Percha Dam State Park, Arrey, New Mexico
This lesser known (and less crowded) state park is just south of the more popular Caballo Lake and Elephant Butte state parks. Although I haven’t been to the other two I think they are booked more so harder to get reservations. Just from looking at pictures, it seems like Percha Dam has more trees and... Continue Reading →
Enchanted Trails RV Park, Albuquerque, NM
This RV park was recommended to me by neighbors where I live. I've stayed at the Casino Resort RV Park about 10 miles west three times but I knew I would want to be as close to home as possible my last day of driving. To be fair, I didn't really get to explore all... Continue Reading →
Opinion — A Class C RV really was my best buy
Why I chose what I did when making my RV decision Okay, so everyone’s situation is different but in my humble opinion my Class C was definitely the best way to go based on what I’ve seen around me in my travels. Here’s why. First, my experience with camping and RVing: Went with parents in... Continue Reading →
Needles KOA Journey, Needles, CA
Last time I was in Needles, I stayed for a week at another RV Park by the river but this time, I was just going to stay for a quick overnight and needed a pull-thru so I booked here. It's not by the river but there is a quick view of a piece of the... Continue Reading →
Tucumcari KOA Journey, Tucumcari, NM
Tucumcari has some fun places to check out when you are passing through, including iconic Route 66 motels and museums. Last time I was here, I stayed at a picturesque historic RV Park called Cactus RV Park that, unfortunately, ended up going the way of many of the original Route 66 businesses and was sold...

Amarillo KOA Journey, Amarillo, TX
This KOA Journey is off of I-40 just before you reach the heart of Amarillo. Although it seems to be stuck in the middle of nowhere it's a popular stopping off point for travelers, hence the name. It doesn't look like much, it was very dusty and windy the day I was there and there... Continue Reading →

Burkburnett/Wichita Falls KOA Journey, Burkburnett, TX
This KOA journey was convenient and on the way to Lawton, Oklahoma from Wichita Falls, Texas. The road and sites were gravel but there were grassy patches with picnic tables at every site, making it less dreary than some travelers RV Parks. There appeared to be a handful of full timers around the perimeters but... Continue Reading →
Sea Rim State Park, Sabine Pass, Texas
I love the gulf and when friends said they were coming here for two days and wanted to know if I wanted to join them, I jumped at the chance. This is a small state park, mostly pull-thru sites, with water and electricity. Don't be discouraged as you pass all the oil refineries on the... Continue Reading →
