Dellanera is a beach front RV Park just west of the busy part of Galveston where the piers and attractions are and is run by the City. I think if I had originally had a site on the west end of the park rather than the east end, I would have been happier and stayed... Continue Reading →
Nauvoo State Park and Historic Site, Nauvoo, Illinois
Nauvoo is a place of historical significance and the state park is almost within walking distance of the historic village and visitor’s center. The LDS Church (Mormons) purchased and built up this town in the 1840s, after being kicked out of Missouri and before they were run out 15 years later, eventually settling in Salt...

Elk Rock State Park, Knoxville, Iowa
It's almost the off season, end of September, and so the park does have a little different atmosphere, fall leaves, some rain, and empty during the week and almost full on the weekend. This large state park has a "regular" or non-equestrian campground area and an equestrian area. Elk Rock State Park is on Red... Continue Reading →
Dog Parks in Branson, MO
I've only been here for 5 days but plan on staying all summer so we've already checked out some of the dog-friendly entertainment. I'm staying in Hollister, just across the river from Branson and a quick 3 minute drive. Branson does tend to get crowded, traffic-wise, especially on weekends in the summer so I wanted...

Tulsa NE / Will Rogers Downs KOA, Claremore, OK
This KOA Journey is about 33 miles east of downtown Tulsa with tolls or 37 miles without and about 85 miles from Joplin, MO. I took the turnpike (Hwy 44) from Choctaw and the toll for a motorhome towing was $12.25 at one stop and $2.25 at the final stop. Save your receipts so you... Continue Reading →
Things to Come
They always say to post often on blogs so your readers don't get bored or leave. This is a travel blog and I won't be traveling for awhile so I thought I would write about future plans so at least you know what to expect in months to come. My way of traveling will be... Continue Reading →
Great Plains State Park, Mountain Home, OK
I was able to book one week here with a full hook up site after getting a recommendation from a camper in New Mexico. This state park is on the border near Texas and is quite close to Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. The biggest attraction is probably the huge lake, Tom Sneed Reservoir, which is...
