A New Year’s Wish for Strong and Adventurous Women

Are you an adventurous woman? If you are like me and the rest of the world right now, your head is full of ways to make 2017 your best year ever.

5 Reasons Seasonal Camping Might Be Right For You!

We got a ton of response after our recent podcast episode on Seasonal Camping, featuring Jon and Heather Anderson. They are RVers who signed up for their own seasonal campsite two years ago and absolutely love it. So we want to make ourselves perfectly clear. If you are thinking about a seasonal camping spot for next year, NOW is the time to book. If you wait to search for your own perfect getaway until next spring, it might just be too late.

Thanksgiving at the Campground: Turkey Sandwiches with Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce on Brioche Buns

There are so many ways to make a great Thanksgiving dinner at the campground. This year, my goal was to create a menu that is simple and made mostly in advance, but still features all the tastes of a traditional Thanksgiving meal.
