The Dahon Jack doesn't fold up as small as those mini-bikes, but it definitely is comfortable on lots of terrain. It has thick, bouncy tires for that. It is a full-size bike, that folds.

It is not little, though. If your camper is tight, you probably want to go with a mini-bike. Folded up, the Jack is the size of, say, three [collapsed] aluminum lawn chairs, stacked.

I did a review of my Jack on the Folder Society, if you're interested.

Also, you might not want multiple gears, but imagine the hills in parks that you may camp in. You wouldn't want to push a bike up hills, for the sake of a pound or two. Gears are nice to have. Just a thought. I considered getting a single speed, and now I am glad I didn't. (Please, no flames from fixies!)
