Motorcycle Camping

Motorcycle camping is nothing like RV-ing, or taking a road trip. There's no bedroom, alarm clocks, television, internet, heat, air conditioning, showers - none of that. It's just you and nature. Pack up your gear, and stay where you like.

About Motorcyclye Camping

If you like back-packing, motorcycle camping will be right up your alley. They are very similar. You can take on all types of terrain (some similar to hiking trails), yet cover a lot more ground. You’ll also expend a lot less energy. Instead of the supplies being on your back, they are on the bike. Instead of carrying all of your meals, you can make the occasional run to the store for supplies. If you’re traveling long distance, it’s even better - stop in to a diner or restaurant when you’re hungry!

The Motorcycle Camping Checklist

Check out our camping equipment checklist page for items you'll need nearly every trip. In addition to those, you will need to consider purchasing:

• The proper bike
  Every motorcycle is not going to suit your needs. If you're going to camp across a state, a cruiser would be more suitable. If you're going into wooded or unpaved areas, you would want to consider a dual-purpose bike.
• A tire repair kit
  You don't want to drive 16 miles into the woods, just to get a flat and walk back to civilization - no fun.
• Tool kit
  Just like you want to be able to fix your tire, you want the ability to fix other parts of your bike, as well.
• Remember this
  Organization and simplicity are the key. In most cases, you'll only need a few supplies. Having an engine leaves the door to civilization wide open. You'll most likely be able to travel back, when necessary.

More resources
