Army Corps of Engineers FREE campground~Steele Creek Park in Texas || VAN LIFE CHORES||

Coordinates: (32.0033560, -97.4461550)
(COE) Corps of Engineers Campground~ Steele Creek Park on Lake Whitney
Army Corps Of Engineers has 450 campgrounds in the United States! You don’t often hear about these campgrounds but you will find they are some of the nicest and best maintained campground around. Check out their website and look for a campground near you!
We don’t often have deadlines or places we need to be.... but in this case that is exactly what happened. We were due in Fort Worth Texas and only had a few days to enjoy this location! In those few days we had to clean the van from top to bottom trying to get out 3 plus weeks of Boondocking on some really cool Texas Beaches.

If your wondering about the Roodle song.... Our good friends Gabe and Caroline wrote and composed the song on GarageBand. You can have your own copy here: wonderouslyfe.com/shop/ols/products/the-roodle-song Gabe and Caroline are just starting their nomadic journey.... you can follow them here: kzbin.info/door/bEDSploPZ_yG9O7rV0SoXQ instagram.com/wonderouslyfe

[@OutOfOfficeCamping]

Roodle is living his best life! Dave too!

[@herdfan697278]

Kilt looks like a cooler option for summer, but it takes a “real man” to wear one! You go young man!

[@ambulingadventures-stan1050]

I appreciate the example of picking up trash. If we all do that, we will be welcome at these spots for a long time!

[@lawrencecanright7485]

Thanks for picking up the trash. Great example for the rest of us

[@paulmuntalbano7342]

Another down-to-earth, humble video! As a retired electrician, I soo appreciated you candor about not being perfect as a layperson during wiring. One learns through doing. Kudos!

[@Grinsauce]

Your frigging kilting me? Dave is a van life trend setter. Kilts for everyone. What do YOU wear under your kilt? So love watching Roodle enjoy himself.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Commando! That is the danger😂😂😂 watch out for the wind!! Roodle is such a special dog.... he has always made people HAPPY!!

[@davepalmetto]

Have fun and take care and take it easy and enjoy it

[@karenbond3062]

Love the Roodle song! Laughing . . . . .

[@lynneb6510]

I LOVE the kilt. I think it is Great!

[@carmentaylor3706]

It’s so funny your guys are talking about leveling with rocks again, I told my husband to level our converted ambulance with rocks like you guys so he said let’s try it, so I put the big rock in front of the tire and it sunk the rock we laughed and laughed I guess our ambulance weighs a lot more then your van. John backed up and we put another big rock on top of the first rock and that did the trick. Dave I love your kilt, if I tell my husband that he should get a kilt he probably would get one because his Scottish. But I won’t suggest it because he usually goes comando under his pants he hates underwear so you know what he would wear under his kilt.😂😂😂

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

To funny! We’ve had this happen before! It’s a constant conversation 😂😂 it’s one of my (carrie)pet peeves about van life! I cannot relax until the van is level🤷‍♀️

[@StacyForest738]

Carrie, I love your hair cut. That looks SO pretty on you...and so cool for the summer. What a wonderful spot you all found!

[@vanpediem7641]

I approve of the kilt! Wore the Mountain Hardware one on a Colorado Trail thru-hike. It's a game changer! :)

[@nancyskean6425]

Dave, you are rockin that kilt! 👍👍👍

[@manatee1999]

I like Dave new shorts there's nothing but being more comfortable the hell with the Looks. I wear long johns underneath my shorts when it's cold out because I don't like long paint. I bought a piece of property in Northwest Florida

[@soonerjhtravels]

I know this place is a COE campground but if you go to any state park in Texas and pay to stay there, there is FREE fishing, which is very nice! They have a great deal on a Texas parks pass also, and somewhere near 80-85 state parks to check out. Also, residents of Texas & Oklahoma who are 65 and over can fish free in either state and thats very nice! Thanks, I been watching your videos lately, my dog Yuki (an american eskimo) likes to watch bc of Roodle hahaha. So far she knows the intro to Mathew Posa, This Farm wife and Im pretty sure she will remember your channel too! Cheers, have a great one!

[@tdadventures]

You guys are always awesome about picking up the trash that other people had left. Thank you for doing that. Carrie, where do you get your music from? David, you are rocking that kilt!!! Now we want a video of you doing a River Dance!!! Oh also get a kilt for Roodle too so you can be twin. See you at the next video... from td adventures ( all lower case please)

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I get all my music from the KZbin studio audio library. I’ll work on the river dance😂 your name should be changed in the next video I believe.... I had already had this one edited and uploaded to KZbin ahead of time!

[@lydiaespinosa514]

Love the kilt!!

[@janicegilbert4029]

The Kilts interesting

[@mrs.t7008]

DAVE Keep the ruffles down, and I am HAPPY 😊

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Yes! And avoid the kilt on windy days😂😂

[@lyndasmith6801]

What a wonderful video! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Those camp sites....I agree on the wood cutting. Something fun about that. So glad for people like you who clean up camp sites. Dave, did you swim. The Doodle segments make me chuckle every time. Rocks for leveling.... That seems reasonable. Enjoyed seeing the fridge set up. Haha, sand does have a habit of getting everywhere. On the kilt. I say, oh gosh YES! I don't like shorts either. Yay you Dave for being brave and being a trend setter! Hehe. Anyway what a fun video. Have fun at the wedding Carrie. I know the photos will turn out fabulous! Great job on the video, I always enjoy seeing you guys. 🌞🌻🏵💚

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Dave did not swim! We were only there for two days and we were busy with filming and chores. It looks like it is an amazing place to swim though!! I will be back in September to photograph the wedding 👰 Dave has never cared what other people have though about his cloths😂 this is the one that surprised me the most though!!

[@theresaourada5986]

I love the kilt! Also happy you found it in your color! Lol! Another great video. Thanks guys! I always love hearing the Roodle theme song too! Safe travels!

[@carolmitchell8014]

😍 The Kilt!!!! 👍

[@ldrake3155]

I wasn’t even embarrassed for the man and his kilt...so the first thing popped in my head was that guy is wearing a skirt? Hmm 🤔 doesn’t look too darn bad LOL. Such a trend setter! Keep doing a great job both of you!

[@amyblizzard1918]

love the kilt! carrie needs one to, oh and dont forget roodle! i look forward to your videos!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I think a Roodle kilt might just look like a tutu😂. We were just in New Orleans and EVERYONE wanted to stop and take a picture of Roodle! Can you imagine if Dave was wearing his kilt and Roodle had one too😂😂

[@dino-2379]

You guys do the best at finding really nice free camping areas 👍 You should write a book with your free sites listed with descriptions and coordinates 👍

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

It’s on our to do list!!

[@dino-2379]

I will buy a copy 😃👍

[@forreststinnett4123]

I was there back in September stayed for about two weeks loved it I was across from toilets site #6 or 7

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Nice! Wish we could have stayed longer. We are thinking we might come back to this spot in September right before the wedding I am photographing in Fort Worth.

[@washboardjim]

The Kilt helps the boys to breathe

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I guess🤷‍♀️ lol

[@debb9008]

i have never been one to really care whats in style... if it is functional and comfortable.... i like it.... so if that is what dave likes.... go for it

[@carolynridlon3988]

We're near you at the thousand trails campground at lake whitney!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+Carolyn Ridlon I think I remember seeing that campground! We are currently in Mississippi😃

[@PattisArtInnaVan]

I like the second site better! Good choice!

[@maggiebrattoli383]

Your videos are so relaxing and engaging. Keep in traveling. :) I love the videos about every day van life.

[@OurRetiredLife]

So we don't have our van yet, and we haven't beach camped yet, but we're already discussing how to minimize the sand haha!! Great video! Your new haircut AND the kilt both rock! (Thanks again for the coordinates)

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

It would be a lot easier without a dog but what can you do🤷‍♀️ it was worth it!

[@manyahope52]

REAL MEN WEAR KILTS! You look fabulous!

[@badgerpa9]

Never splice a wire in a location that is not something you can open like a box. Use smurf tube in the wall next time you remodel it gives you a chance to run another wire. My only comment on the kilt is do not bend over around me and if the wind is blowing I will politely walk away.

[@sandras1524]

I hope you can go to Caprock or Palo Duro. we'll be there in Sept.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Adding to our list! We are currently in Mississippi

[@debbizill9835]

Kilts rock! They are made to be heavier in the back so they don't blow up. Love the spot by the lake, but I hate sand so not sure if I would stay there?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Not to much sand in this spot. Most of that sand was leftover from padre island National seashore and port aransas

[@teresacahlik6887]

I prefer the trees

[@vk4011]

The kilt is awesome! Where’s your Carrie?

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I know! I need to find me something similar

[@lindagolden9892]

Luv the comment: “You’re about to have a Marilyn Monroe moment.” 💋

[@pamelag2223]

Yay! A Roodle heavy video! Love it! And I give up at ever NOT having the jingle randomly pop into my head. I'm a thumbs down on the kilt, but Dave, you're the one wearing it so that's all that counts. If the second campsite was further away from the chance of Roodle rolling in a stinky fish, then that alone makes it the best!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Oh gosh! He would roll in the stinky fish too!! I figured we did two Boondocking segment we might as well have two Roodle segments! Gabe and Caroline did such a good job on Roodles jingle!!!

[@discoveringlockenest8420]

A kilt! 😳 But the camping sites were great, the drone footage awesome, the cleaning job incredible, and of course Roodle is so fun! A kilt! 😳🤪😄🤙 Fun video!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Ha.... that’s how I (Carrie) felt about the kilt at first! To add to the kilt he also bought a shirt that I am calling his “pirate shirt” 😂😂😂🤦‍♀️

[@knutblaise9437]

Pick up a cheap WalMart tent. Set up at current site. Move to new site. If better walk back to old site and pick up WallyTent. If new site is worse return to WallyTent site. Love the way Roodle throws the ball to you. Is Roodle a lab/standard poodle mix. Answered around 14 minutes in - Labradoodle.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We have a tent on board but there were a couple other sites if it didn’t work out. We’ve only set the tent up once in 3 years to save our spot. Usually it’s no problem. Roodles mom is a chocolate lab and dad is a apricot standard poodle

[@beach3girl459]

Easy, breezy kilt-wearing...yes!

[@simpleandfreeintherv8046]

❤️ the Kilt!! 😁

[@airdad85]

Throw the kilt out with the leveling blocks !

[@Mrs.KatsCrafting]

#10 wins hands down!! How long do they let you stay in a row? Man Florida free camp spots suck compared to the ones you guys find.

[@DeborahLong7777]

Army Corps usually take great care of the grounds. Lake Grapevine too. Love lake Whitney, not far from me . Beautiful drone shot's and y'all are awesome! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

We love COE campgrounds! Our next two videos are at army corps of engineers campgrounds. One in Oklahoma and one in Arkansas.... we did not plan it this way but we loved the campground! Adding Grapevine lake to our Texas list!

[@sandras1524]

we like camco tri-levelers for the front. haven't broken yet. BTW, I just installed surf shark VPN and that's what's keeping me from getting into your Amazon store. weird is right. I gotta figure it out.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

+Sandra Serra hmmm we just installed surf shark too! Thanks for the heads up! It shouldn’t be anything on or side that I can think of?

[@febetadefa4618]

If Dave feels comfortable with the Kilt, then go for it. Love watching y'all. Be safe, and happy travels to you both and Roodle 🐕

[@ToniAdventures]

Hi Guys!!!! I like the kilt, Dave!!Gosh, I’m really enjoying the drone footage! What a beautiful spot!!!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Hello! Thank you and thank you! We wish we could have stayed longer!!

[@LaCatLady]

Are reservations required or can I just show up? Loved the drone shots. Hugs to Roodle.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Just show up! A spot like this won’t be a secret though.... probably best to not arrive on the weekend and I bet summer time is crowed!

[@LaCatLady]

@@oneadVANtureatatime Gotta it. Thank you.

[@michele2017promastertravel]

Dave got a tacti-kilt. How totally. awesome!!! It's manly all the way. My son has one and loves his. FREEEDOMMMM!!! (a reference to the movie Braveheart). Just FYI historically speaking pants were invented for women because they worked around the cooking fire.

Comfort first.

[@Volunteersunrise]

Carrie, could you add a patreon link to your videos please. Pam and I enjoy your videos very much. We are tremendous Riddle fans. Wishing you safe and fun travels.

Oh Carrie!!! so sorry!!! Guys only think of comfort, they don't try to get cute to please you! Unlike all other species in which the male is always the most attractive, we, human females are left to grow more and more patient as they grow more and more "funny" LLLOOOLLL Great video as always!!! Thank you!

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Dave has never cared about how he dressed and what other people think😂 it’s a good thing but sometimes I’m like.... really? 😂😂😂

[@lisaw1873]

I like seeing real van life. So many mostly focus on being entertaining.

[@darklontz2115]

I live 17 miles from Steel Creek Park in Bosque County. I think we have 7 actual parks on Lake Whitney and some of them are full service Corp of Engineers parks. If you get the Federal Parks pass, the RV camping is only $10/night. I have the Senior Pass which was lifetime for $65. When we have friends come to Lake Whitney, we pull our RV over and stay with them at Lofers Bend West. McCowan Park is near the 1713 bridge and it is very popular with all the amenities. We usually take our boat up the lake and pull in at the beaches on Steel Creek just for fun. The Corp of Engineers takes good care of all of their parks and some of them close from October until March due to low volume traffic and staffing issues. Thanks for the video, I shared it on Facebook.

[@angelapietras1235]

Why don’t you get a small leaf blower to clean out the sand.

[@duckiegirl58]

"It's the Roodle the Doodle Show! Dave and Carrie come along just to toss the ball and play..!" (Leveling blocks) Kilts need taller socks and boots.. he needs a UtiliKilt! Less 'blow up'.. (also needs a bagpipe!) ❤️❤️❤️

[@mariogritzalis1]

Nice videos. wood preference we have an SRT. Ok Really get Shorts! Seriously .... It took my breath away. Diana and Mario

[@HM-ll6qw]

Great video! Cool looking Kilt and yes sand to clean up. When you first opened your refrigerator it looked like a printer and I said "what? So nice to hear and see how you make things work. We don't live in van but we travel a lot with it and we also use a very small cooler that fits just a sixpack. We start out from home with a small frozen water bottle and load it every inch by repacking cheeses etc. into zip loc bags very tight. When we run out of ice we get ice t a soda fountain using a zip loc bag, so we never buy, never have to pay for ice. Of course we don't boondocks remote for too long, mostly 2 days at the time. I love your videos! Alway learn something! Happy Travels! Greetings from Penrose, CO!

[@MrMarkAMartin]

Really pleased that you pick up trash and better yet that you publicize the effort. I like the kilt, show's that you think for yourself. We really need a national fishing license option, it about kills me when I'm travelling not to be able to fish because well, you've got to draw a line somewhere.... Check out the great disparity in the cost of a fishing license across the country, it's interesting. Oh, let me know if you need advice/help with your wedding photography, I've shot over 500, gave it up to go commercial only in 95. Happy Travel syou all!

[@rodneyross5282]

Wow someone found out about Steel Creek. Been trying to keep it a secret lol. Just around the corner from my house. You can actually scuba dive in lake Whitney. You are right about the size it is big.

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

Sorry! It is a really cool spot! I scuba diving is really interesting on this lake!

[@MamaBaer54]

I cant find this campground listed on the COE website. Is it because it is free? As in no reservations so first come first serve?

[@Scrambler85]

Dave is a champion for cleaning up other people's trash. Hard to tell but I think I liked camp site #1 because of the trees. I knew the sand was going to live on for a while 😱. Dave was rocking that kilt, according to a DNA test I'm 38% Scottish. Great video as always 👍

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

#1 definitely had some shade whereas #2 was wide open.... but the views!!! We are still finding sand a month later but I think we got most of it! Who know Dave might have Scottish in him as well! I feel like we need a test now😂

[@northtexas4110]

Hey guys🙋🏽‍♀️ The 1st campsite looked a little more secluded but also looked like someone took a bite out of the table & bench😃 I liked the second spot better too. Dave’s the first guy I’ve seen who can pull off a kilt👍🏽 “Didn’t we tell your mom I was getting a kilt? Yeah, and she laughed.”🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing. I’ve added it to my list 😊🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@RobandJanCanVan]

Hey Dave and Carrie. First of all...what is going on with all these Vanlifer Men???? Dave in a kilt, Chrome shaving his legs.....is Rob going to start wearing make-up? 😂 Dave, comfort is key. Just be careful not to show YOUR roodle doodle! Hahahah ROB’s TIP: We watched you cleaning the front cab area. You will save a lot of cleaning time and keep more moisture out too, by purchasing “Weathertech - First row, over the hump, mats” They make them for Promasters. In Canada, they cost $189, so probably only $150 or less US$. Much firmer construction than original floor mats. Great video. We are writing down all of your awesome camp spots. Thanks so much for the tips! 👍

[@oneadVANtureatatime]

I don’t know what’s going on🤷‍♀️ but beware and be on the lookout for Robs strange behavior to present itself😂 we will have to check out those mats.... sounds perfect! Any news on when the border may reopen?

[@RobandJanCanVan]

@@oneadVANtureatatime I will keep a close eye on Rob. 😉 We are very behind in vaccinations here in Canada, and currently in a “stay at home” order as cases are rising. 😞 Sadly, I don’t see the borders opening for quite some time. The best thing about that mat, is that it is one solid piece across and directs any water to the outside edge and keeps the battery area dry and clean. Highly recommend them!!! ❤️

[@jayare7746]

Hi. I watched your video 5 things you hate about your promaster. I have experienced many of the same things. The anti freeze smell was driving me insane. I also noticed I was attracting bees everywhere I stopped. No coolant leaking, similar to your experience. Took it in to dealer, crack on top of radiator and I was lead to believe it's a common problem. Headlight. I have a 2019 159 hi top bought used. First trio out I notice all this condensation in the drivers side headlamp. Van was still under warranty and had replaced. So a video recently by a van conversion company that said all the promaster vans he's worked on have water in the drivers side headlamp. Hope this helps. See ya around. JR in RI

We bought a new coolant tank but have not installed it yet. Weird about the light... we never had any condensation inside until this year and it’s the passenger side light🤷‍♀️

Thank you for the great video! Leveling blocks or rocks? NEITHER! I level my bed only. Much much easier to do. Now my parking is based on best sun angle for the solar panel. Also I use a small vacuum to help keep the floor clean and to suck up bugs.

Smart to level your bed! I think you either gotta level the van or have tiltable solar panels. We now have a small vacuum after staying on the beach for so long!
