Bonus books: Parks, parents' dreams and the ice cream truck
Want to plan a trip to a national park? A sweet bedtime board book? We've got you cover-to-covered.
“Where Should We Camp Next? National Parks” by Stephanie and Jeremy Puglisi (Sourcebooks)
National Park Foundation 2024 Planner and Wall Calendar (Sourcebooks)
From the authors of “The RV Atlas,” this guide helps families find campgrounds inside and outside of national parks, seashores, monuments and more. Each location highlights the “need to know” information to plan your trip, along with advice beyond the campsite, such as things to do, sample itineraries, what to know before you go and much more.
With beautiful scenery from across the parks of the United States, this planner will have you dreaming of vacations to come. It is also a solid planner on its own, with weekly layouts and a monthly glance – plus stickers! A wall calendar is also available, supporting the work of the foundation to preserve some of the best spots in the country.
