SWW to Manor RV Park
Finding a RV site in Estes can be challenging and frankly expensive. We like Manor RV Park because it can accommodate rigs over 20-25 ft, is fairly close to downtown Estes Park and RMNP, and is fairly budget friendly. We have stayed at other campgrounds in the Estes Park area that have had a lot toContinue reading “SWW to Manor RV Park”
SWW Stuff: Trailer Tires
After the OEM tires wore out after 8,000 miles, I installed Goodyear Endurance ST225/75R15 Load E rated tires on the travel trailer. After the OEM tires wore very quickly, especially the right rear tire, I wanted a tire with a higher load rating (2830 lbs max load per tire) to try and get more mileage outContinue reading “SWW Stuff: Trailer Tires”
SWW to Mueller State Park
Mueller State Park holds a very special place in our hearts. While we had a hard time getting out for an end of the season trip over Columbus Day weekend, it was worth it. Mueller State Park transported us to an enchanted place. When we arrived night had fallen and the clouds had settled intoContinue reading “SWW to Mueller State Park”
SWW to Ridgeway State Park
Ridgeway State Park has become one of our favorite destinations in Colorado. The park itself is very peaceful with hiking trails around the Uncompahgre River and large camp site spaces. While this region of Colorado is more arid, the geology of the box canyon and nearby San Juan mountains is spectacular. While the park isContinue reading “SWW to Ridgeway State Park”

State Forest State Park is Colorado mountain camping. Even the drive through Poudre Canyon Road getting to the park provided spectacular mountain views.Continue reading “SWW to State Forest State Park”
SWW To Mountaindale Cabins & RV Resort
Mountaindale Cabins & RV Resort is a nice private campground just outside of Colorado Springs. The sites are filled in with a very beautiful red and pink stone. Our site sat on a slight uprise. The campfire pit was down the rise and against a stone wall making for a unique an enjoyable experience. WeContinue reading “SWW To Mountaindale Cabins & RV Resort”
SWW Stuff: Generator
We chose the Ryobi RYi2200, 2200 W generator (Current model is now the 2300 W) to support boondocking in our trailer. This decision was heavily influenced by @sowewentuncle who had been looking at generators for his truck camper. From his research he concluded the Ryobi was just about as good as the Honda at three-quartersContinue reading “SWW Stuff: Generator”
SWW To Cheyenne Mountain State Park
Cheyenne Mountain State Park is one of our favorite parks, especially for the spring and fall when SoWeWentKids are still in school. It is close enough we can get there after school on a Friday, but far enough to feel like we went somewhere. This campground is almost always on our summer schedule. At theContinue reading “SWW To Cheyenne Mountain State Park”
