Honest, on-location reviews of campgrounds, parks, and gear from a family exploring Iowa and the Midwest. Real trips, real opinions, whether it's sponsored or not.
I create honest, on-location video and written reviews of campgrounds, parks, and outdoor gear for a family audience across Iowa and the Midwest. Sponsored coverage gets you a full feature, and the opinion stays real, which is exactly why people trust it.
A full feature filmed on site and published to YouTube, plus short-form cutdowns.
An SEO-friendly Trail Notes writeup that keeps working for you long after the video.
Posts across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook to put you in front of campers.
Real write-ups of the parks and gear I've covered. This is the feature your spot would receive.
One of the first upgrades I wanted was a real TV. Not a tiny screen or a tablet on the wall. A 32-inch TV on a swivel mount that works from anywhere in the trailer.

We pulled the Coleman 17B into Fontana Park on a quiet weekend and came away genuinely impressed. Buchanan County does not get talked about enough as a camping destination.
Read the write-up →I'm a dad in Iowa who films the camping, fishing, and DIY projects our family actually does. It started with a 2025 Coleman 17B, a 1961 Sea King aluminum boat, a lot of questions, and a camera.
People follow because the take is always honest. That's the whole value: when I cover a park or a product, sponsored or not, the review is real.
Upgrades, trip reports, and honest notes on living with the 17B.
Bringing a 1961 aluminum boat and its outboard back to the water.
Every product I link is something we've run on real trips. When it holds up, it makes the list. When it doesn't, it doesn't.
One email when there's a new video or trip report, plus the occasional gear find. No spam, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
A campground, park, or brand you want featured? Tell me about it and I'll put together honest coverage.
