Camping out of a teardrop trailer is different from almost any other style of camping. We don’t live in an RV. We don’t sleep in a tent. We live the best of both worlds–we’re still camping, but our cooking and cleaning are all done in the...

One of the hardest parts about hitting the road is knowing where to camp. So I’ve decided to share every single place I’ve camped–in the last 3 years, at least–to help you make your decision. I’ll post each one on my blog with a small review, and at...

This was my second night of solo camping and testing out new areas. The Mendocino National Forest was badly damaged in fires recently, but this area seems to have avoided it. I drove through so much burned out forest, that I was worried that my two-night stay in this...

Shortly after we arrived home with our new trailer we named her Green Bean and created a sign for her galley hatch. ...

Since the trailer was still relatively new, I had the itch to get out and do some grounding with the Earth. I had heard about a gem of a national park right in our backyard, Pinnacles NP. This would be my first solo camp trip ever and I was...
