We purchased our first camper in Oct 2106. As of Nov 2022, we've put on 53,674 miles on the camper and stayed the night in all of the US 48 lower states. Traveled to British Columbia and Alberta Canada as well. Campground reviews, places to see and things to do. I'll also share.. Repair, Maintenance, upgrades, mistakes and WINS! 2 Seniors, no pets, and tips for smaller camper owners.
We still plan to do more trips in the years to come.

A quick tip for winterizing Inline RV water filters. Lets save some RV Antifreeze over the years. :)
Переглядів 928Рік тому
Not much sense in destroying the inline filter system for future owners who may like this feature. OR? Just an empty bottle per shireguy876 below. :) We have a Rockwood Mini Lite 2017 2109s. This inline filter is pretty common.
Prewitt Reservoir State Wildlife Area. Free Dry Camping but you need a pass. Read below about that!

Just off I76 in NE Colorado lies a huge reservoir with camping and fishing. Birds galore here, especially water fowl. This is a hot spot for locals. Fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking. Boats are not allowed to create white water however. Sailing and Windsurfing are only allowed during July and August and there is no waterskiing. There are over 350 SWAs in Colorado! Bear in mind, everyone over...
Milton State Park & Prairie Dog State Park! Yes, 2 fabulous Kansas State Parks. Awesome Parks!

I've never been disappointed in a Kansas State Park. They are expansive, spacious sites, clean, and on and on. These 2 are no exception. Kansas does it right! Both parks are located by big lakes. Fishing is a top priority here as it should be.

Jonesburg Gardens Campground, Jonesburg MO. I'd rather be somewhere else. But he's friendly.

This is a very old CG. Some residents haven't moved their campers in years I think. Maybe it looks much better in summer? But if we were going to stay more than one night, I'd not have picked this place.

George Rogers Clark National Historical Park is 15 minutes south. Get to know the history of this area. It is free and good for an hour's worth of visiting. Great movie on the history, do NOT miss the movie! New Vision RV Park is an older private campground. Close to the highway & noisy during the day. A few full timers, mostly workers. Pull throughs and back ins. Convenient to Vincennes for to...
Ouabache State Park, Bluffton IN. I'll be honest. Rather boring, its a review of this campground.
Переглядів 1,4 тис.2 роки тому
Loop A is very open with Asphalt but Loop B is more woodsy with gravel. All are electric only. Me? I'll take loop B any day. Huge park, the campgrounds are only a small part of it. I would definitely stay here again. It was completely full for the Halloween weekend. 2022. Tv reception is surprisingly good. We could pick up ABC, NBC, and CBS! Linda is loving the Saturday College games and NFL ga...
William C Sterling State Park. Monroe MI. BIG & open sites with lots of biking. On Lake Erie!

We chose this so we could go see The Henry Ford Museum and Ford Rouge Factory. F150 anyone? These are the higher end F150s, basic F150s are made in Wichita KS. Book the Museum and Rouge Factory at the same time and save money. Unfortunately, Greenfield Village was closed for the season. Also. VERY interesting is a trip to River Raisin National Battlefield Park. Not a lot to see, but free. The v...

Mary Jane Thurston State Park, McClure OH. Small park, big on looks. Spacious sites! Totally Sweet! Description: Sweet little campground! I'm liking this. Road traffic dies down at night. Mostly grain trucks rolling through, not much in the way of Transport 18 wheelers. Nice easy hiking trails and a Frisbee course here too. Walk into Grand Rapids! Easy walk, 3/10ths of a mile over the canal rid...
Streetsboro/Cleveland KOA. Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Shower water line blowout!
Переглядів 7412 роки тому
Highlight? Dang shower leak issue, I'll show you how I fixed it. But? Cuyahoga NP was so nice and beautiful. A KOA here, or anywhere, is basically a kids & family camping spot. It is a last resort for us when on the road. The Cuyahoga National Park is very spread out for different things to see and do. It is an easy drive from the campground west. We did get very turned around in the Park howev...
Chapman State Park. Winner winner! Great site in the lower loop #20. Gorgeous! & Historic Warren.

Very pretty park! Pennsylvania has some beautiful parks. Fall camping here is a must. This was about 3 1/2 hrs from Hills Creek State Park. The shorter the better for me. Miles of roads you could bike on here too. From the entrance to the campsites is more than a mile. Trails all over as well so hikers can do some boot scooting boogy'ing out there. You MUST wear a helmet! PA Law. We parked in L...
Hills Creek State Park. How nice! Winner again. Wooded but big spots for camping. Full Hookups!

The lake here is just beautiful. Reminds me so much of a Colorado lake. Colors on the trees are still hanging around as well. Not much longer with these temperatures though. October 18 when we pulled in. Though it was cloudy, on and off light rain, cold as the dickens, I enjoyed this site, #20.

Selkirk Shores State Park NY. Beautiful area and fishing territory! Just gorgeous camping sites!
Переглядів 2,1 тис.2 роки тому
Big spaces here for camping. You will have plenty of room to spread out. All have a picnic table and fire pit. Electric only, but baths are in each loop. I didn't see any bad spots in Loop A or B. Loops C & D were closed for the season but I checked them out in the video. You can walk down to the shore if you don't want to drive from any camping loop. We drove, not understanding how close it wa...
10 Acres Campground, Addison, VT. Good for a quick night or two, but pick your site carefully.

Very picturesque area. Fall is the time to be here. Close to museums and historic sites. We enjoyed His Majesty's Fort at Crown Point, Fort St. Frederic, and the Champlain Memorial Lighthouse. All within walking distance of the parking area in the Crown Point Fort. We walked the area and it was about 2 miles of walking. We could have spent even more time there had we not pooped out. But it is d...

Sites 10T through 16T. This reminded me of being in the mountains in Colorado. A babbling brook behind us, trees changing colors. Quite level sites, water & electric too. Just 5 minutes into town where you'll get great wifi. But no signal at this campground. Super staff too. I didn't go into the main area of the park at all. Sites by the road were ALL I needed. Just fabulous! John, I think that...
