Campgrounds

Mineral, WA / Mount Rainier National Park

It was a long, 7ish hour drive from Prospect, OR to Mineral, WA, since we had to sit in traffic a couple of times going through Portland. But at least the roads weren’t nearly as curvy or steep on this leg of the trip. We spent four nights at Elkamp Read more…

Groveland, CA / Yosemite National Park

Sanger, CA / Kings Canyon National Park

We spent four nights at Riverbend RV Park in Sanger, CA while we visited Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. I could have probably found a closer campground if I’d known we’d have a shorter RV, but this was a nice, quiet spot about an hour away from the parks. Read more…

Petrified Forest National Park / Winslow, AZ / Homolovi State Park

On our way to Winslow, AZ, we stopped by the Petrified Forest National Park in Chambers, AZ. Thankfully, Randy read about how we could drop our Fifth Wheel off at the Painted Desert Visitor Center before driving through the park, so that made it easier to stop at all the Read more…
