When you decide to go out camping in your RV, you will find out that there are many, many places to camp. How do you decide on the best camping spot for your family? What is the difference between public and private campgrounds? Which ones are right for you?

With the right attitude and RV, you can make memories regardless of the campground you choose.  Most RV’ers just love being out there, on the road, and taking in a wide range of experiences.

Here we outline the different types of campgrounds you can choose. You will probably gravitate toward one type or another, or you may want to try staying in each type for a while and see which suits you and your family the best.

These days are certainly different from pre-2020 days, but fortunately for RV’ers, this is a great time to travel in your RV and keep appropriate social distancing, while enjoying your RV trip! You can also enjoy the pleasure of taking your furry family member along on your RV adventure, saving you the trip to the doggie day care or the cost of a pet sitter. We think that RVs are definitely the best way to take a vacation, especially if you are a dog owner. Your dog will enjoy the outdoors with you and with just a few accessories, you can make the trip enjoyable and easy and fun for all of you.

When you decide to rent an RV for the first time, you should know what things to bring that will make this experience easier and more enjoyable for you and what things to leave at home.

One of the most amazing things about going camping is to be able to look at the night sky away from all the “light pollution” in the city. You can get out in nature and enjoy wilderness or forests or hiking on interesting places by day, and at night, you get to watch the stars. Whether you’re a fan of “stargazing” or not, the difference in the night sky when you really get out of town is quite miraculous. 

These days lots and lots of satellites orbit earth but nonetheless, there are stars out there and they are abundant. Here are some of our favorite places in California to camp and look at the stars. We’ll separate these into two prime stargazing regions in Southern California. Of course, there are many more and Northern California has its share of great stargazing spots too. Just too many to cover in one blog.

When RV’ing, you may consider that you can find all the comforts of home in a well-equipped RV in a nice park. Or, you may want to break with the traditional park and go Off-Grid and get even closer to nature. In this way, you can definitely save money on campground fees while also taking getting in touch with your environment. One way of doing that is to park on BLM lands or other US Forest Service or National Park lands that are designated for campers. 

We have some suggestions here for what you will need to go off-grid and camp near the roads less traveled.
