Napier Sportz SUV Tent with Screen Porch - Model 83000

The innovative tent on the left has four separate layouts and a screen porch attached to provide bug free dining and comfortable sleeping all in one tent; or remove everything and use the tent by itself in a traditional setup. If this doesn't quite meet your need, check out the many other models available including the one where you can conveniently set up and drive the vehicle away to explore the camping areas or go shopping for supplies or additional equipment, if necessary.

Finding the right camping areas

The National Park Service provides online up-to-date information on camping areas in National Parks and on federally-owned wilderness acreages.  Most are free or rented for modest fees.  And don't forget to check out camping areas with park fun for kids on your vacation; such as, the Whitman Mission National Historic Site. There they'll learn more about how to:

• Solve a puzzle
• Save a sand dune
  
• Play the  Mission quilt game
• Make a Patchwork quilt
  

There are camping areas to fit anyone's fancy and tents for every need including Sportz truck tents that allow you to sleep comfortably protected in the bed of your pickup. Go Camping America is a Website sponsored by The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds.  It lists a directory of nationwide camping areas along with their amenities and fees. Just enter the state or region that interests you.  Let us know what your favorite camping areas are.

 If you already know where you will be traveling, most chambers of commerce and area vacation bureaus promote local camping areas with camping services.  And if you think you have seen everything in a campground, one unique location, the Umpqua Lighthouse State Park in Oregon provides limited beach camping sites in the shadow of a historic lighthouse.
