travel back in time at Old Sturbridge Village, there are endless
possibilities for a vacation to remember. Please accept my best
wishes for a great stay in the Commonwealth’s campgrounds.

10 Tips for Campfire Safety
Campfires are a staple for camping trips so follow
these tips to ensure that your favorite camping
tradition is both fun and safe!
1. Use only the designated rings or pits on gravel
or dirt, never grass.
2. Clear the area of any dry leaves and sticks and
make sure that tents, campers, and other items
are placed at a good distance from the fire.
3. Check the weather forecast. Even a small
amount of wind can blow burning debris or
sparks.
4. Don’t bring firewood from another area.
5. NEVER leave the fire unattended.
6. NEVER USE FLAMMABLE LIQUID TO IGNITE
YOUR FIRE!
7. Keep your campfire small and contained.
8.
Never allow children or pets to play or stand
close to the fire.
9.
Keep a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher
nearby.
10. Be sure to extinguish the fire completely.

3 Secret RV Kitchen Tips + Recipes
Evanne Schmarder, RVCookingShow.com
Enjoying quality time together, making memories that last a lifetime, and sharing special
experiences are what camping trips are made of. Preparing and sharing simple and
delicious meals is a big part of that equation. With a little bit of planning, a few tools
of the (camp kitchen) trade, and some basic know-how, you can serve dishes that
are simple yet remarkable.
Secret RV Kitchen Tip 1 + Marinade Recipe
Consider a delightful dinner featuring garlic-marinated shrimp on
skewers, flavorful chicken kabobs, or a tender pork lion, cooked to
perfection on the grill. In my RV kitchen, the secret to making these
dishes stand out is marinating the meat or seafood in a zip top bag
overnight, mixing and matching spices and liquids with my main dish. Whip
up this favorite RV Cooking Show marinade in a large zip top bag, mix well and
add meat or seafood: 3 tablespoons each of dry jerk seasoning and canola oil, 2
tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar.
Secret RV Kitchen Tip 2 + Spicy Condiment Recipe
What goes better with perfectly grilled burgers than crisp hot fries? This secret RV kitchen tip will have you
rethinking the drive-thru and craving fresh fries from your grill. Make it happen by cooking regular or sweet
potatoes in the microwave or in boiling water until soft but not cooked through (you can do this at home). Cut
them into wedges, brush with either olive or canola oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh chopped herbs and
grill on all sides until cooked to perfection. Serve them with a spicy dip of mayo, Sriracha Hot Sauce, and a small
squeeze of lemon. Trust me, they’ll be a hit!
Secret RV Kitchen Tip 3 + Yankee Pot Roast Recipe
Want to serve a meal that tastes like you were in the kitchen all day but you know better? Then pack my old RV
kitchen workhorse, the crockpot, with your camping gear. One of my most productive secret RV kitchen tips, do a
little front-end work at the start of the day and you’ll be richly rewarded when it’s time to get dinner on the picnic
table.
Always a winner and an easy one-dish dinner, may I interest you in Crockpot Yankee Pot Roast? While there
are endless variations on the recipe, I offer this basic recipe that you can customize to your liking. In a crockpot
combine:
3 pound chuck roast
6-8 sprigs of fresh thyme
3 onions, sliced
1-15 oz can of crushed tomatoes
6-8 carrots, roughly chopped
1 cup of dry red wine
3 ribs of celery, roughly chopped
2 cans of low-sodium beef broth
1 pound of potatoes, chunked
1 teaspoon of black pepper
6 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
1/8 teaspoon of salt
Cook on low 8-9 hours or on high 4-5 hours or until the roast is fall-apart tender. Serve with fresh crusty bread.
Go Camping and Go Gourmet
Eating well when you go camping is not only an unexpected pleasure but it enhances the entire experience. At
the RV Cooking Show we believe in meals as memory makers and simple dishes as souvenirs. Create recipes that
bring back those wonderful outdoor adventure memories anytime of the year. Can you taste your next camping
trip? Chances are it’s delicious!

10 Tips for Camping with Dogs
The campgrounds listed in this guide that welcome pets do so because they realize they are part of the family.
While most campers travel with well-mannered dogs, some owners lack good manners when it comes to
“petiquette”. PLEASE AVOID:
• Allowing pets to roam freely around the campground or site
• Leaving pets unattended at your site
• Not picking up after your pet
• Bringing pets to pool/beach areas
It’s important that when bringing your four-legged friend, that you are
properly prepared for any situation that may arise. Here are some simple
tips for camping with your dog!
1. Make sure your dog is up to date on all shots and vaccinations.
2. Keep a copy of current records of shots and vaccinations.
3. Make sure that your dog is registered upon check-in and has an
identification tag.
4. Use a crate for traveling, sleeping, or short term holding.
5. Bring extra leashes, toys, treats, and collars!
6. Don’t forget to bring your pet’s regular dishes and food along with any
prescribed medication.
7. Be sure to keep your dogs cool and hydrated, especially when it’s hot.
8. Make sure to pack some first aid items and obtain a phone number to a nearby pet hospital for unexpected
situations.
9. Always clean up after your dog; bring doggie bags or use bags provided by your campground to pick up
waste and properly dispose of these bags in trash cans.
10. Ensure that your dog gets plenty of exercise! Let them run around in the dog park or take them for walks.
