Few roads in America capture the history, nostalgia, and spirit of adventure like Route 66. As we celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2026, we want to hear about your truck camping experiences along this iconic highway.
Established in 1926, Route 66 stretches from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, and has long been known as the “Main Street of America.” For decades, it has guided travelers west in search of opportunity, freedom, and unforgettable experiences.
Today, Route 66 continues to capture the imagination of road trippers, and it’s especially well-suited for truck campers. From quirky roadside attractions and historic towns to wide-open desert landscapes and hidden camping spots, there is no shortage of memorable stops along the way.
