San Francisco RV Resort in Pacifica, CA
We spent 8 nights at San Francisco RV Resort and really enjoyed our stay. It’s located right on the ocean just south of San Francisco. So just know upfront that you are paying for the location! This is a nice place to park your RV while you head out to explore the city or simply sit by the

Gateway to Cape Cod RV Park, Rochester, MA TT Review
A great RV Park home base for visits to Cape Cod and Plymouth, Gateway to Cape Cod is a quiet, wooded campground with dirt roads and dirt sites. We stayed in September and if you’re lucky like we were, you could score a fabulous spot nestled among the trees and feel like there’s no-one else

TrailChat Q&A: Favorite Camping Gear and Places
This week, Thousand Trails invited us to participate in a Twitter #TrailChat about favorite camping places, gear and essentials, alongside leading industry brands Airstream, Coleman and Teton Sports.
