RV Camping Tips

* Hershey’s chocolate bar

* marshmallows

* graham crackers

Place half of a Hershey’s® Milk Chocolate bar onto a graham cracker half. Carefully toast a marshmallow over a grill or campfire.

Comment: Use Nestle’ crunch chocolate bar for nut lovers.

Dedicated to finding campgrounds that have beautiful views of natural settings, I recommend Bog Springs and Lakeview campgrounds located near Tucson, Arizona in Coronado National Forest for their beautiful views of the unique terrain of southeastern Arizona. They’re also great for bird watching and hiking.

Bog Springs Campground

Bog Springs is the only campground in Madera Canyon – a world-class birding area with over 200 species of birds. Hawks, Quail, Doves, Road Runners, Owls, Woodpeckers, Hummingbirds, Jays, Cardinals, Mockingbirds, Thrashers, White-breasted Nuthatches, Bridled Titmice, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and many more bird species can all be seen in the Madera Canyon area.

Graduating to 37 feet of delightful space and convenience, we spent a month preparing and hit the road.
