Leech Lake Campground (June 16-29) 2025
I’ll be honest, when Ed said we were going to stay at Leech Lake, I was not really excited about it! Turns out, there are no leeches at Leech Lake. *whew* We got a wonderful site! I really enjoyed this campground. It was peaceful and woodsy. We set up the CLAM to hang out in.…

Sawmill Campground (May 18-June 16) 2025
We are getting the map filled in pretty good! We arrived in Mankato, Minnesota and got settled in a site at Sawmill Campground. I was apprehensive about this campground, as the reviews were pretty negative. Lots of complaints about the owner who apparently can be a real grump. When we checked in, the lady who…

Neshonoc Lakeside Encore (May 16-18) 2025
We arrived at Neshonoc Lakeside campground which is an Encore campground. We got a nice shady site located at the top of a hill. I was initally put off by the lack of a real ‘pad’, no gravel, asphalt or concrete, but in all honesty, this was a great site. I was worried about how…

Milton KOA (May 15) 2025
Speaking of weather, this was a crazy windy night with a wild storm. It was nice to be in a secure area with a nice concrete pad and no really huge older trees to stress about. This KOA is really nice and I loved the site, it had a nice patio area that was secluded.…

Kankakee South KOA (May 14) 2025
We drove to Chebanse, Illinois for a one night stay. We schedule for almost a year out, so when something like repairs interrupt our schedule, we have to do some overnight stays to ‘catch up’ to our reservations. We have a somewhat difficult to get reservation for Yellowstone’s Fishing Bridge campground, we had to forgo…

Shipshewana South (May 12-14) 2025
We picked up June and she is all repaired and pretty again! We stayed in Shipshewana for a couple days just to insure there were no issues with the repairs and also to be able to go to the market, as it was the first official weekend! I got two adorable wooden figures for outdoor…

Camperless Travel (May 5-11) 2025
May 5-We dropped off the camper for repairs and drove to Holland, Michigan to attend the tulip festival. It was beautiful and I took a billion photos of tulips, I will not post them all. LOL We stopped at couple of lighthouses and stayed the night in Muskegon at the Holiday Inn. May 6-We drove…

Shipshewana South (April 13-May 5) 2025
We stayed the night at the Blue Gate Hotel while the new fridge was installed. We are getting a fully electric fridge that doesn’t require any propane. After the fridge was installed, we settled into the Shipshewana South Campground. It is a nice campground. We originally were booked at a KOA, but it was not…

TT Indian Lakes in Batesville, IN (April 2-13) 2025
We arrived to a pretty empty campground. It’s early in the season for this area and we were surprised, as when we have been here before, this campground has been pretty packed. We got a great corner site that had tons of room. The only drawback was that when we arrived, there was an issue…

Renfro Valley KOA in Mt. Vernon, KY (April 1) 2025
This was just an overnight stay on our way to a TT campground. Ed booked a nice site with our very own fenced in dog area. The patio was nice and we had a swing. The KOA is really nice and would stay here again if ever in the area. We went to Berea to…
Got any book recommendations?
