Campsite Picture of the Day
One place we’ve never been camping is Red Rock Canyon State Park, but we want to. I was searching for images, and found this one. It looks like a great place to camp, and we’ll be heading that way soon!

Now this is quite the amazing place to set up camp at! It’s in Argentina, South America. I want to go there!

I’m not 100% sure where this is, but I think it’s in Texas somewhere. Maybe Jason The Exploder will pop in and let us know. The hot springs featured in his other pictures look great!

Campsite Picture of the Day
Yosemite National Park, California.
This comes from caperton27’s Flickr stream.
A few miles of backroads from bustling Yosemite we found a goldmine- a gold beach. We were the only people at Eastman lake and had the whole place to ourselves. The water has a gold shimmer to it because it is chock full of fool’s gold dust. Hands down the best campsite we had the whole trip.

Campsite Picture of the Day
I stayed up way too late last night looking at camping pictures on Flickr. I found so many great ones, that I decided I want to share them with you. Everyday, or close to it, I am going to pick a Flickr picture of a campsite to feature here. So here goes, my first one! I hope you enjoy it!
Pebbly Beach NSW, Australia.
This comes from wijew’s Flickr stream.
It’s a great campsite. It’s small and only about 100m from the beach and has a a number of good bush walks. we saw dolphin close to shore when we were there.

Undiscovered Death Valley
I was looking through the trips at REI Adventures and I came across this Death Valley trip that I would absolutely love to do. It’s coming up on April 16th through the 21st, lasting 6 days, exploring Death Valley National Park. The guide, Steve Kasper, takes you off the beaten path to see the unspoiled beauty of Death Valley. It sounds amazing to me!
Join top guide Steve Kasper on an unforgettable exploration of some of the most spectacular and remote backcountry in the contiguous United States during this one-of-a-kind hiking adventure in Death Valley National Park. From our tented basecamp high in the Funeral Mountains (a 3-hour drive from Las Vegas), we’ll begin a series of awe-inspiring dayhikes chosen by Steve specifically for their unspoiled beauty, unique geology and off-the-beaten-path locations. Dramatic slot canyons, mysterious prehistoric rock art and expansive views across this magnificent landscape await as we walk where few others have passed before. After each day’s hike, we’ll return to our comfortable camp and enjoy Steve’s renowned backcountry cooking under a sparkling canopy of desert stars.

Reserving a Campsite
We have found that the best online service for reserving campsites is ReserveAmerica. It gives you different options to choose from on the type of campsite you want like RVs, tent, lodges, group sites, boat sites, horse sites, day use, and trailers. Of course we recommend using a tent, but it is your choice. Next you put in your state and you can choose for them to locate a campsite for you, or you can type in the name of a specific one you want to stay at.
Our last campsite in the campground Hilltop on Mt. Charleston was reserved by using ReserveAmerica. We had already jotted down campsites that we liked there so choosing just the right one on the site was simple. It was fast and easy to use, and it worked out perfectly. The camp host had our name on her chart when we arrived and we set up camp within an hour from leaving our house.
We are two people who love to go camping and hiking. We love the outdoors, and we are working on becoming as green as we can be.
