We’re a Family, an RV, and a Goal to See America Together
Hi! We’re the Clark family — Shane, Venessa, Alex, Kameron, Marcus, and Bryce — a Cape Cod family that discovered RVing as a way to spend more time together, explore new places, and make memories along the way.
What started with the purchase of our first RV has grown into something we never really expected: 17 National Parks, 25 other National Park Service locations, thousands of miles on the road, and a goal of eventually visiting every National Park in the country.
Cape RV Travelers is where we share that journey — including what we’ve learned, what we would do differently, and the places we think other families should experience for themselves.
How Our RV Journey Started
When our family was younger, we loved taking vacations and traveling together. As our family grew from four to six, though, traveling became more complicated — and a lot more expensive.
We looked at timeshares, vacation packages, and different ways to continue traveling as a family. Eventually, we started looking into RVing.
In 2015, we found ourselves in a position where buying an RV was actually possible. After going to RV shows, researching campers, and talking to other RV owners, we finally took the leap.
In the spring of 2016, we purchased our first RV.
We didn’t know exactly where it would take us.
We just knew we wanted to travel.
Then We Visited the Grand Canyon
One of those trips took us to our first National Park — Grand Canyon National Park.
That trip changed the way we looked at RV travel.
Standing at the Grand Canyon made us realize there was so much of this country that we had never seen. National Parks weren’t just destinations to check off a list. They were places we wanted to experience together.
One park led to another.
And another.
Today, we’ve visited 17 National Parks and 25 National Park Service designated locations, and we’re still going.
Our long-term goal is a pretty simple one:
Visit every National Park we can — one RV trip at a time.
How CapeRvTravelers Began
In 2020, Venessa suggested that we start sharing our travels online.
Our son Kameron, who knew far more about building websites than we did, helped turn that idea into an actual website.
We needed a name.
Our family has called Cape Cod, Massachusetts home for decades, so Cape RV Travelers just seemed to fit.
Originally, the website was mostly a place to document where we had been. Over time, we realized it could be something more useful.
We’ve learned a lot through our own RV experiences — sometimes by doing things right and sometimes by figuring them out the hard way.
Today, Cape RV Travelers is about sharing those experiences so other families can spend a little less time figuring everything out and a lot more time enjoying the journey.
