10 Best Truck Campers for the Ford Ranger Mid-Size Pickup

So you’re thinking about buying a small truck camper or truck topper to mount on your Ford Ranger mid-size pickup truck. If you already own a Ford Ranger, you chose well. When it comes to quality, features, and the ever-important truck camper yardsticks like towing and payload, nearly everyone agrees that the Ford Ranger offers more value than any other mid-size truck, and that includes the ever popular Toyota Tacoma . Even though Ford offers only one engine—the 2.3L V4—it generates an impressive 270 horsepower at 5,500 rpms, and 310 pound-feet of torque at 3,000 rpms. Standard offerings for the 2023 Ford Ranger include a 3:73 rear axle, 17-inch wheels, an 18-gallon gas tank, a 150 amp alternator, and a standard 126.8-inch wheelbase except for the Ranger supercrew, 6-foot bed model which will feature a longer, undisclosed wheelbase.

Of course, when it comes to hauling a truck camper on any truck, payload is king. Fortunately, the 2023 Ford Ranger delivers in this all-important metric with a GVWR of 6,050 pounds and a class-leading payload of 1,905 pounds for an 2WD Ranger with a 6-foot bed. However, upgraded wheels and tires will be needed to haul a small truck camper, since the Ranger comes standard with passenger-rated (P255/65SR17) tires. Remember, you saw this comprehensive, well-researched list here first, well before Internet copycats with nearly identical lists publish theirs. So without further adieu, here are the 10 best truck campers for the 2023 Ford Ranger mid-size truck.

1. Scout Yoho 6.0

A revolutionary truck camper design by Washington-based Adventurer Manufacturing, the Scout Yoho 6.0 incorporates a number of industry-first add-ons to save on weight. These removable add-ons include a roof-top pop-up tent, that increases the sleeping capacity by two, a Dometic CFX3 75L refrigerator-freezer with WiFi, a 4.9-gallon removable water tank, a removable dining table, a Yeti Goal Zero 1000 lithium battery pack, and a removable Dometic propane cooktop. Standard features include a Renogy 160 watt solar panel, a moon roof with a screen and solar reflective shade, a four-person dinette with sleeper conversion, and dual 5-pound propane bottles. With a dry weight of only 913 pounds and a floor length of 5 feet 8 inches, the Scout Yoho matches well with the Toyota Tacoma with the 6-foot bed. The Yoho supports four-season travel with an optional Newport Real Flame 4,500 BTU propane fireplace and standard robust insulation. The camper will last for generations thanks to the camper’s rugged aluminum, exo-skeleton shell and no-wood composite structural panels that will never rot. Without a doubt, one of the 10 best truck campers for the Ford Ranger. Pricing for Adventure Manufacturing’s new Scout Yoho 6.0 starts at $19,240. Available at top dealerships nationwide.

3. OEV Back Country 5.85 Slide-in

4. BundutecUSA Topi Slide-in

5. Outfitter Caribou Lite 6.5 Slide-in

6. Phoenix Stealthy Mini Slide-in

7. Hotomobil Gladiator SB

Looking for a modern, well-insulated camper? Then the new Hotomobil Gladiator SB is an excellent choice. The sleek, European styling and one-piece fiberglass body stands out in stark contrast to the more ponderous, fiberglass campers made by Northern Lite and Bigfoot. What also makes the German-import stand out is the bedliner texture that’s resistant to scratches, nobody in the North American market offers anything quite like it. While the one-piece Gladiator SB is an incredibly robust truck camper, yet it’s light enough to be hauled on mid-size trucks with lower payload ratings. This means the 1,300-pound camper can be hauled on any appropriately-rated mid-size pickup truck like the Toyota Tacoma. The Gladiator offers everything needed to comfortably travel and explore off-grid, including a spacious large cabover bed, a 49L DC refrigerator, a well-equipped kitchen with a two-burner stove, a diesel water heater and furnace, a comfortable U-shaped dinette, and a wet-bath with storage cabinets and a raised bathroom sink. Standards include a stealthy tie-down system that eliminates outriggers, a 15 gallon fresh water holding tank, jacks that can either be removed or flipped in the up position, a side-mounted awning, a lithium battery, a 205 watt solar power system with an 20 amp MPPT charger controller, a rear ladder, a cassette toilet, and an optional roof-top tent. Available in six colors and two finishes. The list price for this stylish, European import is $37,000. The Hotomobil Gladiator SB can be ordered either factory direct or from dealers.

8. Soaring Eagle Adlar 5.0

A brand-new release from our friends at Soaring Eagle Campers . A minimalistic slide-in truck camper, the Adlar 5.0 weighs only 890 pounds. The camper’s 4-foot 7-inch floor length also means it will fit in the bed of all mid-size trucks with 5-foot beds including Ford Ranger and even the smaller Ford Maverick. In order to keep the weight down, you won’t find a lot of amenities in this camper. Yet, it still offers the essentials needed to camp comfortably when away from home. Standards include a 47×72-inch east-west cabover bunk, a 30-inch face-to-face dinette, a 12 volt vent fan, quick detachable jacks, and a battery compartment large enough to hold two 100 amp hour batteries. If you’re looking for a bathroom or toilet in the Adlar 5.0, you won’t find one. Nature calls will have to be held either outside or inside using a portable toilet. Options for the new camper include a DC compressor refrigerator, a microwave oven, lithium batteries, a 160 watt solar power system, a MaxxAir fan with rain sensor, a RecPro 9.5 roof-top low profile air conditioner, and a 74×72-inch pull-out north-south bed. When using the dinette as a sleeper, the Adlar 5.0 can comfortably sleep up three adults or two adults and two children. Like all Soaring Eagle campers, the Adlar 5.0 features an all-aluminum, wood-free construction using tubular aluminum for the frame.  This approach, the company contends, ensures that the Soaring Eagle Adlar 5.0 will be a “generational camper” that will outlast the truck carrying it. Lists for between $17,000 and $20,000 depending on options.

9. OVRLND Campers Topper

This Flagstaff, Arizona-based company revealed its first pop-up truck topper at the 2018 Overland Expo and hasn’t looked back since. Unlike the traditional slide-in truck camper, which easily weighs over 1,000 pounds, the base model of the OVRLND Camper weighs only 300 pounds, making it light enough to be safely hauled on any mid-size or full-size, half-ton truck, including the Ram Power Wagon . The camper features a vertical pop-top with a canvas height of just under 28 inches and comes standard with a pull-out, north-south 60×80-inch queen bed. The vertical walls of the camper maximize usable space and feature an aluminum “T track” on either side that can be used to secure and mount kitchen counters, stoves, and equipment to provide additional functionality, features, and comfort. Moreover, the topper’s internals can be easily be removed should the owner need the truck to haul plywood, firewood, or any other gear. This can’t be done with a regular slide-in camper. OVRLND Campers are custom-built, so owners can pick from a number of options available such as roof rack tracks, solar power, windows, awnings, extra bedding height, cabinets, counters, rear barn doors, lift jacks, etc. The frame is constructed using welded aluminum tubing, making it easy for interior or exterior hard point mounting of Jerry cans, propane cans, or other recreational equipment. The tubing construction also makes it easy to add 1-inch insulation for thermal protection against the elements. Without a doubt, one of the 10 best truck campers for the Ford Ranger mid-size pickup truck. OVRLND Camper pricing starts at $8,400 for small/mid-size trucks and $9,400 for full-size trucks.

10. Four Wheel Camper Fleet Slide-in

The Four Wheel Camper Fleet delivers on adventure and ruggedness in a major way. The camper is equipped with a 20 gallon fresh water tank, a kitchenette with a two-burner stove and sink, an east-west 60×80-inch queen-size bed, a three-way 1.7-cubic foot reefer, and attractive yet durable interior woodwork. When ordering a Fleet, customers can choose from one of four floorplans—a rollover side couch, a side dinette, a front dinette, and a shell model. For those want a more amenities, a porta pottie and an outside shower can both be added as options. Interested in extending your time off-grid? Four Wheel Campers has that covered, too, by offering a 160 watt roof-mounted solar system, a 6 volt dual battery setup, an 65L DC compressor refrigerator, and two 10-pound propane tanks. Four Wheel Campers uses a hidden, proprietary tie-down system that not only presents a clean look on the outside of the camper, but it also works great for driving off-road. Due to its 6-foot floor length, the Fleet works best on a Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier, or Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon with the longer 6-foot bed. Weighs only 1,045 pounds dry. Available in numerous colors in smooth or ribbed aluminum. The Fleet lists for only $25,695, but don’t let the price fool you. This low-profile camper can take you almost anywhere, and with its welded aluminum frame and aluminum exterior, will last for decades.

Final Words About Payload

Before purchasing your truck topper or truck camper, make sure your Ford Ranger can handle the extra weight. When it comes to matching a truck camper with your truck, the payload rating of your truck is the most important number. For the 2023 Ford Ranger, this rating can be as low as 1,430 pounds or as high as 1,905 pounds (this rating can be found on a sticker affixed to the driver side door pillar). This means that your camper, plus passengers and gear, must be below this number. It’s important to stay under the payload rating and GVWR of your truck as this keeps you and everyone sharing the road with you safe. It also prevents excessive wear and tear on the frame and suspension of your Ford Ranger pickup truck. You’ll also need to ensure that the wheels and suspension of your truck are up to the task of hauling a camper. This means you might need to upgrade the passenger-rated tires that originally came with your truck with a good Light Truck (LT) tire with a Load Lange C or D. In addition, we also recommend getting a set of Hellwig air springs or another suspension mod to correct rear sag that may occur from hauling the extra weight.

Travis Schanafelt is a member of The Ranger Station that posts under the name ' MaoriExpeditions '. He has a website, www.safaripacific.com . 

Travis is probably best known on this forum for his Ranger build that involved shortening the bed and extending the cab on his 2001 Ford Ranger. Travis then added a Flip-Pac camper to the back for more camping space.

As interesting as the Ranger project was/is, it was actually the first incarnation of this Ranger and Travis' North America expedition that truly deserves acknowledgement.

Travis started with a 2001 2WD Ford Ranger with a 2.3L 4-cylinder and 5-speed manual transmission.

From there he added a shell to the back and made a custom roof rack to go on it:

He also added a custom rear bumper that includes a spare tire and Hi-Lift jack mount:

And a custom front bumper:

Here is a break down of the gear:

2007 North American Adventure:

In mid 2007, Travis departed on a solo journey through North America covering over 22,000 miles in ten weeks. Travis traveled to Key West, Florida, the southernmost point in the U.S., and traveled all the way to Prudhoe Bay, AK, the northernmost point in the U.S.

I couldn't cover every aspect of Travis' trip on this single page. Travis kept a journal of his trip that can be found HERE . It discusses his trip, sites he seen such as a space shuttle launch, being at the ocean, traveling the mountain areas of the Smokey Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway, going to New York City, Canada, the vast western states, the Dalton Highway in Alaska, and almost having a helicopter land on him while he was camping.

You really should take some time and read his journal. It's very inspiring.

Travis' North American Adventure should inspire all of us to head out and discover this great continent that we live on. It shows that you don't need an extravagant RV or expedition vehicle to take your own cross country trips. We should all feel the road calling us and break out from our self imposed geographical boundries. Even if it's just a weekend wheeling trip. Travis lived in his Ranger for 74 days. Imagine what you could do out of your own Ranger, Bronco II or Explorer in just seven.

The Latest Version Of The Ranger:

Travis set out for South America in 2010. Unfortunately, Travis never made it out of Mexico after breaking the left front spindle and developing a knock in the motor.

After weighing all of the contents of his truck, Travis realized that he was overloading the trucks factory 1,260 payload capacity. Travis set out to lighten the load on the truck, which included removing the Flip-Pac camper, and switching to a used South African Serengeti Rooftop Tent that he found on Craigslist.

Conclusion:

Not only was this article intended to credit Travis Schanafelt for his Ranger and North American Adventure, but it was intended to inspire you to get out there and create your own adventure. I hope this article inspires you. ~ Jim Oaks

4 Best Campers For Ford Ranger

• BUYERS GUIDE

G. Yoganand

If you own a Ford Ranger and are also passionate about RVing, you’ll need a high-quality camper to give you a home-away-from-home experience.

But since Ford Rangers are smaller trucks, be keen not to buy a camper that will exceed your vehicle’s weight limits. Heavier trailers may weigh down your RV, causing safety risks as you drive down the road.

We’ve done the work for you. We now present the top 5 best Ford Ranger camper options to accommodate any extra weight while improving safety.

Read along!

Best Campers to Put on a Ford Ranger

The campers are carefully designed and installed to fit your Ford Ranger. Each comes with the perfect height, width, and balance for a better and safer ride.

The 76” L x 72” W queen size cabover bed and couch/bed conversion sleeps 3-4 adults. But the camper options and window configurations vary depending on the specific floor plan choice of your unit.

Each camper has a lightweight aluminium roof. The roof is waterproof and built to last ; it can handle decades of ups and downs.

There is no need to worry about fuel efficiency; the campers’ rugged but low profile designs understand best to reduce vehicle strain and maximise fuel efficiency.

Quality artistry translates to decades of use in the most rugged of environments!

The Fleet Model campers are available in a variety of exterior siding colors and textures. There are also several upgrade choices and colors available. The Shell Models sell from $13,295.00, whereas the Full Camper Models start at $19,995.00 .

• Max Width of Door: 7’6’’(centre) and 6’6’’(rear)

The Ford Ranger FlipPac is one of the unique campers you can get for your Ford Ranger!

These campers are designed to flip forward over your Ranger instead of out to the side.

They are specially designed for full-size trucks and mini-trucks. Even though the full-size trucks and mini-truck campers have different specifications, they both have a weight capacity of 1000-Pounds Double Bed/ 180-Pounds Hammock.

Weighing in at 290-350lbs , depending on the model, the camper is relatively light, allowing a greater gear capacity.

You can mount the 6 by 6 sq. ft. awning on the FlipPac’ side. This awning is self-contained within the aluminium clamshell tube. And setting up this camper on your Ford Ranger is a breeze, taking less than 20 minutes.

Once deployed, you can stand upright in your vehicle’s bed. The spacious interior also allows the truck’s bed to be converted to a living area.

The sleeping area stretches over the vehicle’s hood, offering a comfortable mattress and 3 large air circulation windows.

• Floor Length: 69 ¾”
• Sleeps: up to 4

Scout Yoho makes truck camping fun and exciting by fitting mid-sized trucks like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma. Starting at $19,780, this model ranks among the most affordable campers for Ford Rangers.

And what’s more, Scout Yoho is also considered the lightest hard-wall camper in the truck industry today. Sleeping up to 4 and boasting a base weight of 958 lbs dry , it is the camper you’d consider for any weekend getaway!

Go for Scout Yoho if you’re working with a small family of 4 members. It is durable and versatile, coming ready to meet and exceed all your camping expectations.

What RVs can a Ford Ranger Tow

While Ford Rangers may not handle the heaviest RV models, they can still tow almost any camper. The three main measurements to look into when towing a trailer include:

Towing capacity of your car – refers to the max amount of weight the vehicle can tow when pulling a trailer. It is how heavy the trailer can be.

Dry weight – it refers to the weight of a car without any passengers, consumables, or cargo. The weight is recorded when the trailer is empty of luggage, fuel, water, etc.

Unladen vehicle weight – the vehicle’s weight excluding its load when stationary and ready for the road. It might include the driver and fuel.

Hitch weight – the amount of weight a trailer’s tongue places on the hitch it is mounted to.

Following are the different camper types that Ford Rangers can tow:

Pop-up campers

Pop-up trailers are smaller versions of travel trailers. They can have a high towing capacity and can pull any vehicle. The trailers either use a weight-distribution hitch or ball hitches on the bumpers to tow heavier models.

Compared to other luxury models, the Pop-up trailers tend to be lighter and more compact. They’re best described as the mix between tents and trailers. They fold into a smooth, streamlined exterior when driving, but the flaps from the side will fold out when parked.

To tow your pop-up trailer, you’ll need to understand your vehicle’s towing capacity. Ford Rangers will handle most pop-ups models.

Some pop-up trailers to fit into this range include:

1. Flagstaff T21TBHW

• Total Carrying Capacity: 702 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 2,670 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 372 lbs.

2. Rockwood Extreme Sports Package 232ESP

• Total Carrying Capacity: 861 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 2,933 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 294 lbs.

3. Jay Sport 10SD

• Total Carrying Capacity: 660 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 1,740 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 160 lbs.

Fifth Wheels

Fifth wheels are heavier campers with unique designs. They have weights ranging from 2,400 lbs. – 20,000 lbs. Combining all these factors means that you can easily find a fifth wheel camper to tow. The only issue, however, is finding the perfect match for your Ford Ranger.

Fifth Wheel campers come in various models, and each is created to be heavy but luxurious. What you’ll need to consider are the towing capacity and their payload weight.

Generally, many smaller trucks with a higher tow capacity have lower payload – they’ll pull heavy loads, but the truck bed may not support the hitch weight from the fifth wheel.

The payload limit of Ford Rangers is 1,860 lbs. Though the payload is a good amount of weight, it may limit your options. That means you’ll need to choose campers that meet your payload restrictions and tow capacity.

Some Fifth wheels that fit into this range include:

1. Sabre 261RK

• Total Carrying Capacity: 2,690 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 7,305 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 1,325 lbs.

2. Flagstaff Super Lite 524LWS

• Total Carrying Capacity: 2,016 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 7,149 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 1,165 lbs.

3. Heritage Glen 269RL

• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 6,179 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 730 lbs.
• Total Carrying Capacity: 3,351 lbs.

Travel Trailers

This camper classification offers a vast range of weights, sizes, and floor plans. Classic travel trailers are larger than other models on this list but still offer a comfortable living space while on the road.

They are a popular choice because they can be towed by just about any vehicle having a high tow capacity. This versatile nature makes them an attractive option to Ford Ranger owners.

Another bonus point is that the Classic Travel Trailers are designed for vehicles of any size and shape. And if you’re a Ford Ranger owner, chances are you’ll find it easy to tow many standard-issue travel trailers with no issue.

Some Classic Travel Trailers that will fit into this range include:

1. Hemisphere Hyper-Lyte 22RBH L

• Total Carrying Capacity: 2,157 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 5,413 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 570 lbs.

2. Sonoma Mountain Edition 2400BH

• Total Carrying Capacity: 2,522 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 5,923 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 645 lbs.

3. Impression 26BH

• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 5,530 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 555 lbs.
• Total Carrying Capacity: 2,025 lbs.

Teardrop Trailers

If you’re still looking for a great camper option, do not overlook the Teardrop Trailers! These premium choices would be excellent for Ford Ranger owners with a lower towing capacity.

These trailers are easy to tow behind nearly all vehicles, thanks to their light and aerodynamic design. The small size does not necessarily mean that they can’t do much. On the contrary, they do an excellent job while maximising safety and performance.

And if you’re worried about choosing the right teardrop trailer, be sure to check on the dry weight and compare it with your car’s towing capacity. Manufacturers design these trailers differently, and so, each comes differently.

Some Teardrop Trailers to fit into this range include:

1. Vistabule

• Total Carrying Capacity: 320 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 1,200 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 130 lbs.

2. Timberleaf Pika

• Total Carrying Capacity: N/A
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 970 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 120 lbs.

3. Classic Bean Trailer

• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 1,490 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 185 lbs.

Like the rest, the Airstream trailers come in a variety of sizes. They do not have foldable extensions or slide-outs, but their living space is well-confined to the interior. But even with this, the trailers will still perform well.

The trailers have unique dimensions and would be perfect for Ford Ranger owners. And even with your high towing capacity, you’re likely to find an Airstream model for your needs.

Some Airstream Trailers to fit into this range include:

1. Globetrotter 23FB

• Total Carrying Capacity: 1,003 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 5,297 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 591 lbs.

2. International Serenity 23CB

• Total Carrying Capacity: 1,239 lbs.
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 4,761 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 664 lbs.

3. Caravel 16RB

• Total Carrying Capacity: 880 lbs
• Unladen Vehicle Weight: 3,500 lbs.
• Hitch Weight: 490 lbs.

The Ford Ranger is undoubtedly one of the most popular pick-ups on the current market. They are equipped with strong drive units and durables – but these are just some of its enormous benefits.

Adding a Camper to the Ford Ranger means that you can live where wheels will carry you! And so, if you’re a camping fanatic, nothing should stop you from exploring the beauty and wonder of mother nature. Get the best camper for your Ford Ranger and hit the road!

All the best!

Cube Conquest: The trailblazer’s transforming trailer

I magine this: You’re out in the wild, the scent of pine and earth mingling in the air, and your home away from home is a rugged, all-weather shelter that tows low but lives tall. This isn’t just any camping setup; it’s the Cube Series trailer, an Oregon start-up’s answer to the call of the wild with a twist of innovation.

A few years back, Cube Series debuted with a lifting hard-wall pickup camper that turned heads. It was different, it was bold and it promised more. True to their word, they’ve now launched a trailer that’s set to redefine the camping experience.

When hitched for travel, the Cube Trailer presents a low profile, standing just 6.3 feet tall. But don’t let its modest towing height fool you. At camp, this trailer transforms into a full-height camper with the help of 12V actuators that lift the roof and walls that fold into place with ease.

The Cube Series camper has a collapsed height of 52 inches, which allows it to fit in most garages while still loaded on your truck. When towing down the road, it looks much like any other pop-up trailer, making it inconspicuous and easy to maneuver.

The Cube Series camper is a canvas-free, hard-sided pop-up camper built with cutting-edge materials. Its body is made of vacuum-bonded infused resin and fiberglass, along with aluminum and steel. This construction not only keeps it lightweight but also ensures that it’s waterproof and well-insulated.

Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cozy, fully equipped space that can comfortably house up to four people. The main double bed is placed against the rear wall, flanked by cabinetry that includes a kitchen block complete with a dual-burner stove, sink, fridge/freezer and microwave. The front wall features a dual-bench dinette that, come nightfall, converts into additional sleeping quarters.

But what about showering, you ask? Cube Series has thought of that, too. They’ve employed a half-bath design that’s both space-efficient and functional. The optional bathroom features a hard-sided shower basin that tucks away when not in use, revealing a work area or shelf.

The Cube Series has equipped this camper for all seasons. It has an 18,000 BTU forced-air furnace, a 12V water heater and an enclosed heated compartment for holding tanks. Electrical needs are covered by an AGM battery with the option to upgrade to a robust off-grid system powered by lithium batteries and solar panels.

The base weight of the Cube Series camper is 2,730 pounds. This means it can be hauled by mid-size trucks like the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco and Chevy Colorado, among others.

Let’s talk savings. Thanks to a new partnership, Cube Series has managed to drop the base price significantly, making this innovative trailer more accessible to the intrepid explorer.

The Cube Series camper is pretty much the Swiss Army knife of trailers. It’s like having a cozy cabin that goes from zero to hero at your campsite, giving you all the homey feels with beds and a kitchen. Plus, it’s tough enough for any season and light enough for your truck to handle without breaking a sweat. Bottom line: It’s the cool new kid on the block that’s shaking up the camping world.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
