    Camping in Black Bear Country - Bear Locker or not?

    We're taking our first trip to Bear Country, in PA heading up to Hickory Run State Park in early May. When I was in the Boy Scouts, we learned not to keep any food at all on the campsite, but then again, we always camped with tents. How concerned should we be about leaving food in the...

    How to find land for storing and camping

    We live in SW OH and there are lots of beautiful places to camp. But we were talking today and thought why not buy a small plot of land in a beautiful area and use that for storing our 5er and for camping. Don't need power or sewer, but will need a road. How do I go about searching for...

    Camping near Carlsbad Caverns?

    Suggestions? We'll be visiting Carlsbad and need a place to stay that's within a practical distance for a day trip.

    Negative Camping World of Concord... UGH

    I've been around long enough to know that in general, CW's suck.... Unfortunately for me, that's really the only place that sucks less than some of the other dealers around here. It was because of that dealership (used to be Tom Johnson's) that I had to sell my Newmar. Nevermind it was a POS...
