The evening this photo was taken was the beginning of a snowstorm on Mt. Hood. Camping is allowed at Sno-parks in Oregon with a permit. We had the place to ourselves as the snow started to pile up. It was magical. Needed chains and 4wd to get out the next morning.

#004 - Kris CassidyVenice, Florida2016 Ford F3502017 Wolf Creek 840Camera Used - Fuji XT-30We were on our annual Florida trip and ended up at a quiet spot near Venice. It turned out to be quite a bird sanctuary with several large bird species frequenting the area by the canal right in front of our rig. We were also able to take a beautiful Kayak trip right from our site on the Myakka river which this canal is a tributary for.

#005 - Joyce MillerKofa Wilderness, Arizona2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD 4x42019 Palomino SS-1240Camera Used - Samsung Galaxy s22 Ultra cellphone cameraThis was a long awaited adventure to the Kofa Wilderness. I've lived in southwest AZ for 2 years and had yet to explore the Kofa Wilderness. I set out to find a remote, quiet campsite, and that I did, along with the most gorgeous sunset imaginable. Just myself, a 58 year old woman and her two dogs, tucked away in the Kofa mountains. Not another soul for miles. Stars forever that night as well.

#009 - Alex LujanMount Bachelor, Bend, Oregon1996 Ford F2502001 Six Pac 150Camera Used - iPhone 14Every weekend I camp at my bachelor Oregon. Sometimes the weather gets interesting. The lighting was actually from a near by camper and I liked the lighting it gave off.

#010 - Joe FasbinderMount Rose, Nevada1993 Chevy Silverado 35001976 EldoradoCamera Used - Pixel 8 phoneKismet: I found a deal on the dually but wanted to find just the right vintage camper to go with it. A little water damage didn't bother me a bit. A sale at a storage yard led to this. Sadly, this rig blew an engine 100 miles from nowhere and I don't know where it is today.

#011 - Randy GrillJedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, California2017 Ford F4502024 Arctic Fox 1150Camera Used - Samsung phoneThe photo was taken on our maiden voyage. We picked up the camper in Oregon and decided to utilize our time away from home exploring the redwoods and coast. Being out in the state park with all our belongings is exactly why we live the idea of a truck camper.

#014 - Fred JudsonSan Felipe, Baja Norte, Mexico2004 Ford F2502007 Eagle Cap 950Camera Used - iPhone 13We drove into Baja and camped on the seawall at Club de Pesca RV Park. Having the ocean within 10 feet at high tide below the seawall made it nice to listen to while dozing off.

#015 - Elliott BucksReedMt Baker, Washington2005 Dodge Ram 15001999 PastimeCamera Used - iPhone 11This was up at Mt Baker around 2am. We arrived to the parking lot around 1am, covered in a blanket of snow, After driving from Anacortes and taking a ferry from San Juan island where we live. I try to go snowboarding almost every weekend with my son, and having the truck camper makes it much more possible. If we do a day trip, it’s six hours from the time we wake up, to the time we get on the mountain, so the camper eliminates that. We head up the night before, wake up to fresh powder if we’re lucky. This trip we got super lucky!

#016 - Kami GolembeskiBlack Hills Rockhound Area, Arizona2011 Ford F3502019 Northstar Igloo UCamera Used - iPhone 12Rosie the Big Brown Truck loves good views, free camping and sunsets! This spot checked all the boxes. And, the area is loaded with fire agates. It was fun to spend a few days exploring the area and searching for agates in the desert, like looking for seashells on the beach.

#018 - Mark MotskoMojave National Preserve, California2016 Chevrolet 35002016 Bigfoot 1500Camera Used - iPhone 13We read about a very primitive site accessible via a narrow dirt road requiring high clearance. We were able to locate the two track and after a bit of vegetation pin striping found this spot beneath this rock formation. The moon rise over the formation made for a interesting photo.

#019 - Mark MotskoNorthern Nevada2016 Chevrolet 35002016 Bigfoot 1500Camera Used - iPhone 13After five weeks of exploring Baja and the southwest, we needed to return home to Oregon. A series of winter storms affected our homeward journey and we needed to thread the trip between systems. This photo was taken north of Austin, Nevada.

#021 - Craig BeaudinSaline Valley, California2003 Toyota Tundra2015 Northstar 700SSCamera Used - PhoneHeaded into Saline Valley for an annual trip to a favorite hot spring. I have travelled this road many times over the years and am always amazed at the vastness of this area that stretches many miles in all directions. Besides the road, there are no other signs of civilization. I took the photo after coming through Whippoorwill Canyon so I could take in the view and let the pups run around for a minute. After that it was all downhill (not really) as the road goes from 7400' down to 1400' on the valley floor.

#022 - David ClockNear Mammoth Lakes, California2021 RAM 35002022 Arctic Fox 865Camera Used - Sony A7R5I spent most of last year (and again this year) on weekends traveling up and down eastern California scouting and photographing locations I need for a book I am writing; all black and white images throughout the Sierra Nevada mountains. I came to an area I have been at many times, both camping and passing by, always looking for the right light and conditions. On a late morning in early January while heading down to Alabama Hills for another photography/camping trip, I stopped again here and the conditions were really good for a shot I have wanted to get. I feel the drive is a really important part of my adventures in truck camping, so I am always looking for a good angle to captivate the viewer, to show what my camping adventures are like, without shooting through the front window. I think this image puts the viewer right there!

#025 - Robert RamosMorro Dunes Campground, Morro Bay, California2025 Chevrolet Silverado 25002025 Squire Lance SQ825Camera Used - iPhoneThis was our first trip in our new camper. We went to Morro Bay, California and stayed at Morro Dunes campground. Morro Dunes Campground is very nice and clean with nice restrooms and showers. The employees are very nice. I highly recommend this campground. It was a very nice trip. We were able to walk to the down town area which is about a quarter mile from the campground. There is a paved bike trail to town as well. The campground is right next to the beach so you’re able to see the ocean while eating in your camper. Also the beach is accessible by foot. We took advantage and went for a walk on the beach which was very nice. It was foggy early morning and sunny by 9am. The fog returns right before sunset.

#028 - Joel MorneauSt.Mathieu, Quebec2023 Jeep GladiatorSoaring Eagle OVX-5.0Camera Used - Samsung S22Winter conditions in Quebec often vary and the after-storm is always 100% exciting. Taking a ride just for the adrenaline and sensations makes for a satisfying day. When we have a 4x4 Jeep and with our auxiliary camper we can extend our weekend.

#034 - Robert HallockFort Worth, Texas2021 Chevy 5500HD2025 Host CascadeCamera Used - PhotoWe decided to upgrade our camper from a 2015 Eagle Cap 1165 to a Host Cascade. We are heading back to the east coast to spend time with family before getting back on the road. We have been full timers for six years now and just love traveling through North America. We went to the Truck camper rally in Quartzite, Arizona. What a great rally to make friends and learn new things. This is our second time attending the rally and we will continue to participate, God willing.

#039 - Bruce StarcherCamp Verde, Arizona2024 Ford F5502024 Rugged Mountain Denali 3SCamera Used - iPhone 14 ProAs relatively new owners of the rig, we love to take baby pictures of the Denali 3S. We were staying in an RV Resort after being off the grid in Joshua Tree National Park for five days. It was a full moon and the light that it was casting was amazing, with some haze in the sky that softened the lighting was also there. The camping spot was on a hill so a picture from as low as possible to create an aspirational look was selected. This was an brief interlude as we enjoyed the evening, the wine and each other.
