The Lost Coast in northern CA, Mattole valley blm. Right on the ocean. Dry camping but they do have vault toliets. Your camped right on the ocean. And a river off to the side. Very secluded. $14 a day if I remember correctly.
So informative!! I’m a follower now!
Welcome aboard!
You guys are awesome. About two weeks ago we stayed at Clark County shooting facility. It’s a great place with nice view of Vegas at night. For shooting enthusiasts I would also recommend Josephine County Sportsman Association gun range/RV park in Grants Pass OR.👍🏻 And Ben Avery shooting facility campground, North Phoenix AZ. World class range.
Love those ideas! Love to shoot , travel & camp!
Lots of trap clubs in Montana will let you stay for free
Our favorite campground we have visited as we have traveled the country might be City of Rocks State Park near Deming New Mexico!!
Nice recap of yall's favorite camp grounds. Ya'll have been to some beautiful places, I'd bet it's really hard to leave some of those spots.
Looking forward to the new spots you do this year. Great videos guys.
Thank you for taking us along with you.
Ya'll stay safe on the road and God bless ya'll during your travels.
Big Horn Sheep - far more common than Mountain Goats, the white ones.
AHHHH....we could not remember this to save our tails!! Thanks a ton!
Great list. We've visited a couple of these campgrounds. If your on I-10 outside of Tuscan check out Katchnar caverns state park. Ten miles off I10. Of course the caverns are a must see.
We are there now. Great park!
Thanks for the info. I'll put it on my list.
Thanks for the tips!
Just visited CO Springs for the first time and LOVED it! The WWII Aviation Museum was fabulous.
Good job like always. You always look like your living your best life . Thanks for all your information and time you put in !!!
Many years ago when my wife and I were full timers we were the campground hosts at the Air Force Academy Campground and we loved it. Back then you could even eat your meals at the academy cafeteria. Unfortunately, years later, some of the campers wore out their welcome by not dressing appropriately (they had a dress code) so now that perk is no longer allowed😢
Thank you as always for the great content! We hope to see you on the road someday 🙏🇺🇸😊
Thanks for sharing these places to stay,they all have something different to offer. Stay safe
I knew y’all would bring up creede despersed camping. We were nervous when we got up there with our cornerstone because the spots yall stayed in were full. We had to go further down the trail and it was way to choppy to get our rig down there. Y’all’s spot is always full now lol! But we went there to try at least. So we stayed at Mountain View’s in Creede it was incredible but expensive.
The Bride and I will be boondocking in the Creede area in May. Thank you for inspiring us to go there. We've not boondocked in the wilderness before, so this will be a new, fun experience. God bless you both!
Hope you enjoy it!
They are the best to stay at clean an the best😊
Great list of campgrounds. I added a couple to my "someday" list! Letchworth is in my backyard, been there many times. Thanks for sharing.........
Thanks for the tip on Gunter Hill. We're passing through this summer and it will be a perfect spot to stop for the night especially since I have an access pass.
Have fun!
We start our adventure of journeys in four weeks. We take possession of a 2023 Oliver Elite II, and then a slow build up to extended travels to discover a lot of what you guys have been sharing for years. Thanks for inspiring us!
Congrats!
South Llano state park in Texas in spring for flyway convergence-4 bird blinds; amazing birds on the south llano river.
Phil is from Colorado Springs… I went I went to General William Mitchell High School graduating in 1972. My Dad was in the Air Force and stationed at then Ent Air Force Base
I'm afraid to share this, because it's so amazing, but we are at Big Hart Campground in Thomson,GA. It is stunning! It is owned by the COE but run by the county. It has the COE feel! W/E, nice bath houses, a dump station and amazing hosts! $30 a night. Every site has a view of beautiful Clark Hill Lake and the fishing must be great by the looks of the fishing boats each day! We have spent 12 days here and will definitely be back!
Thanks for sharing!
That is so funny, when your video started and I said Gunter Hill will be on the list (First one). We will be at Gunter Hill in April and headed to Babb Pizza for my Birthday! Enjoyed your list.
Thanks for this list...now we have more to add to our list! Rafter J Bar Ranch in Hill City SD is great! Close to Mt. Rushmore and all the other sites! Safe travels
I really miss being in the crew. Getting closer to our goals and then we will be right back in the crew.
We will still be here.
Big fan of MacDill Famcamp in Tampa
Mono Lake!
Whoa Nelli Deli, awesome.
Y'all need to check out Pointes West near Augusta, Ga. Military resort right on Strong Thurman lake. Every site backs up to the lake
We loved Watkins Glen NY state park even more than Letchworth. Great video thanks for sharing. In Ontario Canada (home) our favourite provincial parks are Killbear ProvincialPark & Bon Echó Provincial Park.
Thanks for watching!
Clint Eastwood filmed High Plains Drifter at Mono Lake.
First of all, Phil's pronunciation of Humarock is correct. You forgot to mentiom how lucky military folk are to have this site. There's nothing close to Boston... this is the closest. You mentioned the train (purple commuter line) to the city. There's a ferry from the south shore too, but I'm not sure if it's near Humarock
Gizmo, ❤😢❤
I believe we stayed in the same site at Gunter Hill. Our pictures definitely match up well. It was a great stay.
Ortona South is great as well. It’s the closet COE park to our house.
It was nice seeing you in Tampa.
Very cool!
Can you share what the site number is please? Hoping to be there in a couple of months.
Great suggestions!
Hello love your show🎉
thanks great info
Gettysburg and Amish Country Lancaster County pa 👍👍
I’ve traveled the world and there’s e’s nothing that beats the Eastern Sierras!
You’re talking about Mono Lake. Largely destroyed by the DWP. home to brine shrimp and migratory birds.
Omg the Mobil gas station is the best!
You guys rock! You guys have great videos👍🇺🇲. I love our military
035 Tiana Ramp
Nomad View is a great boondocking site there South of Wall, SD. Also, another great BLM site in SE Utah is Valley of the Gods. Spectacular red rock buttes. Enjoyed your list and yes, half off with the National Park Pass. Thanks
Phil - you nailed the pronunciation of Humarock (MA) the 1st time you said it. I was raised in that area. Have lived in Cody for 40+ years and the campground you called Elk Fork (Wapiti/Cody, WY) was not actually Elk Fork CG. Looking just as you were starting in that driveway was not heading into Elk Creek. The river doesn't really flow through this CG like your video shows. The dead end just leads into wilderness area. The only place the river runs through there would be on the right hand side driving in and the sites are all very small. Your rig & ours (50') would not fit in any of the sites and it would even be difficult to get turned around to get back out at the end of the loop within Elk Fork. Think it's most likely (99%) Eagle Creek CG where there is cabins across the river from the camp sites and the bridge down river.
Now we will have to go back through our records to see where it was we stayed exactly.
I found it. Thanks so much. It was Eagle Creek. I updated our blog and put a note in the description. Thanks again.
Hey Guys,
Planning a trip from LA to Austin via Mexico and not sure over 2 weeks, im from Australia and renting the 30ft from Cruise America, I think? Appreciate all tips❤
Thanks❤
Good job it is hummerrock
Dead Horse Point state park in Utah
I’m retired from the NY Air National Guard. Do I need a special ID or paperwork to use the military bases. I still have my retired NYANG retired ID card.
This blog may answer some of your questions: todayissomeday.net/blog/veteran-access-to-military-campgrounds?rq=vets
Even the bears in California are shady.
I have trying to find the name of the camp ground you stayed at while Phil was recovering from his shoulder, I seem to think it was a military campground? Thanks for all you share 577 days unless we can get out there sooner. But our target date is set in stone sooner but never later💜
Alsatian RV Resort in Castroville, TX. Great spot outside of San Antonio.
Lower Lee Vining is truly beautiful, but have you checked out Convict Lake, or Silver Lake?
We went to a few lakes but I dont remember all the names.
Good food mr. RV Camp. Sport. Beautifuly lands. #Bagibijak gabung
We can't wait for our visit in September!!
Being fellow Veteran Couple too, what are your Top 10 Military Camp Grounds (Stateside)?
We haven't compiled that list....but off the top....Air Force Academy FAMCamp is tops on our list.
Question: does the last park (the Bonus one) allow e-bikes? I know y'all have them and was just wondering.
LOVE your channel!!!
Yes it does!
I’m originally from Massachusetts and Phil was correct. It is pronounced hum-a-rock.
That would be Mono Lake.
Hi Phil and Stacey I would love to share my favorite place with you. It is a membership only campground but I can have guests for free. It has everything you could need or want. It is in Lytle creek California and it's an all season park. 14 days in the out. Full hook ups including cable (4 dollars a day) there is 2 lakes for bass and trout paddle boats a water park and 3 pools a restaurant and bar laundry horseshoes corn hole courts basket and pickle ball courts each weekend is a different theme.(20s, carnival, wild west, comic book,) but you don't have to participate. If your ever interested in checking it out let me know
What do you do for work that allows you to pay for that rig plus travel full time
I am retired military and saved to pay off the RV early. You can learn about us and the RV here: todayissomeday.net/faqs
To be clear regarding the 50% discount, it only applies to the senior pass and the access pass. The access pass means somebody is only eligible with a permanent disability. To avoid any confusion the regular America the beautiful pass does not include a 50% campground discount.
Correct.
❓❓❓Hi guys! So I’m new and we’re going on a 5 month trip . Do you make rv reservation that far ahead? Like should I be so tedious and plan every single night at a place to stay? How do you do it lol … scared newbie
We did in the beginning....newbies as well. But now, we only book that far out if we know we must be somewhere on a set date and fill in the middle as we go. You will find your rhythm the more you do it.
Great information and locations. Can you run your generator at COE campgrounds?
I have not found a COE without electric. You shouldnt need your generator.
@@todayissomeday great information and we do have a Senior pass
How does a vetran get vetted thru the VA to stay at military campgrounds?
Start with your local VA, they should point you in the right direction.
Does my fifth wheel need to be less than 10 yrs old to camp at state parks across the USA? We are retiring and want to go explore the states, but not live in an RV park. We want to move sites and see different areas. Thanks!
We have not experienced anything like that at State Parks. There are some campgrounds across the country that do have a 10 year age rule.
@@todayissomeday thanks!
What was the name of the last campground
You can find all the campgrounds with links on our blog: todayissomeday.net/blog/top-20-must-see-rv-camping-spots

I have a question that I am sure you can answer. We aren't former military but have sons who are current and a daughter-in-law who is former. If they have a RV and we travel with them are they able to book for us also or do they have to be in the same RV with you? Thanks for your service and we love your videos.
The active duty member should be able to sponsor you. The veteran can get access if eligible (go through their local VA for screening), but not sponsor anyone.
@@todayissomeday Thank you for the info.
I would like to see a list of the worst!
Sigsbee RV park on Naval Air Station Key West is a GREAT place to stay! Hard to get in from Oct thru April, but well worth it if you can get it. Must be able to get access to military base to use this. Pleanty of laundry available and over 500 dry camping sites if you can't score one of the 93 FHU site. Book exactly 180 days out if you want to get FHU...they fill up fast.
Are families of the military allowed to camp at Core of Engineer Parks ?
COE are fully public
@@luminousveiws Great Thank you .
Corp of Engineer parks are open to the public. Anyone can stay!
What is veteran that is vetted mean?
One that has been screened through the VA to see if they are eligible for access.
Thank you. My Hubby is a Navy vet.
Odd ball question. When does the next vid come out with you both doing the challenge with the 2 groups
I think they’re releasing the next episode today. I think they release them every other Sunday
The next episode was released on Saturday. New episodes get released every Saturday evening.
@@todayissomeday ❤❤
Where can I find your printed list? On your website?? Loved Colorado Springs!!! I’m a DoD Employee, so I stay at military parks & I have a Access pass. Want to explore Boston/Plymouth Rock area you mentioned. Thanks !!!
todayissomeday.net/blog/top-20-must-see-rv-camping-spots
TY !!!
Florida resident Seniors and Florida resident Disabled veterans get Florida state park pass and 50% off camping fees. And free fishing license
What is the process for a veteran to get vetted by the VA to use military CG's?
Start at your local VA rep. Once you have a VA Health Identification Card, you should be good. Your VA will have all the info.
@@todayissomeday Ok great, I have that so I will see if that will get me into one. Thanks.
Pleeeeeease take Grayton Beach off your list! Hahahahahahaha
It would be most helpful if you could have written the names of the places so we could see the spelling. Thanks from the hearing challenged. 🙂
You can find the names and links on our blog plus 12 more! : todayissomeday.net/blog/top-20-must-see-rv-camping-spots
@@todayissomeday Thank you. You guys are awesome.
Did you run into many snakes in your travel's
Not really. Maybe a handful in five years.
Ok so I’m on the road for 3 weeks. Sold home and cars and boats jet ski’s and bought my dream rig!
You are inspirational. Loving life. Taking notes ……. Keep the great tips coming
Congrats!! Have fun!!!
Check out Indian trees campground in Montana. The Philipsburg campground at Georgetown lake, Montana is the best spot and an awesome drive from Anaconda. Lots of things to do in the area
Swan Bay Resort & Marina, McLaren Campground, Long Sault Parkway, Ingleside, ON, Canada. We will be in Main at this campground on the first of May. Cedar Haven Family Campground, Baker Road, Freeport, ME, One more for now Lake Erie State Park.
You pronounced Humarock correctly! Great job!
Have you ever checked out “6 mile creek”? Also Army corp park. The best known secrets in AL. I wonder if still exists? Only 7.00 in the 1990’s. Right on AL River. Love your videos! 👍 keep them coming!
We have not. But will keep an eye out now.
You were right....HUM-er-rock is how we pronounce the section of Marshfield!!
yes to Inyo county.
What, No Pacific NW favorite camp ground? (Only one mentioned on the west coast…) These were great places but you’re missing out. Salt Creek Recreation Area county campground is #1 in the State of WA, right on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Most RV sites have great views… you can see Canada from your front door! 🇨🇦 🍁
We will get there someday.
Today is Someday! 😉
Mill Creek COE, MO
Favorite campgrounds: Twin Peaks at Organ Pipe National Monument, Ajo, AZ; all of the Maricopa County (Phoenix area) Parks - especially Cave Creek & Usery Mountain; Roper Lake State Park - Safford, AZ; Top Sail State Park, Santa Rosa Beach, FL; K’seugi Ken Campground at Denali State Park, Trapper Creek, AK; Kinaskan Lake Provincial Park, Iskut, BC.
Thanks for sharing!
How does a veteran get into camping on military base ? Do you guys happen to have a video talking about this?
Some veterans qualify to use base amenities including campgrounds. This blog may answer some of your questions: todayissomeday.net/blog/veteran-access-to-military-campgrounds
GO ARMY! Army Campgrounds are cheaper than Navy!🤣
Navy campgrounds are typically in more popular areas!
Those mountain bike trails in Alafia river state park look awesome. I'm putting that one on my list of places to go. 👍👍👍
our mistake. Breakaway box? First camping trip with new Wolf-pup. Brakes locked up 0n camper. Fearing letting camp sit on side of road. We dragged new camper all way home.
Costly $500 mistake. New hubs, brakes, all new wiring.
Luckily it didn’t catch a fire.
Mr & Mrs Lucky Campers
Yikes. Glad you made it home!
I’m an Air Force Veteran. Do you know what the VA vetting process is?
No. We haven't had to go through the process.
Did I hear you say your bucket list creation software was linked somewhere? If so, I don’t see it. If not, that’s why.
We have bucket list on our website, todayissomeday.net.
Do the COE sites have electricity?
Yes. Some sites may not depending how close they are to the body of water the COE is attached too.
First come first serve is a relic from a bygone era, and needs to go away. Camping is way too popular nowadays.
We dont mind FCFS. We wing it a lot so it works well for us.
Cool looking lock-system you showed at the COE park. Great video y'all. You're lookin' good!
Thank you!
Great stuff.....beautiful places for sure....hopefully hit a few in the next few years...
I'm afraid I've found some military campgrounds more expensive than local ones. NAS Whidbey Island, Cliffside RV Famcamp was more expensive than Fidalgo Bay RV Resort just outside Anacortes, WA. Admittedly some of the sites at Fidalgo Bay aren't as nice as Cliffsides, but you are closer to town, a bike ride and you don't have the inconvenience of going through the base's front gate.
I want to go to them all. I want to sell both houses, we have a rental too. I want to buy an rv and live wherever. We have pensions to live on. I can't talk my hubby into this. He wants a home base. I offered to keep a house even. I can't talk him into it. I've been at him for 2 years. Last week I had him talked into renting one and going from Michigan to Florida until I told him the prices. The biggest deal breaker was the 100 mile free limit. We want to go to Florida and back in about 10 days so the mileage would really rack up. I was bummed. I don't think he really wanted to. Since I've watched you guys I keep saying to him, it's someday. I'm sure I drive him nuts. I'm 64 and hubby is 72. I guess I'll have to be happy with..good thing he's so cheap otherwise i wouldn't even be able to dream about it, lol
Great video👍 , Gunter Hill is a great COE park & just up I85 into Georgia another .... R. Shafer Heard COE park on West Point Lake is wonderful.
A big thank you to Ben and Chris of @TheMcMillanExpress for their video on inexpensive campsites near Disney World. We have stayed at Bill Frederick Park in Orlando several times. It is a big city park with a good sized RV park with water and electric sites (a few sites also have sewer, and there is a dump station at the exit). A lot of hiking and biking trails, a shopping center nearby with a Publix, and about 20 minutes to Disney. Last time we were there it was about 30 a night.
