By

If you’re thinking about camping with your kids, you should definitely consider camping on a farm. And while you are at it, add Vermont to the top of your list. The evolution of the sharing economy has now reached a level of creative genius that we tip our hat to, without dumping half our bank account.  What started with renting otherwise free afternoons to TaskRabbit or leasing spare bedrooms on Airbnb has now evolved into “Go ahead and pitch your tent on that little corner of my farm.”  

Read along for an overview of how we got into this stroke of genius. And more importantly, how to find a campsite near you. Whether you’re in Vermont as we were or not, we have our top tips and activities to pair with all of the fun you’ll have on the farm.

By

Arches National Park is one of the “mighty five” national parks in Utah along with Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Capitol Reef, and nearby Canyonlands.  The park boasts supernatural rock formations and stunning landscapes, including the famous delicate arch that can be seen on every Utah license plate.  Our kid-friendly guide to Arches National Park delivers the essentials you need to make the most of your trip.

The park is massive with plenty to offer, so having a plan with the kids is helpful.  On our first five day trip to Moab, we planned to visit Arches, Canyonlands, and Dead Horse State Park, but were so impressed with Arches that we never left.  This was a easy for us since we live a few hours away, but this guide should help narrow down the highlights.
