‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣ THIS EPISODE ‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣‣
In this episode, we get to do something we have never done before in 5 years of traveling full-time on the road - stay in a National Park campground for 7 days straight and BONUS: we didn't have to move sites once!
Since we didn’t have any hookups in this campground, we wanted to share some of our tips and tricks with you on how to prepare for dry camping or boondocking. This includes getting all of your groceries before heading into the park (all stores inside the national parks will be more expensive and have less variety), making sure everything is charged before you get there, having plenty of gas for your generator, and knowing where the water is located to fill up your fresh water tank before you park in your site.
Bryce National Park is one of Corey’s favorite national parks to photograph. Unfortunately, there was a full moon when we arrived so that was going to hinder him from getting the Milky Way shots that he was hoping to capture.
We stayed in North Campground which is the campground in Bryce that sits on the rim side, meaning you are able to walk from your campsite right out to the rim overlooking the canyon below.
There are 4 overlook points along the Rim Trail that you can either hike or drive to, and we wanted to give you an overview of all 4 of them: Bryce Point, Inspiration Point, Sunset Point and Sunrise Point.
Stay tuned for next week as we share what we could get done in Bryce Canyon from sunrise to sunset, and, yes, donuts were involved! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

Leila, ever the one to hold family close. I teared a little hearing her concern that her big sister may be leaving the nest some day. You have raised two very caring girls that will go far in life. Corey, I get that the moon ruins the stars but the moon makes some of the best photography in my opinion yet all your pictures are the best.
Took our grandson to Utah last year, We enjoyed all its National Parks, but Brice was our favorite.

Bryce looks absolutely amazing! I’m sorry your stay was ruined with the doggone full moon. 🤣 Those drone shots were on point! Every time we visit a park that we have already been to. We try to stay longer and it never seems to be enough. The longer you stay the more things you find to do. Which is great! Thank you, guys, and safe travels!
We visited Bryce Canyon in the summer of 22, our second time there. We stayed at Ruby’s, which was actually the next best thing to being in the park, but your site was amazing! I’ve been around RV’s for over 50 years, but some of Corey’s comments were well beyond what most vloggers cover! The effort you put into your production really pays off; the colors are beyond incredible!
Thanks for the reminder of why Bryce will always be at the top of our favorites. We didn't get to see a sunrise or sunset, but we will. Next week should be a blast. 18! Dang, 5 years has flown by.

In Canada, we have a Dinosaur Provincial Park. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated a two-hour drive east of Calgary, Alberta, Canada; or 48 kilometres (30 mi), about a half-hour drive northeast of Brooks. It has Hoodoos as well. The park is situated in the Red Deer River valley, which is noted for its striking badland topography, and abundance of dinosaur fossils. The park is well known for being one of the richest dinosaur fossil locales in the world.

Don't you just love Bryce at sunrise?! Takes your breath away. My laptop wallpaper is one of my pictures of Bryce at dawn with amazing clouds. You guys scored one of the best sites! I was directly across from that one when I was there for a few days last year. I live just 1.5 hour drive away. I can't believe you got in for a whole week! So glad you had a great time.
Wish we would have seen you when you were in Bryce. We were there for four months as camp hosts in Sunset camp ground. Loved it and we're going back April thru July.

Beautiful scenery! On my RV I had to put ball valves on the end of my fresh tank overflow hoses. It’s not the biggest tank (48 US Gal). (Good size for a 22.5 foot floor plan) So if I am dry camping or just going a short distance I like to have full tanks. But I would lose almost 1/3 of my water as it sloshed around. Now I arrive with a full tank. Just REMEMBER to open the ball valves when filling! 👍🏻
Wow what a view… You guys ROCK!!!

I love Bryce. Make sure you hit Highway 12 on the way out. It’s to the east of the park and one of my favorite drives. Thanks for another great video!
Just spent three weeks with my wife and RV out in Utah and New Mexico. Went to Bryce Canyon, Red Canyon, and of course Zion National Park. Stayed in Kanab at Grand Plateau RV Park. GreT place to stay if going through there again. Love your videos.
Soooo excited. Great intro to this series of videos. Your spot is awesome and the scenery looks so beautiful. You are an inspiration for us to get going. AND, we going to be doing it, thanks to you all for motivating and sharing your lives with us. See you next week!

Our family flew into Vegas and then rented a car to see Zion, Bryce, and North Rim of Grand Canyon. Bryce was fantastic (as was Zion of course!) but a few of the GC overlook trails were mind bending. So much fun. Dig your videos and your fam.
Wow, the photography! And I am sure there don’t do it justice! Looking forward to next week.
Every time my husband and I watch your videos, we find ourselves commenting that you have the best videography out there. Every place you go ends up on our must see list. Thanks for your beautiful vlogs!
You travel to places I may not be able to visit for quite some time. I’m super excited to see more of Bryce, next week.
We just spend 22 days in the same spot in one of our national parks here in South Africa. We park the RV (or caravan as we call it) in a camp and go out everyday. But I must admit we were getting a bit tired of doing the same thing every day for so long. We did about 2000 miles in the park while we were there.
Beautiful scenery! Thanks y'all!
Love your videos. The wonderful videography always makes me want to visit these places. And even if I don't get to, I kind of do through your vlogs.

You'll love it, the area between Bryce, Zion, and the north rim of the Grand Canyon is probably the most awe inspiring corner of this great nation, the only places of comparable concentrated beauty I can think of are Yellowstone/Tetons and the white mountains of NH.
I love your use of Google Earth it's almost like a drone shot. Can't believe Lil is almost 18. I picked you up at "Camping on the Edge" and they were young kids now their young adults. Can't wait to see how you capture Bryce through the lense.
Love your videos and your family dynamics ❤
No sandals in the canyon. Thank you for showing how you parked the RV. Helpful for others on how to go round corners and not to take out a wall.
Another great one! We plan on going there too!!
Love the all the videos and info y'all give!! Keep up the good work!!

Stunning video and helpful
Another great video! Since I dry camp 90% of the time or more in a 40 foot motorhome I typically travel full of water wherever I can get it. I don’t have the concerns with weight because even full of fuel and water I’m still 2000 pounds under gross. The advantage of having an older diesel pusher. I look forward to your next video as always.

You actually taught me something new about trailers !!
We did Bryce in March, 2022. We were camped in Hurricane, Utah, outside of Zion. Zion was 68° . We went through the tunnel and got to Bryce it was 27° and 30 mph winds with about a foot of snow. We checked out the overlooks but didn't hike. Some brave souls were. They were having a time of it. 1 step forward and slide 3 steps back. We are planning to go back (in warmer weather, lol) so we can really enjoy it.
Just like a little kid on Christmas morning. Can’t wait to see the photos. Safe travels
