After Chatfield, we stayed a few days in Monument, at the CO Heights Camping Resort. Jeremy met us there, in order to have time to sell his car before flying to Ireland (and to spend time with us, of course!) Things got a bit complicated with trying to figure out Read more…
I really liked this park. It felt pretty secluded, with lots of mature trees, but was still convenient to restaurants and grocery stores. They even had a laundry mat here, which we took advantage of. It was fun to hang out with Jeremy for a few more days before he Read more…
We enjoyed our stay at Chatfield State Park, even though it rained an entire day while we were there. It gave me an opportunity to do some cleaning and programming, since we stayed in the RV all day. Randy was glad to be near enough to Colorado Springs to attend Read more…
We stayed at Lake Pueblo State Park‘s Northern Plains Campground for five days, with just an electrical hookup. We’ve found state parks seem to have lower water pressure at their potable water station than other campgrounds — it took 20-30 minutes to put about 45 gallons of water in our Read more…
We stayed four nights at the San Luis Lake Campground, which was about 25 minutes from the Sand Dunes and had a bit of a weird vibe, feeling abandoned. Evidently, it used to be a state park and later became a wildlife area. We had to have a fishing/hunting license Read more…

We stayed in Royal View Campground, about 15 minutes outside of Cañon City. It was super clean and quiet, especially since it only allowed people older than 45 years old.

We stayed in at the Golden Eagle Campground for ten days while Randy helped with security at the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo. Since I was sitting by myself outside of the RV, when reading or eating, a couple of ladies stopped and chatted at different times. It was nice Read more…
On the way back to Colorado Springs, we stopped at Pleasant Valley RV Park in Howard, CO. Our site was right on the river and had a strip of manicured grass next to it, which was super nice! Even though there wasn’t anything to do in Howard, the fact that Read more…
Wow! It’s hard to describe how beautiful this park is! We stayed in the South Rim Campground for one night in order to spend some time in The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. As we were setting up, the friendly campground host pulled up in his golf cart Read more…
