If you choose to boondock in remote locations within dispersed camping areas, there is a good chance you will stretch your off-road driving capabilities to the max. Perhaps you want to do some Overlanding — a self-reliant way to explore isolated areas by vehicle — and in that case, you might want a more rugged, off-road RV or tent trailer to take you to the best boondock camping locations.

What’s an Off-Road Camping Trailer?
Camping trailers, rugged RVs, off-road camper trailers, and other overland-equipped vehicles are usually made with durable materials, raised suspensions, and beefy off-road tires. The off-road upgrades make it easier for adventurous campers to take their rig to remote locations that might require rock crawling, water fording, or mudding to cross over the rugged terrain. Since it’s not always possible to get a travel trailer or motorhome to more desolate areas, off-road camping trailers, or versions of the off-road camper, make it possible to traverse unforgiving landscapes to find peace in the places few people travel.
Boondocking and Overlanding: Camping in Comfort
Overlanding and camping off-the-grid might sound like camping with little more than a single-burner propane stove and a sleeping bag, but Overlanding, or boondocking in an off-road camping trailer, is anything but primitive. The modern off-road enabled campers might lack the luxurious wood floors and full-sized bathrooms that come inside most motorhomes, but that doesn’t mean that these robust camper trailers aren’t outfitted with amenities. Many of these off-road campers come with top-of-the-line lithium-ion batteries, hard-sided and solar-enabled coolers, and solar charging stations, making it not only easy but also comfortable to boondock for days on end.

Airstream Basecamp X
The Airstream Basecamp X is the Basecamp’s beefy big sister.

The rear hatch and the convertible bed help outdoor lovers tote mountain bikes, kayaks, and other outdoor gear to the most secluded recreation areas. The best part? Even the softest of campers won’t complain about roughing it with amenities like a wet-bath, propane heater, and heated tanks for your wintertime boondocking adventures.

Taxa Outdoors Cricket Overland
The Overland version of Taxa’s Cricket is a rougher, off-the-grid rig made especially for traversing dirt roads and rocky waypoints. The reinforced frame, raised ground clearance, and axle-less suspension adds to the already lightweight and durable trailer equipped with many of the comforts campers want like a pop-up, tent-side roof, and a hanging kid’s berth.
Opus Camper OP-4
The OP-4 is an off-road tent trailer made to explore the parts unknown. Opus describes its OP-4 as a tent trailer created with tough luxury in mind. The amenities, such as a 40-gallon on-board water tank, as well as the air-inflated 8-foot ceilings with skylights, add to the quick deployment of the camper trailer and the raised suspension and off-road tires that make it easy to sleep under the stars practically anywhere.
Bruder EXP-6
This bad mama jama packs a serious punch. It’s not cheap – starting at $140,000, but that’s because you could take this rig virtually anywhere and still have tech features like auto-levelling, long battery life, and a space-age suspension system. It also comes preloaded with 800 watts of solar and a 600 amp battery pack that’ll keep the on-board, cutting-edge tech powered up for the long haul.
Schutt Industries Xventure XV-3
This uber-unique rig is bare bones in one sense and packs a serious punch in another. What we mean by that is it’s a compact package that still features things like a slide-out kitchen, bullet-proof construction, and a comfy, hardshell pop-up tent that’ll keep you sleeping soundly wherever you park it.
Another benefit is that it can be easily towed by lighter SUVs and Jeeps, meaning you can probably pull it with something you already have.
The Xventure also features an independent torsion axle and rugged off-road wheels that’ll get you through to just about anywhere.
