Staying in Campgrounds with a Truck Camper
We've only ever travelled in a travel trailer. Recently we sold it and bought a truck camper. We're going on a trip to Gaspe and Newfoundland this summer. Much of it will be boondocking, but we will...

Generally speaking we only get a site for one night because we may or may not be in the area a second night. When we are, we don't unload because we want everything with us. We have a couple of options we use depending on the campground policy.
1) Preferred is the tag on the post as issued by the campground.
2) Plastic bag over the post which is a sign the site is not useable.
3) Old table cloth on the table with a trinket of some sort.
4) Nothing when there are plenty of sites to choose from because I just use it as a place to sleep and think of changing sites as a unique way to get a different view.
We don't have much we take with us for setting up camp. Two chairs, a plastic folding 12x12 table and a grill. Since I always practice bear proofing my site, the grill goes back up when I'm done. I want the chairs dry in the morning so put them up in the truck so don't have to worry about the dew or rain. And since I'm putting the chairs up, might as well put up the table. Total time from stopping to camp setup is under 1 minute. To tear down camp takes a little longer but still under 2 minutes.
