Six+ months (!) in Crozet, VA
We’ve stayed in a lot of campgrounds across and up and down the US (see where on this map!), and Misty Mountain Camp Resort in the village of Crozet, just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, is the nicest campground we’ve found–which is...
Two days in Chapel Hill / Durham / Carrboro, NC
We specifically went to the Carrboro area to see a band we love, Destroyer, whom we followed from Asheville. A lovely bonus to this stop is that my mom, sister, and nephew live nearby and could pop over for a...
Two days in Lexington, KY

Three days in Nashville, TN (visit #2)
[Read about our other Nashville visits here: #1, #3, and #4] After we took the Airstream to Nashville last Spring, we knew we wanted to return for the food, drink, and fun, all with easy access from a campground in...
Two days in Savannah, GA
J and I had not been to Savannah, so we wanted to spend as much time as possible wandering around and soaking up the history and architecture of the city. Our internet research did not get us particularly excited about...
