• New to RV life

  My advice is to search up places you want to visit and things you want to do in any free time you have. This is now your hobby, lol. Use apps or websites like campendium, or https://campgrounds.rvlife.com. Remember that you need to book 6 months to a year in advance for the more popular places, especially public campgrounds and super popular areas like the Florida keys for example.

• Tell me about your planning process to book the best campsites- specifically National/state parks with hookups

  As for researching campgrounds, campendium is good. I use rvtripwizard.com for planning long routes, and it's sister-site https://campgrounds.rvlife.com/ works pretty well. Source: about 1 year ago

• RV Park Selection

  RV Life has a pretty comprehensive campground review section (https://campgrounds.rvlife.com/) that I consider when deciding on places to stay. Source: about 1 year ago

• Overwhelmed and need some advise.

• I would like to get a list of RV parks us rv’rs has been to that should be avoided with name and location and a short description of why. It will help the new people out drastically and even us experienced people who may not have been there yet. So what places to avoid?

• National Park Camping Reservation Timing

  If you check recreation.gov, there's an "availability alert" at the bottom of the page for each campground? Source: 5 months ago

• Guide Book Recs

  In the days before smart phones we used the wilderness press guide books and the PCT data book and also the pct water report, which is still out there at https://pctwater.com/. I've gotten local permits for section hikes in So Cal. It's not really very difficult to do. You can get the ones for San Jacinto by mail or in person or both (get the wilderness one in advance, get the state park one from the ranger... Source: 5 months ago

• Need help with local campsite on Recreation.gov

  I have booked a lot of campgrounds through recreation.gov, and have never seen any canvas tents to rent. The only time I have seen something even similar is the teepee rentals at KOA in Flagstaff. Campgrounds in National Forest sites, which you generally book through recreation.gov, are not going to have anything like that. Source: 6 months ago

• Question about how timed-entry permits work

  Hi there, heading to Rocky Mountain NP & Arches in a few weeks and both have only a few slots left that are later in the day. I want to book those as a last resort, but also want to try my hand to get a better time the night before. Is this possible to do on one recreation.gov account (I'm traveling alone)? Or, because of the 1 reservation max, do they not allow you to try a separate purchase process? I obviously... Source: 8 months ago

• Planning to backpack Grand Canyon rim-to-rim mid June and looking for advice

  The friend I'm going with is a teacher and her school year ends early June, thus the plan for mid-June. Curious about temps and what to expect. Also, I know this is the first year they're doing permits through recreation.gov, so I'm not expecting solid answers on this, but any guesses as to how difficult it'll be to get permits? We're planning on entering the lottery (Jan 16 is the start date for the June lottery... Source: 8 months ago
