Pacific Adventure Works

Thank you, Ken Layne, for a perfect road trip book.

Zzyzx, Rocket Site Road, Amargosa Opera House, China Lake, Lost Horse Valley. Restless and feel the need for exploration? You might as well open up Google Maps when you read this book. You’ll quickly have a few interesting weekend road trips planned out. As a New England kid I never met the desert until I was much older. It’s stark, and glorious. Empty but full of things waiting to be found. If this book doesn’t make you want to out and explore the desert I don’t know what will.

Arrive at camp with your bed already made 🛌

The Hideaway is a car camping sleep platform created so you can focus on having fun - not constantly setting up and breaking down bulky gear every time you want to hit the road.

With a no-tool assembly and a storage bag made to keep things neat and tidy, The Hideaway makes last minute weekend getaways simple.

We want to make it easier to enjoy the great outdoors.

At Pacific Adventure Works, we believe that camping should be fun. Getting out of the city and setting up camp shouldn’t take months of planning and a trunk that’s wall to wall with gear.

We created The Hideaway sleeping platform so people could focus on the experience, not just the setup.

The lightweight frame can live neatly in the closet in its storage bag. Setting up The Hideaway - with its no tool assembly - takes just moments to fit together. When you leave the house and head out to your favorite spot in nature, you’ll arrive with your bed already made.

Don’t obsess over gear. Enjoy the experience instead.

At Pacific Adventure Works, we know you’re not a wind swept explorer on a never ending trip around the globe. During the work week, you’ve got a calendar full of things to do and places you to go, and a daily driver to get you there.

We created The Hideaway so people could easily toggle from work mode to weekend mode — and back for Monday morning.

With a lightweight, no tool setup that’s ready in minutes, you can fully enjoy the getaway itself, and leave everything else in the rearview mirror.

We’ve come a long way.

From janky tents that collapse in the wind to $250,000 Sprinter vans that include a full time lifestyle change, we’re thrilled to have created a real life solution for 2026.

The Hideaway is the universal-fit, no-tools-needed car camping platform that stores neatly in the closet just waiting for your next adventure.

Adventure begins the moment you leave the house. *That’s assuming you set up your Hideaway before hitting the road like we do.

There’s nothing like arriving at the perfect campsite and knowing your bed’s already made. Just enjoy the view, drink straight from the coconut and watch your friends fumble with tent poles.
