Notes From Happy Campers

This was the most professional travel experience I have ever had. Nomadic Rigs are OUTSTANDING hosts. I arrived to the truck and they gave me a complete and thorough tour of every detail of the unit. They are super keen on safety and efficiency, so wanted to make sure I had every bit of info I needed for a great trip.

The truck was INCREDIBLE to drive. clean, modern and FULLY stocked with everything one might need on a camping trip. I am usually used to having to buy little things like rope, toilet paper, etc - but this ride had EVERYTHING i needed so i could just enjoy my time on the road. The bed was SO comfortable and sleeping in the scout was super relaxing. This was the most fun i've ever had on a vacation - because this rental was TOP NOTCH, loaded and ready for adventure. Thank you Nomadic Rigs for a five star experience.

Ali E - Toronto

Nomadic Rigs was extremely detailed in showing us how to best drive their truck, and how to operate the camper. This was appreciated once we were on our own and had to do things ourselves. They have outfitted it so we had everything we needed and more. The Yoho is a wonderful size for people looking to be somewhat practical. I appreciated being able to navigate forest service roads without issue other than just taking it slowly. The diesel heater quickly got temps up to speed at which point, we turned it off. All in all, 100% recommendation from us. Thanks!

Jon W - West Vancouver

The Nomadic Rigs team was responsive and informative.

The camper set up included everything you would need and more.

We were able to get off the beaten track, have some shelter on rainy days and thoroughly enjoyed the journey.

Would recommend.

Gillian D - Australia

Amazing rig and very knowledgeable host, would recommend for anyone looking to get off the beaten path.

The camper has everything you need and more, the truck is in top shape and the team at Nomadic Rigs could not have been more accommodating.

The Scout is a very well-designed camper; it's tight quarters, but comfortable.

Thanks for the great trip!

Fall Camping on Vancouver Island

Discover Fall Bliss: Vancouver Island Vacation Rentals, Truck Campers, and Rooftop Tents

"There is something so special in the early leaves drifting from the trees–as if we are all to be allowed a chance to peel, to refresh, to start again."

– Ruth Ahmed

 

Introduction:

While some may raise an eyebrow at the idea of camping during the cooler and occasionally wetter fall season, we assure you, they're missing out on something extraordinary. Fall on Vancouver Island is a hidden gem for camping enthusiasts, offering a perfect blend of fewer crowds, seasonal delights, and breathtaking natural spectacles. In this guide, we'll explore why fall is the best camping season on the island and how vacation rentals, especially those equipped with truck campers and rooftop tents, elevate the adventure.

Why Fall Camping on Vancouver Island Is Awesome

 

1. Fewer Crowds:

  - With kids back in school and summer campers returning home, fall opens up prime camping spots. Whether you prefer backcountry rec sites or popular provincial park campgrounds, you'll find the perfect spot with fewer crowds and more tranquility.

 

2. Seasonal Beers:

  - Vancouver Island's craft beer scene comes alive in fall with pumpkin ales, stouts, and porters. After a day of adventure, relax with your favorite local brew, adding a touch of seasonal charm to your camping trip.

 

3. Comfort Foods:

  - Fall's warm days and cool nights set the stage for comfort foods. Indulge in hot coffee and hearty breakfasts, or slow-cook a delicious beef stew over the fire. With reduced wildfire risks, enjoy the classic pleasure of roasting marshmallows over a campfire.

 

4. Seasonal Wildlife Spectacles:

  - Witness the mesmerizing salmon spawning season, attracting eagles, black bears, and even orcas along rivers and oceans. Be respectful and admire wildlife from a distance to ensure a safe and memorable experience.

 

5. Fall Foliage:

  - Experience the vibrant colors of fall by exploring Tofino and Port Renfrew, where the trees transform into brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red. Pack your boots and revel in the beauty of fall foliage.

 

Benefits of Camping with Truck Campers and Rooftop Tents

For those seeking a wilder side of Vancouver Island, both truck campers and rooftop tents offer unique adventures:

 

1. Freedom:

  - No need for advanced campsite bookings; embrace the spontaneity of not knowing where you'll sleep each night. Explore hidden gems without constraints.

 

2. Fun and Versatility:

  - Rooftop tents provide a treehouse-like experience for both kids and adults, while truck campers offer the convenience of a mobile home. Enjoy stargazing through skylights or kick back in the comfort of your camper after a day of exploration.

 

3. Exhilaration:

  - Escape the city and immerse yourself in nature with the convenience of a truck camper or the thrill of setting up a rooftop tent. Revel in the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches of the great outdoors. Share stories by the campfire, watching everyday worries disappear in plumes of smoke.
