FINAL VOTE: 2024 TCM Calendar Contest Finalists

After a highly competitive First Vote, the 24 finalist images have been revealed. From these 24, it’s time to vote for your favorite 5. We can do this fellow truck campers!

2024 Calendar Final Vote

It can be a harrowing moment for all of us when the calendar finalists are announced. Did any of our personal first-round choices make the cut? Of the incredible photos that did, how could anyone pick just five? They’re all so amazing!

Taxes are difficult. Finding that lost sock in the laundry is challenging. And there that Chinese finger trap your cousin had to cut off was insane, but this? Picking 5 photos from 24 is almost incomprehensible.

Fortunately, truck camper enthusiasts are cut from a special cloth. We’re not a tired bunch of towable and motorhome owners. We’re truck campers! We’re tough and focused. We never give up in the face of adversity. We go anywhere, camp anywhere, and tow anything.

We can pick five photos from 24 all day long. And just because we can, we do it once a year, every year. That’s what we do. That’s who we are. And nothing’s gonna’ stop us now. Let’s do this!

2024 CALENDAR WINNERS

All 13 calendar winners will have their winning photograph and the story behind their photograph featured in the magazine. The 13-winners will also receive a free 2024 Truck Camper Magazine Calendar. Finalist voting starts now and ends Monday, October 30th at 11:59pm PST.

Here are the 24-finalists from the first calendar vote in numerical order:

#035 - Steven OsburnNear Meadow, Utah2019 Ford F3502023 Northern Lite 10-2EXCamera Used - PhoneWe needed a place to break up our trip between Ely, Nevada and Green River, Utah.  We don't like to drive a lot of miles each day.  We found this small spring in the middle of a meadow near Meadow, Utah. It was a beautiful spot with mountains in the distance, and small fish in the pond. Sunset was an extra treat!

I awoke to a near white-out in the Jumbo Rocks Campground.  My next campsite later that day at Indian Cove was a winter wonderland where I got to build a Yucca-the-Snowman.

#048 - Jennifer JensenSpencer Hot Springs, Nevada2007 Ram 25002000 Bigfoot 10.6Camera Used - PhoneOur Bigfoot camper always looks great out in the wild boondocking. That's the main reason we bought a truck camper. After having a pull trailer and fifth wheel toy hauler it was time to get into the truck camper lifestyle. We love that we can go to some of the places we had already visited but get off the road any further and into small forest service campgrounds. Camping out at Spencer Hot Springs in the perfect spot for our camper. The night sky can't be beat. This photo was taken with my Samsung phone in night mode. I could take a million pictures out there. The Bigfoot just looked so great lit from inside with the snow capped mountains in the background. We try to make it out there at least once a year.

#063 - Martin KyselSalar de Uyuni, Bolivia2016 GMC Sierra 2500 HD2016 Palomino SS-1600Camera Used - Google PixelSalar de Uyuni is the biggest salt flat on the planet. We knew you could take good perspective shots so we came with lots of ideas. Some of them were bad and some of them were hilarious.  We decided to take a shot of a toy dinosaur attacking the camper. We dismantled the camper table for the swords. Needless to say, we are very happy with how the result turned out.

Our family consists of my wife and myself, and two young girls and they were both hungry by the time we found this place. It was lunchtime so we popped the roof and felt lucky to have such a marvelous view out our dinette window while we ate.

#085 - Matt MisickaSalmon Glacier, British Columbia, Canada2013 Ford F2502012 Hallmark UteCamera Used - iPhone SEOur first trip to Alaska got fully underway with the drive up the Cassiar Highway and a side-trip to Salmon Glacier. Our first glacier of the trip, Salmon Glacier really set a high benchmark for Alaska, and with the trip still in progress, it still remains one of the most beautiful, breath-taking, boondocking campsites we've ever experienced.

#110 - Anne Marie LewisMt. Shuksan, North Cascades, Washington2013 GMC Sierra 35002013 Eagle Cap 850Camera Used - Canon 5D Mark iiWe were boondocking nearby and had driven up into the North Cascade Mountains each day for several days in July. It was very cold with deep snow lingering on our hiking trails at the higher elevations. Every time we drove by this lake, Mt. Shuksan was shrouded in clouds. But on the third day, a brief period of sun revealed Shuksan’s summit and the glaciers spilling down its flanks. I rushed to the opposite side of this small lake to get the shot.

#157 - Zachary RobinsonBonneville Salt Flats, Utah1997 Ford F3501997 Bigfoot 2500 9.6BCamera Used - PhoneAfter exploring the Dinosaur National Monument on the Utah/Colorado border we drove west (on our way back to Oregon) and ended up staying on BLM land bordering the western edge of the Bonneville Salt Flats. Whenever possible, we boondock and rarely stay in a campground. Upon arrival we had 50+ mph winds coming from the north so I oriented the truck to face into the wind so it wouldn't rock side to side. After enjoying my daughter’s favorite camping dinner (grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup) we went outside to watch the thunderstorms coming in from the west. I grabbed a few photos of the camper. Luckily the storms passed us to the south so we were able to enjoy the view without being blasted with lightning.

We like to go here in the winter to enjoy cool nights and days dry camping in the rock formations.

At the end of my Canada trip this year, I was in Olympic National Park heading towards Mount Rainier to hike, but both Olympic (Kalaloch campground) and Rainier were getting rained out.  After 3 weeks of non stop traveling, hiking and mountain biking I needed some rest in a quiet spot for the night. I headed for Mount Saint Helens, but could not find a good place until I just decided to poke into this park and have a look. It was Seaquest State Park on the way to Mount Saint Helens. The park was barely half full, and so quiet it was like no one was there. The spot I took in the far back of the park had no one around. The surroundings were almost rainforest like; ferns, moss, and green everywhere. The light coming through the trees made everything around kind of glow. It also just happened to be 9-11-2023. Really nice park, and possibly the best spot I have had in a campground in a long time.  It was a good end to my trip.

#263 - Matt NelsonDeath Valley National Park, California2017 Ram 3502007 Arctic Fox 990Camera Used - PhoneThere is some fantastic dispersed camping in Death Valley National Park. This spot is on a road with designated sites, and requires a free permit from the rangers station to camp there. It is amazing how much color and textures the rocks in Death Valley have. Here's another early morning sunrise shot.You can catch my Starlink peaking its head up there too. With Starlink, I was able to spend a whole week working with full service, and exploring the park in the evening.

After passing several pullovers right off the road, we came down a small crest and saw a span of rocky shore about 100 yards away with beaten in truck paths. There was no one around; a perfect spot to boondock. Just as we set up about 20 feet from the ocean’s edge, we were treated with a spectacular colored sunset that reflected in the water.

It was a fantastic 8 Days. Other than the two days at Tuktoyaktuk we boondocked all the way there and back. When we were in Tuktoyaktuk Beluga whales came through the bay. We enjoyed it so much we are planning to go again in 2026. Overall, we traveled 19144 miles in 14 weeks.  Five weeks in Canada, seven weeks in Alaska, and two in the lower 48.

If we would have had a large Class C or a Class A we wouldn't have been able to make it since it had some tight turns and steep sections to the road. We camped in the Furnace Creek Campground and used Starlink during our stay. If you've never been to Death Valley, we highly recommend checking it out!

When this photo was taken a superbloom of yellow flowers was occurring due to the previous cool wet winter. In this photo I snapped the sun’s orange glow and last light on the desert after it had already disappeared below the horizon.
