Big Horn Sheep - far more common than Mountain Goats, the white ones.
AHHHH....we could not remember this to save our tails!! Thanks a ton!
Florida resident Seniors and Florida resident Disabled veterans get Florida state park pass and 50% off camping fees. And free fishing license
The Lost Coast in northern CA, Mattole valley blm. Right on the ocean. Dry camping but they do have vault toliets. Your camped right on the ocean. And a river off to the side. Very secluded. $14 a day if I remember correctly.
You guys are awesome. About two weeks ago we stayed at Clark County shooting facility. It’s a great place with nice view of Vegas at night. For shooting enthusiasts I would also recommend Josephine County Sportsman Association gun range/RV park in Grants Pass OR.👍🏻 And Ben Avery shooting facility campground, North Phoenix AZ. World class range.
Love those ideas! Love to shoot , travel & camp!
Lots of trap clubs in Montana will let you stay for free
I’m retired from the NY Air National Guard. Do I need a special ID or paperwork to use the military bases. I still have my retired NYANG retired ID card.
This blog may answer some of your questions: todayissomeday.net/blog/veteran-access-to-military-campgrounds?rq=vets
Our favorite campground we have visited as we have traveled the country might be City of Rocks State Park near Deming New Mexico!!
Sigsbee RV park on Naval Air Station Key West is a GREAT place to stay! Hard to get in from Oct thru April, but well worth it if you can get it. Must be able to get access to military base to use this. Pleanty of laundry available and over 500 dry camping sites if you can't score one of the 93 FHU site. Book exactly 180 days out if you want to get FHU...they fill up fast.
Ok so I’m on the road for 3 weeks. Sold home and cars and boats jet ski’s and bought my dream rig!
You are inspirational. Loving life. Taking notes ……. Keep the great tips coming
Congrats!! Have fun!!!
Swan Bay Resort & Marina, McLaren Campground, Long Sault Parkway, Ingleside, ON, Canada. We will be in Main at this campground on the first of May. Cedar Haven Family Campground, Baker Road, Freeport, ME, One more for now Lake Erie State Park.
Good food mr. RV Camp. Sport. Beautifuly lands. #Bagibijak gabung
Great list. We've visited a couple of these campgrounds. If your on I-10 outside of Tuscan check out Katchnar caverns state park. Ten miles off I10. Of course the caverns are a must see.
We are there now. Great park!
Thanks for the info. I'll put it on my list.
Thanks for the tips!
Have you ever checked out “6 mile creek”? Also Army corp park. The best known secrets in AL. I wonder if still exists? Only 7.00 in the 1990’s. Right on AL River. Love your videos! 👍 keep them coming!
We have not. But will keep an eye out now.
Hey Guys,
Planning a trip from LA to Austin via Mexico and not sure over 2 weeks, im from Australia and renting the 30ft from Cruise America, I think? Appreciate all tips❤
Check out Indian trees campground in Montana. The Philipsburg campground at Georgetown lake, Montana is the best spot and an awesome drive from Anaconda. Lots of things to do in the area
Nomad View is a great boondocking site there South of Wall, SD. Also, another great BLM site in SE Utah is Valley of the Gods. Spectacular red rock buttes. Enjoyed your list and yes, half off with the National Park Pass. Thanks
I knew y’all would bring up creede despersed camping. We were nervous when we got up there with our cornerstone because the spots yall stayed in were full. We had to go further down the trail and it was way to choppy to get our rig down there. Y’all’s spot is always full now lol! But we went there to try at least. So we stayed at Mountain View’s in Creede it was incredible but expensive.
First of all, Phil's pronunciation of Humarock is correct. You forgot to mentiom how lucky military folk are to have this site. There's nothing close to Boston... this is the closest. You mentioned the train (purple commuter line) to the city. There's a ferry from the south shore too, but I'm not sure if it's near Humarock
Gettysburg and Amish Country Lancaster County pa 👍👍
Nice recap of yall's favorite camp grounds. Ya'll have been to some beautiful places, I'd bet it's really hard to leave some of those spots.
Looking forward to the new spots you do this year. Great videos guys.
Thank you for taking us along with you.
Ya'll stay safe on the road and God bless ya'll during your travels.
You were right....HUM-er-rock is how we pronounce the section of Marshfield!!
What, No Pacific NW favorite camp ground? (Only one mentioned on the west coast…) These were great places but you’re missing out. Salt Creek Recreation Area county campground is #1 in the State of WA, right on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Most RV sites have great views… you can see Canada from your front door! 🇨🇦 🍁
We will get there someday.
Today is Someday! 😉
Favorite campgrounds: Twin Peaks at Organ Pipe National Monument, Ajo, AZ; all of the Maricopa County (Phoenix area) Parks - especially Cave Creek & Usery Mountain; Roper Lake State Park - Safford, AZ; Top Sail State Park, Santa Rosa Beach, FL; K’seugi Ken Campground at Denali State Park, Trapper Creek, AK; Kinaskan Lake Provincial Park, Iskut, BC.
Thanks for sharing!
Many years ago when my wife and I were full timers we were the campground hosts at the Air Force Academy Campground and we loved it. Back then you could even eat your meals at the academy cafeteria. Unfortunately, years later, some of the campers wore out their welcome by not dressing appropriately (they had a dress code) so now that perk is no longer allowed😢
our mistake. Breakaway box? First camping trip with new Wolf-pup. Brakes locked up 0n camper. Fearing letting camp sit on side of road. We dragged new camper all way home.
Costly $500 mistake. New hubs, brakes, all new wiring.
Luckily it didn’t catch a fire.
Mr & Mrs Lucky Campers
Yikes. Glad you made it home!
Good job like always. You always look like your living your best life . Thanks for all your information and time you put in !!!
❓❓❓Hi guys! So I’m new and we’re going on a 5 month trip . Do you make rv reservation that far ahead? Like should I be so tedious and plan every single night at a place to stay? How do you do it lol … scared newbie
We did in the beginning....newbies as well. But now, we only book that far out if we know we must be somewhere on a set date and fill in the middle as we go. You will find your rhythm the more you do it.

You pronounced Humarock correctly! Great job!
Pleeeeeease take Grayton Beach off your list! Hahahahahahaha
I really miss being in the crew. Getting closer to our goals and then we will be right back in the crew.
We will still be here.
GO ARMY! Army Campgrounds are cheaper than Navy!🤣
Navy campgrounds are typically in more popular areas!
I’ve traveled the world and there’s e’s nothing that beats the Eastern Sierras!
You’re talking about Mono Lake. Largely destroyed by the DWP. home to brine shrimp and migratory birds.
Omg the Mobil gas station is the best!
I have trying to find the name of the camp ground you stayed at while Phil was recovering from his shoulder, I seem to think it was a military campground? Thanks for all you share 577 days unless we can get out there sooner. But our target date is set in stone sooner but never later💜
Alsatian RV Resort in Castroville, TX. Great spot outside of San Antonio.
Did I hear you say your bucket list creation software was linked somewhere? If so, I don’t see it. If not, that’s why.
We have bucket list on our website, todayissomeday.net.
Thank you as always for the great content! We hope to see you on the road someday 🙏🇺🇸😊
I'm afraid I've found some military campgrounds more expensive than local ones. NAS Whidbey Island, Cliffside RV Famcamp was more expensive than Fidalgo Bay RV Resort just outside Anacortes, WA. Admittedly some of the sites at Fidalgo Bay aren't as nice as Cliffsides, but you are closer to town, a bike ride and you don't have the inconvenience of going through the base's front gate.
How does a veteran get into camping on military base ? Do you guys happen to have a video talking about this?
Some veterans qualify to use base amenities including campgrounds. This blog may answer some of your questions: todayissomeday.net/blog/veteran-access-to-military-campgrounds
Phil is from Colorado Springs… I went I went to General William Mitchell High School graduating in 1972. My Dad was in the Air Force and stationed at then Ent Air Force Base
South Llano state park in Texas in spring for flyway convergence-4 bird blinds; amazing birds on the south llano river.
Even the bears in California are shady.
Great video👍 , Gunter Hill is a great COE park & just up I85 into Georgia another .... R. Shafer Heard COE park on West Point Lake is wonderful.
I’m an Air Force Veteran. Do you know what the VA vetting process is?
No. We haven't had to go through the process.
I want to go to them all. I want to sell both houses, we have a rental too. I want to buy an rv and live wherever. We have pensions to live on. I can't talk my hubby into this. He wants a home base. I offered to keep a house even. I can't talk him into it. I've been at him for 2 years. Last week I had him talked into renting one and going from Michigan to Florida until I told him the prices. The biggest deal breaker was the 100 mile free limit. We want to go to Florida and back in about 10 days so the mileage would really rack up. I was bummed. I don't think he really wanted to. Since I've watched you guys I keep saying to him, it's someday. I'm sure I drive him nuts. I'm 64 and hubby is 72. I guess I'll have to be happy with..good thing he's so cheap otherwise i wouldn't even be able to dream about it, lol
Cool looking lock-system you showed at the COE park. Great video y'all. You're lookin' good!
Thank you!
I’m originally from Massachusetts and Phil was correct. It is pronounced hum-a-rock.
First come first serve is a relic from a bygone era, and needs to go away. Camping is way too popular nowadays.
We dont mind FCFS. We wing it a lot so it works well for us.
Just visited CO Springs for the first time and LOVED it! The WWII Aviation Museum was fabulous.
Y'all need to check out Pointes West near Augusta, Ga. Military resort right on Strong Thurman lake. Every site backs up to the lake
Gizmo, ❤😢❤
How does a vetran get vetted thru the VA to stay at military campgrounds?
Start with your local VA, they should point you in the right direction.
Hi Phil and Stacey I would love to share my favorite place with you. It is a membership only campground but I can have guests for free. It has everything you could need or want. It is in Lytle creek California and it's an all season park. 14 days in the out. Full hook ups including cable (4 dollars a day) there is 2 lakes for bass and trout paddle boats a water park and 3 pools a restaurant and bar laundry horseshoes corn hole courts basket and pickle ball courts each weekend is a different theme.(20s, carnival, wild west, comic book,) but you don't have to participate. If your ever interested in checking it out let me know
Dead Horse Point state park in Utah
Love this video. We loved WP Franklin (COE)in Alva Fl. kind of like Ortona South COE. Also, if you can't get into the Airforce Academy, try Cheyenne Mountain State Park in Colorado Springs.
Those mountain bike trails in Alafia river state park look awesome. I'm putting that one on my list of places to go. 👍👍👍
Great list of campgrounds. I added a couple to my "someday" list! Letchworth is in my backyard, been there many times. Thanks for sharing.........
That is so funny, when your video started and I said Gunter Hill will be on the list (First one). We will be at Gunter Hill in April and headed to Babb Pizza for my Birthday! Enjoyed your list.
Richardson Grove State Park on highway 101 in California. It’s part of the Avenue of the Giants. Right by the Eel River and the scenic drives are epic. It’s just a ten minute drive to Garberville, one of the centers of the counter culture of the sixties and seventies in Northern California, and yes, that includes all the pot farms back in the woods. Eureka is a little over an hour away and there are plenty of quaint little towns along the way. One of our favorites is Ferndale, an artsy city with several excellent examples of Victorian architecture.
Big fan of MacDill Famcamp in Tampa
Does my fifth wheel need to be less than 10 yrs old to camp at state parks across the USA? We are retiring and want to go explore the states, but not live in an RV park. We want to move sites and see different areas. Thanks!
We have not experienced anything like that at State Parks. There are some campgrounds across the country that do have a 10 year age rule.
@@todayissomeday thanks!
A big thank you to Ben and Chris of @TheMcMillanExpress for their video on inexpensive campsites near Disney World. We have stayed at Bill Frederick Park in Orlando several times. It is a big city park with a good sized RV park with water and electric sites (a few sites also have sewer, and there is a dump station at the exit). A lot of hiking and biking trails, a shopping center nearby with a Publix, and about 20 minutes to Disney. Last time we were there it was about 30 a night.
I would like to see a list of the worst!
035 Tiana Ramp
Clint Eastwood filmed High Plains Drifter at Mono Lake.
Pelican Roost RV Park at Mayport NAS, FL is our favorite!
yes to Inyo county.
What do you do for work that allows you to pay for that rig plus travel full time
I am retired military and saved to pay off the RV early. You can learn about us and the RV here: todayissomeday.net/faqs
Thanks for this list...now we have more to add to our list! Rafter J Bar Ranch in Hill City SD is great! Close to Mt. Rushmore and all the other sites! Safe travels
You guys rock! You guys have great videos👍🇺🇲. I love our military
Lake pemoquid campground in dammerscotta maine is a lot of fun in the summer especially for kids
It would be most helpful if you could have written the names of the places so we could see the spelling. Thanks from the hearing challenged. 🙂
You can find the names and links on our blog plus 12 more! : todayissomeday.net/blog/top-20-must-see-rv-camping-spots
@@todayissomeday Thank you. You guys are awesome.
We knew Gunter Hill was going to be your favorite. We live in Alabama and finally going in May.
Mill Creek COE, MO
We have stayed at 4th cliffs, but will not return. Great views, but VERY tight, and could not get level.
USAF Academy FAMCAMP was wonderful. We’ll be back there.
Leveling was not easy for us either. It was all about location, location, location!
What was the name of the last campground
You can find all the campgrounds with links on our blog: todayissomeday.net/blog/top-20-must-see-rv-camping-spots
I'm not sure if you know this Phil and Stacy, but if you have any VA rated service connected disability, you can get an Oregon state park pass for free. The cool thing about Oregon is that you don't have to be an in-state resident to receive it. To top it off, you can stay at any state park in Oregon absolutely free for up to 10 days a month. All you have to pay is the eight dollar reservation fee.
And as someone who lives less than an hour from Wall, SD, that camping area is absolutely majestic. I like to take my telescopes out to the Badlands.
That is great info. Thanks for sharing.
I'm afraid to share this, because it's so amazing, but we are at Big Hart Campground in Thomson,GA. It is stunning! It is owned by the COE but run by the county. It has the COE feel! W/E, nice bath houses, a dump station and amazing hosts! $30 a night. Every site has a view of beautiful Clark Hill Lake and the fishing must be great by the looks of the fishing boats each day! We have spent 12 days here and will definitely be back!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the informative video. We are heading cross-country in August in our 6x12 custom cargo camper. This should be an adventure.
Have fun!
So informative!! I’m a follower now!
Welcome aboard!
Did you run into many snakes in your travel's
Not really. Maybe a handful in five years.
Great stuff.....beautiful places for sure....hopefully hit a few in the next few years...
What is the process for a veteran to get vetted by the VA to use military CG's?
Start at your local VA rep. Once you have a VA Health Identification Card, you should be good. Your VA will have all the info.
@@todayissomeday Ok great, I have that so I will see if that will get me into one. Thanks.
Being fellow Veteran Couple too, what are your Top 10 Military Camp Grounds (Stateside)?
We haven't compiled that list....but off the top....Air Force Academy FAMCamp is tops on our list.
We loved Watkins Glen NY state park even more than Letchworth. Great video thanks for sharing. In Ontario Canada (home) our favourite provincial parks are Killbear ProvincialPark & Bon Echó Provincial Park.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing these places to stay,they all have something different to offer. Stay safe
Question: does the last park (the Bonus one) allow e-bikes? I know y'all have them and was just wondering.
LOVE your channel!!!
Yes it does!
Nooooo, don't tell'em about COE's :-) :-)
Do the COE sites have electricity?
Yes. Some sites may not depending how close they are to the body of water the COE is attached too.
Are families of the military allowed to camp at Core of Engineer Parks ?
COE are fully public
@@luminousveiws Great Thank you .
Corp of Engineer parks are open to the public. Anyone can stay!
Phil and Stacy, thanks for sharing this information. Although we are not sull-timers, we LOVE to RV across this great land of ours. Phil, a special shout-out to the Navy. Our grandson is stationed at King's Bay in Georgia (submariner). He's on the USS Florida and we are SOOOOOO proud of him. My wife and I love to travel to the Southeast to visit him in Georgia. Safe travels and God Bless America!
Hand Salute to your grandson for serving in the World's Greatest Navy!!
Lower Lee Vining is truly beautiful, but have you checked out Convict Lake, or Silver Lake?
We went to a few lakes but I dont remember all the names.
I'm super excited to find you and your videos! We are new to the RV world with much to learn. Husband is retired military and part of the VA system, so we will definitely use the facilities you've mentioned. Thanks for posting this information, I know it will help us.
Congrats!!! It is a great lifestyle!!!
We went to this campground during January 2024 and it was very nice and the sites were great. Thank you for the recommendation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
To be clear regarding the 50% discount, it only applies to the senior pass and the access pass. The access pass means somebody is only eligible with a permanent disability. To avoid any confusion the regular America the beautiful pass does not include a 50% campground discount.
Correct.
Thanks! I'm retired US Military, so I really appreciated learning about Fourth Cliff recreation site.
Thanks so much! We appreciate it.
Wow… I worked until last year at the Mill site in Lee Vining. I now work in June Lake doing government work. You are right the food there at the Mobil station is great! Kinda fun to hear you talk about it here. I’ve lived in this area for 12 years now, and it is the most beautiful place on earth. Did you get a chance to go into the June lake loop?
Yes, we did. We loved that whole area.
I didn't know Lee Vining had an actual campground! It's quite mountainous so a toad would be useful!
Yes! Lower Lee Vining Campground. It is about 4 miles from the Mobile.
I wish you'd repeat the name and place of the campground After you talk about it; this way we don't have to rewind once we hear something of interest. Great video.
Here is the blog that went with the video. todayissomeday.net/blog/top-20-must-see-rv-camping-spots
Wall, we were there want a pic of the sheep?
We have some....somewhere. LOL
We’re at Gunter hill now! One of our favs to go to when hubs has to work on site at Gunter AFB. Also I think it’s important to note the sites are concrete and fhu only on the Catoma side. Antioch side is gravel and w/e only and are not very level!
Good info, thanks.
Thanks for the tip on Gunter Hill. We're passing through this summer and it will be a perfect spot to stop for the night especially since I have an access pass.
Have fun!
