Welcome to Two Humans, Two Dogs Camping

Loving life—and our camper—one adventure and upgrade at a time.

Welcome to 2 Humans, 2 Dogs Camping! Our journey began in 2021 when we traded in our tent for our very first camper. By 2022, we leveled up to “TC 2.0”—a roomier rig built for longer, more comfortable escapes into the wild. It also gives us more space for our pups, Jasper and Luke.

We’re passionate about camping, customizing our setup, and making memories with our two four-legged co-pilots. This blog is where we share the highs, the hiccups, and the hacks that make each trip better than the last.

Whether you're a fellow camper, a curious traveler, or just love a good road story, we’re glad you’re here. So buckle up, dive in, and enjoy the ride with us!

This campground is a hidden gem with amazing sites! Each site is spaciously laid out, and the full hookup sites are incredibly well-designed. It's a wonderfully peaceful campsite, with full hookups conveniently located near the entrance

2025 Camping in Review

We've been absent from this blog for some time and need to catch up, so we'll begin by updating you on our camping experiences first... Camping in 2025 was absolutely amazing, with exciting new sites and even a fresh reason to hit the great outdoors! As we began planning our camping adventures for the year, my wife was also gearing up for her triathlons. This led us to explore brand-new areas we hadn't camped in before, introducing us to fantastic new campgrounds. In the next

Miss Us?

We’re Back! 🌲🔥 Whew… things got a little hectic for a while, and we had to hit pause and take a breather. But guess what? We’re back! And we’ve missed you. We hope life has treated you well during our little break—and that you’ve been out there making memories, soaking up sunsets, and maybe even sneaking in a few s’mores. Sometimes life throws curveballs, and you just need to slow down, reset, and breathe. That’s exactly what we did. But we didn’t stop adventuring—we spent

The Apps We Use and Why

UPDATED: 10/15/2025 We’ve been camping for a while now—not the RV park kind of camping, mind you. KOAs and full-service RV resorts have their place, but they’re just not our vibe. We prefer the quiet corners, the off-grid spots, and the kind of places where you can just chill, go for a hike, or sit around and read a book. As a self-proclaimed techie, I love efficiency, planning, and—yes—apps. Whether it’s finding a hidden gem of a campsite or streamlining our setup, the right
