FOR SALE – 2010 560 Camp-Inn Ultra #394 with loads of Extras!! Contact Mick at mick@mickandsarah.com With heavy hearts we have decided that our needs have changed so much that our 560 no longer works for us. Our beloved “Dottie” has been well cared for, loved completely and is in great shape...

We spent the Memorial Day weekend at Farewell Bend Campground which is very near Crater Lake National Park (20-25 minute drive) and right on the Rogue River. My post went live on my own website today. We loved it though and will go again some other time. If you would like to see more about the...

The lad and I just returned from two nights in Northeastern Oregon. We stayed at Wallowa Lake State Park which is 6 miles outside the wonderfully sleepy town of Joseph. It sits right on the banks of the lake, at the base where Mt Joseph and Mt Howard come together and has its own marina. We...

I know Jenn did a review of Nahalem Bay State Park, but not sure if that was under her adventures thread or if I am missing it. We stayed here over the summer with the Lad's school and did a weekend there. It helped my re-entry into society after a few weeks on the road. The campground is...

We only stayed here one night. I wouldn't like to stay in the pull throughs, but they had some nice back-in sights with water and electric. They also had a pool and an 18-hole mini golf, along with bath houses, laundry, and a log cabin family room. Owners were brand new and really happy to help...

In short, I would stay here again, but would prefer to do it in the off season. I would first look at Desert View Campground instead though - smaller, away from the village, seemed quieter and similar facilities. Here is my full review...

At the end of our trip we stayed in Moab at Canyonlands Campground which is in town. It backs up to the the high school football field (which wasn't an issue for us since it wasn't football season, but hear Friday nights can get pretty loud with games). You feel pretty tucked away though because...

Hi everyone! I entered the "Share the Experience" photo contest today and I am just passing along the links for 2 photos I entered. If you like them and would like to vote for my pictures, I would be most grateful. The first photo has been entered into the History category. As the caption...

This was my first trip to Zion, and right after arriving was wishing we had more than 1 night there. Despite the heat, it has a stunning beauty I have never seen before. Watchman campground was great too. We stayed in loop B, and we actually had electric, which this is the first National Park...

On our trek from Yosemite to Zion we decided to break up the drive a bit. We were pretty weary after 9 hours of travel and needed to stop. We had research Kershaw-Ryan State Park and decided since it was the first campground along the way (outside of the Ali-Inn RV park) that we would go there...

Hi all! I am not usually a big fan of KOAs (that is a different style of camping than I enjoy, and you can see why in my first picture on my review), but I decided to check one out on our way home a couple of weeks ago. I just needed something close to Boise (it was close to the half way...

When I was trying to figure out which campground we wanted to stay in for our trip to Yosemite I asked a few people about favorites. Everyone suggested we stay outside the Valley, and I am really glad we did. Jenn had recommended Wawona, and we were not disappointed. It is a nice, quiet part of...

Hi All! The Lad and I just got back from our big adventure with Lena and Katie. We left them on Saturday morning, bright and early, and high-tailed it north to get back to Mick (and cooler temps) with a quick overnight in Boise. I will write more about it later after I finish a hundred tons...

A while back I think I posted a link to a roof-mounted solar shower that was pretty slick. It was also nearly $300, which I couldn't justify. When I showed the picture to Mick, he thought he could build me one for a lot less. Today he made good on his promise and came in under the estimated...

Yeah, I know...most campgrounds along I-5 are not overly awesome. I am looking for a decent one in southern Oregon/Northern Cali that folks like enough for a one night stay, that is safe for a lady and her kid, has good access to the freeway, and you would go to. Was hoping to get to Medford at...

Hi everyone! I am headed to Yosemite for some camping next month and we thinking of stopping in to see some friends in the Shenandoah Valley. I am not sure if the timing is going to work with their schedules, so I am looking for ideas of campgrounds between here and there that will break up...

I know Jenn has one as well, but last year we bought a BioLite Biomass camping stove and it is an amazing device. The company is pretty awesome too, with their work in developing nations and trying to reduce the indoor air pollution created by cooking over open fires. We just fell in love with...

Well, .e made it out of the garage for the first time since last fall. She got a nice bath, water tanks are flushed, tires have been checked, seals treated, and she has her cover on (all in time for the rains to hit on Tuesday!). Hopefully they dump and get outta dodge so we can head to the...

I am curious and wondering if anyone does this. I read somewhere that you can use a utility bucket with a lid (picture a Homer bucket), fill it with water and a little detergent along with your dirty cloths, snap on the lid and go for a drive. The shaking of the car is like an agitation...

Frank, your comment in the shout box reminded me of this Portlandia skit. It isn't totally true...just mostly true. :) You tube Winter in Portlandia
