[@deniseperez9200]

Dont u get an email confirmation with all the info?

[@stevetekrv5791]

In the literal hundreds of KZbin RV video's I've watched, including dozens of yours, this is quite possibly the most valuable information I've ever seen. Thank you Tom!!! Been full time since fall 2020! You guys rock! :-)

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Wow, thank you!

[@irawall9159]

I appreciated this video. We started looking into this before Covid. We had not been monitoring this at all and in the fall started RV shopping again and learned about the premium of new and used RVs. We still moved forward. Then we found we shouldn’t have bought 40’ and now finding we missed the boat on bookings this summer. This helped.

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

Finding places to stay is certainly more challenging that it was 8 years ago when we hit the road but as you have showed, very doable if you just think a little. Thanks for sharing.

[@CarolLovesJesus]

Rv places to stay~ 1. State parks 2. Army Corps campgrounds 3. Rv resorts 4. Casino 5. Blm land 6. Harvest hosts Wine & Brewery 7. Fairgrounds 8. Some theme parks

[@renelambert552]

There is a great county park in Ririe, Idaho on the river/dam. From there we drove over to the Tetons and to West Yellowstone. We stayed there on our 42 ft 5th wheel. Its all paved huge sites $20 a night.

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Thanks for sharing Rene!

[@anthonyr927]

Thank you for all the information.I am planning on going full time at the end of the year.All the channels I have watched does not come close to your knowledge.Tom and Cheri you rock!Always be kind is the way to live!😎🤘

[@mike_adams]

We’re one of the newbies hitting the road this year. Retiring 3.31, (@61) Jayco Northpoint 377 5er on order. Bought new f350 dually. New coach should be here by May. Not a full timer, but definitely on the road to see this beautiful country on our own schedule, in our new home away from home.

[@kevio6868]

Congrats Michael!

[@danimal1611]

Congratulations! Enjoy and have fun!

[@soonerjane8966]

we live in OKC & took our trailer out for the 1st time to Silver Dollar City Branson Mo. We were at WalMart almost every other day picking up something else. At first I took a lot of paper plates & plastic eating utensils. I hate putting all of that into landfills so when we got home straight to Walmart and 4 settings of everything. I don't mind doing a few dishes !!!

[@Degirl1563]

Heading out the first of May for a 5 month RV trip from California to Maine. We just booked our last campsite yesterday. Thanks for the great tips.

[@charlottedavis9864]

So helpful ☺️. Thanks

[@sherriduchateau5079]

Your title says sneak into sold out campsites.? I am hearing making reservations 6 months in advance?

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

There are 11 total tips. The secret hack to getting into sold out campgrounds is covered in tip 10.

[@arbonneladyTN]

@@EnjoyTheJourneyLife We learned outside Yellowstone at the ____?___ Ranch you can often park in the parking lot... and the next morning you are there to snag a rv spot that was opened up!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

When that website was passed on between friends, it worked great. But another well known RV channel made a video about it and it is freely discussed on Facebook. It still can work, but not like before. The more people who use it, the less chance you have of getting the site. Plus there are many more RVers than before. But we chose living full time in our RV- that means the good and the bad. Keep safe, Alice

[@debbier2626]

Also, on this site not all states are even included in it, i.e. AZ, so not all popular parks & campgrounds are even searchable in my experiences so far. 😒 Frustrating with this kind of encouraging ppl to book then cancel and stalking reserve games all the time!! Honest families and good hard working ppl that don't have bulging budgets can't find getaways & nicer campground sites unless they become manipulators of the reservations games? Wow.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

@@debbier2626 Debbie, it’s been so hard, especially as full timers. People will book out weekends 11 months in advance. I guess they can afford the cancellation fees. We can’t. Now I hear you can pay people to get you a spot? It’s getting so hard to get anything- even with a Thousand Trails membership. Alice

[@dzymslizzy3641]

WOW! Backed right up to the water in one of the shots in your intro! I wouldn't DARE!! With my luck, I'd get so stuck in that sand...especially with a heavy vehicle like an RV. I don't think I'd even drive my lil' ol' F150 onto that surface. Hell...I got stuck in the sand in my own damn yard one time!!! :-O This whole reservation thing is new-ish to me. When I was a kid, we'd go camping, and just show up, never an issue. And my dad loved to go to the national parks. We always got in. When I took my kids on similar trips in the late 1970s--early1980s, we mostly got in without reservations. KOAs were the only places we needed them. (In my tent camping days, I found some opposite frustrations: there were a few places we went where we had trouble finding tent sites; they were all RV only!) But for me, that puts you on a schedule, and escaping from schedules and just being free-wheeling and spontaneous is the WHOLE POINT of a vacation! I don't like this "new reality." In any case, my RV dream is dead. I'm 73, and have developed a minor heart issue; my mother-in-law is 10 years older and very infirm; dependent upon a walker even inside the house...and I just did the math...we'd have to exclusively boondock to afford it, and that wouldn't suit her at all. In listening to your nightly rates, yes, far less pricey than hotels/motels, but I did the math...and my monthly mortgage payment works out to just over 2 bucks per day to stay in my sticks and bricks! And that's actually about 60% of my entire social security check--the only income I have. There is no way I'd be able to afford to pay in advance for a bunch of different sites months ahead! I definitely live paycheck to paycheck. Social security isn't really enough to live on AND have any left for savings or emergencies. Cancellation fees? Nope..I need every one of those $20 or $30!! :-( :-O I wish I could sign up as a Boondockers Welcome host, but I really have nothing to offer; no sewer, no real electric, no water except our well water, and it doesn't taste very good....plus our entry drive is a tight navigation, even though the lot is large. Still, I could only host one at a time, because we are on septic, so there are places where vehicles cannot drive or park. Sigh. Our "travel plans" this year...we probably had our travel already; had to spend one night at a motel in the next-door town due to a plumbing emergency! THAT cost us $151 WITH my AAA discount! I guess that's our 'travel' for the year....otherwise, we just do day trips to places like Old Town Sacramento...or over to the coast south of San Francisco...

[@Debbie_T_FL]

Thanks so much Tom! Whenever I see a site available at Bahia Honda and try to book it, it tells me I can’t book until 8 AM EST. I start at 7:30 am, hitting return constantly, but no luck. Guess I’ll start trying Sunshine Key at 1 am EST.

[@patwatkins2952]

Lol!!! We tried to get 2 weeks in December there. Tried the same thing you did. We had 2 phones and 2 laptops ready at 7:59. 8 am came and it was full everytime we hit enter...so frustrating.

[@erikanderson1085]

Nicely done, Tom! Great video, clear explanations and on-point tips! Jeanne and I and our pup Hershey have been fulltime traveling since last July 2020 and we use all of the strategies that you do. It is all very doable, albeit sometimes with a lot of work and a bit of luck, even in these RV’ing boom times. We haven’t had to cancel a reservation yet in favor of a better alternative, and avoid doing so, but it can be necessary in a pinch. We would take some solace in knowing that the site would be snapped up in a heartbeat and probably make another camper super happy. Jeanne and I have been using RV Trip Wizard for a couple years now and absolutely love the platform!! It’s such a great way to plan, research and make reservations. So worth the annual subscription as far as we’re concerned! And don’t feel bad about sharing the Wandering Labs tip! That’s been out there for a long time now. Jeanne and I abhor when other RVers, fulltime or otherwise, advocate for “keeping secrets” from others, especially when it comes to the PUBLIC lands (“owned” by ALL of us) out there. Not sharing is, well, not nice in our opinion. So, we applaud your spirit of sharing for the community of all of us. We still have a few gaps to fill b/t now and the end of 2021 (we’re set with our big/main destinations up through March 2020), but it’s fun working in filling those in-between needs! Like you, I enjoy the challenge and scoring cool sites! Btw, I’m writing this atop Nomad View/The Wall in the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands/The Badlands in Wall, SD, where we’re boondocking for 7 days. Absolutely extraordinary!! :-). (And, yes, solar power is a beautiful thing!) ☀️⚡️ Happy and safe travels to you and Cherie!

[@erikanderson1085]

Oops…typo…we have our main/big destinations booked though March 2022! :-)

[@nancyfuller4901]

Badlands to Yellowstone, to Grand Teton to Bearfoot Hwy boondocking, then to Rocky Mountain National Park. May 23 to June 18 booked so far. Then hang around CO for a few weeks.

[@mickeymcintosh3425]

For Grand Teton & Yellowstone National Parks it is better to change locations, even if you camp in the park. They are huge with lots of driving so moving campsites help. Note:. I'm 3 hours from them. My opinion for the best times to go are early spring when they 1st open when you'll see lots of babies or autumn when the elk are bugling.

[@Tryke_Ryder]

“Navigating to that site...” amen to that!!! I followed the ‘Golf cart guy’ 2 years ago and didn’t pay close enough attention to the route he was taking, and a tree branch damaged the radius of our roof... 😦

[@vdubing01]

Army Corp of Engineer has really great campgrounds. They're generally big sites, very clean, near water and CHEAP! State parks in our area are around $33 per night while Army Corp of Engineer sites are $20-$22 per night with 50smp.

[@kathypope3878]

What month or time of year have you found the best weather in the Keys? Fall, Winter or Spring? Thanks for all the information you share.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Wow this new website you shared seems like a game changer! We made a note of it! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brendabardell-resch6869]

I love glacier. Used to do a girls weekend every September for a few years. Haven't done for a while. Once covid over and Canada opens border may head down.

[@johnnypark3729]

Thank You, Tom!!! We ARE GOING FULL-TIME...This June... and we will be in the same area’s of your travels at the same time... We are a little NERVOUS taking the Full-Time PLUNGE! Thank you, for Calming my nerves, a bit more....

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Congrats guys! See you on the road!🎉

[@thatmarionchickonyoutube7545]

If you have issues with campgrounds, there are always Harvest Hosts and/or Cracker barrel for boondocking, Congratulations guys and see you on the road!

[@glampervanadventures1117]

Hey I just wanted you to know that I enjoy watching your channel and all the useful information you have, I recently started a van build and getting more serious about building my Utube Channel, again thanks for all that you do.

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

That is awesome!

[@thatmarionchickonyoutube7545]

We love HH and if that's not available Cracker Barrel is the safest compared to WM😲

[@BradFizer]

What’s your tips for key west? Trying to book January but nothing available

[@chriskriaris2671]

Your welcome Tom for all my tips i gave u

[@scottvandusen396]

How about Corp of Engineers Parks I been going there

[@glampingthewrightway5704]

Like you guys my wife and I are full-time RVers. I work remotely and we tend to move to a location for a year or so and then move on, taking several one week vacations and traveling the area. We’ve been discussing the idea of spending a year or so traveling about, and this video was particularly useful for planning...thanks.

[@trudymaenza9672]

Glazier is great, I grew up near the park in Whitefish, MT! I have lived not far from Crater Lake since 1962, Roseburg, Oregon.

[@katherinez9654]

Live in Eugene now but grew up in Ashland

[@carolkrueger7169]

Great video, thanks. Took notes. LOL

[@jermsman18]

Rolling 6 months in advance here in Michigan. Had to literally sit on the site waiting for the clock to tick over to get one of two spaces left. Crazy demand.

[@rhondalynnherrera8083]

Two videos in a row with not much about you exploring the local area. I love your channel but you have explained extensively how to reserve RV spots. I want to see more of your adventure. I love you and Cheri and Logan's personalities. I would like to see more of your adventure.

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

We have more adventure coming, but we are in a transition phase, more info coming soon!

[@homelandfreedom]

For safety you should not tell people what state your in that guy who threaten you dnt need to know were you are..

[@cfreeman122]

You guys rock!! Your video editing has been on point. 👍😁

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Thank you so much 😁

[@immasher2139]

We are from Minnesota and in the next year, we are out of here! I've learned so much and thank you for the videos you post. I am still wishy washy as to what to do when we retire, but you have brought some clarification. Thank you for sharing even against your intuition!

[@lindaard913]

Great video. All tips were spot on.

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@droningharry]

So Reserve America is our favorite outside our big trips Iowa has a 90 day window so I'm always there booking out our weeks in the State Parks. You really need to be fast because they fill up quickly as well and I imagine it will be that much worse this year with all the Newbies coming into Rv'ing this year as well. We are thinking about Coast to Coast this year to, another opportunity to Camp outside the Public areas and still have fun. Good video.

[@SaltyVetAdventures]

Great video. I plan on doing a lot of Boondocking this summer. I’m only a weekend warrior right now but I plan on getting out as much as possible. We are based in Salt Lake and plan on being at Lake Powell a lot this year! 😎

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Have fun!

[@billchristianson927]

Awesome job. Keep up the great videos. We truly enjoy seeing all of your adventures. Maybe one day we will be at the same place you are. We would love to introduce ourselves and thank you in person. Take care - stay healthy, and now go wash your hands.

[@lottosal]

I love the "hunt" and piecing our trips together as well! Thanks for the great tips! 👍

I like RVParky app for my travel and boondocks. I just don't know if I'll ever get to go anywhere anymore alone

[@bevtrue6937]

Awesome info. Thanks for sharing.

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@The_Traveling_Caldwells]

Have you considered staying in Victor, ID when visiting the Tetons? Your rig will fit in the RV parks on that side of the Tetons.

[@gardeneyes1]

We stayed in Victor ID last fall and it was great. Much quieter and some great restaurants there that aren’t crowded.

[@russrockino-rr0864]

It sounds like a lot of work, Tom. It is sad that parks and campgrounds cannot keep up with the demand.

[@Wavecruzer79]

What are you doing on your momentum for the Yak? Hitch I assume? We have a 2021 Momentum 397TH. I need to carry a Hobie Outback.

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

It's a Vertiyak.

[@andic1586]

Hate to say it, camping has become so discouraging. I grew up in the sixties and dad just took off and we could find camping spots. We bought our TT 5 years ago and are last minute people. We dont know what tomorrow holds much less that far out. We tried Myrtle Beach twice and had to cancel. We don't live on our phones or computer. I even asked my husband if we should sell. We only got into our local state parks once last summer. 😟

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Sorry to hear that guys, thanks for sharing.

[@brucefay5126]

I did not hear you mention the US Army Corps of Engineers. Do you use their campgrounds? What tool do you use to find and book them?

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Thanks Bruce, COE parks will show up on a recreation.gov search. Love those when we can find them!

[@annalarson2914]

Been watching your video's and wondering if you get tired from moving constantly? Do you prefer boondocking or staying at a RV park? Thanks for the video's! 😁

[@sylviebrindamour6980]

Good tips. Very discouraging to book sites in Ontario's Provincial Parks this year. Can only book 5 months before your arrival date. On the laptop at 7am morning of, by the time you press the reserve button, site is gone.😒

That sounds familiar, good luck Sylvie!

I’m in San Diego and wanted to go to Santee lakes I was told they were only allowing essential worker to stay there and you had to stay for a month.

[@ahmedmanajid]

I think santee lakes has always been hard to book. I stayed there for a few months but i lucked out. Literally only had a few spots for 35ft but i was able to fit mine into a 30ft spot on a corner.

[@rebeccahulon888]

We are booked in all the same places you named. What apps do you use for a large RV? We in a Tiffin Allegro Bus, pulling a small jeep.

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Awesome! All of our apps are listed here: enjoythejourney.life/rv-trip-planning/

How long fo you AVG per night stay in any place

[@jones2journey]

We saw you looking at Willow Wind Rv Park in Utah. Will you be staying there and when? We are staying there the month of March. Going to be doing just what you were talking about in your video. Working out from a central location to see the National Parks.

Signed up for wanderinglabs.com, about 5 days later got a email saying they were "pausing my request because of resources ", however if I sent them some money they would never pause my request. Needless to say I will not bother with them again.

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Oh, interesting....thanks for sharing that!

[@fightswithspirits915]

Those handicap camping spots crack me up. They are mostly empty and appear no different than other sites. Looks basically like set-aside. RV sites may be different but with camping, those spots get wasted.

[@timbouldin7033]

Your RV Trip Wizard looks diffrent from the one I have. I signed up with RV LIfe who says that they merged with Trip Wizard. This does not allow you to do the things I have seen done by many of you guys who i follow. Can you tell me anything about this? Thanks so much and love to follow you on your trips.

[@ChuckinKona]

Audio is uncharacteristically uneven. Somehow the volume seems to boost at the edit.

What wireless internet would you recommend for someone who needs to be connected 8 hours a day?

Hi Tom, enjoy your videos. Im looking at somewhere to go with my grandson during the xmas holidays this year. The last too years we've gone to florida without the camper but next xmas im possibly looking at taking the camper to south texas. Can you give me some info on where you boondocked recently on the gulf coast i believe it was somewhere around Galveston or corpus Christy id have to look back. It was after you left the nitemare in florida!

[@rae1957tn]

If you cancel you will pay the full amount if you cancel. I had to cancel 3weeks in advance and had to pay for the week I had reservations for that was in 2016 before everyone decided to go rving .

[@ronaldpigeon4713]

I agree cancellations could get expensive. Not sure why the RV parks want to charge cancellations when they will turn right around and book it any way. Another revenue stream for them and did not cost them anything.

While I dislike the “no refund” policy (and think it should be illegal), I suspect that RV parks/resorts in popular places do this to discourage people making lots of reservations, many of which they never intend to use if/when they find a better spot.

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Thanks everyone. This has not been our experience. At most we've paid for a one night stay as long as we cancelled at least 7 days in advance.

[@ronaldpigeon4713]

FYI. I just made a reservation the cost of the stay was like 359.00 total. They required/demanded 300.00 deposit. This is for a campground about 5 months out. That will have no trouble filling that reservation if I have to cancel. So why such a high deposit? Taking money out of my pockets 5 mos. out? Because I think they are greedy and can get away with it. Even a hotel does not charge you till you arrive. I do understand a deposit, like one night stay. So they can not loose.

Why don't you tow the Jeep 4 wheel down ? And unhook when you get too camp site !

[@arbonneladyTN]

No doubt because many states don’t allow a 5th wheel to tow a car🤷‍♀️

I am glad I only bought a Teardrop. If traveling/camping becomes overly stressful I’ll Not RV America. I’ll transition too guided bus tours, River cruises Princess Cruises. I’ll pay to have others worry about making me a happy traveler.

Heads up. Need to get shuttle passes to see Zion National Park. Go to Recreation.Gov the day before you go to get, your tickets. Need to be on at 9:00 to get them. They go fast Thanks for your information

[@EnjoyTheJourneyLife]

Thanks for the info!

[@olliechristopher467]

You do not need a shuttle pass to see the park. Only needed to see the upper canyon and scenic drive road.

[@pdiddyskunk]

OMG Please level your volume. It goes back and forth from low to blast.

[@Mexicobeanpole]

Not that big of a deal. Free information.

[@aaronrogers9957]

Sounded fine to me

[@marksmith653]

Hello hello

[@michelleballard2285]

Wow cant believe you book things and cancel last minute if you feel like it. Causes others that won't cancel to have to jump through hoops to try and get a spot

[@ronaldpigeon4713]

That is right, if you are doing this as part of your plan. That is terrible. Plus to do that you must have a lot of money, very high deposits earlier. That money is not available for for you to use many month's out if you are to plan several stays.

[@Debbie_T_FL]

I’m grateful to people who cancel at the last minute. That’s how I find some of my best campground spots, like the awesome 5 nights we got at Lost Dutchman State Park In Apache Junction, AZ. It was the best site in the park 😊
