2026 News

If you have been following our site, you know that we sold our pop-up in the spring of 2024. As much as said never over the years we bought a travel trailer. It's a 2017 Forest River Grey Wolf 24RK. With a dining room slide out I don't feel so claustophobic. 
Last summer we only camped in one campground, the same one our daughter has a seasonal site at. We logged 112 days there last summer, although there were the few nights we'd come home to do laundy, mow the grass, and get mail. It's only a 45 minute drive from home to camp.
Here's pictures of the trailer here

Happy Camping!

We're still plugging that Pop Up Times Magazine is back online. Not a busy site but there is so much information on pop-ups there from folks who have fixed this, repaired that and done it long ago. 

Welcome to our website
We have owned our 1994 Dutchmen 1002XS since it was brand new. Over the years we have made many memories, traveled to many places and learned a lot about camping in a pop up camper. So we decided it was time to share some of our experiences with the rest of the world.
Our camping history goes way back to childhood when Donna camped with her parents in various types of campers. Tim began camping with the scouts and then with an aunt. We tent camped while we were dating, but there's a story from one night that maybe shouldn't be repeated. Oh heck, check the Stories page to see what happened on our first camping trip.
We bought our pop up when our two youngest were just 6 and 4 years old. We wanted to introduce the kids to camping, and knew a tent wouldn't cut it anymore. Now we camp with them and our grandchildren.
So feel free to look around our website. We have some funny stories, pictures from places we've visited, some repairs and mods done over the years and much more. I'll keep adding to the site as new repairs or mods are tackled and we visit different campgrounds.
Happy Camping!
Tim & Donna
