Anyone else frustrated with booking sites in 2021???
I was SO ready to camp last year, so excited. I was all ready with alerts in my phone calendar to book 11 months in advance, schedule around my in-laws so they could watch the dogs (they are not camping dogs), and make sure I knew EXACTLY what parks and what site we wanted. I…
Is it my allergies? Nope, it’s the camping itch!

The Best Campfire Starter EVER!
I’m sure everyone has their own special way to start a campfire, but this is our preferred, tried and true way. Granted, we have one tool that ALWAYS does the job. Kyle knows I’m a bit of a pyromaniac and every year we typically get each other a “happy camping gift”. Yeah, I know, we’re…
