One of the best parts about having a Four Wheel Camper is the ability to camp in remote regions, far from maintained campgrounds and RV parks. Our campers are built for those magical, off-the-grid adventures where you must rely on your own equipment & expertise. Many times, these adventures include camping on public lands, such as national forests, national recreation areas, or BLM land.  The term ‘boondocking’ is also referred to as ‘dispersed camping,’ which is a term given to camping on public lands outside of designated campsites.

Known online as Two Happy Campers, we’re Mark & Michele, photographers and full-time nomads for the past five years.  Our story starts back in 2012 when we bought our Four Wheel Camper Hawk shell.  We fell hard and fast in love with our camper that year and living on the road full-time quickly became a dream that we couldn’t shake.  While we didn’t waste any time chasing that dream, it took a lot of trial and error to strike the perfect balance between comfort and adventure. At the time we had the belief that there was no way we would want to try and downsize from a house to just the truck camper for full-time living.  Thus began our goldilocks Read More…

Dogs love to make themselves at home in our pop up truck campers, and hitting the road with your furry best friend is often a dream come true.

If you’re planning a trip to a national park in 2025, it’s important to be aware of new and ongoing entry requirements. In an effort to manage increasing visitor numbers and protect the natural environment, several popular national parks have implemented reservation or timed entry systems. Entry permits and requirements started becoming popular across national parks after the pandemic when a surge of travelers started heading to open-air locations for vacation.  And as much as we love to see an influx of travelers enjoying the great outdoors, it has made visiting certain national parks a bit more difficult!
