(615)-889-51981810 Stewarts Ferry PikeHermitage, TN 37076 I have to thank Mary for recommending Seven Points Campground, just outside of Nashville, TN in their blog post on Reflections Around the Campfire.

Laura Ingalls Wilder RV Park Campground. Mansfield, Missouri
(417)-924-13032991 Highway AMansfield, MO 65704 The plan was to take 4 leisurely days to make the 3-day drive from Colorado to Tennessee, parking for free along the way. Stopped at the Super Walmart in Great Bend, KS after a full day of driving in nearly 100° weather. Went inside to let Customer Service know my […]
Chief Hosa State Park Campground. Golden, Colorado
(303)-526-132427661 Genesee DriveGolden, CO 80401 As I’ve stated in past blogs, it can be tough to reserve RVing sites on the weekends anywhere remotely near Denver, however, I lucked out with a 12-day stay at Chief Hosa State Park Campground in Golden, CO. The campground host couple, Jerry and Ron, were superbly helpful, especially when […]
Black Canyon of the Gunnison State Park Campground. Gunnison, Colorado
9800 Highway 347Montrose, CO 81401 One of the worst parts of visiting Black Canyon of Gunnison State Park is the drive-in. My wife and I left Golden, CO, and drove west and south, through ski country and gorgeous mountain roads. We skirted around Salida and the 25,000 people attending the Mumford & Sons concert and […]

(303)-690-11664201 S. Parker Rd.Aurora, CO 80014 I tried to get a site at Cherry Creek State Park Campground in Aurora, CO all summer but had to wait till my last night in the Denver area to secure one. Now I can see why. Only 15 miles from downtown Denver, Aurora is a spacious, gorgeous area. […]
Barr Lake RV Park. Brighton, Colorado
(303)-659-618017180 E 136th AveBrighton, CO 80601 Scrambling for a vacant RV site on the outskirts of Denver proved to be a challenge, more so than in any area I’ve visited yet. Finally found a weeklong cancellation at the Barr Lake RV Park in Brighton, CO. I don’t think they have a dedicated website – I […]
Riverside RV Resort & Campground. Bartlesville, Oklahoma
(918) 336-64311211 SE Adams Blvd.Bartlesville, OK 74003 After my less than pleasant night camped out in a truck stop, and driving all day in 100+ degree temperatures, I made the executive decision to stop and take a break. A quick look through my invaluable Passport America directory pointed me towards the Riverside RV Resort & […]
