Zion National Park (Part 1)

I am going to break this post into two parts because due to circumstances beyond our control we weren’t able to stay in the same place for the duration of our trip. Zion Canyon Campground For the first part of our stay we stayed in Zion Canyon Campground, 1/2 mile from the entrance. We bookedContinue reading “Zion National Park (Part 1)”

Page, Arizona

We were originally going to stay in Page for two nights, but since the Antelope Slot Canyon tours weren’t running due to COVID we decided one night was sufficient. Page Lake Powell Campground We stayed at Page Lake Powell Campground in a pull thru site. They had an indoor pool/hot tub which the kids loved!Continue reading “Page, Arizona”

Mesa Verde National Park (+Durango)

Cortez Mesa Verde KOA Journey We stayed at Cortez/ Mesa Verde KOA Journey for 3 nights in order to visit Mesa Verde National Park. We got a pull thru site which had plenty of room, but most of the pull thru sites are buddy sites which means you face the camper next to you. ThisContinue reading “Mesa Verde National Park (+Durango)”

Great Sand Dunes National Park

Base Camp Family Campground For this part of the trip, we stayed at Base Camp Family campground about 10 minutes outside the park. It’s a small campground, but has large sites and a very clean shower/laundry facility. No pool or activities but we loved the beautiful views! We stayed two nights. Great Sand Dunes NationalContinue reading “Great Sand Dunes National Park”

Gettysburg KOA Review

Gettysburg KOA is a a great choice only a few miles outside of Gettysburg. It’s a smaller campground with nice wooded sites. We booked a pull thru site near the center of the campground, but the campground is small enough that every site is only a short walk to amenities. Near the front of theContinue reading “Gettysburg KOA Review”

Charleston, SC- Things to Do

So we haven’t been camping in Charleston (yet!) but it’s one of our favorite areas. There is so much to do in and outside of the city of Charleston. We fell in love with Isle of Palms and have rented a condo on the beach there (twice!) We haven’t done everything there is to doContinue reading “Charleston, SC- Things to Do”

Jonestown/Hershey NE KOA Review and Trip Report

After looking at the weather the end of March and seeing perfect temperatures, we decided to book a last minute camping trip. Many campgrounds near us don’t open until April, and the ones that are open are booked already so we landed on Jonestown/Hershey NE KOA in Jonestown, PA. We are KOA reward members soContinue reading “Jonestown/Hershey NE KOA Review and Trip Report”

Myrtle Beach, SC- Things to Do

Myrtle Beach is a great place to visit, and while it’s known for the beach, there are many options of things to do if you want to get beyond the beach. Beach The nice thing about Myrtle Beach is there are so many access points it’s easy to find a roomy beach spot without theContinue reading “Myrtle Beach, SC- Things to Do”

Lakewood Camping Resort (Myrtle Beach) review

Over Easter break, we decided to make the trip south to Myrtle Beach in search of the ocean and sunshine. After some research, we selected Lakewood Camping Resort. The campground is located on the beach, just a few miles south of the main area of Myrtle Beach. An important thing to note about this campgroundContinue reading “Lakewood Camping Resort (Myrtle Beach) review”
