Our spontaneous camping trip to Driftwood Provincial Park was supposed to be a relaxing weekend getaway. Instead, we battled chipmunks, discovered a suspicious Blackstone smell, encountered a campground ninja, and nearly ran out of toilet paper.
Our first family RV camping trip of 2026 had everything: hiking trails, campfire cooking, surprise ticks, a tech-starved teenager, and plenty of camping chaos. Read the hilarious story of our season opener in the great outdoors.
Checkers is a fierce guard dog at home, but campground geese and deer clearly didn’t get the memo. A funny tale of camping with a canine bluff master.
Every summer, Canadians perform a sacred ritual: liberating Grandma from her apartment habitat and releasing her, gently, into the wilderness. What follows involves temperature negotiations, snack diplomacy, a sugar-fuelled seven-year-old, and a dog with absolutely no moral compass around unattended hot dogs. If you’re planning a multigenerational RV camping trip this summer, consider this your survival guide — because this isn’t a vacation. This is a peace treaty.
Stop cooking yourself to stay fed! Summer RV life is all about freedom, the open road, and the constant battle against an interior that feels like a pre-heated oven. When the mercury rises, the last thing you need is a propane stove turning your galley into a sweat lodge. Discover the “Rule of Zero-Heat” and learn how to master the ultimate RV-friendly meal: The Easy Bean Salad. Whether you’re a gourmet traveler or a “Bachelor Style” minimalist eating straight from the can, these no-cook recipes will keep you cool, full, and far away from the kitchen sink.

When our peaceful morning coffee turned into a full-blown turf war between Checkers and a band of highly organized squirrels, our campground became the scene of canine heroics, nutty retaliation, and one very airborne cup of coffee. Grab your mug and laugh along as we relive Checkers vs. The Squirrel Mafia — a camping adventure where no pinecone was safe.
Every fall, as the air turns crisp and the trees shed their last leaves, I face the annual ritual of winterizing our trailer—a process that somehow never goes smoothly. What should be a quick checklist turns into a comedy of errors featuring fossilized food, rebellious Pyrex, and antifreeze geysers. My wife Meg and son Dylan serve as my ever-watchful supervisors, offering equal parts assistance and sarcasm. But despite the chaos, there’s something oddly comforting about it. It’s a signal that camping season may be ending, but new adventures are waiting just around the thaw. From misplaced valves to glass explosions, “Winterization Woes” proves one thing: even the best-laid plans make the best campfire stories.
