Updated Dec 2025.
Before rooftop tents, full-blown overland rigs, and $100K expedition builds became the norm, Jeep quietly explored a simpler idea: a compact pop-up camper designed to go wherever a Wrangler could.
This Mopar-built Jeep pop-up camper keeps things intentionally minimal. It’s lightweight, compact, and built to follow a Jeep down trails without becoming the weak link. No slide-outs. No luxury theater seating. Just a durable aluminum structure, a low profile, and enough shelter to make remote camping practical instead of punishing. Features that still hold up today.
- Easy to tow behind a Wrangler or Gladiator
- Faster setup than rooftop tents or ground camps
- More protection from weather without hauling a full RV
- Less bulk and cost than modern overland trailers
The appeal today is obvious. It tows easily, doesn’t demand a full-size truck, and avoids the complexity (and cost) that comes with modern overlanding setups. For weekend trips, desert runs, or backcountry camping, this kind of camper still hits a sweet spot many newer rigs miss. It’s not flashy. And that’s the point. This Jeep pop-up camper feels like an early reminder that adventure gear doesn’t need to be excessive — it just needs to work.
Can You Buy One Today?
You won’t find this exact Mopar camper on dealer lots today, but the idea lives on. Many current Jeep-compatible pop-up and micro-campers follow the same formula: keep it light, keep it simple, and don’t let the trailer dictate where you can go.
