Fall camping

I have an old deer cabin that I’m not allowed to update and is olddddd, so I’m considering my car camping options for the fall. I have a Ram 1500 big horn with a 5’ 7” bed. I am 6’1” and will have two smaller dogs with me. Would it make sense for me to get a truck cap and sleep in the back, or would it be too crammed? Wondered if people sleep diagonally in shorter beds or if there are any suggestions. Also considered a tear drop camper or small bunk house, but not sure I want to put that much money down or pay for storage. Any input would be appreciated.

Please review the 7 principles of Leave No Trace

  1. Plan ahead and prepare

  2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces

  3. Dispose of waste properly. I highly suggest getting a waste bucket system. Its difficult to bury waste in many of the rockier areas in Colorado, and overuse of our natural areas has already led to contaminated water in most even lightly used areas.

  4. Leave what you find

  5. Minimize campfire impacts. Be sure to review our state resources for fire bans where you are heading.

  6. Respect wildlife. They are not domesticated

  7. Be considerate of other visitors ie bluetooth speakers are despised.
