travel dates: July, 2022 This post is where you’ll find all the info about stuff we did while staying at Medora Campground I talk about Medora Campground and Theodore Roosevelt National Park on this episode of the RV Atlas podcast I’m a sucker for a campground from which we can walk into town. And one […]
Water’s Edge Gros Morne Campground Review: Exploring Newfoundland with Kids and Teens
travel dates: June, 2023 Back in 2018 we went on a wretched, miserable whale watch on a boat that left from Provincetown, MA. I blogged about it here. You might think, in exchange for the terror and seasickness, we would at least have had some amazing whale sightings. But, in fact, we had better views […]
Codroy Valley and Grand Codroy RV Park: Our First Day in Newfoundland
travel dates: June 2023 We drove off the ferry in Newfoundland into some of the strongest wind we’ve ever encountered. There’s a visitor information center just a few minutes from the ferry in Port Aux Basques, and we stopped there to let the dogs out and to pick up some brochures and laughed about how […]
Amherst Shore Provincial Park, Nova Scotia: A Quick Campground Review
travel dates: June, 2023 I promised to come back with a review of Amherst Shore Provincial Park when I mentioned it in my long post about the Newfoundland Ferry. A review didn’t really make sense in that post since Amherst Shore is 250 miles from the ferry; honestly, Amherst Shore didn’t really make sense for […]
A Smoky Stay at Liberty Harbor RV Park in Jersey City: Campground Review
travel dates: June, 2023 Anyone planning an RV trip to New York City will have to confront that age old dilemma: stay close to the city in the expensive parking lot that is Liberty Harbor RV Park–right across the water from Manhattan–or stay at a campground campground and deal with a long commute into the city. A […]
West Glacier KOA Resort: A Fancy Campground Review
travel dates: July, 2022 KOA is fairly stingy about handing out their “resort” designation. KOAs are labeled “journey,” “holiday,” or “resort” based on level of amenities, but, of the more than 500 KOAs, only 17 are currently resorts. We’ve stayed at a couple of different ones and have sometimes felt the resort label was a wee bit […]
Breweries, Breweries, Breweries: In Which We Finally Try Harvest Hosts
We’ve just gotten back from our fabulous Newfoundland trip, and I’m going to kick off writing not about Newfoundland, but about our first foray into the world of staying at Harvest Hosts (that’s my referral link and will get you a 15% off discount): For those not familiar with it, Harvest Hosts is a membership-based program […]
Jim and Mary’s RV Park in Missoula, MT: Campground Review
travel dates: July, 2022 Jim and Mary’s RV Park! Sounds so friendly, doesn’t it? Don’t you just want to go hang out with Jim and Mary around the campfire? Well, you can’t, because Jim and Mary sold the RV park over 20 years ago. But! The good news is the current owners are also friendly, […]
Butte, Montana with Kids and Teens: Superfun and Superfund (and the Butte KOA)
travel dates: July, 2022 I couldn’t resist the Superfund wordplay in the title up there. I tried. It’s true that we really enjoyed Butte, though, more than we thought we would, even though we didn’t get to do any of things we’d planned to do there. Superfund is a program established by Congress in 1980 […]
An Evening in Helper, Utah and a Review of Castle Gate RV Park
travel dates: June, 2022 After a week in Durango, it was time to say goodbye to Dave’s family and head for another new-to-us state: Utah. Dave has long dreamed of an RV trip to all the National Parks in Utah, whereas I have long explained that I’ll be happy to go to all the National […]
