Over the years, I’ve been able to experience camping over a broad spectrum – ranging from just the basic essentials on my back, to camping in a lavish RV. To me, it seems a popup trailer is an ideal setup for a family or whomever else might be looking to be one with nature, but also have many of the amenities an RV or full-size trailer have to offer, but with a minimalist flare to it.
After some research online, popup campers have come a long way – with many choices and setups to choose from. Here’s information about some of the manufacturers and their camper brands/models I found when searching:
2015 Forest River Popup Tent Campers
Forest River (pictured above) offers two lines of tent folding campers, “Flagstaff” and “Rockwood“, and also offer a hard-side model, called an A Frame camper as well. From the pictures on their website, these look like some very nice campers with a full-range of amenties, floorplans and options.

Opera
This pop up camper is definitely not popup camper is definitely not your parents old trailer. Just one look at this camping trailer for the 21st century and you can instantly see it’s resembelance to the Sidney, Australia Opera House, from which this unique design was inspired. The Opera unfortunately isn’t currently being manufactured, but keep an eye out as it may soon. Here’s a link to a Youtube video about the Opera popup camper.
