Scout Campers Releases The New Olympic Pop Up for Full-Size Trucks

Scout Campers has just unveiled their latest innovation: the Olympic Pop-Up Camper, designed for full-size trucks with five or six-foot beds. At Juniper Overland, we’re excited about this new addition to the Scout lineup because we’ve already seen firsthand how a pop-up design can drastically improve a truck’s drivability.

Built with Scout’s signature lightweight construction and off-grid capability, the Olympic Pop-Up brings a new level of versatility to truck camping. Priced at $29,990, this camper maintains the durable and efficient design of the hardwall Olympic but incorporates a collapsible roof for better aerodynamics and lower overall height while driving.

Key Specifications:

Fitment: Compatible with full-sized import and domestic trucks.
Fresh Water Capacity: 4.9 gallons
Fuel Capacity: 5 lbs
Power Station: 132 Ah (Additional battery available as a factory upgrade)
Bed Dimensions: 53” x 80”
Dinette Sleeper Dimensions: 35.5” x 70”
Exterior Height (Open): 89.5”
Exterior Height (Closed): 65.25”
Exterior Length: 127”
Exterior Width: 83” (excluding optional awning)
Interior Height (Open): 83.5”
Center of Gravity: 27”

The camper features composite sides and flooring, ensuring strength while keeping weight down. The vacuum-infused composite roof reduces weight while offering excellent weather protection. One of the standout features is the Easy Rise mechanism, which utilizes hydraulic struts for a hassle-free setup, making solo camping much more manageable.

Why We Love the Pop-Up Design

At Juniper Overland, we’ve already experienced the benefits of a pop-up slide-in camper through the Scout Yoho Pop-Up, and we can confidently say that this design has a massive impact on drivability. When we installed the Yoho Pop-Up on a 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma, we immediately noticed an improvement in handling and fuel efficiency. With the lower roofline reducing wind drag, the truck felt more stable at highway speeds, especially in crosswinds and when passing semi-trucks. That means less fatigue on long drives and better gas mileage—two key factors for extended road trips.

For full-size truck owners considering a camper, the Olympic Pop-Up offers the same advantages, making it an excellent option for those looking to optimize their rig for both on-road travel and off-grid exploration.

Additional Benefits of a Pop-Up Slide-In Camper

Beyond improved drivability, a pop-up camper offers several other advantages:

Fits Inside Garage Doors: With the roof collapsed, the Olympic Pop-Up can fit inside a taller-than-standard 8-foot garage door, depending on the vehicle’s suspension and tire setup. This is a huge benefit for those who want to store their camper at home rather than paying for off-site storage.
Panoramic Views: The Olympic Pop-Up features large soft-wall windows, providing a 360-degree view when set up. This creates an open, airy feel inside the camper, making it easier to connect with your surroundings—whether it’s a mountain vista, desert expanse, or forest canopy.
Lower Center of Gravity: A pop-up camper sits lower when collapsed, reducing the top-heavy feel that some hardwall campers create. This makes the truck feel more planted on rough terrain and technical off-road trails.

The Future of Lightweight, Off-Grid Truck Camping

The Scout Olympic Pop-Up Camper is a perfect example of how truck campers are evolving to meet the needs of modern adventurers. By blending Scout’s proven materials and modular approach with the benefits of a pop-up design, this camper strikes an ideal balance between durability, efficiency, and comfort.

For those eager to elevate their overland experience with a camper that drives better, fits more places, and still offers an amazing camping experience, the Olympic Pop-Up is now available for order.
