We're not going to Des Moines now, and we're still at a loss for a place to stay near Davenport.  Everything looks so blah.  It would be nice to have a nice site with laundry facilities and a good playground. It would be a bonus if there was a place to hike or something interesting but not...

Looking for good campgrounds near these areas.  My family will hang out in the campground near Davenport while I attend a seminar for 3 days.  So a pool and activities are a must.  Not worried about the cost.  Then we're all headed to the IA state fair for a couple days.  Can you please...

We've stayed at the Double J and would also recommend it

We were SO close to buying a Cherokee BH last year (maybe not the exact same model as you're talkiing about though...but very similar) when we ended up falling in love with our 2015 Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8327 also by Forest River.  Both look well made and have nice finishes. I'll tell...

We made the trip from Chicago area to Niagara Falls a few years ago and blogged about it.  We went up through Michigan and Canada on the way there and down through New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana on the way back.  We didn't exactly have the same goals as you (nature and no big cities)...

Last time we were in this area, we camped at the Jellystone in Quarryville and liked it so much we have to do it again.  DH said we should work in a day in Philadelphia too.  We'll see.  I think we'll end up thinking we haven't seen and done everything we want to in Lancaster County if we do. ...

Thanks, everyone!  We made reservations for Grizzly in mid September. 

Good info!  Thanks! Can't wait to go!

Our first RV trip of this year will be east to Hershey Park, time in Lancaster County including Dutch Wonderland, then skipping Idlewild and Cedar Point (went to both last time) and to King's Island.  There are 7 of us including kids ages 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10!  We plan to leave the Wednesday after...

IF Fishing Bridge is available when we go, would you choose to stay there or West Yellowstone? Going to try to leave mid September if not sooner given the info provided.  Thanks!

Very good info!  Thanks!  I did not realize this.  Does it make more sense to try to stay in Yellowstone?  We're looking at traveling in late September/ 1st week of October.  Should we aim for a week or two earlier or will we be fine then?  I see camping sites closing in Yellowstone at...

Thanks.  That's one of the places we were looking at.  Was wondering if we should try to stay on the east side of Yellowstone as that's where we're coming from (actually we'll visit Grand Tetons first) and that's where we'll be heading afterward. When we originally planned to do this trip last...

We have a 36' travel trailer and don't like to rough it too much!  Should we stay outside the park?  Are there no electrical hookups in the park?  Only water and sewer at Fishing Bridge? I kind of like the idea of staying in Yellowstone, BUT also like my modern conveniences.  Not even sure if...

Wow!  We certainly haven't started researching yet and I sure we'll do that a year or so before we actually plan to go, but that would be great to have that much time to do it.  We'll really have to plan ahead!  I know it's off topic but do you have any suggested itinerary for such a trip.

That all sounds great, and you didn't even mention our favorite place...The City Museum.  I've never been, but my husband and kids rave about it!
