Spring is a great time of year to go camping. Especially if you plan to stay local. You’ll benefit from the fact that the sweltering heat of Alabama summers hasn’t begun yet. Plus, you’ll avoid the summer crowd at Oak Mountain, Creekside, Blue Creek, or other local campgrounds. If you’re thinking about spending some time in the great outdoors, check out the best vehicles for camping. These Honda vehicles will get you, your family, and all your gear to and from your campsite.
What to Look For in an Outdoor-Lifestyle Vehicle
You don’t need top-of-the-line off-road capabilities to access most camping sites. So if you rarely go camping, it may be best to focus your vehicle shopping on other aspects of your lifestyle. But if camping and other outdoor activities are a big part of your life, you’ll want a vehicle that can get you to the wilderness and back without any trouble. Look for a vehicle that has enough seating for you and the rest of your camping party, plus, a good amount of cargo space for your tent and other gear. If you prefer to use a camper instead of a tent you’ll also need a vehicle that’s capable of towing it.
Camping in the 2022 Honda Ridgeline
The 2022 Honda Ridgeline has comfortable seating for five passengers. So, your whole family can fit in the cabin while all your gear is stored in the 5-foot-4-inch truck bed.

The Honda Ridgeline has a max towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. So, it’s a great vehicle for the outdoor family that likes to tow a camper to the campsite.
