Glamping: 2017 Nissan Titan XD Edition<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

For the past 10 years, my dad has been desperately trying to convince me to go on a camping trip with him. He has tried every manner of bribery and puppy dog faces in is dad repertoire. Here\u2019s the thing, I\u2019m not what most would call \u201coutdoorsy\u201d. I\u2019m outdoorsy in that I will enjoy a margarita on the porch, but that\u2019s about it. I\u2019m certainly not someone who would willingly go and sleep outside ON THE GROUND when beds exist. That seems bonkers to me. Even so, my dad is very persistent, and this year he pulled the \u201cbut it\u2019s Fathers\u2019 Day. Don\u2019t you love me?\u201d card. Low blow Dad. Naturally, I gave in and so I had to go camping with my Dad. I was not emotionally prepared for this journey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

My dad was absolutely elated. He went on and on for WEEKS about this trip, even as we were packing up his 2017 Nissan Titan XD<\/a> he said we were going to have an amazing father-daughter bonding weekend. Why, could we not have had a bonding weekend indoors, at a resort perhaps?! No no, that wouldn\u2019t be any fun according to dad. So here we are at Treehouse Camp at Maple Tree. We are in the depths of nature and already I am feeling the misery sinking in. But I love my dad so I will persist! <\/span><\/p>\n

To my dad\u2019s credit, he brought everything but the kitchen sink. Like, everything. I was kinda impressed with all the things he fit in that truck. As we were setting up the tents and the campsite in general for our glorious bonding weekend the trip didn\u2019t seem so bleak. Once camp was set up dad started cooking for our first night at the campsite. The food was good and the quiet was surprisingly soothing. We were actually having a decent time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Well, we were having a good time until it started pouring rain and our campsite started to wash away. It seemed that dad had planned for this. He picked up one of the tents and set it up in the bed of the truck put down an air mattress and made his home there. He then proceeded to arrange the cab area of his truck into a nice little bed area for me. I could stretch out comfortably and definitely didn\u2019t have to worry about the water, or even bugs really, getting into my sleep area. Dad and I were able to carry on our conversations despite the rain because the back window of the truck slid open and dad had arranged the tent so that the window was covered by the tent. It was a pretty sweet setup.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next morning, we got up, well rested and went about our plans for the day. Come to find out, several of the surrounding sites flooded out. The neighbors’ tents had filled with water and they didn\u2019t have cars quite as spacious as my dad\u2019s truck, so their night wasn\u2019t nearly as restful. We even needed to use the truck to pull another family\u2019s car out of the mud. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the close of my father-daughter weekend, I realized that I actually had a good time, even with the monsoon. I still wouldn\u2019t call myself an outdoorsy person, but I wouldn\u2019t be opposed to going on another adventure with my dad, especially if we take the 2017 Nissan Titan XD<\/a>. With his truck and my dad\u2019s planning ahead, we\u2019re ready for anything!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
