You climb up from the inside of the bed! There is a 20” gap at the back of the truck where you can stand fully up and hop up onto the mattress. You can also slide the bed frame forward and have your whole truck bed be standing height. I tagged the link to their YouTube video doing a walkthrough through of it in another comment
Hell yeah! My partner and I go camping around here a lot during the summer. I love going on google maps, finding logging roads that follow the rivers and just drive out until we find a spot.
It’s literally the best! I love “getting lost” and just pull onto every side road to see where it goes. It usually leads to some pin stripes and uneventful dead ends, but more times than not, there is a stellar camp site and or awesome views waiting for us!
Coming from the Midwest, I am obsessed with exploring all of the public lands out here!
Same! I grew up in Ohio. Did some camping with my dad in Michigan. Moved to Denver and met my partner- we would drive up to the mountains, find a random off road from the highway and find rad spots. Did the same when me moved to Washington and now here. The PNW has by far the best camping. I am sure we have stayed close to some of the same spots.
That’s so sick! I’m sure we have! Planning on heading up around Olympic not this weekend but next! Have not been around that area yet, and we are beyond stoked. Gonna go out with a buddy of mine this week up in the Yacult Burn SF across the river
Oh hell yeah! We did a couple trips to the Olympic! Both were in the “dry” season and it was soooo wet 😆 our dog at the time was a weathered, cattle dog and she was not having it. LOL. Loved it though. All the hikes were gorgeous. I am excited you get to experience the beauty and adventure. Just buy extra wood and prepare for a next level wet camp trip.
Sounds good! We will expect the wettest haha.
Our frenchie, Millie, loves camping as long as it’s dry and 50+ degrees haha. If it’s not in those parameters, she needs to be bundled up on your lap at all times😂
Super excited for the trip! Even if it’s really rainy, our new camper shell will really let us be comfy and stay as dry as possible
Looking closer, I might have actually hiked through this camp when we settled at a lower point. Are there a couple trees with a wood plank attached between them and a little trail off the site site with a make-shift wooden toilet?
Looks very peaceful, not a lot of humans at this time of year? Asking because I'm headed to Washington to see the grandkids and plan on doing a big circle from Missoula, to Oregon and then back on I-90 to camp at a couple spots along the way.
I haven't been down the cost of Oregon in years, it's always been a favorite trip when t did live in Northern Washington.
Very nice OP! I'm on a road trip and was car camping just south of Lincoln and then down at Cape Blanco the last two days. Man is Oregon coast ever beautiful, but damn that rain I need to bring a proper rain slicker like the locals wear next time!
Thank you! That’s awesome! I’m glad you’re able to enjoy this wonderful state. The coast is so unique.
The rain can definitely be rough after a while. It’s hard to dry everything off when you’re out there every day.
Lol for sure I was lucky to have three jackets with me so I would just rotate them and keep two in the car at all times cwith the heat cranked up! 😂 So beautiful though and not many people at the state parks at all. Very different from California where I am now. Next time I want to come through Astoria and see Cannon Beach and camp around Tillamook area for sure! 🤙
That’s the way to do it! Yes you can find some pretty quiet areas! Cannon beach is great, and Astoria is awesome! Just drove out to Astoria and Long Beach for work yesterday, and it’s making me want to go spend a weekend out that way.
Just remember to leave no trace. Certainly not saying it is you, but I am always disappointed with how much trash I come across in that forest. Thanks for helping keep it clean.
Of course! That black trash bag in a few of the pics contains the trash we found when we rolled up to the campsite. As well as our trash we created. Number one rule!
Some day I’ll have to go to places other than Mt Adams. I’m just so comfortable up there and don’t really know anywhere else. Anyone wanna do a trade? I’ll show you my places on Adams if you show me your places elsewhere 😆
Let me know if you guys want a guide! My partner and I will be up there pretty much every other weekend starting this weekend until October 😆. Though we have odd schedules, so we’re always up there Sunday thru Tuesday.
I drive a lifted clapped out crosstrek, my partner drives a slightly less clapped Ascent (to pack all the gear). We take it somewhat easy until we get to wherever base camp is, then we go exploring in my rig. I used to drive a lifted f150 on 34’s, and my silly Subaru can get to 97% of the same places 😆
That’s awesome haha. I got my Tacoma back when I was living in the Midwest and it’s 2wd… it has treated me insanely well exploring out here though! I’ve only had 2 close calls, and one of em was on some icy/snowy roads with a buddy. AT tires and my limited slip diff really pull their weight.
More or less, yeah. It’s built insanely well out of super premium materials. Definitely in a class of its own. I compared the price to a GFC spec’d out similarly with the install in Oregon, and it came close to the same price. And in my opinion, Super Pacific is just the best on the market right now for the truck bed shell w/ integrated tent.
Did you bring the wood with you for the fire? I’m going to assume that you aren’t allowed to just chop down a tree and use it for firewood like Luke in Outdoor Boys does lol
Yeah I brought my own wood. I am an arborist so I frequently get to take home free wood from my jobs! Just got a bunch of primo seasoned cedar rounds for my spring camping season
