Site had a pretty steep pitch front to back and slightly off level left to right. Had a MASSIVE dog park with trees and a ton of room to run even chase a frisbee
While there Mary enjoyed getting the mile high shake at Granny’s Drive-in which was basically a DQ blizzard but BETTER!

Pike NF off cr 511
Jun 7, 2026 - Jun 13, 2026 258 miles
Good spot outside of divide. Tree cover is going to make it tough on the solar panels and starlink.
There is a lot of foot/bike traffic on the road especially in morning from the locals getting their exercise. We pulled to camper in so the door was away from the road and just kept an eye on the dogs.
VERY peaceful to sit outside getting work done, and even watched a horse go by one of the many unmarked trails.

Bailey’s saddlery and museum
Jun 12, 2026 - Jun 13, 2026 79 miles
Stopped at Bailey's Saddlery and Museum near the Colorado high country for a night. The Boondockers Welcome host was friendly and made check-in simple. The gravel pull-through site had decent levelness and good sun exposure, with water and 15-amp power available. Cell service through AT&T was strong. No cost for the stay, and the location felt welcoming for a big rig with plenty of parking nearby. Take the time to tour the saddle museum!!

Elk Creek Lodge & Resort
Jun 14, 2026 - Jun 19, 2026 82 miles
This started out as just needing a place for one night in order to establish residency, but their passport America great was for an unlimited number of nights outside of the Sturgis motorcycle rally so we stayed for the full week.
We enjoyed our stay here. While it wasn’t a very fancy place it was very peaceful. The dogs were able to go up the hill to run. There are walking trails over the park in the property itself is huge. There were two guys working on refreshing the lodge and if we had more time they were going to show us the “back nine “I believe this is a large pasture. They mentioned a creek running along the side that was going to be beautiful in a great place for The dogs to explore.
In the evenings after work, we were able to go see Mount Rushmore, Devils tower, deadwood, and Sturgis motorcycle museum.
There wasn’t enough time to do the Camp 5 Jeep trail, but we will hit that on the next stop through this area.

Kerrigan Brothers Winery - harvest host
Jun 20, 2026 - Jun 21, 2026 411 miles
After another harvest host ghosted us and the reasonable rv parks in Oshkosh were full we were very nervous about having to stay at a truck stop or rest area for the night. Kerrigan brothers auto approved our stay for the night.
When we showed up the establishment was closed within 5 mins an employee who was still around greeted us and got us settled.
The spot was so level we didn’t unhook and there’s a whole patio and field on the other side of the building that was available for us to use and for the dogs to run!!!
The sunset was beautiful and a picturesque farm across the street made for a peaceful stop and we just wish we got here sooner to support the business.

NF off Castle Rock Rd
Jun 21, 2026 - Jun 26, 2026 266 miles
This started out as a dream spot, but turns out it is THE local fishing spot and locals don’t keep distance for set up camp spots. The first morning we had a summer camp group park right next to our rig and start fishing the whole area, clipping a line on Mary’s canopy and making it impossible to let the dogs out.
Also saw a hatchling snapping turtle- thus big ones are in the area. Then it rained and HOLY MOSQUITOES!!!!
Turns out we prefer mountains with a field versus waterfront 🤷🏼♀️
We did explore St Ignas and walked to the lighthouse and saw all the cars roll in for the 50th annual classic car show (but left before the craziness started)

Silver Hills Campground
Jun 26, 2026 - Jun 28, 2026 244 miles
Got lucky and had a larger “non premium” site (178) that we fit in and ended up with NO ONE around us. If the area was full it would have been much less fun. Site had water and power but no sewer but had a convenient dump station. There were a lot of rules including the gates TURNING OFF after 11:30pm so you’d “have to walk”.
****
We spent two nights at Silver Hills Campground in Michigan during June, landing site 178, a larger non-premium spot that happened to be quiet with no neighbors nearby. The site had water and 30 amp power but no sewer, though a dump station was conveniently located on the property. The campground enforces quite a few rules, including gates that close after 11:30 pm, which means walking if you arrive late.
The real draw here was proximity to Silver Lake Sand Dunes, just ten minutes away. At $94.50 per night, the location made it worthwhile for our trip. The grass pad was reasonably level, and the property offered plenty of amenities including a pool and store. Cell service through AT&T was strong, and we used Starlink as a backup. If the campground had been full, the experience would have felt more crowded, but we lucked out with the timing.

Boondockers welcome- Henderson, MI
Jun 28, 2026 - Jul 3, 2026 164 miles
Stayed five nights at this Boondockers Welcome spot near Henderson, Michigan in June. It's a quiet location on grass with decent sun exposure and easy back-in access for big rigs. The site cost $5 per night through my Harvest Hosts membership. Cellular worked well on AT&T with solid download speeds, and Starlink performed reliably if needed.
The main issue was a power problem. The site shares a 20-amp circuit, and when someone used a saw nearby, the repeated brownouts damaged my AC unit's board and fan. The site itself is reasonably level and pet friendly with good parking, but the shared power setup is something to be aware of if you have sensitive equipment or run multiple appliances.

The Saginaw County Fairground
Jul 3, 2026 - Jul 5, 2026 7 miles
Stayed at The Saginaw County Fairground in Michigan for two nights. The dirt pad was level and had good sun exposure, with 15 and 30 amp power available. The plug showed an open ground issue, so I had to work around that. AT&T cellular was solid at around 69 Mbps download. The location works well for accessing the UKC shed hunt competition in the area, and I managed to avoid the storms that rolled through over the weekend. At $42 per night, it's a practical spot for the purpose.

St. Ignace / Mackinac Island KOA Holiday
Jul 12, 2026 - Jul 17, 2026 139 miles
We spent five nights at St. Ignace / Mackinac Island KOA Holiday and it made a solid base camp for visiting Mackinac Island. The site was spacious with good water pressure and reliable power. Laundry was affordable at $2 to wash and $3 to dry. Connectivity was strong with both cellular and Starlink available, though we did have some smoke drifting in from Canadian wildfires that affected air quality during our time there.

Harvest Host - The Root Cellar Resort
Jul 18, 2026 - Jul 19, 2026 274 miles
Drove 274 miles to The Root Cellar Resort in Michigan for a one-night Harvest Hosts stay in July. The grass pad was a bit uneven, but the site worked fine for the night. Starlink performed well with strong download speeds, and AT&T cellular was available if needed. The place had good amenities including a store, restrooms, and plenty of parking for bigger rigs.
The stop turned out to be a good one. Grabbed a burger at the on-site restaurant and met Nate and his wife, helping them troubleshoot a wiring problem. Their daughter was a fun little spitfire of an human and decided Michael was her new friend 😆. Air quality was still affected by wildfire smoke in the area, but nothing that ruined the visit. Would consider it again as a convenient overnight.

Harvest Host - B-Haven Acres
Jul 19, 2026 - Jul 24, 2026 206 miles
Spent five nights at B-Haven Acres, a Harvest Host location in Wisconsin that turned out to be a solid find. The property was quiet and we saw whitetail deer regularly moving through the grounds. The grass pad was level and accommodated our rig without issues. Water and electric hookups were available, and at $40 total for the stay, the pricing felt reasonable. AT&T coverage was spotty, but Starlink performed well when we needed it.
The graded unpaved road in was easy to navigate, and the site itself had full sun and plenty of room.
