Camping

Came across a really handy roundup on RVtravel, turns out there are quite a few spots around the U.S. where you can park up for free with hookups. Small towns, city parks, and even casinos are offering short-term stays that include power and water. Places like Marysville City...

Community, let's talk about this fresh take on Work Camping Lifestyle from Business Insider. When I first started work camping at Mount Rushmore three years ago in my modest 28-foot RV, I had no idea it would completely transform my approach to retirement travel. Like Kathy...

I stumbled on this article about Van Life Experience and it instantly transported me back to my transformative year living on the road. Like Greg Heil, I remember those first uncertain weeks adapting to van living - figuring out where to park safely, learning to maximize every...

Fellow travelers, this piece from GlobeNewswire stood out to me because I've been taking my dog camping at Jellystone Parks for years now. Last fall season was particularly eye-opening when I tried out some of Jeremy Puglisi's recommended techniques during our glamping trip. The...

Back from a weekend camping trip at Millersylvania State Park and I’m already planning my next visit. This place has it all, misty morning canoe rides on Deep Lake, old growth forest trails, and woodpeckers drumming in the trees. The campground was surprisingly lively, and the...

Tried a bunch of new camping hacks on my recent trip and I was surprised by how many came from Reddit. The frozen water bottles as ice packs were a total win kept things cold and gave me fresh drinking water later. I also prepped foil packet meals at home and cooked them right...

I was shocked to read about the recent incident south of Sierra Brooks a woman found dead at a remote campsite with no amenities, and an “incoherent” man arrested nearby. Authorities are calling it a homicide and have taken 36-year-old Jesse James Dallmann into custody on...

Alta Lake State Park was one of my favorite surprises on a Washington road trip. In just one view, you get pine-covered mountains, rocky desert slopes, and a shimmering blue lake a mix you don’t often see in the Pacific Northwest. It’s only about 3.5 to 4 hours from Seattle, but...

If I could only pick one camper van to live the #vanlife dream, it’d be the Airstream Atlas, no question. It’s technically still a van, but with the slide-out Murphy Suite and that spa-style bathroom, it feels like a mini luxury condo on wheels. I’ve test-driven a few different...
