    13.6 mph

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The truck travels 60 miles to and back. We know the truck took 7 hours on the journey back of 60 miles. This means it's average speed over this time was 60/7 = 8.6 miles per hour.

    It averages 5mph less on its return trip. This means on the way to the camp it goes 5mph faster so 8.6+5=13.6 mph on its trip to the camp.
