Quick & Satisfying Camp Meals
We love to cook but we prefer to spend most of our time playing when camping in our van. We have several go-to meals that require very little prep and can be cooked in one pan to make cleaning up a breeze.
Multi-Sport Adventure Weekend: Stanley Lake, Idaho
Just a few hours from Boise, Stanley Lake is the perfect family or group camping spot. Fishing, boating, hiking, and mountain biking. All in one beautiful setting with several boondocking as well as reservable campsites. Plus the convenience of being only a 15 minute drive to the charming mountain town of Stanley, Idaho, for supplies and ice cream.
Pros & Cons of Downsizing to a Van
Van life isn’t anything new… From the flower power VW buses of the 60s to the Westfalias of the 80s, and now the Class B RV, van life has been around for quite some time. And there are many reasons why people make the choice to downsize to a van.
How to enjoy traveling with friends & family
One of our favorite parts of travel at Adventure Life Vans is sharing it with others. Traveling with those we love gives us the opportunity to understand them better and learn more about the world together. It creates lasting memories, shared experiences and new ways to deepen relationships.
The Value that Van Life Creates
Like many families, we started our camping adventures with tent camping. This quickly progressed to buying a small pop-up tent camper that we could tow behind our truck. That worked well with younger kids to keep everyone warm at night with little setup. But soon we progressed to a Class C motorhome as the kids got older.
Crowd-Pleasing Camping Meals
Looking for convenient and crowd-pleasing camping meals?
Cooking in a van, an RV or over a campfire requires some creativity in terms of space and ingredients. We like to pick items we can easily make ahead and reheat or that don’t require dirtying a lot of dishes. Because, who wants to spend their weekend away doing housework?
