You’ve Got to Park Your RV Here When You Visit Page, Arizona

April 24, 2018 by BrittanyHighland Leave a Comment

Page Arizona in One DayIt doesn’t matter how long we travel. New places and new experiences continue to stretch us, and the excitement never goes away.

Dry camping hasn’t been an emphasis for us throughout more than four years of fulltime RVing. While we have our reasons, we never stop questioning the way we do things: asking ourselves whether there’s something better outside our norms and comfort zone.

Shortly before we started our Western Mountain Loop Trip, I told Eric, “We’re not doing it right.” I felt like we had been taking the safe, routine route: staying in private campgrounds with full hookups and a strong Internet signal, while missing experiences beyond the edge of civilization.

With that unsettling realization, I decided this year would be different. [Read more…]

Dry Camping With Friends at Lake Mead Recreation Area

March 22, 2016 by BrittanyHighland 1 Comment

RV Dry Camping Lake Mead Recreation Area

We got our generator fixed, so we can dry camp again! After taking Meriwether into the shop in Lake Havasu City on Friday morning, we were out of there right after lunch (more on that repair-and what we found out was wrong-soon).

Though we had paid for Cattail Cove State Park through Friday night, we decided to start our journey to Las Vegas. We didn’t find out until today, but Cattail Cove actually refunded our last night. That was so considerate of them!

As we were adjusting our schedule, we found out our friends Eric Udell and Jeanette Hobbs were dry camping at Lake Mead Recreation Area [Read more…]

Our Failed RV Wild Camping Attempt

March 1, 2016 by BrittanyHighland 17 Comments

Wild Camping Sedona Arizona

Our wild camping spot between Sedona and Cottonwood, AZ

Aside from quick overnights on our way to somewhere, Eric and I have only ever dry camped at Xscapees’ Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta convergence, surrounded by friends who have inexhaustible knowledge when it comes to going off the grid.

So when we had the opportunity to do some real wild camping, all by ourselves like big kids, we were really excited. Our excitement increased as we researched BLM land near Sedona, AZ. We spent an afternoon scouting locations, and loved the look of Campendium’s Loy Butte Road spot. [Read more…]

We Survived Our First Full Week of Dry Camping (And You Will, Too)

October 15, 2015 by BrittanyHighland 30 Comments

RV Dry Camping

I guess we put the spoiler in the article title…sorry about that. Before I get into the dramatic story of our first full week of RV dry camping, I should make a few things clear:

  1. If you dry camp regularly, this article will make you laugh at us. So please stop reading now.
  2. Eric and I are not mechanically-inclined.
  3. We like our creature comforts. When we’re comfortable, we’re more productive during the work week and have fewer distractions. That’s what we tell ourselves. In our minds, comfort has always been inextricably linked to full hookups. Anything else is just complicated.
  4. I wish someone had written this article a year and a half ago when we were going on the road. My FOMO has kicked in-how many beautiful places have I missed because I didn’t know I could survive dry camping?
