Sometimes there is nothing like getting out into the great outdoors. It may not be for everybody, but for many, the escape into nature is an incomparable break from the monotony or the stress of everyday living. However, nature breaks can come in wildly different forms, from staying in a luxury yurt on the shore of a mountain lake in Colorado to backpacking in the Great Smoky Mountains.
Others might like to pitch a tent at the beach or rent a lodge in the African savanna, although some might argue the best escape happens when you can take your home with you literally in the back of your pickup.

Truck campers come in a variety of floor plans with a range of options from basic to premium, and they often provide a surprising amount of room and amenities.
