YOUR CAMPS. YOUR ROADS. OUR COVER.
Every boondocking trip has a moment — the light just right, the rig finally settled, the quiet you don’t get anywhere else.
For our Summer Edition, we’re turning the cover over to our readers. If you’ve captured an image that truly represents off-grid camping — remote sites, back roads, solitude, self-reliance — we want to see it.
Submission deadline: APRIL 15, 2026
