Best Tonneau Covers for Camping

This affordable soft roll-up tonneau cover sits on top of your bed rails, leaving more bed height available than comparable low-profile covers. The leather grain vinyl is highly water resistant, keeping the vast majority of rain water from reaching your camping gear. Near-total bed access is available by rolling the cover open and securing it with the included straps.

If you prefer the added security of a hard truck bed cover, look no further than the BAKFlip MX4 hard folding tonneau. It features matte-black aluminum panels and is capable of supporting up to 400 pounds of evenly distributed weight. The MX4 can be removed in minutes by removing a pair of bolts, leaving your bed free for a truck bed tent once you reach your campsite.

The X4s represents the best of both worlds: a hard aluminum tonneau cover with a soft but durable vinyl overlay. It opens by rolling up toward the bulkhead and, like the MX4, can be removed quickly to make room for a truck bed tent. Choose the X4s for a potent combination of water resistance, security, and sleek aesthetics.

The XR sets itself apart from other retractable tonneau covers (and bed covers in general) by incorporating a pair of grooved channels located on the rails. These channels accept numerous accessories from Thule and Yakima including kayak carriers, bike holders, cargo baskets, and more. While you sacrifice a small amount of bed space to the cover’s canister, you also gain a myriad of storage and carrying options. The cover itself is made of double-wall aluminum slats that provide exceptional weather protection and security.

If you think you can’t get a tonneau cover and a toolbox on the same truck bed, think again. This version of the Solid Fold 2.0 is designed to work with standard 20-inch toolboxes, so you can protect the rest of your bed without sacrificing your box. The Solid Fold 2.0 is made of a heavy-duty polymer material that offers the same protection as comparable aluminum truck bed covers. It goes on in minutes with hand-operated clamps and can be completely removed just as easily.
