Nissan Cars for Camping

The Great Smoky Mountains attract thousands of visitors each year who want to camp under the stars and hike along scenic trails. When you need a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, gas up your Nissan and hit the road with your family or a group of friends. If you don’t have the ideal camping car yet, one of these Nissans might offer the perfect solution.

Nissan Juke

Car and Driver gave the 2015 Nissan Juke its Editor’s Choice award for small SUVs and crossovers. This fun and zippy vehicle offers the best of both worlds. It handles like a car, but its spacious cargo area makes it perfect for your camping gear, sporting equipment, and other luggage for your next road trip.

It’s sleek, almost futuristic exterior styling makes it a standout choice, and you’ll appreciate the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. Plus, the Juke comes with 17-inch wheels and offers a tight turning radius. It will serve you well in the city when you’re not taking a vacation in the Smokys.

Nissan Murano

If you’re looking for a slightly more feature-rich option for your excursions into the mountains, consider the Nissan Murano. It has more cargo space if you like to camp in style, and the four-wheel-drive model will keep you safe on mountain roads, no matter the weather. Plus, if you decide to head off-trail, you’ll find yourself more secure.

Nissan pulled out all the stops with the Murano’s features, which include LED headlights, electronic brake force distribution, a traction control system, and intuitive temperature controls. You can also look for available features like the power-lift tailgate and the panoramic moon roof.

Nissan Titan

For some trips into the Great Smoky Mountains, a truck offers the only practical solution. The Nissan Titan makes a rugged but streamlined choice. Edmunds praises its strong, robust frame as well as its diversity among the four trim levels. You have plenty of customization options with the Titan, including luxury packages and utility features.

Nissan Armada

If you’re looking for V8 power in an attractive package, consider the Nissan Armada as your road companion for daily commutes as well as road trips into the mountains. It can pull between 6,500 and 9,000 pounds, which makes it an excellent choice if you want to take your boat, trailer, or other vehicle with you to the campsite.

You’ll get a luxurious, roomy interior with the Armada as well as four-wheel independent suspension and a five-speed automatic transmission. The 20-inch alloy wheels add a classy touch, and you’ll be thankful for the strong fog lights if you need to leave the campground early on a fall or spring morning.

Nissan offers plenty of choices if you’re looking for a road companion and a road-trip vehicle into the mountains. Visit your local Nissan dealership to test-drive one of these cars today.
