On today's episode of The RV Atlas we are heading west for a review of four amazing campgrounds in the Pacific Northwest that you are going to want to add to your bucket list!  The Pacific Northwest is my favorite geographical region of our country and the entire RV Atlas crew cannot wait to get back some day soon.

Four years ago our family took an epic camping trip to the Pacific Northwest and spend 26 days doing a huge loop from Seatlle to Olympic National Park, to Mount St Helens to Coastal Oregon to the Redwoods, back into Oregon for Crater Lake and Odell Lake and then back to Seattle---it was such an amazing trip--my favorite trip ever. 

I’ve been dying to get back ever since--my wanderlust for the Pacific NORTHWEST IS VERY VERY STRONG.

So on today’s episode we are heading back to the Pacific Northwest with our terrific first time guests Kendra and Tyler from CAMPSPOT. Kendra and Tyler (and their two cats, Sunny and Luna) travel full time in their AIRSTREAM creating content for Campspot. They do photography, video, writing, camp cooking content and so much more and their visual style and killer photo and video chops can be seen all over Campspot's website.

Kendra and Tyler have travelled all over the country and we had a lot of cool options for podcast episodes--but of course I asked them to do an episode about campgrounds in the Pacific Northwest---during the interview I meant to say that I felt like a kid in a candy shop talking to them about podcast ideas--but instead I said I felt like a kid in a candybox.

What the heck is a candy box? I don’t know--but it doesnt sound like it holds a lot of candy! 

So just so you know--I meant a CANDY SHOP! Because Kendra and Tyler have been everywhere! And I hope to have them back on the show to cover more great campgrounds in other parts of the country.

So let's dive in and get four great recommendations for campgrounds in the Pacific Northwest from Kendra and Tyler. And huge thanks to Tyler for the amazing photos in this blog post!
