Campgrounds & Overnight Stops
Scenic Park: Close to Family, Right on the Missouri
Scenic Park in South Sioux City keeps us close to family and friends, with a familiar campsite and time beside the Missouri River.
Campgrounds & Overnight Stops
Campgrounds, RV parks, rest areas, and other places where we stopped for a night or stayed awhile. These notes are less about ranking places and more about what the stop was actually like for us.
Campgrounds & Overnight Stops
Buckhorn Lake Resort — Kerrville, TX
Buckhorn Lake Resort northwest of Kerrville was our next stop after leaving La Vernia, where we had spent about five months. We stayed at Buckhorn for roughly a week, which gave us a chance to ease back into traveling instead of immediately jumping into long driving days. It is definitely
Campgrounds & Overnight Stops
Gather Campground — Belton, TX
We’ve stayed at Gather Campground in Belton several times now, and it has become one of the places we’re comfortable returning to when our route takes us along I-35 through Central Texas. One of those stays turned out to be considerably more memorable than we expected. We
Arizona
Country Roads Rv Village — Yuma, AZ
We stayed at Country Roads RV Village in Yuma in January 2024, and it was the first truly massive RV community Lisa and I had ever stayed in. With roughly 1,300 privately owned lots spread across about 140 acres, it felt less like an RV park and more like
Arizona
Tucson KOA Resort — Tucson, AZ
We spent a couple of days at the Tucson KOA Resort after meeting up with Fred and Gina, before the four of us continued west toward Yuma. It was a good place to slow down for a bit, spend some time together, and break up the drive. The campground is

The RV Park at the Pima County Fairgrounds — Tucson, AZ
The RV Park at the Pima County Fairgrounds has become one of our practical Tucson stops. It isn’t trying to be a landscaped RV resort, but that isn’t really what we need when we’re passing through. The sites are open, there’s plenty of room for Harriet
Rio Grande Valley Ranch RV Resort — Canutillo, TX
We stayed at Rio Grande Valley Ranch RV Resort in Canutillo in February 2024, just northwest of El Paso. It was still a fairly new RV park at the time, and one of the things that made it different was that it really was part of a working ranch. Cattle,
Oklahoma
WinStar Casino — Thackerville, OK
WinStar has become another regular stop for us when we’re traveling north or south. It sits right along I-35 in Thackerville, close to the Texas line, so it works naturally with a lot of the routes we travel. Unlike some of our overnight stops, we don’t always
Kansas
Air Capital RV Park — Wichita, KS
Air Capital RV Park in Wichita has become one of those dependable stops that fits the way we travel. When we’re heading south on US-81, it is often where we stop for the first night, and we’ve also used it on the way back north. Most of
Arizona
Quartzsite RV Show — Quartzsite, AZ
We made our first trip to Quartzsite in January 2024 with Fred and Gina, and it didn’t take long for Lisa and me to understand why so many RVers talk about being there in January. The Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show is only part of what happens — the
Nebraska
Fishberry CG — Valentine, NE
Fishberry Campground is one of those places we’ve been happy to return to. It sits about five miles north of Valentine on US-83, far enough out of town to feel quiet and open but still close enough that getting into Valentine is easy. The campground has 22 pull-
Nebraska
Fort Robinson, NE — Crawford, NE
We stayed at Fort Robinson State Park in October 2024, and it turned out to be a really pleasant place to spend a few days with the RV — even if the weather was starting to remind us that winter wasn’t far away. The park has plenty of room, beautiful
