AI Trip Planning for Campers

Planning a camping trip can feel like juggling maps, campground reservations, apps, and about 27 open browser tabs… but what if you had one tool that could help you organize it all in minutes?


In this episode of the Girl Camper Podcast, Lesa sits down with returning guest Jen Grover to talk about how they’re both using AI to plan real-life camping trips—without losing the joy of the journey.


Jen shares how she used AI to plan her road trip from Pennsylvania to Colorado, including how she customized her route, factored in campground preferences, and even got suggestions that improved fuel efficiency. Then Lesa walks through how she’s using AI right now to plan her trip from South Dakota to Camp Margaritaville in Texas for the Girl Camper Camporee—complete with route adjustments, fun stops, and tools like The Dyrt and RV Overnights to finalize her plans.


You’ll learn how to:

  • Use AI to create an RV-friendly route tailored to your travel style
  • Write better prompts to get more useful results
  • Combine AI with trusted camping tools like The Dyrt and RV Overnights
  • Find fuel stops, roadside attractions, and even dog-friendly stops along the way
  • Avoid common mistakes and verify important details like campground conditions and weather

Whether you’re a brand-new camper or a seasoned road tripper, AI can help simplify the planning process—so you can spend less time researching and more time enjoying the adventure.

And remember… you don’t have to use it perfectly. Just start. ????✨
