RV camping is a popular way to explore the great outdoors while still enjoying the comforts of home. RV stands for “recreational vehicle,” and these vehicles come in a variety of sizes and styles, from small trailers to large motorhomes. RV camping provides the flexibility to travel at your own pace, with the freedom to choose your own route and schedule. RVs typically have all the amenities of a home, including kitchen and bathroom facilities, sleeping areas, and entertainment options. Many RV parks and campgrounds offer full hookups for electricity, water, and sewage, as well as amenities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and hiking trails. RV camping allows travelers to experience nature up close and personal, with the ability to explore national parks, forests, and other natural areas. However, RV camping also requires some preparation and planning, such as obtaining proper permits, researching campground options, and ensuring that the RV is properly maintained and equipped. Despite the preparation required, RV camping can provide a unique and memorable outdoor adventure for those who love to travel and explore.
We packed up the camper and decided to see as many National Parks as we could. We visited the following: Arches, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Great Sand Dunes, Rocky Mountain and Zion. Our NP pass certainly came in handy.
We went with the local camping club to Twin Spruce campground in Ruidoso, NM for a weekend campout. We hiked one of the local trails to the top of the mountain.
This was a camping trip to the Big Bend National Park. Jan & Steve Penn and their family joined us. We hiked in the mountains and took a raft trip down the rapids of the Rio Grande river.
This was another camping adventure to some of the nearby sites in New Mexico and Arizona. We visited Silver City, the Gila Monument, Tombstone and Bisbee, Arizona as well as Seguaro National Park. Our tours included going into an abandon gold mine and visiting a cave. Good trip.
This is the first trip we took with our new camper that I bought two days after I retired from Hershey. We went to the White Mountains of New Hampshire during the fall foliage. It was beautiful – the best time of the year in the northeast.
This is the first camping trip that Donna & I took together. We actually stayed in a tent and a had a great time. We did some hiking at the state park and enjoyed a campfire at night.
This was a camping trip where we hiked at Timpanogos Cave National Monument; paddled our little blow-up boat in the Tibble Park Reservoir; toured Salt Lake City and did some genealogy research in their Family Search Center; visited Antelope Island State Park to see hundreds of bison; went for a dip in the Great Salt Lake; played ranch-hand at the Fielding Garv Ranch and took in a festival at Deer Valley. Nice trip.
Carol & I took our kids, Audrey, Kim & Steve on an RV trip to various parts of the USA, including Stuart’s Draft, VA to visit the new Hershey Plant; the World’s fair in Knoxville, TN; Okefenoke Swamp Park in Georgia; Disney World and EPCOT center in Florida; then to El Paso to visit Carey’s parents.
We took the kids on a camping trip to Watkins Glenn State Park in New York, then visited Niagara Falls and drove to Acadia National Park in Maine.
Carol & I took the kids on a road trip to Williamsburg, VA and Busch Gardens, then to Myrtle Beach and to the Great Smokey Mts. National Park on the way home. We did road trips like this every year in our motorhome.
