For Christmas 2011 we took our large family of 12 including 3 couples and 6 children aged 6 to 17 to this Goldslope Condo in Breckenridge, Colorado. The condo is situated up a hill with spectacular views of the slopes and mountains of Breckenridge. It was listed as a condo on the Internet and we [...]

We’ve been camping here labor day weekend for several years now. It’s my favorite campground in the Indiana state park system. It’s near Richmond, and on Brookville Reservoir. It’s a fairly large campground with both electric and primitive sites. The amenities are in decent shape. Modern bathrooms and shower house are well maintained and easy [...]

Mid-September of 2011 was a beautiful time of year to be in southern Colorado.  We spent lots of time researching where we wanted to hunt in southern Colorado.  Once we located an area that we wanted to hunt, we then  began our search for a place for 6 hunters to stay.  One of the guys [...]

We were looking for a campground close to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.  Our stay would be the first weekend of June.  We looked online for a convenient and reasonably priced campground.  We chose Camp Sandusky for our 2 night stay in northern Ohio.  We chose a tent site with electricity.  They have primitive, and [...]

We stayed at Lighthouse Point in Bull Shoals, Arkansas for 6 days as a family vacation in 2011.  This place is the quintessential “lake cabin”!!  We absolutely LOVED it!!  We had 2 full beds, a fully stocked kitchenette with a microwave and a bathroom with a stand up shower.  The view from the back deck [...]

We took a trip to Warren Dunes State Park in late May.  I had never been to Michigan and was excited to see Lake Michigan up close.
We reserved a campsite on the park’s website.  After reviewing some pictures of the campsite we decided to go with site #56.  When we were checking the campsites online, [...]

After camping at Normandy for the first time since ‘92, I was happy to see that the place more than lived up to my memory. That being said, we went mid-week, not during a holiday weekend (like 4thof July). While our site was cozy, private and shaded with more than enough room for our 8 [...]

For our trip to Red River Gorge in March I booked our cabin through Natural Bridge Cabin Rental. I was able to view their cabin choices on their website and found one that I felt suited us the best.  The one that I chose was called Eagle’s Nest. It had one king bed, kitchen, family [...]

An early spring get-away in the Great Smokey Mountains can’t be beat.  The traffic was light and the spring break crowds were avoided.   Alpine Chalet & Condo Rentals in Gatlinburg have great Chalet rentals and we have enjoyed doing business with them for many years.  We stayed in the Bear Naked Cabin.  The peace and quiet of breakfast [...]

We went here on Valentines weekend this year, and loved it!  We started our journey at Yamacraw Bridge and took the Sheltowee Trace to make a loop back to the bridge.  It is about a 15 mile loop that we turned  into a 3 day 2 night trip. The journey was to Yahoo Falls… It’s a  very [...]

A few weekends ago we decided to take our family of 8 on a quick one night trip to McCormicks Creek State Park. This was our first time to tent camp with all of us and our first time to the campgrounds at McCormicks Creek. We had heard mixed reviews about the campground but decided [...]

I have not camped in a tent since I was a pre-teen so I was unsure of what to expect of this experience. Our friends invited us to camp along with them the first weekend in October. We only stayed one night, October 2nd, due to schedule conflicts.
We arrived in late afternoon and found our [...]

Rocky Neck State Park in East Lyme, CT has a nice, but a bit long to walk, paved path to the Long Island Sound.  This campground offers nice campsites with paved roads that are great for biking to the water or just enjoying a nice ride.  Campsites are pretty close together.  There is a bath house with [...]

Camping at Burlingame in Charleston, Rhode Island was nice and quiet.  It’s a large campground with approximately 800 sites and water access.  Our children enjoyed activities such as skateboarding and biking on their paved roads, kayaking and swimming.  We relaxed at Misquamicut Beach which is an ocean beach just a short drive from the campground.  They had [...]

Hurricane River Campground is my favorite camping spot.  It is primitive and you cannot make reservations.  Those things may sound negative but they are a big plus to me.  That means if you show up early in the afternoon you almost always will find a site.  Plus it means you won’t run in to too [...]

815 Riverside Dr, Estes Park, CO 80517
I don’t think this private park has a website.  It is right next to Spruce Lake Campground, which is a State owned property, separated by just a fence.
This rv park has 110 sites, many of which are big rig summer residents.  I didn’t see any tents.  The sites are very close [...]

We went to McCormicks creek last summer.  We were on site 104 which was pretty close to the restrooms and overall a pretty good site.  Each site has a fire ring and 1 picnic table.  The sites themselves are smaller than we are used to, but most do have trees and bushes between them so they [...]

We went to the Dunes State Park a couple years ago for fall break.  Our main reason for being in the area was we had a trip planned to Chicago to watch a Fire soccer game.  It took around an hour to drive from the park to the area of Chicago we were going to. [...]

We just got back from a 4 night camping trip to Lieber State Park.  We have actually camped there quite a bit over the last three years.  We like camping there because its not too far from home (Brownsburg) less than an hour and they have a pool and beach.  With our kids getting older, [...]

My husband was initially shocked when we drove into this “campground.”  It is an rv parking lot.  The sites are very close to each other and there is very little shade.    The whole park is crushed gravel, with concrete pads under the picnic tables.  The owner said all campgrounds in the mountains are like [...]

jderuby  Saturday, July 10, 2010

Over 300 sites, some primitive.  They say they have 3 loops on the website, but the #2 loop is closed.  We stayed on #3, with probably close to 150 sites and probably less than 50 of those filled.  Mostly wide open sites, but the ones around the outside of the loop are in the trees. [...]

We took the family to Colorado last July and the first camping area that we stayed was in Colorado.  It was the Four Seasons RV Resort in Salida, Colorado.  We booked this resort from searching online for a RV park on our route to Durango, Co.  Hre are the good and bad from out stay there.

We went to Colorado in September of 2009.  I planned out a surprise fun trip that would change our lives forever.  My goal for the trip was to hike to the top of Mt. Elbert, the highest mountain in the Rockies, and propose to her.  My other goal was to find a place to stay [...]

Last November, my husband and myself took our pop-up camper and drove down to Panama City, Florida.  We decided to stay at one of the state parks, named St. Andrews.  There are several sites that allow you to be right on the water, having a wonderful view of the bay.  Some sites are more secluded [...]

We visited the Royal Gorge  in July of 2009 with our large family of 8. The Royal Gorge is located in Canon City, Colorado and one of the highest suspension bridges around. We didn’t do any research before we went which was a mistake. From far away you can see breathtaking views which makes you [...]

We stayed at Turkey Run Inn for the first time this past weekend 5/10/10 .  The room was very clean, and updated.  We had a flat screen TV, coffee amenities and our bathroom was spacious and really pretty.  They use environmentally friendly products (like the soap, shampoo, etc) which is a nice touch.  The staff [...]

Our family stayed at Lightner Creek Campground in Durango, Co. in July of 2009.  We took all 6 of the kids, and rented a 39 foot RV from a friend a work.  The RV was a Winnebago Journey.  We looked at many options for getting there.  Fly, train, rent a SUV and trailer, but in [...]

We camped at Turkey Run State Park 2 weekends ago, absolutely awesome!  We weren’t far from the trail head that leads from the campground to the main lodge.  The campsites are really nice, and all have electric.  It poured down rain the second day we were there, but our tents stayed dry so we went [...]

We stayed at “Twin Pines” cabin in Estes Park July of 2009.  Absolutely awesome!  It sits right on the Big Thompson river.  We had a Queen size bed in the masterbedroom and a set of twin beds in the second bedroom.  This cabin was very well furnished with modern/rugged furniture, dishes, towels, bathroom conveniences (lotions/shampoo/conditioner/razors/toothbrush) [...]

We have stayed in the cabins at the North Park KOA several times.  They are very clean, but small.  They usually have a Full size bed and a set of bunkbeds to sleep 4.  There is a small table in the cabins and some hooks, but that’s it when it comes to storage.  Luggage will [...]

We have taken a Pop-up camper several times to Raccoon Lake, Indiana.  We have always had a great experience at this campground.  Most bathrooms are within close walking distance.  The roads are well paved for riding bikes. They have several great playgrounds.  You do have to drive to the lake/beach, but it’s an easy drive [...]

In June, 2009 we camped at the North Park KOA in Walden, Colorado.  The weather was warm during the day, but pretty chilly at night.  The campsite was a primitive site, however, there is a community kitchen at the main lodge.  The sites were very well maintained, and private.  We were at the back of [...]
