Creating Family Connections One RV Adventure at a Time
For many families making their rounds of the Utah 5 National Parks, a visit to Bryce Canyon is a highly anticipated stop. With its sweeping vistas and spectacular hikes, Bryce offers something for everyone. But with most of the camping options concentrated immediately around Bryce, families that want to escape the crowds and explore Bryce and beyond should consider base camping about thirty minutes away
For many families planning a trip to the Utah region, their itineraries often center on hitting the high points of iconic stops like Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, and Arches. Several lesser-known parks are also worth the stop, though, and for families looking for ways to escape the crowds, Cedar Breaks National Monument should be on their agenda. Located between Zion and Bryce, it is sometimes
Last summer during our tour of the Washington, D.C. region, a fellow camper gave us a great tip about going to the National Museum of the Marine Corps. We had never heard of it before, but since we had some extra time in our schedule, we decided to go check it out, and we are thankful we did! Much like the extensive U.S. Air Force
For years we have driven through West Virginia on our way to various camping destinations. Every time we passed through the state we’d say to ourselves, “This is such a beautiful place—we really need to spend time exploring West Virginia!” Then over the summer, Jarrett and our youngest son went on a mini overloading trip: They tent camped and checked out various spots in West
On our way south to visit family for Thanksgiving, we decided to make a stop in Charlotte, N.C., so we could explore the Billy Graham Library and the Discovery Place Science Center. After doing some research, Jarrett found the perfect place to camp at Carowinds amusement park. The campground had four sections, the Elm, Maple, Oak, and Redwood loops. However, during our visit the Oak
For a long time Jarrett wanted to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway from one end to the other with our camper in tow. Our plan to visit the Smoky Mountains and Shenandoah National Park this past summer provided the perfect opportunity to put that bucket list adventure into motion. In the time since we took the trip, we’ve heard from other RVers who have thought about
For a long time Jarrett wanted to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway from one end to the other with our camper in tow. Our plan to visit the Smoky Mountains and then D.C. this summer provided the perfect opportunity to put that bucket list adventure into motion. But it’s not the kind of RV trip you want to make on a whim. Here are five
For those who don’t know me well, I have a little confession to make: I love children’s picture books. It’s not just the nostalgia of remembering the moments of little ones snuggled in my lap as I read them Goodnight Moon or The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I love the inherent art form of picture books—the storytelling, the illustrations, the merging of imagination and reality. When
Jarrett had some time off for Easter break last week, so we thought it would be fun to take the kids on a family field trip and learn a little more about Pennsylvania’s oil history. Two summers ago, Jarrett had taken his scout troop to visit Drake Well Museum and Park in Titusville: He was so impressed with the museum and grounds that he knew
According to AAA, this year’s Covid outbreak led wary Americans to cancel at least 150 million summer vacations. Within the camping industry, many RVers had to scramble to make new plans as campgrounds around the country cancelled reservations. Although most of those locations have since reopened to RVs and tenting families, many campgrounds still cancelled…
Tucked just two miles off of I-77 in West Virginia along a rambling road, lies Camp Creek State Park. This mountain retreat surrounded by gurgling creeks boasts just 26 campsites, but offers campers a taste of West Virginian mountain glory. Whether a stop-over point or a camping vacation destination, Camp Creek is a hidden treasure…
