Websites >Neat-Fun-Info on camping others will enjoy

[sdtripper2]

Hello, All:

Lets play a game?

The goal of this thread it to have a collective website database of fun travel
and camping routes and destinations along with anything that would help
your mind wrap around quality camping. The key here is to be creative and
share your favorite websites that a person could explore for a while and
get enjoyment from what the site has to offer there.

Let this thread be the sharing of websites that would help people enjoy their trailer?
It could be a specific driving trip & map like This trip through time in Utah?

Your sharing might include a destination in the USA. It could be the a
website that shows a specific travel trip that so stirred you to build, like this
Travelogue of a trip to Alaska (and back) that affected me strongly.
It could be the story or it could be some entertainment site you liked that
relates to camping? It could be a website say on "Chuck-Wagons" or some
other interest that could be tied into trailers or camping.

Maybe there is another forum or community online that reflects your
interests that has tied you to camping and they are like minded with the
people here?

It could be a gadget website that has all sorts of items you like to imagine
camping uses for?

I have listed a few more choices below to get the ball rolling.

Boon-docking
Came across a website that has much info and a section on boon-docking
for the snow birds so to speak. Wanted to share with you just in case you
ever decide to plan a trip to the southwest during one of your winters.

There is a thriving community in Arizona and the California boarder run
along hwy 10 near Quartzite AZ and Blythe CA. Google them and you will
see. Phoenix as well as these places cater to retired people big time with
discounts galore.

Here are those links to Boon-docking & BLM Information:

The Complete Book of Boondock RVing
http://www.rvwheellife.com/?p=209
http://rvbookstore.com/shop/detail.aspx?m=2&p=1087

The idea here is to think and share and have fun:
"What have I seen on the web that is neat that
someone else here could benefit from relating to camping in some way?".

Thank You in advance for playing the game:

Anybody ever use www.reserveusa.com?

The Reserve USA site is like a bread an butter site
for many but it is good to point it out for those that
don't know of it.

Thanks for playing the game.

 

[Scooter-TNT]

Dunno how I've missed ReserveUSA, but looks like exactly what I need. Glad to hear it's reputable (or at least the implication to that effect).

 

[Sid]

Hey Steve,

Thanks for updating the canoeing/kayak link. Looks like some good info!

 

[cherokeegeorge]

I use reservamerica all the time and havn't had any problems but their not cheap, $7.50 a pop other wise it runs very smooth.

Try this one: http://www.lakesuperiorcircletour.com/

I did it on a Honda CB360T with just a sleeping bag when I was 17. Plan on a couple of weeks and bring along your mosquito repellant.

Yup, a really scenic drive across that road, but don't get in too big of a hurry.
We usually take 66 to Kane and catch 6 there out to the Grand Canyon. Usually this coming weekend. Don't know if we'll make it this year.

Here is one of my favorites.

In the spring, late April or early May, great weather, not many people.

mincey... I had a big white sheppard that used to love to pull me on a bicycle or skateboard for hours. I'd have to stop her or she'd run till her paws got bloody. She could run about 20 mph... amazing fun. She lived to just past 20 years; pretty old for a big dog. Never got the hip problem either. I'm sure I'll never have another dog as great as that one.
