A couple traveling full time, debt-free, with their dogs in a Travel Trailer - weekly blog and podcast.

Convenient Location!

This campground is right off the interstate and in the middle of the town. To our surprise the campground was very quiet and well maintained. The check in process was seamless and the staff was friendly. The bath house was clean and the showers were warm. We would definitely stay here again when passing through!

Large Campsites!

This campground and campsites are large and you can hear the falls in the background. Each site comes with a picnic table and wood that looks like leftovers from a lumber mill in the area. The campground is primitive with new power, water or sewer but there is an out house near the park. The park is well maintained and the grass is cut which helps out with the mosquitoes. If you're looking for a quiet spot in the middle of the woods, this is your spot!

Awesome spot in the heart of the Black Hills!

We stayed here for a wedding at the horse camp/travel trailer spots. This is a unique property due to its location and amenities. There are cabins, a variety of RV spots, a general store and a bar. The location is very clothes to ATV and horse trailers. If your wanting to do some trail rides and we experience the Black Hills this is your campground. We would stay here again and go trail riding!

Awesome place for a work camper or a fisherman!

We stayed here during a deployment for work. We were one of many work campers staying at this RV park. They have the basic amenities as a bathroom and laundry room. The sites are roomy and well maintained as the owner mowed the sites often. The campground is near a river so beware of the mosquitoes. We will stay here again when in the area. Also you can get 50% off with passport america pass!

Great FREE campsite!

This municipal Texhoma Park Campground is FREE. The sites are essential in a parking lot and have electrical hookups only. These sites do fill up quickly so get in and setup before the late afternoon or early evening. There is a spot to fill your water tank and along with a dump station near the playground. There is a bathhouse with toilets only and no shower. The playground is decent sized and slightly dated but there is a separate dog park area so you don't need to worry about stepping in poop. We would recommend making this a stop on your road trip.

This campground is one of our favorite and centrally located!

Hickory Creek Park is one of our favorite campgrounds that we visited in 2021 so far(it's tough to beat too). The location of this campground feels secluded from the city but close to the highway so you can be in the city within a few minutes drive. The campsites are spread out and have great water pressure and electrical hook-ups no matter what type you need(50, 30 or 15 amps). The layout of the campground allows you to take long walks throughout the different loops and walking paths themselves. The bath houses are like your standard state park sites and nothing to write home about. The only downside is the overall air traffic that you hear and see over the park from the Dallas-Fort Worth airport(it's cool initially but after a few nights it does get old). Did I forget to mention this campground is surrounded by water! There are many sites that you can stay at and have a lakeside campground(the water appears clean and our dog loved it!). We would recommend this campground and will stay here again on a visit to the Dallas area!

Awesome free road side campground!

This roadside veteran style park is perfect for setting up camp and resting your eyes. We only stayed here for about 8 total hours but it was worth every penny. This campground is FREE and offers electricity and water hook-ups. If you have kids there is a playground and ample room for your human or fir babies to run free and burn energy. If you pass through this is a must go to stop(even just to stretch the legs! We would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a safe and free campground!

Great spot for extended stay and to enjoy the lake!

Not safe to camp - ATV site

This site is actually the River Site ATV trails which appears to be where local people with their dirk bikes and ATV ride the trails. It's right by the river off the hwy, trash is everywhere and it looks like a very unsafe area. Which was confirmed as we were turning around in the lot to get the heck out of there, a game warden pulled up to all the trucks parked under the overpass. Definitely looked like a super sketchy area. Also it's full dirt so don't go down there if it's wet.

The recreation area is actually about 45-60 mins east of where this pin is on the map.

We would have taken a picture of the shady location but we were too quick to get the heck out of there.

Easy access with hiking/horse trails

We enjoyed our overnight stay near the trailhead. We weren't sure about the accessibility to the trailhead road with our 23 foot travel trailer so we opted to stay off road 904, where the horse trailers park, since there were some nice flat spots. Since we were just staying overnight as we were traveling back to the Midwest we didn't check out the other options. We did call the park Ranger and he said the trailhead is a great place to camp and easy to access with a trailer. Our hot spot on our cell phone was slow since we only had a couple bars, but we were able to get our work done. I would stay here again. We enjoyed a nice hike in the morning before we headed out.

Great spot to rest your eyes after a long day of driving

There are many free spots on this road where you can pull off and setup a tent or small RV. The spot we stayed was nestled near a lake that offered a great sunrise and sunset. Thank goodness there were some hard frosts before and I could only imagine this spot being infested with mosquitos. This was a nice spot for an afternoon and stay for the night but I don’t think we would have stayed longer at our specific site (we passed about 2 other sites that looked slightly more roomy. Overall we would recommend this area if you need a FREE place to stay with awesome sunrises and sunsets. Also check when the hunting season is as we just missed it and based on others reviews from other websites it would have not been a pleasant morning to wake up to gunshots.

Sleep with the prairie dogs and were the bison roam!

Sage Creek Campground is a unique place to pop up a tent and sleep with the prairie dogs and where the bison roam. You are literally camping next to them! This is a first come first serve campground that is FREE in the National Park Service! Motor homes, pull behind trailers, and other recreational vehicles greater than 18 feet in length are prohibited. The limitation does not apply to horse trailers as a portion of the Sage Creek Campground is designated for horse use. Get to this campsite early as it does fill up fast(I would say before 2:00 pm). This campground provides a unique experience where you are staying in the prairie. There also are some backcountry sites that you can check out as well, but were full by the time we were going to set up camp. We recommend checking out this campground and checking the unbelievable night time stars!

Relax and unwind at this privative campground!

Lake Auburn Campground part of the Carver Park Reserve was an awesome primitive style campground. We stayed here in late September and into October. There are 57 sites with an unguarded beach, playground, volleyball court and tons of miles of trails to shred on foot or bike. All of the campsites are very clean along with all of the other facilities and amenities they offered. The playground is awesome for all ages as it accommodates something for all ages and size groups from a traditional playground set for the younger ones, volleyball net and concrete bag toss boards(which you would need to bring your own bags, but possibly could rent if the office was open). I think there are more things that you can rent when the office is open as well(only during prime season). We would highly recommend staying at this campground and look forward to checking it out in the summertime!

Great spot to relax and enjoy nature!

Amazing lakes with extra large campsites. This was another favorite during our trip through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. There was a limited number of campsites available but all were very large with a fire ring and picnic table. While driving up to the campground you are on a picturesque 2 lane highway with trees surrounding you. As you pull in the campground is well taken care of with the campsites spread out from on another. If you have a kayak or canoe bring it as there are spots to launch your vessel. The vaulted toilets were clean and the drinking water was pure. We would stay here again except we would stay longer!

Wish we could have stayed longer!

During our trip through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan this was one of my favorite campgrounds. The only reason we didn't stay longer was fear of our rig not starting up again and leaving us stranded. This campground had LARGE campsites with 2 separate loops and plenty of room between campsites. There was only one other group at this campground on the second loop which we never saw. The road to this campground is gravel and is a very pretty drive winding through the woods. At night it is very surreal as the only sounds you hear are the ones you make and an empty night sky. The canopy tree cover makes it tough to see the night sky but there are openings where you can see the sky full of stars. The lake was very peaceful and calm. There were a couple of small docks at each of the campground loops. If you have dogs beware the lake bottom is heavy dark mud and can be troublesome getting off your dog if they decide to take a dip. They also have clean vaulted toilets which is always nice(just beware of large spiders). We would recommend staying at this campground for an extended stay!

Large Campground with lots of "permanent" sites

This is your typical summer ultimate hangout spot for all and locals alike. There were tons of permanent. RV spots as this campground has over 300 sites and many of them had full service hook-ups. We stayed during the slow season and was raining the entire time. When the rain periodically stopped we were able to explore the expansive campground which allowed for a nice walk. Due to the ground being completely saturated at the time we weren’t able to explore off the paved or gravel roads. Overall it was a great dated campground to stop at. In the summer time I’m sure this place is hopping with all of the amenities open. We would come back here again during the off season as we don’t like the crowds of people!

TONS of stuff to do and see with large RV sites!

We stayed at the Historic Blakeley State Park campground in the Apalachee Campground. This is a super cool campground and state park with tons of stuff to do. The RV campsites are very spread out providing ample privacy from your neighbors and other park visitors while still providing water, power and sewer hookup ups. This campground loop was named in honor of the Apalachee Indians who once occupied park grounds. We would recommend staying at this campground or even the tent sites as there is TONS of stuff to do with lots of history!

Great location to hear waves crashing on both sides while you sleep

The location of the campground is great with awesome sounds and sights nearby. The campground itself was completely full and felt like we were packed in like sardines with many of the other campers not respecting our campground site or park rules in general. I saw numerous people strolling across other people's campsites along with ours. People also did not use appropriate firewood and collected it from the park(which they got talked to by the Park Rangers). Once everyone’s excitement settled down at night about 10:30 pm you could hear the sound of the waves crashing from the Gulf of Mexico and the bay. This made for an easy night sleep. We would recommend staying at this campground as the location had great history and things to do from touring Fort Pickens, walking the beach, fishing or taking a stroll on the Florida Trail.

Great location and value for the $$$

This campground is nestled in the middle of a neighborhood on Lake Dallas. There are about 15 RV sites(30/50 amp), 15 primitive sites with showers and restrooms. This campground is well patrolled and maintained. There is a couple mile walking trail at starting at the campground that is paved. The campsites are pretty well spread out and many of them have awesome views of the lake. We would stay here again!

Worst WMA Land Ever Visited

This WMA land is the worst that I have ever stayed at. If you stay here and don’t need to leave your vehicle your probably safe. We ended up staying here on our drive from Texas to Alabama and thought it was a great spot on the map to stop as its close to the highway(Historic Highway 80). The location was great due to the proximity to the highway and there was very minimal road noise. Since we got their late at night we were unable to really get a full lay of the land. We pulled in and used the turnaround and setup camp. After an incident that night with our dog rolling in human feces we knew we wouldn’t like the site of the camp in the morning. After we cleaned him(thank goodness we had lots of water and dog shampoo) we went to bed only to hear barking of stray dogs. The next morning we kept our dogs on a tight leash and were in disarray with the amount of garbage and trash around the camping area. Overall don’t stay here unless you absolutely have to. The road in is Gravel and.05 miles from a paved road. Russell Sage WMA is open Year round. There are 1-5 campsites at this location and the maximum RV length is 25 feet. You may stay 14 days at Russell Sage WMA.
