25+ MPG - The Nook Pop-Top Toyota Chinook

We had a great time taking this camper up to Glacier National Park! The hosts did a great job explaining the quirks of driving an older car (definitely recommend recording that explanation) and have done a fantastic job with the restoration and conversion to automatic. It did a great job tackling all the driving from Bozeman to Great Falls to Glacier despite the age of the car and even made it over the Going to the Sun Road starting from the east side of the park. You can't treat it like a modern car but that's half the fun. The hosts are incredibly responsive and have outfitted the camper with all sorts of helpful items for camping (we really appreciated the bear spray!). The pop top helped keep the camper cool on hot nights but was still high enough when dropped to sleep comfortably if you need it to be cozier. Definitely recommend renting for a unique adventure in Montana!

We loved our trip in the Chinook! The pop top was really good for being able to stand inside and gave plenty of headroom above the bed. There’s ample storage for a week-long trip. We toured through the Yellowstone area for five days/four nights comfortably! The 70’s camper really gives you a neat feel, as if visiting the park decades ago. This camper is great for an adventurous couple, more minimalist than a fancy Sprinter, etc. but a really fun vehicle! The owners were super responsive and can help troubleshoot if anything comes up.

We had a great time! What a fun adventure! We hope to do it again!

If you’re looking for a true retro driving/camping adventure then this is it. We received countless waves, positive comments and even purchase offers from random observers. The Nook was well stocked with the essentials - much of it being in new condition. The owners were quick to respond when we had inquiries and the living quarters were cozy and comfortable. We spent a great week with the Nook traveling daily but never further than a couple hours from Bozeman. So much outdoors stuff in the area. We were anglers on the Madison, whitewater rafters on the Gallatin, mountain bikers in Big Sky, spelunkers at Lewis & Clark, rodeo spectators in Livingston on Independence Day, Art walk evening on Main St. Bozeman, and hiked many miles of vertical mountain trails. The Nook got us there. One comment for you city folk…the Nook is an old stick shift, without power steering or A/C. It took a little getting used to driving. As I said, it is an adventure, but we’ll worth it and adds another dimension to the trip. Hope you enjoy the ride too.
