Whether you’re pulling into a quiet campsite under a blanket of stars or parking your RV next to a jaw-dropping overlook, road trip camping is one of the best ways to combine travel, nature, and freedom. Take it from the family who ventured on a 10,000+ mile cross-country 6-week roadtrip over the summer with our two kids and two dogs in tow. After countless miles and a fair share of “oops, forgot that” moments, I’ve put together the ultimate road trip camping packing list, plus a few RV tips to make life on the road smoother, cozier, and a little more magical.

Sleeping in a cave hotel in Cappadocia has always been on my travel bucket list, but I never imagined it could be this luxurious. During our 11-day trip to Turkey, we had the unforgettable experience of staying at Millstone Cave Suites in Uçhisar, where ancient stone walls meet modern comfort and panoramic views of Cappadocia’s magical landscapes. From sunrise hot air balloons to cozy nights surrounded by natural rock, this was a stay we’ll never forget. If you’re planning a trip to Cappadocia and wondering whether a cave hotel is worth it (spoiler alert!) it absolutely is.
