11 Favorite Campgrounds from Our First 5 Years of RVing

January 7, 2021 by kokotg 3 Comments

I’ve never done a list of our favorite campgrounds before, but now seems like a good time, with 5 years of RVing and a whole lot of campgrounds all over the US and Canada behind us. The whole family collaborated on the list, but I had the final say because it’s my blog. Ranking campgrounds […]

Willow Valley RV Resort: Campground Review

December 14, 2020 by kokotg Leave a Comment

If you prefer your campground reviews in an audio format, you can hear me talking about Willow Valley and the surrounding area over on the RV Atlas podcast.  We came across Willow Valley RV Resort because we were looking for a campground near Clayton, Georgia that wasn’t Black Rock Mountain State Park. Black Rock Mountain […]

Cavendish Campground at Prince Edward Island National Park: A Review

October 19, 2019 by kokotg Leave a Comment

Travel dates: July 13-17, 2018 (I messed up and forgot to write this back when I was covering PEI! Read about everything else we did in Cavendish here) It was the best of campgrounds; it was the worst of campgrounds… Our stay at Cavendish Campground in Prince Edward Island National Park started off on a very bad note: […]

Fundy National Park and Hopewell Rocks with Kids and Teens

September 29, 2019 by kokotg Leave a Comment

travel dates: July 17-19, 2018 Many years ago, I heard of the Bay of Fundy for the first time. A co-worker of Dave’s at the Museum of Science in Boston went there for some kind of research trip, and he told me about it and about the Really Impressive Tides. So I had that information […]

Mira River Provincial Park, Nova Scotia: Campground Review

June 1, 2019 by kokotg Leave a Comment

Travel dates: July 8-11, 2018 Before our trip, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of Nova Scotia provincial parks, because I couldn’t find out much about them online. Take Mira River, for example. There is one lone review of it on CampgroundReviews.com, from way back in 2014. But there aren’t a lot of choices […]

Baddeck Cabot Trail Campground Review: Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

May 28, 2019 by kokotg Leave a Comment

campground review of Baddeck Cabot Trail Campground in Nova Scotia: great base camp for exploring the Cabot Trail and surrounding area

Baddeck, Nova Scotia is known as the gateway to the Cabot Trail, as driving the loop will begin and end in the little village. There are a few different campgrounds to choose from in Baddeck, but the efficiently named Baddeck Cabot Trail Campground had the best reviews, so it was our choice. And….I really have […]

Woodhaven RV Park near Halifax, Nova Scotia: Campground Review

April 28, 2019 by kokotg 2 Comments

Travel dates: June 29-July 4, 2018 Like with Dunromin in Annapolis Royal, I was very nervous that Woodhaven RV Park, about 20 minutes outside of Halifax, was going to be terrible. Or barely passable at best. But, like with Dunromin, it turned out to be a really nice place and a great central location for checking […]

Dunromin Campground in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia: Campground Review

March 18, 2019 by kokotg Leave a Comment

Travel dates: June 26-29, 2018   Truth be told, I was a little nervous about campgrounds in Nova Scotia before our trip. For many of our stops, I was able to find a campground with okay reviews, but I couldn’t find many with GREAT reviews. Or I’d find one that sounded good but only had one […]

Highbury Gardens RV Park in Canaan, Nova Scotia: Campground Review

February 21, 2019 by kokotg Leave a Comment

There’s a ton to see in Nova Scotia, and planning a trip can be overwhelming–even if you have three weeks to fit everything in like we did. So I based a lot of our stops on the same thing I would when planning a trip in the US: proximity to national park sites. So I […]

Glooscap Campground in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia: Campground Review

February 2, 2019 by kokotg 3 Comments

Travel dates: June 21-24, 2018 “This campground is the real McCoy,” the guy in the office at Glooscap Campground told us before we went off to find our site. It was part brag and part warning. You won’t find any fancy amenities at Glooscap–no pool, no organized activities….not even much in the way of indoor plumbing (pit toilets […]
