Two nights in Brevard, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Brevard in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. After a lovely two days in Bryson City, we drove an easy 1.5 hours back east to Brevard, 40 minutes south of Asheville and hilariously to us, just 20 minute up the road from Lake Toxaway. Brevard’s draw for us was its…

Two nights in Lake Toxaway, NC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Lake Toxaway in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Lake Toxaway is an hour due north of Clemson, between Highlands and Brevard in southwestern North Carolina. Our primary reason for visiting was to hike in Panthertown Valley, called by someone the “Yosemite of the East.” While we didn’t necessarily see…

Two nights in Clemson, SC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Clemson in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Our original trip plan called for a couple more coastal stops, Hilton Head and Tybee Island, before swinging inland to Aiken and then up into the mountains at Clemson. But returning to our Charleston campground, a place we’d loved with Bugsy, was…

Two nights in Asheville, NC (visit #16)–Spring in the NC Mountains trip
We visited Asheville in early May 2024 as part of our short Spring in the NC Mountains trip. Read alllll of our other Asheville posts here. From Franklin, in the mountains of far western North Carolina, it was only a hour’s drive to Asheville. While our focus was on hiking and exploring town during our…

Two nights in Franklin, NC–Spring in the NC Mountains trip
We visited Franklin in early May 2024 as part of our short Spring in the NC Mountains trip. The first destination of our six-day let’s-take-the-Airstream-somewhere-fun trip was Franklin, NC, a small town in the mountains southwest of Asheville. We hadn’t been to Franklin before, but we enjoyed a stay in nearby Sylva several years ago,…

Two nights in Prescott, AZ–Tucson for Christmas trip
We visited Prescott in December 2023 as part of our Tucson for Christmas trip. Prescott is known for a historic and happening downtown and outdoor adventures, and we’ve long had it–and specifically the campground we stayed at–on our giant wishlist map with notes along the lines of “looks like a really cool town” and “campground seems like…

One night in Seneca Rocks, WV–Spring in the Mountains Quickie trip
We visited Seneca Rocks in April 2023, as part of our Spring in the mountains quickie. From White Sulphur Springs it was a scenic drive north to Seneca Rocks, with no cell service pretty much the entire way thanks to the NRAO. As I mentioned last post, be sure to download anything internetty you might…

Trip planning: Spring quickie to the mountains
We went on this little trip in April 2023. This post has been edited to include where we actually went! We haven’t had the Airstream out since November (despite only finishing the Big Trip #4 posts just a few weeks ago–it took us a while to write everything up!), and we’re itching to hit the…

Kings Canyon National Park
We spent three days in Kings Canyon in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. From Yosemite, we continued south to the next Northern California national park, Kings Canyon. Do you know anything about Kings Canyon? Because we didn’t until we started researching. Kings Canyon National Park and Sequoia National Park are adjacent…

Crater Lake National Park
We visited Crater Lake in late September 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. Crater Lake National Park has been on my wishlist for a loooong time. It’s spectacularly gorgeous, but once you’ve done some hikes and stopped at the overlooks, you kind of get the idea. We’d planned on spending three nights there and…
