Indiana When planning our visit to Indiana, Tippecanoe River State Park turned out to be an excellent basecamp. The park is large, heavily wooded, and offers plenty of room to spread out.

Campground One of the first things you'll notice is just how much shade there is. Towering oak and maple trees cover nearly every campsit

The Wild Center in Tupper Lake exceeded every expectation I had. I originally visited to see the giant Trolls exhibit created by artist Thomas Dambo, but I quickly discovered the attraction is much more than a museum. The Trolls exhibit features six massive sculptures built entirely from recycled materials and hidden throughout the property. Finding them feels like a scavenger hunt through the Adirondack forest. Each troll has its own personality and setting. Standing nearly

Earl G. Williamson Park – Caddo Lake, Oil City, LA A true hidden gem right on the shoreline of Caddo Lake. Spacious RV sites with water/sewer, a dump station, tent sites, and a boat launch—plus room to park a trailer at most sites. Only $12/night, which feels like a steal.

Camp Kalama sits right on the river with easy highway access and plenty of room to breathe. Spacious gravel sites—many long, flat, and drive-through—make it friendly for big rigs, while tent sites sit close to the water with a sandbar just steps away (though the riverbank is steep in spots). Water/electric hookups, a dump station, propane on site, and lots of trash cans keep things simple and clean. There are also a handful of full-timers, but most sites turn over daily. Larg
