Zion National Park has two campgrounds for RVs, both located by the South Entrance Visitor Center. The South Campground is actually just directly “north” of the Visitor Center and the Watchman Campground is just directly “south” of the Visitor Center. Only the Watchman Campground accepts reservations and if you don’t

Zion National Park – Out and About
Not only is there spectacular scenery and tons of hiking around Zion National Park, there are also some indoor activities to enjoy. There are two Visitor Centers, the Kolob Canyons Visitor Center at the West Entrance (exit 40 along I-15) and the Zion Visitor Center at the south entrance. The

We made reservations back last fall hence the inexpensive price, plus we used our Interagency Pass and received a discount. The prices for the somewhat newly installed Full Hook-Ups (FHU) at Furnace Creek Campground have increased and the sites today cost quite a bit more than when we made the

We really like Mojave National Preserve. There are two campgrounds, Hole-In-The-Wall and Mid Hills. Hole-In-The-Wall can easily fit big rigs but Mid Hills tends to be more for tenters. A small RV or camper can easily fit there though. And we found some “OH SO GREAT” boondocking spots but know

We really enjoyed our time at this wonderful national monument. We had read mixed reviews about this place and were a bit unsure but ended up absolutely loving this place. The hiking was terrific and we enjoyed the campground. We got the permit to hike to Dripping Springs one day

We are in a world of our own over the Christmas holidays with lots of wonderful hiking and less than 5 minutes to stores. The main part of the park is packed during the Christmas season but Black Rock remains quiet and peaceful. Pure heaven. Even had a bit of

A picture perfect week. Weather was ideal and we did lots of bike riding and hiking. OK, I will be honest, my husband put me through boot camp! A few swampy areas where the bike tires got full of mud…pedal, pedal, pedal faster…and the bike would go NOWHERE!!! Time to

What can you say about this, it’s Denali! Beautiful scenery and wildlife. The campground is one of many but it is the main one near the entrance of the park. Don’t plan on just driving up and getting a site (although you may be lucky). Reservations certainly help and even

The incredible beauty of the Kenai Fjords is hard to resist. We decided to take a day cruise on Resurrection Bay in the Kenai Fjords National Park departing from Seward. And are we glad we did. It turned out to be a perfect day. The weather was fantastic, the sky
