Travel dates: June 15-17, 2017 My post about all the stuff we did in Yellowstone while we were staying at Fishing Bridge Two days before we were due to arrive at Fishing Bridge RV Park in Yellowstone, I had something approaching a panic attack about it and spent an evening reading terrifying reviews online, becoming […]
Buffalo Bill State Park in Cody, WY: Campground Review
travel dates: June 13-15, 2017 Our trip from Devil’s Tower to Cody was fraught with drama. First we had to drive over the Bighorn Mountains, which I’d started worrying about probably a full year before our trip. This went fine. (I talk more about it in my short recap of that part of the trip). Then […]
Devils Tower KOA Campground Review: A KOA with a View
Travel dates: June 12-13, 2017 This was one of my favorite moments from our trip: brothers spending the evening hanging out at the campground playground with Devil’s Tower in the background. That’s a pretty good summer right there. The main thing the Devil’s Tower KOA has going for it is its proximity to the park […]
Don Carter State Park: Campground Review
travel dates: October 6-9, 2017 We usually try to take advantage of long weekends to go to places that are out of reach for regular weekend trips. But when we were looking at Columbus Day weekend, we realized that Dave had the Monday off, but Ari (who’s taking dual enrollment classes at a local college […]
Game Lodge Campground at Custer State Park: Campground Review
Travel dates: June 7-12, 2017 The Black Hills is one of those happy locations where the problem isn’t finding a good campground, but narrowing the many great choices down to one. Or two or three if you want to move around the area. We were coming off of a string of one and two night […]
Mountain View Campground Review: More Mountain Time!
Travel dates: September 22-24, 2017 Since we kind of have a theme going on here, how about one more fun in the mountains kind of post before I get back to talking about the summer trip (which will also soon become very mountainous)? As those who pay attention to my whining will recall, our trailer […]
A Review of Cedar Pass Campground at Badlands National Park
Travel dates: June 5-7, 2017 We passed by a lot of National Park campgrounds this summer because most of them don’t have hookups, and we’re not set up for not having hookups. So when we got a chance to stay at Cedar Pass Campground, inside the actual park in the Badlands, complete with electric hookups, […]
RV Camping at the Ingalls Homestead in De Smet, South Dakota: So Many Kittens!
This is going to be a really great post, because I have so many kitten pictures: De Smet wasn’t really on the way from Sioux Falls to the Badlands, but it wasn’t that far out of the way, so when I learned awhile back that they have RV sites right there at the Ingalls Homestead, I […]
An Evening in Sioux Falls and Sioux Falls KOA Campground Review (Plus a little Sioux City)
Travel dates: June 3-4, 2017 It was dinnertime in Sioux Falls, SD, and we were running into an unexpected problem: none of the restaurants we could find seemed to want us there. I looked up a few different places online and noted that they had “no one under 21 allowed” policies for no discernible reason. […]
Haworth Park in Bellevue, NE (near Omaha): Campground Review
Travel dates: June 1-2, 2017 We weren’t supposed to be in Haworth Park, and, in fact, we weren’t supposed to be camping in Nebraska at all. We had big plans to hit Topeka next after we left St. Louis…but then our AC’s condensation started leaking into the front wall of the trailer, and that’s not […]
