Greenough Lake Campground was the perfect basecamp for us for exploring the Beartooth Highway. We were towing our 20-foot travel trailer, so we wanted to have a campground nearby to unhook and set up camp. This allowed us to drive the Beartooth Highway trailer-free. To read more about our drive on the Beartooth Highway, check…
There are so many campgrounds in Sawtooth National Forest. We were originally hoping to get a site in one of the campgrounds right along Redfish Lake. We weren’t able to get one of these in advance, but we were able to grab a site at Sunny Gulch Campground across the highway from Redfish Lake. I’m…
We absolutely loved camping at Wheeler Peak Campground in Great Basin National Park! After our stay, we quickly decided this was our favorite camping experience to date. What makes it so great? You’re camping up in the mountains at 9,500 feet in elevation. It was warmer during the day and cooled off nicely in the…
To be honest, I didn’t know Great Basin National Park existed until I saw it on the US National Parks map hanging in our house. That was years ago. This year, we finally had the opportunity to visit the park and it did not disappoint! Great Basin is located in eastern Nevada – not far…
I’m so glad we got a site at Fruita Campground in Capitol Reef National Park! It was great to stay inside the park. The campground was right off the scenic drive road – just a short distance from several great hikes. We were also within walking distance of the Gifford House, which sells fantastic baked…
With all the well-known national parks in Utah, I think that Capitol Reef National Park often gets overlooked. This is a shame because it is such an amazing park! It has a little bit of everything: scenic drives, arches, canyons, and tasty pies! Capitol Reef has some amazing features, but one thing it doesn’t have:…
While visiting New River Gorge National Park, we camped at Babcock State Park. This park was about a 20-minute drive from the visitor center near Fayetteville, WV. We didn’t get to spend much time in the park, which was a shame because it looked like a cool area. The park had trails, a lake, and…
We really enjoyed our stay at Big Meadows Campground while visiting Shenandoah National Park. We stayed with our 20 ft travel trailer in a site that was just the right size for us. There are several smaller tent-only sites, walk-in sites, and some larger pull-through sites that can accommodate larger RVs. You can read more…
Our first night in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, we stayed at Hurricane River Campground. Our site wasn’t lakefront by any means, but it was just a short walk to the beach. Even though we didn’t have a waterfront site, we did enjoy being surrounded by the tall pine trees. Another benefit of this campground was…
Camping at Twelvemile Beach has been one of our favorite camping experiences! The sites were well-spaced with plenty of trees. You could hear the waves of Lake Superior even from the campsites on the inland side of the campground. It is a rustic campground with vault toilets, no showers, and no electric hookups. While we…
