"Pleasant Desert Camping in Spring"
This is a very pretty, but popular, state park. The views in the campground are top notch with Pusch Ridge of the Santa Catalina Mountains always right outside your door. We were lucky to score a weekend cancellation because this park books up...

"Perfect Base between St. George and Zion"
For a man-made lake, this place is pretty cool. I think it's very popular with the OHV crowds, especially in the summer, but there were tons of sites open and we hardly had any neighbors. It was super cold out this time of year, so maybe that's...

"A Delightful Surprise!"
We had lots of plans for our winter trip, but the weather and government (shutdown) are apparently two things you can never count on. Though the weather was unseasonably cold and we weren't sure what conditions awaited us at this first come,...

"Even Better Than Last Time"
We stayed here for another "fall" weekend during a high school mountain bike race. It's still in the mid-high 80s during the day and the mid 60s at night, but the scenery that surrounds this campground is overwhelmingly beautiful.
Plus,...

"Oasis Far from the Crowds"
It seems like Lo Lo Mai is situated in its own little bubble. It's close to Oak Creek and Sedona, but far from the crowds and busy streets. I've heard a lot of great things about this campground, so I was excited to score two nights during a very...

"Better Options in Area"
My son and I camped here with his Boy Scout troop. It was a disaster of a trip, mostly due to rainy weather but I'm not letting that affect my review.
Sinkhole Campground is just ok. The pro is that it's in a forested area with tons of...

"Beautiful in Good Weather"
We stopped at Snow Canyon to split up our trip home. It's beautiful and reminded us of Kodachrome Basin, but St. George is HOT in late June. Phoenicians can take the heat, but we absolutely do no want it on vacation! We planned to stay for two...

"Near Perfection"
Though extremely unlevel, the positive atmosphere here makes up for it in every way. It's a small campground with only eleven sites, but it's nearly impossible to see a neighbor. The trees and bushes are thick and high, and you feel like you're in...

My Little Batch of Sky: Visit to Bryce Canyon
I didn't realize I hadn't shared our Bryce Canyon photos here. We went in July, and I guess you can say that this fall has been pretty busy. So here they are. Finally. It's fun to relive a vacation!...
My Little Batch of Sky: Pretty Place with an Earworm
We spent five nights in Kodachrome Basin State Park in southwestern Utah last week. It's filled with beautiful colors, so many that with the consent of the Kodak Company, they named the park after its...
My Little Batch of Sky: On the Rocks
We spent a lovely weekend in Prescott, Arizona. I made the reservations a few weeks ago at Point of Rocks campground because we wanted to get away for the three-day weekend and the mountain bikin...
My Little Batch of Sky: Escaping the Heat
Who knew we'd have to escape the valley heat in March? It's spring break around here, and we had planned to visit Joshua Tree National Park again since we liked it so much last year. However, the weat...
My Little Batch of Sky: Our Second Vacation
This last trip was two trips in one, really. After our fun day at Universal Studios, we headed southwest to the beach. Crystal Cove State Park to be exact. And it was glorious! We arrived to a bea...
My Little Batch of Sky: Our Visit to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
We surprised the kids with a trip to California for Christmas. After they opened their gifts on Christmas morning, they found an envelope stuffed into the tree. They were very excited to learn that we...
My Little Batch of Sky: Time to Get Away
Although it was planned for a while, we had to get away last weekend. It was the perfect time to turn off the news, Facebook, and our phones and go live in the desert for a few days. We visited Sagu...
My Little Batch of Sky: Visit to Page
Even though our trip to Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef didn't work out this fall break, Brian managed to swindle his boss into letting him take a Friday and Monday so that we could get away for a long...
My Little Batch of Sky: A Grand Weekend
Over this Labor Day weekend, we visited Grand Canyon. It's been on our list of places to visit because it seems like sacrilege to live in Arizona and never take your kids to see the Grand Canyon. Bri...
My Little Batch of Sky: To the Mountains
When Phoenicians go to the mountains, we usually head north towards Payson or Flagstaff or Sedona. However, when Matthew's cub scout pack hosted a family campout in the other direction, we thought we'...
My Little Batch of Sky: Camp Impromptu
As soon as we returned from our big California camping trip, I thought we needed to go out one last time before the end of summer. Since the kids go back to school next Monday (I know. I know. We are...
My Little Batch of Sky: Yosemite National Park
While I was planning this trip, I knew we'd be able to spend about four days maximum at a place without hook-ups. I mean comfortably. We might be able to go longer, but we'd be worried about it. Anyw...
My Little Batch of Sky: Sequoia National Park
After a quick breakfast on Monday morning, we headed south into Sequoia National Park. On the way to our first stop, the Lodgepole Visitors Center, we smelled the smoke from some prescribed burns. Th...
My Little Batch of Sky: Kings Canyon National Park
Early on Saturday morning, we left Phoenix for a stopover in Bakersfield, California. Though not a popular summer vacation destination, we found an RV park with full hook-ups at a reasonable price to...
My Little Batch of Sky: Land of the Wild Turkey
That's where we spent our long weekend, although the National Monument is technically called Chiricahua. We went with another family we met through Cub Scouts, and we had a fun time together. The weat...
My Little Batch of Sky: Living the Dream
We bought the Airstream with the intention to take advantage of "America's Best Idea" and visit as many national parks as we can. Six months into ownership, after a few upgrades, repairs, and trips to...
My Little Batch of Sky: Kartchner Caverns Trip
Last weekend, my parents went with us on a camping trip to Kartchner Caverns State Park. It's a little south of Tucson in Benson, Arizona. Though we have no photos of our tour through the cave because...
My Little Batch of Sky: Sedona Weekend
A birthday and red rocks and meteor/missiles, oh my! We ventured out in the Airstream again this weekend. Though it was only our second time, we took company! Brian's mom joined us on a trip to Se...
My Little Batch of Sky: Happy New Year
...from our tin can down by the lake. We spent the last three days of 2015 in Lake Havasu, and we came home today. Though not a bucket list destination for us, Brian wanted to try out a trail befo...
My Little Batch of Sky: Into the Great Wide Open
We camped at a campground about thirty-five miles east of Payson and above the Mogollon Rim. The weather was very cool and a welcome change from Phoenix's oppressive heat. The first thing we did bef...
