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
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
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
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 […]
Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA Campground Review
The conventional wisdom about the Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA is that it’s an amazing campground….if you can get one of the oceanfront sites. So we dutifully got online the first day reservations opened up to snag one, and it was well worth planning for. Waking up to that view every day was incredible, we loved […]
Quechee/Pine Valley KOA: Campground Review
Generally when we’re looking for a campground, we’re looking for one near some attraction or national park or whatever. But this time our main objective was to be close to Dave’s parents’ house in West Lebanon, NH. If someone were looking for a campground near our house, they’d be hard pressed to find one closer […]
Croton Point Park: RV Camping Near NYC
Travel dates: June 4-9, 2018 If you’re looking into your RV-friendly campground options close to New York City, the first place you’ll hear about is Liberty Harbor, just across the river in Jersey City. After that, people mention Black Bear Campground, 60 miles north of Manhattan, and a couple of KOAs that are even farther […]
Lake Fairfax Park Campground Review: Great Option near Washington, DC
Travel dates: May 29-June 1, 2018 I think of Washington, DC as right up there near the top of the list of cities you’d rather not get anywhere near with a car, much less a giant RV. Given this, there are a surprising number of reasonable campground options near the city. I mean, you’re not […]
Falls Lake State Recreation Area, Rolling View: Campground Review
If you want to go see lemurs at the Duke Lemur Center, you’re going to need a campground to stay at, right? Right. I remember at some point I was having trouble finding a well-reviewed RV park near Durham, but now I can’t figure out why. There are several different State Recreation Area campgrounds in […]
Philadelphia South KOA: Camping with KOA
Thanks to KOA for hosting our stay at the Philadelphia South KOA! I was not otherwise compensated and all opinions are my own. Visiting big cities with an RV often means either staying an hour or so outside of the city and doing a whole lot of long drives in to see all the attractions […]
