I’m Stoked You Found Pat’s Camp Vibe
Starting when I was pretty young, my parents would take the family camping every summer. It was in these formative years that I developed a love of camping. Over the years I have camped in a canvas army tent (with my parents), I’ve camped while backpacking. I’ve also camped from a car, and RV – these were great family adventures. Now that our kids are out of the house, I have taken up motorcycle camping – this is a blast but there is a limit to the amount of gear you can bring. Now, I’m jammin’ up on a new adventure in truck Dispersed camping.
Dispersed camping also known as, free camping, boondocking, or pirate camping, is on public land outside designated campsites. Free camping is often found in national forests and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. Dispersed camping can be a good way to connect with nature and save on campground fees, but it requires more preparation than designated camping. It’s worth it.

Motorcycle Camping: Open Road Freedom
There is something about camping and motorcycle riding. You have to trim down your supplies, pick up a meal or two to cook up at your site, pick up some firewood, and settle in for a quiet night after a great day of riding.

Truck Camping
This resource is for all your truck bed camping needs, from choosing a canopy for your truck to a truck bed tent, selecting a mattress, and even the gear you need to get out there and get going. I’m still a work in progress, so we’ll learn together.
I’ll share some road trips and travel resources to help you get out there on the road.
Truck camping is one of the most freeing and liberating ways to travel the world, and I’m so glad to have you here on Pat’s Camp Vibe. Let’s enjoy the outdoors!
