RVers Share Their Secret Best Camping Spots

| Updated Aug 11, 2021

We love asking the campers we meet around the country to tell us their best camping spots and in Episode 358 of the RV Podcast, we learn of five of them.

These best camping spots are not very well known and in the Interview of the Week, you'll hear them all.

See our Video Podcast of the Best Camping Spots

We do the RV Podcast in front of a camera. So there is both an audio and video version.

To see the video on our RV Lifestyle YouTube Channel, click below:

Listen to the Audio Version of the Best Camping Spots

You can hear the RV Podcast on the Apple Podcast App, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, and pretty much all the other podcast apps.

But you can listen right now, by just clicking the player below.

What we cover in this episode

the city pf rocks in New Mexico is one of the Best Camping Sites we talk about
The City of Rocks State Park in New Mexico is one of the Best Camping Spots we talk about in this episode

While the main topic in this episode deals with the best Camping Spots we heard from various campers we met on a trip we did a while back to Glacier National Park, there's much more that we talk about.

This week, we're trying something different with the shownotes for the episode.

We're listing each topic we discuss and every RV industry story we report by when it appears in the podcast.

So, no matter whether you watch on video or listen via the audio-only player, just go to the time shown in the player for each different topic.

For example, if you want to hear just the interview about the best camping spots, click on the player and slide it until you see the timecode register at about 39 minutes and 10 seconds from the start.

If, instead, you want to learn about the nightly show at Carlsbad Caverns National Park put on by the bats, go to nine minutes and 52 seconds in.

This is the first time we have listed the topics. It was suggested by a follower this week and it sounded like a good idea.

So if this timecode list is helpful, please tell us by letting us know in the comments at the end of this article.

You’re done with the noisy RV parks, the 3.5 feet of room you have squished in between two other RVs, and other people’s kids running through your campsite?

This is the book for you.

The timeline for the podcast was very helpful. I thought the ID tag for your pet was a very good idea.
Comment: I think the Hershey RV Show will be a disappointment this year especially with Camping World, the largest RV retailer in the US, not showing up.
