Your intentional guide to outdoor stays

The Campsite Guide is a resource for travelers looking to explore and enjoy the outdoors. It provides practical advice, detailed reviews, and inspiring itineraries to help readers plan and enjoy their adventures.

If tents are a little too uncomfortable, but most RVs are too big, then our style of van camping (with occasional cabin stays) offers the perfect balance.

About us

We're Dawn and James, the adventurers and intentional travelers behind The Campsite Guide. Dawn is a retired professor; James is a software engineer on sabbatical. We’ve set out on a period of adventure in hopes of finding what comes next. Our journey is all about discovering new places and embracing comfortable adventures, often with an eye toward financial independence.

On our main platform, The Dawnatella Edit, Dawn shares broader reflections and experiences with intentional travel and life on the road. The Campsite Guide is our dedicated space to help you make the most of your outdoor stays.

Happy exploring!
