State parks are great, we have some wonderful ones here in MN that you'd really enjoy - it's nice and cool on the north shore of Lake Superior in summer... Sadly I've seen many state parks around the country that have been trashed, just like I've seen our beautiful national lands turning into. I say thank God for the National Park Service and what they do for us to protect our lands. We used to go on jeep trails throughout the western mountain states but have stopped now because they've become overrun by ATVs breaking the rules, laws, and generally failing to respect our lands. Camp sites full of trash now, etc... They are ruining it for everyone. What good person would disrespect our lands like this? The BLM/Forest Service/state parks need more help in dealing with these kinds of people. I'm very happy for the National Park Service. Could their rules be tweaked and improved a bit? Sure, but good on them.

Ok Kristi is not just the upgraded American Wife she is the Diamond version of the upgraded American Wife. Thus, the reason that Sean will need the cold showers. Sorry Kristi, you guys just set that one up way too well. I think those hooks by the picnic table are for Coleman lanterns which had a much more romantic glow than the harsh bright white light of the modern LED "lanterns". Keep the good stuff coming guys.

Good video. Something to consider: My brother retired after 30 years as a Sheriff's deputy in Wyoming. He then worked for 5 years as a Wyoming State Park Law Enforcement Ranger. He said he came across more scum and low-lifes in those 5 years than he did the whole 30 years of being a deputy. Therefore, don't let your guard down when enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors in those state parks!

When we’re traveling state parks are generally our first choice for several reasons that you mentioned. They generally have one or more hook ups, lower nightly rates and can be easier to book than national parks. State parks are often closer to towns and amenities than national parks and easier to access when traveling. Welcome back, and safe travels!

Just last month we stayed at Meaher State Park in Spanish Fort, just south of Mobile. It is a great park. Good, level sites that are not so close together. Full hook-ups with showers and a great laundry at reasonable prices. The staff was great, the gate to the park closed at 6pm and you needed the gate code to come in. I was very impressed with such good surroundings in a state park. We would stay here again.

This summer/fall I only have five more parks to visit to complete all in the lower 48. 🤠 I can’t thank you enuf for all you do and that you keep your airstream and repair it like me rather than getting newer model. I love my Bambi. Anyway looking to find what your advice is on trip planning apps I usually go like you adjusting and planning while traveling. But this time my cousin wants to meet me in Great Basin NV park. I need to figure out dates and book reservations before I leave Maine where I always start my journeys even though I m from Mass

We spend time snow birding in the south ,the only Alabama State Park we have stayed at is Gulf Shores. We have stayed at a few COES in Alabama, Gunter Hill and Deerlick Creek. Yes about equestrian campsites, they often are overlooked. In Florida this year we had trouble finding a campground and found an equestrian one with openings. I told them I had a Pinto, so is it okay to stay? They said I didn't need to have a horse to stay. A little bit out of the way but less that $20 a night water, electric, and bathrooms with showers!

Hi Sean and Kisty, funny niether one of my ex-wives would be helping with the hot water heater. Beautiful and helpful, Sean you are a lucky man. With not being able to film in national parks anymore I am now doing more state parks. The main problem with state parks is the weekenders. They have no camping etiquette, don't know or don't care. My generation the only way you would ever pee in a sink, was at a crowded concert. LOL This looks like a cool park. So you can fly drones at that park? Safe travels. Don

State parks are gems, and probably where we camp the most. We live in Arizona and enjoy Dead Horse Ranch and Kartchner Caverns mostly, but others are wonderful. New Mexico has so many wonderful state parks, as does Texas. Seems like National Parks have the excitement of being in a truly nationally-recognized special area but as such, there are limitations as to what you can do and getting in to reserve a campsite can be such a challenge. State parks (and county parks) are so much more relaxed and a great home base for traveling around that particular region. Both are different experiences, though, but I agree with your assessment. Oak Mountain looks wonderful!!!

Yes, a few years ago I was speaking with some friends while we were camping on some bureau of land management land out west. Our friends commented that they did not really feel comfortable camping in national parks due to the restrictions with regards to pets and going off-road and so forth. Of course the national parks have the benefit of so many beautiful natural areas and I certainly understand they need to preserve those areas. But the state parks have a lot of freedom going for them, and with freedom often comes fun. I think this particular state park is operated in a way that profoundly benefits the community because so many enjoyable activities are made available

They have nice cement pads and are very clean, a bit expensive and like this park not much privacy BUT they are a great place to stay at the start of season to shakedown and prep for the season, they are also nice to use the last weekend of the season to clean out and winterize (Northeast Ohio).

Love the upgrades. We camped at Oak Mt when we dropped our son off at Samford and it was a pretty underwhelming campground at that time but the park looked amazing. Do they still have the water covered road on the northern end of the park? My son did a lot of mountain biking during his years in BHAM. We have recently moved from GA to UT and we took our little piece of BHAM with us, our Storyteller Overland. Your videos make me miss our Airstream years but the van is in its element in UT. Great video as always.

So at the 17 minute mark there is a musical piece that was supposed to be some discussion of the mountain biking. I know it is great there. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

We paid the rate they charged ( I think it was around $220 for 5 nights). In 17 years of RV travel I can’t think of too many times we’ve ever stayed in a campground without a charge. The only places I know you can stay where you don’t “have to pay for it” would be Boondocking on BLM land. Why would you expect to stay in a state park for free? I think every single state park in the nation charges a nightly rate for the campground. It’s been that way everywhere for my entire life.

Am a big fan of state parks campgrounds...Am especially a fan of COE campgrounds as they are more often than not around lakes or rivers....$10-$15 a nite for all the amenities (power, water, garbage, dump, showers) with the annual or lifetime America the Beautiful national park pass cant be beat....State parks $30-$45 range ...Both better options for our $$$ than overcrowded , overpriced RV parks...Looking forward to seeing what comes next from you folks ....State Park tours ???? Stay safe, be well...

Yes, we may end up touring state parks and doing a bunch of videos ... lots of fun, usually easier to snag campsites, and less hassle overall. Thanks!

I sometimes quote prices, but prices always seem to fluctuate, so it always makes for inaccurate information in the future. In this case, the prices even fluctuate during the week and certainly during the time of year. You’re going to pay more during high season than you will during the off-season and will pay more on the weekends then you will pay during the week. Our pricing was in the mid-$40 range … but towards the low 40s during the weekdays and the high 40s on the weekends.

Thanks, Chito, that is a very frustrating audio glitch. I have spent many hours trying to correct. I thought I had 100% fixed. I assume it is a glitch in the software. Aargh!

@@cpono in all the years we've been posting videos, this is the first time such a significant (30-second!) glitch has made it into the final post. After several hours of rendering and re-renderring the vid, I thought I had it 100% fixed. Thankfully KZbin has some tools online that allow some minor "editing" after the fact -- so I will try to insert some music over the part that is messed up. This is one of those irritating mistakes that will annoy me for years! I will inform The Wife that Chito says it's time for a new computer...

Excellent look at what is clearly a beautiful state park. While we really enjoy National Parks, we also spend a lot of time in State and Provincial Parks. Some great ones all across this continent. Very happy to see you guys on the road again. As always, very safe travels....

Last year the NPS started banning all video creation in the national parks. I'm hearing that they may have backed off that policy, but I am not sure. We were forced to start avoiding national parks after the ban. Hopefully they will change the policy to something more reasonable.

You guys rock. Easily my favorite RV channel, along with RVing makes Cents. I love your ironic humor. I live next door in GA, and never considered camping in Alabama. I love COE and state parks, and I will for sure visit here in the future! GA needs to step up our game, there aren't any beaches on our lakes that allow pups. This park is a freaking resort!
