The adorable lakefront cabins at True North Basecamp offer an experience akin to glamping. Located in Crosby, Minnesota, the six onsite cabins come with several amenities while still offering a camping feel, which creates the perfect combination of comfort and nature. We were in desperate need...
We loved Banff National Park so much that we ended up visiting twice in one summer. The first trip was for a video project, and the second visit was a getaway with a couple of friends. Both trips consisted of us spending a few nights...
It doesn’t get much better than staying in a quiet lakeside cabin. Growing up in Otter Tail County, a county that has more lakes than any other county in the United States, meant that we both spent a large portion of our childhood hanging out...
Would you expect to find a desert like landscape in Manitoba, Canada? We certainly weren’t expecting it, but that’s exactly what we found in Spruce Woods Provincial Park! To close out our road trip through Manitoba, we made our way to a provincial park. We had...
Riding Mountain National Park is located in the southwestern region of Manitoba, about 3.5 hours northwest from Winnipeg. The landscapes and scenery in Manitoba are pretty similar to where we grew up just a few hours south in Minnesota, but since this was our first...
The first five days of our Happy Campers road trip around Iceland saw us making our way through the Westfjords and up into the northern part of the island. While there were a few long driving days, we still packed in quite a few adventures,...

After a full day of driving, we pulled into a campground just before sunset. We were on an adventure to go camping at Glacier National Park in Montana, and we couldn't wait for the fun to begin. The Sprague Creek campsite in Glacier National Park...
When we travel, more often than not, we use hotel points to book free hotel stays. Some of these hotels can be very unique, funky or luxurious such as the The Mayfair in London or the “King’s Suite” at the Comfort Hotel Grand Central in...
We were picturing white fluffy snow, hats and mittens, toasty wood burning stoves and hot, steaming coffee. Instead, we were met with an early spring and temperatures that reached almost 70ºF. We definitely weren’t complaining, though—an early spring is always a welcome treat in Minnesota. You...
Upstate New York was never really on our radar prior to a couple of years ago, and it wasn’t until last year on our mega road trip that we finally had some time to dip our toes into exploring the region. We made our way...
