Camp Site Review: Davidson River Campground, Pisgah, NC
If you are anywhere near the Pisgah National Forest in the western mountains of North Carolina close to Brevard, drive, do not walk, to camp at Davidson River Campground. It’s just about one of my favorite campgrounds of anywhere I’ve visited. We just returned from a family camping weekend there, and I couldn’t wait to share it with you!

We’re all new campers here (so come on in!)
Truth telling time: I did not grow up camping. Nor did my husband. Sure we each went on the occasional camp outs with our respective families when we were growing up, and I spent most summers attending summer camps in the mountains of North Carolina, where you’d camp out at least once.
But I didn’t grow up camping every weekend.
Many years into our marriage, and well after we had kids, my husband and I realized how much we liked hiking together. Again, we’d both had some limited experience hiking as kids (with families, with camp), so when our kids got old enough when we could start trekking up hills again, we went for it. We’re lucky we live in the foothills of the North Carolina mountains, so a great hike is just a short drive away.
But camping was a totally new ball game for us. So why did we decide to take the plunge? We started off tent camping with friends, and found we really enjoyed it – the campfires, the s’mores, being outside, listening to music, being away from our electronic devices. But then the rain came. Continue reading “We’re all new campers here (so come on in!)”
Weekend Trip RV and Travel Trailer Camping Packing List (with FREE printable!)
When we first started camping in our travel trailer, I scoured Pinterest for all kinds of packing lists to help us get started on our journeys. I’m a planner – always have been and probably always will be – and I wanted to make sure we were completely, 100% prepared for any eventuality.
| The result? A lot of purchased gear we’ve never used, and a lot of extra Shopping expenses.
So I created a packing list for those of us who like to camp for long weekends, who don’t need to pack everything and the kitchen sink. (Some of these items you might even leave in your travel trailer for your next trip). This list would also work well for tent camping, too.
I included this list as a FREE printable below so you can print it out and check it off the next time you’re planning your weekend get away!

Happy camping!Friday inspiration
I found this quote on Instagram this morning and wanted to share! It was posted by @coloradoteardrops.
As life continues to change, as we gear up for a new school year, new work opportunities and more, I just want to remind myself to get outside and walk a few dirt paths.
Here’s hoping you’re doing the same. Happy Friday, friends!

Camp Site Review: KOA Holiday Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN
We just got back from our first trip to the KOA Holiday Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN, and we couldn’t wait to share our review with you! This was our first time staying at a KOA property, so we weren’t sure what to expect. But if you’re the type of glamper (like we are) that pretty much wants the amenities of a hotel, but while staying in your RV or travel trailer, then this place is for you!

DIY No-Sew Cornice Board Project for Camper
You might remember from our previous post about how I updated the stock valances in our travel trailer with these easy-peasy, almost no-sew curtains. And while I loved how the curtains turned out, one of the windows still had the curtain rod showing, which was just really bugging me. Continue reading “DIY No-Sew Cornice Board Project for Camper”

Easy-to-Make Travel Sticker Boards
I don’t know about you, but one of our favorite things about traveling around in our camper is collecting stickers from each of the places we travel. It’s an inexpensive souvenir to remind us of each place we’ve visited! Continue reading “Easy-to-Make Travel Sticker Boards”
