National Forest Camping – I’m a fulltime RVer and I frequently set up my camp on National Forest lands.

TRANSCRIPT:
Hi, my name is Curtis with The Fun Times Guide. Today I’m going to give you a little bit of a tour of what it is like to go camping on National Forest lands.
Sometimes you are in heavily woods and sometimes you are in more open plain like areas. Today, I am camped about 50 miles south of the Grand Canyon in an open area that is quite popular for camping.
Some National Forest campsites are quite open and spacious. This one I am encamped in currently is large enough to handle probably a half a dozen RVs. Most campsites have a stone fire ring — though this one is much larger than usual. And as you can see across the way, there is a group of 5 or 6 rigs camping together at another large open campsite.
This is a typical National Forest camping area. You see there is plenty of open space. Campers can group together, if they wish. Or if there is more open area (or more secluded area), they have the option to be by themselves if they wish.
If I look down this way… that is my campsite nestled in amongst some trees. And I am quite nicely camped by myself.
It amazes me how much wildlife is out here in the National Forest. As long as you have the time to quietly sit back and watch, all kinds of different creatures will surprise you.
The following clips were taken while I was camped close to Flagstaff. And as you can see, it is astonishing the quantity of wildlife that is out here!
There are elk everywhere out here this morning.
There must be at least 50 of them. I imagine they are gathering looking for new ground to get away from the forest fire.

I’ve been involved in RVing for over 50 years — including camping, building, repairing, and even selling RVs and motorhomes. I’ve owned, used, and repaired almost every class and style of RV ever made. I do all of my own repair work. My other interests include cooking, living with an aging dog, and dealing with diabetic issues. If you can combine a grease monkey with a computer geek, throw in a touch of information nut and organization freak, combined with a little bit of storyteller… you’ve got a good idea of who I am. To date, I’ve shared my RV knowledge in over 300 articles here at The Fun Times Guide! Many of them have over 25K shares.
