A couple years ago we discovered this great campground in Monterey and it is really a GEM! I mostly took videos of this visit and very few photos, so CLICK HERE to see the YouTube video which includes DRONE footage of the campground. One thing about camping in Monterey is 1) There aren’t a lot…

Lone Pine Alabama Hills – Are the Roads Too Rough for My RV?
The roads in Lone Pine in the Alabama Hills vary from paved or gravel/dirt but flat to VERY bumpy, steep and full of potholes. This was our first boondocking experience and we loved it! Upon arriving and coming up the 395 from the south, we should’ve turned left on Whitney Portal Road (which, by the…
West Yellowstone Campgrounds (2) Review!
Our first campground, Holiday RV Park (Click for link) (If you prefer the video version of this review, CLICK HERE!) A beautiful campground right on Lake Hegben! It’s about 10 minutes from the city of West Yellowstone, and about 12 miles from Yellowstone’s West Entrance. Open Memorial Day through the end of September (weather permitting), the…
Yellowstone-Part 1 – Campgrounds en route: Riverside Adventure Trails Bullhead City AZ, Ruby’s – Bryce Canyon NP, Century RV Park Ogden UT
Whenever planning a road trip, it’s not too difficult to find a place to stay at our ultimate destination (like a National Park), but finding a campground along our route is often “look at a map, close your eyes, and point!” I thought it might be helpful to share a few places we stayed along…
Tapo Canyon Campground and Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Simi Valley, CA
Simi Valley is in Southern California, just north of Los Angeles. The campground is small with just 16 sites, and our group occupied 12 of them. They have full hookups, but no cable, and no cell coverage whatsoever. Well, some said they were able to get a text to go through by standing near the…
Marina Dunes RV Resort – Marina, CA
In early April 2018 we got word that my sister-in-law, who had been diagnosed with ALS less than 6 months earlier, was deteriorating quickly and may not have long on this earth. We quickly packed up and drove up to Marina, CA with our trailer in tow, just Scott, me and our dog Mickey. We…
2018 Road Trip Last Stop – Yosemite!
After a quick breakfast in Tonopah, NV, we set out for Yosemite. The drive just to the border of NV/CA seemed like forever, but once we got across the border it wasn’t too long until we started seeing prettier scenery. As we entered Yosemite from the Tioga Pass entrance (9945 elevation) well, it just keeps…
2018 Road Trip Part 3 – Zion National Park & Panguitch Lake, UT
This will not be the normal, happy, “amazing!” blog. Though we did have some of those moments, we also had quite a few challenges. Before we get to that, the campground… On Wednesday, June 13, we drove from Moab to Panguitch Lake Campground in UT, a 5+ hour drive. There was a lot of nothing…
2018 Road Trip – Part 2 – Canyonlands & Arches National Parks
The Moab Valley RV Resort Campground is a nice place in a great location with full hookups, essential for us in the summer heat of Moab. Each site has a little bit of grass, and the campground also has laundry facilities, Wifi (though unfortunately it was down the entire time we were there), showers, and…
2018 Road Trip – Part 1 – Grand Canyon & Four Corners Monument
We’ve learned that if the GPS estimates 8 hours, add at least 1.5 to 2 more for bathroom stops, lunch, and the fact that travel is always slower when you’re pulling a trailer. So, when GPS estimated travel to the Grand Canyon would be close to 10 hours, we decided to find a place to…
Joshua Tree National Park – Black Rock Campground
The theme of this trip was COOOOOLLLLDDD! The low was 23 with a “feels like” 15 degrees, and very windy! In our pop up we used a propane heater and we were so glad to have it! On the first night there was even snow flurries! We stayed at Black Rock Campground (Site 68) which…
