Ever since we got our eBikes, we have made it a mission to seek out great biking trails. But not just any biking trail, we really love trails that are easily accessible – right from where we are staying in our van, bus or boat. We do still frequently seek out cool trails and trailheads to break up […]

This year, we stayed in 59 different locations in our RV, and several more in our months of non-RV travel. In this post, we’ll pick our 12 favorite RV camping locations from our past year’s travels.

Our 12 Favorite Campsites of 2014
This year, we stayed in 70 different locations (yes, I counted.). And pretty much every single one of them had something special about them worth remarking on. When we sat down this year to pick our favorites, it was brutally difficult. Each spot we stopped at brings back a special memory. People we were visiting or traveling […]
Our 12 Favorite Campsites of 2013
One of the things we absolutely love about life on the road is that we always get to live in The Perfect Spot. Whatever that might be at the moment – a peaceful place, a location close to where we need to be, a million dollar view or a surprise find along the way. We […]
Campground Review: Columbus Belmont State Park, Kentucky
Working our way down the Mississippi from St. Louis towards Tennessee, we were hoping to find a scenic spot along the river to stop for two nights. We struck gold when we stumbled into Kentucky’s Columbus Belmont State Park just before sunset. The view looking west from high up on the bluffs overlooking Mississippi River […]
Campground Review: Erbie Campground @ Buffalo National River, Arkansas
After our stay at Hot Spring National Park, we headed north following the beautifully scenic highway 7 through the Ozarks. Once the sun set though, the road wasn’t nearly so scenic. We saw a road sign indicating a campground in the woods off to our left, so we headed down a dark dirt road in […]
Campground Review: Meriwether Lewis Park (near Hohenwald, TN)
We journeyed to Hohenwald Tennessee in May to visit the Oliver Factory to handle a few issues with our trailer. Afterwards, we wanted to find a nice place to camp where we could put down roots for an entire week to get caught up on projects and just spend some time enjoying being at home. […]
Campground Review: Gulpha Gorge @ Hot Springs National Park
Hot Springs National Park in Hot Springs, AR is one of the most unusual National Parks in the nation. First off, it is the smallest National Park, by far. And secondly – rather than the usual focus on preserving natural features – most of the hot springs here have been thoroughly developed, and the primary […]
Campground Review: Martin Creek Lake State Recreation Area (Near Tatum, TX)
Making our way from Austin towards St. Louis, we decided to put our Texas State Parks pass to use one more time with a stop for the night at the Martin Creek Lake State Recreation Area. The campground at Martin Creek Lake reminded us of the fabulous McKinney Falls State Park we had stayed at […]
Campground Review: Landa RV & Campground in New Braunfels, TX
One of our reasons for visiting Texas was to meet up with Cherie’s family at her father’s submarine veterans reunion in San Antonio, and visit her brother in Austin. We decided to stay just a short drive between the two in the scenic town of New Braunfels, at the Landa RV & Campground located right […]
