were, and unfortunately, I came west right through the middle of the parks.With my short schedule, I would have had to give up several sights to drive south to the Avenue of the Giants. I really wanted to find somewhere else I could get up close and personal with my truck camper without heading in the wrong direction.The Grove of Titans was the perfect opportunity to do just that and ended up being my favorite part of the parks. I spent an afternoon hiking, taking photos, and having lunch underneath the redwood canopy.

I spent two months in California this summer, and this was my first stop.It was beautiful and in the 70s the first day I got here. The weather changed quickly, and I stayed until temperatures reached the mid-90s and it became too hot to camp without utilities. I wish I could have stayed longer.This is the spot where I camped at Hidden Valley Campground inside the park. I saw several coyotes and foxes in the campground, and the stargazing was amazing. I worked in the mornings and spent my afternoons hiking and bouldering the endless rock piles throughout the park.

#235 - Cindy CompertBenton Crossing, California2026 RAM 55002026 Kingstar KRUZR 10Camera Used - iPhone 15 ProSince 2020, my partner Kevin and I have traveled over 130,000 miles across North America with a Jeep and off-road trailer. In 2024, after a cold, rainy, and buggy summer in Alaska, we decided to upgrade to a truck camper so we could travel in comfort and tow a boat.After two years of research and looking at every camper from budget pop-ups to $600,000 expedition rigs, we decided on a 2026 Kingstar KRUZR 10 and a 2026 RAM 5500 chassis cab with a custom flatbed and storage boxes from Alum-Line. It took over six months of work to get everything ordered, configured, and delivered, but we are thrilled with the result.This photo was taken at Brown's Owens River Campground, which sits in the heart of the Eastern Sierra. The evening I took this photo was the first night of our trip to pick up our new fishing boat on the way to Vancouver Island for the summer.The glow of the sunset reflected in the camper matched our excitement at finally achieving our goal of having a rugged yet luxurious home away from home.

#241 - Cindy GilbertTucson, Arizona2011 GMC Sierra2011 Northern Lite 10-2Camera Used - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3David and I were staying in northern Arizona for the winter and decided to take a road trip to visit family in Texas. Of the many reservations we made, we pulled into this RV park near Tucson, Arizona, for the night.It was around 7 p.m., and the timing looked just right for a camper and moon photo-op. We don't take that many pictures, unless they're of my cat Maverick, but I like how this one came out.

I was there for two weeks, and having the truck to explore the logging roads was great.I drew a crowd as I was putting it back on the truck and felt the pressure!

It looks like an AI photo, but it's very real, and apparently there are much larger versions out there.On my way up to Alaska, I stopped in Atlin, British Columbia, for a few days of exploring. I found an old gold mine and couldn't resist jumping in for a photo beside one of these beasts. Pretty impressive.Atlin should be a must-stop for those going north. Great people, exploring, and unbelievable views. A hidden gem.

#245 - Ben WelchTop of the World Highway, Alaska2015 Ford F-3502022 Capri RetreatCamera Used - Samsung Galaxy S24The year started like most other years, preparing our small family-owned business, Canyons of Escalante RV Park, for another season. We had no idea what the summer of 2023 had in store for us, and we wouldn't have guessed it involved an epic opportunity to go to Alaska.We logged thousands of miles on this road trip, experiencing different microclimates and viewing wildlife in its natural habitat, only disturbed by us. We camped in our customized Capri, which needed to sleep two adults, two children, and an abnormally large dog, along pristine rivers and under the shadow of amazing mountain ranges. All the while, we learned more about each other and shared this journey of life together as a family. Epic!Shortly after crossing the Yukon River via the George Black Ferry, we traveled along the Top of the World Highway to this scenic overlook, officially entering the great state of Alaska.

#246 - Ben WelchNorth Pole, Alaska2015 Ford F-3502022 Capri RetreatCamera Used - Samsung Galaxy S24We did not set out to see the North Pole or visit with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, but when you're on an epic road trip, you drive by things you just have to do.It was the summer of 2023, and an amazing opportunity unfolded for our little family to visit one of the last wild places on Earth, Alaska. In a normal year, we are busy running our family-owned RV park, Canyons of Escalante RV Park, near Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah. We host other adventurers as they journey through the amazing Southwest desert visiting iconic landmarks along the way.We experienced this once-in-a-lifetime road trip in our customized Capri camper, logging thousands of miles and millions of memories along the highways and byways. We visited inland treasures like Denali National Park, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, and even the Gulf of Alaska via a marine tour out of Seward. Epic!A must-stop at the Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska.

We are in the beginning phase of building out a truck and planning to travel the Pan-American Highway, so we decided to take a month-long tour back down Baja to test the new build, including the F-450, lift, super singles, and new truck camper.We circled back to a few of our favorite beaches and places from the 2019 trip and found a ton of new ones. The beaches, sunrises, sunsets, and cold beers and margaritas will have us returning again soon.

It's our second favorite place to take our truck and camper. It's quiet, serene, and absolutely breathtaking.The joy of this area of the Rockies is that it's Crown land camping, so the best campsites are down the less-traveled dirt roads, through some cutlines, and right on the Athabasca River.

#250 - Ben WelchMoab, Utah2015 Ford F-3502022 Capri RetreatCamera Used - Samsung Galaxy A57While on the long voyage back to our campground, Canyons of Escalante RV Park, the skies began to darken as evening arrived. With the possibility of thunderstorms rolling in with the wind, we thought it might be better to spend the night somewhere close rather than continue driving in the dark.We settled on BLM land near Moab, Utah, and to our astonishment, it was one of the best places we could have chosen. The valley stretched far across the barren land, with mesas, hoodoos, and rocky outcroppings behind our Capri camper. The sky brightened with the coming storm. That night, we enjoyed the rain and continued our adventure in the morning.

At that time, we were on a road trip across Europe, first to the southernmost point in Greece and then to the northernmost point in Norway that can be reached by RV.We were in this area for seven days and were lucky enough to see amazing northern lights quite a few times. This was the first year of COVID, and we were very often alone in the most exciting places.

What a memorable evening!

#259 - Karen DaviesSaskatchewan River Crossing, Alberta, Canada2024 Ford F-3502026 nuCamp Cirrus 820Camera Used - Google Pixel 9 ProJust over one month into our trip to drive the Pan-American Highway, we found an idyllic camping spot on Alberta Crown land just outside the Icefields Parkway National Park area. The spot ticked all the boxes for my perfect location, with a turquoise river, snow-capped mountains in the background, and solitude. We were the only ones in the campsite.The previous evening was the first in a while where it had been warm enough to sit outside and truly enjoy our surroundings. We naively didn't believe the forecast of snow. The next morning, not only did we wake up to our first dusting of snow, but we were greeted with the most spectacular sunrise.It was a truly amazing start to the day and, just over six months into the trip, it is still one of our favorite camping spots.

We were trying to see as many national parks as possible before heading home.It was overcast and cloudy, but luckily it cleared up as we got closer to the visitor center. We pulled into a vacant parking lot, parked with the peak as the backdrop, and got a few photos. It clouded over again as we were leaving, so the timing was perfect.

Many of the campsites are nestled against towering red rock formations, and the views of the unusual landscape throughout the park are incredible.For this shot, we were lucky to snag a campsite with a huge boulder seemingly teetering overhead. At night, with the backlights making the surreal rocks glow, it was easy to imagine we were camping on another planet!

A late start and a wrong turn left us changing our stop for the night to Crested Butte, hoping that dispersed camping was available.Even though it was a Wednesday, the aspen leaves were popping, and I knew better than to think the chilly 36-degree morning temperatures would keep leaf peepers at bay. As we rolled down State Road 12, we found all the choice spots taken.I finally broke down and settled for neighbors for the night at a spot overlooking a stream and some aspens that were in full fall glory. While we were still setting up camp, the clouds broke just enough to light up the mountainside aspens.I had my good camera still packed away in the truck camper, but luckily I had my phone and snapped a few shots with a calendar submission in mind.

Because I live in Wisconsin, it can be a longer drive, so this is my favorite spot to stay overnight on the way north.This campground has amazing views of Lake Superior from almost every area. I love how the truck camper can fit in almost any spot and make a camping trip so easy. We popped up a Quick-Set shelter to accommodate two more people in our party.

It had rained for three days before we drove the road, so there was plenty of mud to add some extra shades of brown to the truck.

After surgery, recovery, and a whole lot of reflection, we decided life was simply too short to keep putting our dreams on hold. We made more of an effort to incorporate travel into our lives while still working full-time.We loaded up our truck camper, left North Carolina behind, and headed across the country on our very first cross-country adventure. We had no idea just how many incredible places, breathtaking views, and unforgettable memories were waiting for us.We boondocked in some absolutely beautiful places along the way, but the Badlands was definitely one of our favorites. There was something special about waking up surrounded by that rugged landscape.This picture was taken with a cell phone on September 15, 2019, back when cell phone cameras weren't nearly as fancy as they are today. No filters or fancy photography equipment, just two people, a truck camper, an incredible view, and the realization that we were finally living the dream instead of just talking about it.That trip changed something in us. It taught us to stop waiting for the

I had been spending the day driving around Kebler Pass and Ohio Pass, stopping whenever the clouds, light, and aspens came together for a good photograph. It had been raining for nearly eight hours straight, which made for a pretty wet day, but it also gave the landscape a completely different feel.At one point, I pulled off the side of the road after spotting a family of moose nearby. While I was stopped, I looked back at our truck camper sitting in front of a wall of bright yellow aspens and realized it made the perfect foreground. I grabbed my camera and captured the scene.It ended up being one of those photographs that wasn't really planned. The kind you only get by being out there, driving around, and being willing to stop when something catches your eye.

Sometimes the rough road is just part of the adventure. I am almost hesitant to share the photo because this place feels like one of those local secrets that has somehow stayed quiet, with breathtaking views in every direction.We happened to be there during the Green River cattle rotation, when the herds were grazing throughout the valley. Watching cattle graze beneath those mountains was such a cool glimpse of Wyoming ranching and the American beef industry in a landscape where it has been part of life for generations.Between the cattle, the river, the mountains, and our little truck camper tucked along the water, it was one of those places that made the long, bumpy road completely worth it.

We were making our way toward our first stop when we happened to pass Goldeneye Reservoir outside Casper and watched this storm roll across the plains. Coming from Texas, the storms somehow hit a little differently up here, nearly a mile higher than home, with nothing but wide-open country and sky in every direction.We pulled over and got a front-row seat to an absolute show. A beautiful reservoir beside us, pronghorn wandering nearby, and this massive Wyoming sky putting on one of the best welcomes we could have asked for.The Lance handled the wind like a bull, and once the storm passed, we were back on the road toward our next adventure. It was one of those completely unplanned moments that ended up becoming one of our favorite memories from the trip.
