We will be heading to Oregon from New Mexico, going through Bakersfield. It looks like we will have a couple more days than we thought-is it possible to take a drive through Yellowstone? I know campsites are fully booked, but is there any plausible way to see some of that beautiful park as a day trip?

What resource do you use to locate campsites when you are on the road? We are heading out in a couple of weeks, and plan to go, then when time/fatigue dictates look at what campsites are coming up and then see if we can get a reservation (and boondock if not). What are your favorites?

We are heading out to fulltime, starting out in Medford Oregon. We will be driving west to Bakersfield, then heading North, and are looking into possible stops on our five day hourney. Does anyone have any tips on campsites? We would also like to boondock as much as possible...any great spots to sugge...

I know this will be very case by case, but a former fulltimer said many times there are small bars that have live music near (ish) campsites. I will be working nights, and my sweet husband loves music-is what my friend said true? Have you found that many times there is a little bar with bands relatively c...

We're currently in a campground in Canada visiting family. We've stayed here before, like the place etc etc. This time we're here for 2 months and 8 days.(the longest we've ever stayed at one place in 3.5 years) I went to settle up the bill expecting to pay for 2 months, 8 days at the monthly rate.

Can anyone make a recommendation for a campground on the Tennessee side of Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park? I don't think that I can stay in the park because of the length restrictions. What town is the best area for access to the park? We'd like to stay for ~week and am mostly interested in the park and park ac...

Anybody have a good recommendation for a campground very near to Acadia National Park? I really wanted to stay in the park but it appears that there's a length restriction of 35 feet, our 5ver is 37 feet so it looks like we'll need to stay outside the park. I saw some good ones at RVParkReviews.com but wa...

Because of all the problems along the gulf coast I am considering spending some winter months on the Atlantic coast. Does anyone know of campgrounds in SC, Georgia, or northern Florida that you would recommend. Thank you for your help.

I have made reservations at Surf City Family Campground for August 2 for 4 nights. I was wondering if anyone had stayed there before. I know that it is close enough to the ocean that you can supposedly here the waves breaking.

Is there a decent site to look at campsites around the country? I would like to kind of know what we might expect when we hit the road. Thanks!

We will be heading out on vacation in a few weeks to meet up with some family in Franklin. We thought we would ask and see if any one had any good campgrounds to recommend. Also we would love any suggestions of activites in the area. We will be there the first week of July. Thanks in advance John and Terr...

We are trying to calculate our budget, and wondered what kind of prices we might expect (understanding that there are huge differences, just looking for an average here). We will be in an area for approx 13 weeks at a time, what, in your opinion, can we expect to pay for a 3 month stay in a campground (per n...

Has anyone camped on Ocracoke Island, NC. There are 3 campgrounds there, Teeters, Beachcomber and a State Park. Only draw back to the State Park is no electricity, and it will be too hot for me without a/c. Reviews I have seen on Teeters and Beachcomber are not too good.

Ray and I just got back from a week in Rutherfordton, NC at a campground that caters to dogs. It is supposed to be the only 1 in the US, and has 7 different dog areas, a pond, agility courses, hiking trails, etc. It is called 4 Paws Kingdom, and our 3 dogs had a blast. We have stayed at campgrounds with bigg...

On our way to the RV-Dreams rally, it appears we will be on the road between Gatlinburg, TN but not yet to Myrtle Beach, SC on Easter weekend.
