Creating Family Connections One RV Adventure at a Time
This year’s summer adventure was the third three-week road trip we have embarked on with our family in the last three years. Although a lot of things went exactly as expected, a few things surprised us this go around. We kind of went into the trip feeling like we were old pros who had mastered the art of longer road trips. That was probably our
As I’ve mentioned in the past, when it comes to camp food I have two main requirements when selecting new meal ideas for our camping trips: They have to be simple, and they have to be crowd pleasers. Today’s recipe, tasty Campfire Beef BBQ Goulash, met both requirements. Like its close cousin, Stovetop Goulash, it’s hearty comfort food that you can pull together quickly, so after a
Last year we launched this “Favorite Things” series as a way to highlight some of the fun things going on behind the scenes here at The Touring Camper. We try to post daily over on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, but a lot of what we post on social media we never get a chance to share on the blog. So here are some of our favorite moments from April:
Next week will mark the four-year anniversary of the start of our son’s battle with epilepsy. I’m thrilled to report that today he remains in seizure-remission and his doctors are so pleased with his progress we no longer need to make neurology visits. When I recall the emotional turmoil of those many months, though, not a day goes by that I don’t breathe a prayer of
Last week I shared with you my secret tips for no-fail RV menu planning. When plotting our travel menu, I like to select easy camping recipes that can be prepared in a variety of ways–some nights we’ll have a campfire meal, other nights I dish out of a slow cooker, and some nights I whip up a one-pot wonder in the camper kitchen. My goal is always to keep things

Are you plotting an RVing trip to the Philadelphia area? We found there weren’t a lot of campground options close to the city, so on our 2016 summer tour of Pennsylvania we settled upon the Philadelphia/West Chester KOA. This spot offers some great services if you plan to spend time touring our nation’s first capital. The Philadelphia/West Chester KOA was one of two private campgrounds we stayed at this past summer. And it
Many of you know by now that when it comes to camp food I have two main requirements when selecting new meal ideas for our camping trips: They have to be simple, and they have to be crowd pleasers. During our visit to Bald Eagle State Park this summer, we pulled together a new foil packet dinner that earned a resounding two thumbs up in both
If you have not gathered by now, we love trying new desserts in the dutch oven! So I wanted a bit of a challenge and decided to make a cheesecake. I went to my trusty Scout’s Outdoor Cookbook and found a cheesecake recipe that I modified a little bit. And it turned out really good! The next time around I modified the recipe a little more to
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…
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…
