Truck Camping on the ragged edge

We live in the Pacific Northwest and I can't think of any state or federal campground that won't allow a tent. Now there are some in Wyoming and one in Yellowstone that won't allow tents because of bears.

A truck with a topper or shell and no fabric sides would be allowed.

My wife and I started RVing in a truck topper she never complained but I think she liked the idea of every other night in a hotel.

Good luck what every you choose a trip west can be great fun.

Thanks! I had been looking at some private parks, due to the ability to erect a tent in an RV site. The state/federal parks tend to put a tent on a pad site; if we end up with the TC (I hope!) - then will they let us park in the "tents only" section? Maybe? Maybe not? (Which was already discussed in another thread)

My son-in-law transferred to Portland 3 years ago; and having seen pictures of the family hikes, etc - I'm really excited about exploring a place we have not visited yet! (I'm just sorry there's been so many fires obscuring the beautiful scenery, which is why we're now choosing a more coastal route)
