Second month by the Numbers Dates: July 21-August 21)3 states5 campgrounds550 miles$3836 spent If you’ve not already, be sure to read about our first month on the road. To give a little recap, in month one we covered five states, and spent about half as much as we did this past month. Keep reading to see why our costs went up despite slowing down. How we spent...
What we saw, did, ate and where we stayed during our three week RV trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. 3 weeks in the Black Hills just isn't enough.
When I first began doing research into campgrounds and RV Parks in the Black Hills, I ran across Heartland RV Park. It looked really awesome, but it was a bit expensive for us, with posted rates at around $80/night. But, the reviews were glowing and it had amenities that looked amazing. In our efforts to find a lower cost alternative, we pushed Heartland RV Park out...
Have you ever wondered what makes a resort a resort? Yeah, me too. The more “resorts” we stay at the more I wonder where that name comes from. In the case of Elk Creek Resort, I believe it might have been a nice little resort back in the 70s or 80s, now it’s just a campground. We stayed at Elk Creek Resort in Piedmont, SD (about 20 minutes north of...
Full-time RV travel isn't cheap, not if you want to stay at RV parks and have access to all the amenities. But, we have found a few ways to save money on our travels, without sacrificing, and without boondocking.

Friendly owners, great sites, a clean campground and lots of amenities. There's only one thing not to like about Clarksville RV Park & Campground (well, besides having to leave it).
Our first two weeks on the road have been full of adventure and learning. We set out with a general path in mind, but very little actually planned. We knew we wanted to head North up to Iowa, then West across SD before heading South through CO. But, we weren’t totally sure where wanted to stop or how long we wanted to stay, so we didn’t actually book many...
In our first 9 months of living full-time in our RV, we spent four and a half months at Sharon Johnston Park campground (over three different stays). Why we call this park home.
