  • Campfire Banana Boats: The Easiest (and Most Delicious) Camping Dessert

    Looking for a campfire dessert that wows every time? Meet the Banana Boat — the easiest, most delicious treat you can make at any campsite. No bowls, no mess, just pure chocolatey, marshmallowy goodness.

    What You’ll Need

    • 1 banana (peel on)
    • 2 tablespoons milk chocolate chips
    • 8 mini marshmallows
    • 1 graham cracker square

    How to Make It

    1. SLIT — Cut the banana lengthwise (peel on), stopping before you hit the bottom.
    2. STUFF — Pack the opening with chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
    3. MELT — Wrap in foil. Grill or place near campfire coals for about 10 minutes.
    4. TOP — Unwrap, sprinkle with crushed graham crackers, and dig in!

    Why We Love This Recipe

    It requires almost zero prep, the cleanup is just a piece of foil, and kids absolutely love making (and eating) them. It’s become a staple on every Hoosier RV trip — and once you try one, you’ll understand why.

    All of our travel trailers and Class C motorhomes come with a fully equipped kitchen for meal prep, plus outdoor space perfect for campfire cooking. And since we handle delivery and setup, your campsite is ready before you arrive — all you need to bring are the ingredients.

    Indiana is packed with incredible state parks — but if you’re planning your next Hoosier RV trip and aren’t sure where to go, we’ve got you covered. Here are our top 4 must-visit camping destinations in the state.

    1. Brown County State Park

    Known as the “Little Smokies” of Indiana, Brown County State Park offers some of the most stunning fall foliage and year-round trail hiking in the Midwest. With rolling hills, horseback riding, and a nature center, it’s perfect for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The town of Nashville, Indiana is just minutes away for shopping and dining.

    2. Indiana Dunes State Park

    Sitting on the southern shore of Lake Michigan, Indiana Dunes offers miles of sandy beaches, towering sand dunes, and incredible sunset views. Hike the famous Three Dune Challenge or relax by the water — either way, it’s a bucket-list Indiana experience. Great for summer trips!

    3. Turkey Run State Park

    Turkey Run is one of Indiana’s most beloved parks, famous for its dramatic sandstone gorges, ancient forests, and scenic Sugar Creek. The canyon trails are unlike anything else in the state — you’ll feel like you’re in a completely different world. Spring and fall are the best times to visit.

    4. McCormick’s Creek State Park

    Indiana’s first state park is still one of its best. McCormick’s Creek features a stunning limestone canyon, a beautiful waterfall, and miles of trails through hardwood forests. It’s especially magical during wildflower season in the spring and the Wildflower Weekend events.

  • Try Before You Buy: Rent an RV Before Making the Big Purchase

    Thinking about buying an RV? It’s a big investment — and the last thing you want is to spend $30,000+ only to discover the floor plan doesn’t work for your family, or that RV life isn’t quite what you imagined. That’s where Hoosier RV comes in.

    Rent First. Buy Smart.

    Renting before you buy is one of the smartest things a prospective RV owner can do. With a Hoosier RV rental, you can:

    • Test drive RV life for a weekend — See what a real trip feels like before you commit.
    • Figure out what floor plan actually works — Bunkhouse? Slideout? Front bedroom? You’ll know after a weekend. Browse our fleet to compare floor plans.
    • See how your family fits and travels — Everyone’s needs are different. Find out what yours are.
    • Decide if RV life is really for you — Some people love it. Some realize they’d rather tent camp. Better to know before you buy!

    A Rental Weekend Could Save You Thousands

    Spending a few hundred dollars on a rental weekend is nothing compared to the cost of buying the wrong RV and trying to sell it a year later. Think of it as the most affordable test drive you’ll ever take. And since we handle delivery and setup, you get the full ownership experience without any of the logistics stress — a perfect simulation of what owning would actually feel like. Have questions before your first rental? Check our FAQ.
