The best part of camping, the trips! We’ll also include trip planning tips.
Touring Tucson
Tucson is going to be center stage for the next FMCA Rally! But there is so much more to the area than just the fairgrounds. No matter how you like your activities, inside or outside, Southern Arizona has it all. Reid Park Zoo Located 16 miles from the Pima County Fairgrounds, the zoo is home…
Havasu Balloon Fest
The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is world famous, and it should be. It’s the granddaddy of balloon festivals for sure. But you don’t have to wait until October or practically win the lottery getting a reservation. Lake Havasu has a fun option for you and I guarantee you’ll have just as much fun. The Lake Havasu…
Colter Bay Village RV Park
Campsites nestled in tall pines, check. Long pull-through sites in the pines, check. Full hookups, priceless. Our stay at Colter Bay Village RV Park had all the charm and atmosphere of Yellowstone and Yosemite but with full-hook ups luxury. The RV Park is in Grand Teton National Park and is part of Colter Bay Village…
Hiking, Riding and Rowing Jackson Hole
Our first visit was in the summer of 2001. It was the last trip with our first Class C motorhome, we joke that it evicted us. The last straw was the awning unfurling while we were driving through Grand Teton National Park. We made the repair and sold it to Frank, a sweet man that…
Mount Rushmore

Elkhorn Ridge Resort is located just east of downtown Spearfish, SD. It’s a beautiful part of the state with green rolling hills and the…
Touring Ivy Green
We had an unexpected and super cool surprise when in Red Bay, Alabama for some warranty work recently. Ivy Green, the birthplace of Helen Keller!! It was so exciting it deserves two exclamation points. There can be some downtime waiting for your coach to get in a service bay and sometimes that time spans a weekend. …
Bridge Bay Campground, Yellowstone
Our home base for this Yellowstone visit was Bridge Bay Campground. We stayed at Fishing Bridge on our last visit twenty years ago but, it’s still closed for renovations. Bridge Bay was a wonderful place to stay while exploring the splendor of Yellowstone. Since we are longer than 36-feet Mark had to call for reservations. …
Yellowstone 2.0
In 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park in the United States when President Ulysses S. Grant signed the National Park Protection Act into law. Since then, millions of people from around the world have experienced the wonder of nature. Count us as part of those millions, we’ve been twice and I know we’ll be…
