Off Piste Camping for the Wilder Spirit

It’s probably time to start with a confession. When we talk of camping we normally mean sleeping in tents. The tents might be luxurious family tents with multiple living areas and bedrooms that you need a hefty truck to transport. Or they might be the incredibly twee ultralight models specifically designed for backpackers. The latter are great for hikers and backpackers that want to wild camp wherever the mood takes them.

There is a side to us that would dearly love to be able to take all the comfort of the larger luxury tents deep into the outback well off the more beaten trails.

Now you can with this range of wild campers. These incredibly tough, off-road, adventure RV/Campers are brought to you by Matt Alpert from GriffinsGuide.com. Just be warned - falling in love with one of these machines could be very expensive!

10 Incredibly Cool Adventure Campers You Wish You Owned

By Matt Alpert

These are 10 of the most awesome adventure campers ever made.

If you want to go car camping in the wild — the real wild — your Toyota Camry is not going to cut it. No my friend, you’re going to need something with some more chutzpah.

These 10 heavy-duty adventure campers are designed to crawl over any terrain that stands in their way, be it a steep mountain or dense jungle brush. Heck, some of them can even drive across the ocean.

Some of these adventure campers are loaded with amenities that you’d typically find in a high-end RV. So, if you’ve ever wanted to try glamping in a desert, jungle or rugged mountainside, these adventure campers will get the job done.

Jeep Forward Control

The Jeep Forward Control is a unique utility vehicle that was made from 1956 to 1965. These trucks feature a cab over engine layout that gives the vehicle a shorter wheelbase.

Jeep Forward Controls were made as both a pickup truck and a van. Both designs are great vehicle platforms for rugged camper conversions, such as the one pictured above. Good luck finding one today.

EarthRoamer

If you had the thought to put your RV on a jacked-up 4×4, EarthRoamer beat you to the punch.

The company makes heavy-duty, go-anywhere expedition campers that are loaded with the amenities you’d expect in an RV. The company started by building self-contained Jeep Wrangler camper conversions, but later switched to modifying Ford trucks like the F-650 featured above.

Terra Wind Amphibious RV

The Terra Wind is a fully-loaded luxury motor home that can operate on land and water.

It can reach a cruising speed of 7 knots on the water, and can drive up to 80mph on land. But it comes with a hefty price tag – these bad boys cost $850,000:
