Renting with Cruise America

Cruise America, with its extensive network of rental centers spanning North America, made our reentry into the RV world seamless. With our sights set on Colorado, we browsed through an array of options, ultimately opting for a 25-foot Class C rig.

From the moment we secured our rig, Cruise America supported us with a series of informative emails. Their guidance, from rookie tips to expert insights, coupled with a comprehensive packing list, eased our pre-departure jitters and set the tone for a smooth adventure ahead.

CampScanner: Turning Impossible Reservations into Reality

Among the challenges of RV travel is securing campground reservations at highly sought-after destinations. CampScanner (brought to you by the folks at Harvest Hosts) emerged as a game-changer, offering a solution to the impossible world of National Parks campground reservations.

Creating a scan for open reservations at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park using CampScanner worked– we secured the camping reservation we needed. The platform's user-friendly interface allowed us to stay informed of site availability while setting search parameters, such as our preferred location and dates. The timely text notifications and direct booking option streamlined the process, granting us access to campsites that would otherwise be difficult to reserve.

Exploring the Wonders the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park

One of our favorite things to do in an RV is visit National Parks. We've seen many, but have never visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. This park was a bit out of the way but well worth the visit. The park's pristine beauty, stunning night skies, awe-inspiring canyons, and abundant wildlife painted a picturesque backdrop for our RV adventure. At our campsite, we were treated to a heartwarming sight – a deer and her fawns gracing us with their presence. The park's accessibility allowed us to fully explore its wonders within a day, making it a must-visit destination.

My husband and I were full-time RVers for about two years, traveling to 24 states and three provinces. We traveled all the way from Florida to Alaska and back. While on the road, I used both Boondockers Welcome and Harvest Hosts as well as other apps to find boondocking locations. I joined the Harvest Hosts team in 2021 as part of the Boondockers Welcome (BW) merger as I was the one and only BW employee. I am thrilled to be on the Marketing team at Harvest Hosts to continue my passion for the Boondockers Welcome and RV community.
