Visit Yosemite this Spring
Springtime in Yosemite is a favorite among National Park fanatics, and for good reason. Thawing snow fills the streams that feed into the dramatic waterfalls that lands Yosemite in the top spot for most waterfalls in a National Park. Plants and wildflowers begin sprouting, and dogwood trees start to bloom in beautiful displays of shades of green. All that's missing is the perfect campsite.

Just miles from Yosemite National Park and the state's largest public cavern, Moaning Cavern, Yosemite Lakes RV Resort is the perfect place to camp this spring. Set on a 400-acre preserve with the South Fork of the Tuolumne River running through the property, Yosemite Lakes is ideal for swimming, fishing, and panning for gold. Bring your RV, or stay in one of their unique accommodations for a truly memorable camping experience!

Featured Recipe
by Fresh Off the Grid
Banana boats are an easy and decadent desert to enjoy around the campfire. Just split a banana in half, load it with your favorite sweet toppings, wrap it in tinfoil, and place it near the fire or on a grill. Fresh Off the Grid has nine topping ideas if you need some inspiration, including classic s'mores, dulce de leche, honey ginger, and of course, banana split.
Featured Gear
With no battery or electricity needed, the Minipresso saves space when packing coffee supplies, and saves time brewing coffee. Simply use the included scoop to add your preferred coffee grounds to the filter, fill the water tank to the line with hot water, and pump the Minipresso to extract the espresso. When you're not sipping espresso on the go, you can even bring the Minipresso to work!
