    Visiting Valley of Fire State Park? Here’s What You Need to Know

    May 16, 2021

    You've probably seen photos of Valley of Fire State Park on Instagram -- the iconic shot of massive, red rocks on both sides of a windy, two-lane road in the background. We happened to be driving nearby for VanFest USA, and decided that we HAD to stop and see what all of the fuss was about.

IT’S OFFICIALLY BAJA SEASON🇲🇽🌵🌊 Whe IT’S OFFICIALLY BAJA SEASON🇲🇽🌵🌊 When people ask us what our favorite destination on our Great Big Adventure has been, without a doubt or an ounce of hesitation — it’s Baja, Mexico. From the delicious and affordable food to the warm weather, beautiful views and friendly locals, Baja has left an impression on our entire family that we’ll never forget. Before we decided to venture down this incredible stretch of Mexico, I honestly didn’t know much about the area. What would our experience be like? Where would we go? And finally, the question we got the most upon our travel announcement — is it safe? (Spoiler alert: It’s totally safe.) After driving the peninsula nearly 15 times over the past five years, we’ve created a comprehensive, detailed guide that lays out EVERYTHING you need to know about exploring this beautiful part of Mexico, including what to do, where to eat, and where to camp. Over 100 pages of recommendations! Our Baja guide includes: 🧠Things to know before you go ✅Travel prep and packing checklists 🛣Navigating Baja’s roads ⛪️16 towns to explore along the route 🌮 60+ food stand and restaurant recommendations ⛺️ 30+ places to camp ❓Comprehensive FAQ section Interested in learning more? Peep the link in our bio for our guide. 😉 Is Baja on your road-trip bucket list?? ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Designed and built by @NeverSaySomeday, Camp Cerritos is a family-friendly boutique campground nestled between the desert and the sea in Los Cerritos, BCS.

GRATEFUL HEARTS 💖 Yesterday we celebrated acci GRATEFUL HEARTS 💖 Yesterday we celebrated acción de gracias — Thanksgiving — in our tiny little beach town with our friends who are family. I love the Spanish version of Thanksgiving because it’s the literal translation for action, which we saw throughout our beautiful day. Waking up at our gorgeous campground that we built by our own hands this past year. Enjoying coffee and pastries — and card games! — with our fellow campers. Prepping and cooking multiple dishes with love. Celebrating the main event at @travelingtelliers’ amazing home. Watching the kids laugh and play out in the yard at sunset. Witnessing humpback whales swim along the horizon. Sharing our gratitude with one another, having found some incredible people in a foreign country that feels more and more like home everyday. It hasn’t been the easiest year for us, but there has been so much magic in the little moments. Forever grateful for our life! 🙏🏽 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Never Say Someday is an adventure-loving RV family obsessed with making the most out of life before it’s too late.

JUST SAYING… I did it so you don’t have to. 🤣 Since we’ve gotten back to @campcerritos, we’ve been focused on continuously making improvements to our land. We added walking paths from the communal palapa to the restroom and outdoor shower, as well as some prepping our garden area for landscaping (Alexis’ favorite aspect!). 🌵 We’re currently building a pergola on the backside of the palapa for guests to enjoy solitude and hangs in hammocks, and have carved out one dry camping site with another slated to be ready in a couple weeks. 🚐 It’s a labor of love, but you know the saying: Happy wife, happy life! 😉 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Never Say Someday is an adventure-loving RV family obsessed with making the most out of life before it’s too late.

Just a whole lotta dirt and some crazy dreams, we started with a vision of building our dream campground in our favorite place on Earth, Cerritos in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

This past year you helped our family navigate the hardest time of our lives — losing two important people to us — and building a campground in Mexico from the ground up. We love you immensely and can’t wait to see what this next year brings for you. 💕 Happy birthday, my love! #todaysfav 💋 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Never Say Someday is an adventure-loving RV family obsessed with making the most out of life before it’s too late.

🌴SAN IGNACIO, BCS🌴 This small, sleepy colon 🌴SAN IGNACIO, BCS🌴 This small, sleepy colonial town is nestled in a date palm oasis, and is always a welcome stop after a long drive day. This small area is surrounded by beautiful old buildings with pops of color. Immediately you can tell that there’s something different about San Ignacio in comparison to the other Baja towns along the peninsula! When you arrive in the square, you’ll be mesmerized by the charm and beauty of San Ignacio. It’s a quiet, tiny village. There are a few restaurants, shops and taco stands that are fun to try. Additionally, there are some small bakeries that offer date bread and pies. You can secure a whale-watching tour out of here during high season (late January through end of March), and we highly recommend exploring the historical Misión Nuestra Señor San Ignacio de Kadakaamán in the town square. Pro tip: Camp at @paraisomisional, the cutest open space campground with good vibes and a serene atmosphere. Tell them @neversaysomeday sent you! 😉 Want more recommendations for RVing along the Baja peninsula? Check out our 100+ page eGuide.

OUR FIRST STOP IN BAJA 🇲🇽 Yesterday, we cro OUR FIRST STOP IN BAJA 🇲🇽 Yesterday, we crossed into Baja California with our caravan and landed at this beautiful spot: 📍 Pete’s Camp, San Felipe About two hours from the Mexicali border, San Felipe has quickly become the first place we land and kick off our Baja adventures! We found this spot two years ago, and have been coming back ever since. Located right on the Sea of Cortez, Pete’s Camp offers a resort-like vibe with clean, beachfront sites, cement pads, shaded structures and full hookups. It’s pretty pricey compared to other options in Baja at $55USD per night (cash or check only). But it’s a beautiful location and the owners are extremely friendly. And their on-site restaurant cooks up some great food and even better cocktails! Pete’s Camp is a 15-minute drive from the San Felipe malecon, so if you’re looking to be closer to the tacos and the action, we recommend trying Club de Pesca (also big-rig friendly) or La Palapa RV Camp (vans and truck campers only).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEVI!! 🥳 One moment you’re h HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEVI!! 🥳 One moment you’re heading to the hospital to welcome your first-born and the next you’re standing in the kitchen celebrating his 12th birthday… time sure is a thief, but what a blessing to watch our oldest grow into the young man he’s become! Levi, you’re one of a kind and we’re so glad God made you ours. You’re funny, creative and kind. It’s amazing to see you walk into a new crew of kids, gain their respect and take charge of whatever game you’ve imagined. We appreciate how helpful you’ve become over the past year as Mom and Dad have dug into work and our new business. And we will always love your bear hugs! Happy birthday, kiddo. Te quiero to infinity and beyond! 😘🥳🎂🎁 P.S. Don’t ever forget that your Mimi is celebrating you BIG up in heaven, today and always. #todaysfav
WOULD YOU CAMP HERE? 🤩 Welcome to Grass Valley WOULD YOU CAMP HERE? 🤩 Welcome to Grass Valley RV Resort, a gorgeous brand new RV park nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, only an hour from Sacramento, California! #hosted During the tail-end of our Summer road trip, we needed a place to work, homeschool and play near the Wheatland Amphitheater, where we had tickets to see Imagine Dragons. We fell in love with this awesome RV park, and here’s why: 👩🏼‍💼 The owners and staff are some of the nicest people we’ve met while camping! Not only were they easy to work with and thoughtful, multiple people checked on us during our stay. 🔌 Full hookups at every site! 👩🏽‍💻 Guests at this family-friendly gem can enjoy the beautiful 4500sqft lodge, which offers plenty of space for homeschoolers and digital nomads like us. They also offer high-speed WiFi for guests too. Soon they’ll have a camp store with beer and wine. 🧺 There are laundry, bathrooms and the cleanest showers ever on site. 🏓 There are three pickle ball courts with all the gear you need at the front desk. We tried playing for the first time, and while we could use some more practice, we had a blast! GVRV also has bocce ball and horse shoes too. 🐶 Our pup Frankie loved the spacious dog park and wash station. 💦 The real highlight for our family was the heated swimming pool and hot tub! The boys spent hours here wearing themselves out while I took in a good book. 🎫 The resort has something for everyone, AND it’s only 45 minutes from the Wheatland Amphitheater, where we took the boys for their first concert. It was such a convenient place to stay, and we’ll always book a spot here for our next live show! 💩 There’s a dump station available, along with propane refills.

15 YEARS 🥂🥹 Happy anniversary to the love o 15 YEARS 🥂🥹 Happy anniversary to the love of my life! It’s hard to put into words all of the feelings that come with a milestone like this (especially after a few celebratory cocktails, haha) — but I am SO grateful that God brought you to me, and me to you. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think we’d be here, making our own rules and chasing our unconventional dreams, but knowing you and I, I shouldn’t be surprised. 😏 I love you more than you’ll ever know, more than I could ever express. You’re my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my voice of reason (even when I don’t want to be reasonable) and the BEST Dad to our two boys. Thank you for being you. Here’s to a lifetime more of adventures, celebration and saying ¿porque no? to living life to the fullest. I love you! 😘😘😘😘 #TeamUs

TWO WORDS: GRIZZLY ATTACK🫣 One area of Yellows TWO WORDS: GRIZZLY ATTACK🫣 One area of Yellowstone that we love to explore is Lamar Valley, located on the Northeast border of the park. We’ve always camped just outside Cooke City, MT, known as one of the coolest small towns in America. The camping here is idyllic — quiet and peaceful, set against a stunning backdrop of forest and mountains, with easy access to the Beartooth Scenic Highway. After we left this spot and shared it to our stories, a fellow colleague and camping lover asked if I had heard the podcast that covered a bear attack there. No, we hadn’t — so she sent me the link to give it a listen. Come to find out — thankfully after we were long gone from this spot — a horrific grizzly attack had taken place here in 2010. 😳 A mama grizzly and her three yearlings attacked three separate tents at the campground one night, leaving two people were injured and a man killed (and consumed 😵). The spot where the last attack — the man who tragically died — occurred none other than in the campsite across from where we posted up. 😱😱😱 Now, the campground no longer allows tent camping, and there are signs at each site warning of grizzly bears… but we had stayed three blissfully unaware days at this spot without a clue in the world. (For that in which I am not sure to be grateful or horrified over!) Would we come back and camp here again knowing this now? Totally. But with a lot more awareness and bear spray accessible! What do you think? Would you camp here knowing the history of this tragic incident? 🐻 ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Never Say Someday is an adventure-loving RV family obsessed with making the most out of life before it’s too late.
