Also, get your free trip planning template (link in video!) This past year we’ve stayed at some pretty cool places and we wanted to share these top picks with you all:

00:00 Intro
01:46 #1 Gouldings in Monument Valley, Utah – https://gouldings.com/
Why we love it – the views are amazing, private hiking and walking trails right at the campground.
What to know if you go – internet service and cell service are poor in the whole region. Plan on being “unplugged” for most of the time.
Things to see: The Forest Gump road, Mexican hat, etc.

03:56 #2 Disney’s Fort Wilderness, Orlando, FL https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/campsites-at-fort-wilderness-resort
Why we love it – the whole Disney experience is top notch! Lots of things to do and it feels like you are in the woods.
What to know if you go – book way in advance especially around peak times like Christmas, Halloween, etc.
Things to see: rent a golf cart and drive around the campgrounds (or ride bikes) – Disney parks and transportation (ferry’s, etc).

06:08 #3 Pacific Dunes RV Oceano, CA
What we love about it – The dunes! These are amazing and you can climb them and head to the beach or sled down the dunes, it’s amazing!
What to know if you go – The Campground it self isn’t anything to write home about, but the dunes! Also, it’s part of the Thousands Trails system, so if you are a TT member that’s a plus.
What to see/where to go: Climb the dunes! Santa Cruz within a 30 min drive, Pismo Beach, the cinnamon rolls from Old West Cinnamon Rolls

09:06 #4 Watchman Campground Zion National Park https://www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/watchman-campground.htm

Why we love it – The views! Close and easy access to the shuttles (when running) and hiking trails. We walked down to a creek and played in the water.
What to know if you go: Only water and electric sites, there is a dump station, also it was a tight fit with a 40 foot rig and our Jeep on the site.
What to see/where to go: Hiking, scenic drives – The Narrows is a bucket list item and we are glad to have done that with our family!

11:20 #5 Ramblers Rest Campground https://www.rvonthego.com/florida/ramblers-rest-rv-campground
Why we love it: Convenient location to Gulf Coast beaches, near Sarasota FL
What to know if you go: It’s a Thousand Trails park – so if you are a TT member, bonus! You can also stay at Thousand Trails parks WITHOUT being a member! I get discount codes often in my email so make sure to sign up for TT emails.
What to see/where to go: Casperson beach – look for shark teeth, Venice beach, Siesta Beach, Sarasota. Tons to do in this area of Florida!

    We are actually behind you in traffic! We’re on the Florida turnpike stuck in traffic because of an accident. My husband just let you into our lane so we decide to look up your YouTube channel on the back of your Jeep. Looks like you have some amazing adventures!! Maybe you guys can do a video of being stuck in traffic 😂😂😂 While we’re stuck in traffic we’re going to look at your videos and see your adventures

  3. Mike Ward on October 1, 2021 at 8:02 am

    Do you have a link to the Thousand Trails mailing list? Don’t see it on their web site.

    Are Spanish Americans allowed? I hate being places where me and my family are looked at awkwardly .

  9. Crafty Traveler on October 1, 2021 at 8:23 am

  13. Randy Stanley on October 1, 2021 at 8:29 am

    Hope yawl are well,, ? Regarding traveling in Motorhome with generator on to run air conditioning unit seems like a possible safety issue to me your thoughts.

  14. Justin C on October 1, 2021 at 8:29 am

    Santa Cruz is definitely not 30 mins north of Pismo, but some even better places are. Paso Robles (Wine country), Hearst Castle, Morro Bay, Big Sur, and the Elephant Seal rookeries nearby are worth visits. It’s an incredible area of California.

    Siesta Key RV Resort in Long Key Florida

  19. Reginald Vickers on October 1, 2021 at 8:41 am

    Thanks for the video and all of your information and the time you put into it. We enjoy watching you guys. In December we started our maiden voyage with Most-time RVing and we are currently at Ramblers Rest (going on 4 weeks- with a 1 week trip to Costa Rica in the middle- yes, you can travel out of US). It really is a great park. The only negative is the traffic on 777. The park you have got to try is River’s End in Tybee Island. It’s a 2 mile island outside of Savannah and just a skip and a hop walk to the ocean. That is our favorite. Thanks again.

  20. Han K on October 1, 2021 at 8:47 am

    Thanks for the information. We enjoyed the Hilton Head Harbor RV resort and Marina at Hilton Heads Island. There are water spots on premises and tons of activities plus great food in the Island

  21. Bob Adams on October 1, 2021 at 8:50 am

    Can’t find where to get on Thousand Trails email list. Any suggestions.

  22. Bonita on October 1, 2021 at 8:51 am

    Must see campground is Kodachrome State Park in Utah. Absolutely stunning.

  23. It’s A Good Life With Dora & Ed on October 1, 2021 at 8:51 am
