Camping With The Family - The Whole Family
I am incredibly lucky to be close to my siblings, as well as my parents. It’s a blessing that not everyone has, and I love the time we can all spend together.
Camping
The best spot is wherever you park it
Sleeping off the ground
What camping is really meant to be – all the fun, none of the pain
Not your dad’s camping trip
Now it’s comfortable, roomy, and dare we say, enjoyable?
A camping trip that's easy to prep
All the campsites in the country at your (and your RV’s) fingertips
Gourmet Forager
Viet Pham is a professional chef, winner of Iron Chef America vs. Bobby Flay, and owner of Pretty Bird Chicken. When Viet isn't taking the culinary world by storm, he enjoys getting out into nature in his RV, and foraging for ingredients to create beautiful, natural meals.
Weekend Adventures
Noel believes the outdoor lifestyle should be accessible to everyone. She enjoys sharing her passion for camping with those she loves and has become a weekend warrior who gets outdoors as often as possible. For Noel, camping is about the people you are with and the way you interact with the great outdoors - there is no wrong way to camp.
Happy Campers
One of the myths Janine Pettit works to dispel about the Girl Camping movement is that you have to already own a trailer to participate. She recommends not running out and buying a trailer before you know how you want to use it. There are so many trailers to choose from and you should take your time and get to know what’s out there. Janine camped with three newbies who each experienced camping for the first time in different ways. There is really no wrong way to camp like a girl.
Hear from Real RVers
When I look back on childhood, the thing that stands out to me is camping. When I’m in a vintage trailer it just evokes a memory to me of the safety you felt when you were a kid.
No fumbling in the dark with tent poles, no rummaging in a duffle for a camp stove—we just flicked on the lights, cooked dinner, and then folded out the bed.
Simon and I enjoy mountain biking. Having all my gear ready to go in the RV makes adventurous road trips easy. It’s a fun and convenient way to explore.
I think when you love something, you want to share it with those that you love. And I think that the way I was raised, camping was not just about where you went or what you did, it was about who you were with and it was important for me to be able to share that with someone that I love.
We love coming back to the same campgrounds and RV parks over and over again because we make friends here. It’s another neighborhood to hang out with family friends.
