Hidden Gems & Campground Stories: Exploring Spacious Skies Across the East

If you’re planning your next road trip, this episode is full of inspiration.


Lesa sits down with Ali Rasmussen from Spacious Skies Campgrounds to talk about what really makes a campground memorable and how the right stop can shape your entire travel experience. From meaningful connections around the campfire to those quiet moments under the stars, this conversation is all about why we love camping in the first place.


You’ll also hear about three unique campground destinations to add to your list:

Hidden Creek (NC) – recently refreshed and tucked into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains

Peach Haven (SC) – a convenient and welcoming stop for travelers along a major East Coast corridor

Adirondack Peaks (NY) – a beautiful basecamp for exploring upstate New York and the Adirondacks


Along the way, we share stories from the campground, talk about solo camping as a woman, and explore how friendships are often made just a few steps from your campsite.


This episode is sponsored by Spacious Skies Campgrounds, a collection of unique campgrounds across the eastern U.S. designed to help you slow down, connect, and enjoy the outdoors.
