How a campground joins the network
Browse by how you travel
Every collection has its own criteria on top of our global standard. Properties earn their badges — they can't buy them.
Melissa & Travis
We sold our house, pulled our kids out of traditional school, and hit the road in our 45-foot Brinkley G 3950. Not to escape — to live with more intention. Along the way, we discovered that finding a genuinely great campground that can handle a big rig and meet our standards is absurdly hard.
The apps are ad-supported and incentivized to list everything. The reviews are unreliable. And nobody tells you when to go. So we started keeping a journal. Then a spreadsheet. Then other full-time families started asking for our list.
Travis builds the tech. Melissa sets the standard. If the bathhouse doesn't pass Melissa's 10pm Saturday night test, it doesn't make the cut. No exceptions.
