Camping can be a great way to spend time together with your family.  You get away from the distractions at home.  You can unplug from the constant barrage of notifications on your cell phone.  You can see new places and experience new things.  Excited, but not sure where to start? When you are preparing for your first camping trip, your experience might go something like this:

Step 1 –  You and your family decided to give camping a try.

Step 2 – You picked out the perfect RV. (Stuck on this step?  Stop by RV Wholesale Superstore)

Step 3 – Your brand-new RV is sitting in front of your house.

Step 4 – You get stuck trying to think of an amazing trip that would be fun for the whole family.

Now how do you make sure everyone in the family has a great time on that first trip and can’t wait to do it again?

The best part of camping is “getting away from it all.” But the most popular camping sites are just that: popular. While our national parks are great for camping, they’re not for everyone. If you’re looking for genuine solitude and a chance to relax with nothing but you, your family and nature, it’s time to go camping off the beaten path. But where are the best places to go? Here are a few secluded campgrounds to whet your appetite – plus some tips for finding more places for camping off the beaten path.

Camping is all about enjoying the outdoors and finding time to relax away from our typically busy lives. When you really want to disconnect, the best way to do it is dry camping. Also called “boondocking,” dry camping is when you take your RV somewhere away from the typical stations and hook-ups of designated campgrounds.

Without the amenities of the campground, it’s important to know how best to conserve your water and electricity to fully enjoy your trip without running into problems, especially if you’re traveling with pets. Read our RV boondocking tips to learn great ways to maximize your dry camping outing.
