Recipe of the Month: Mountain Breakfast Skillet
Ingredients:
Potatoes: We suggest using waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red, New, or even fingerling potatoes. They will keep their structure, even when pan-fried.
Peppers & Onion: Use any color bell pepper if you want to keep the flavor mild, or, for some extra heat, consider using an Anaheim or Poblano pepper. For the onions, we like go with a classic yellow. But white or red would work as well.
Cheese + Eggs: One of the signature parts of this breakfast are the cheesy scrambled eggs.
Breakfast Sausage: Lots of options here to choose from: links or crumbles, mild or spicy, meat or vegan. They will all work, so it’s up to you.

Reasons you should go camping in the Winter
Going RV camping can be fun and exciting any time of the year. Many RVers shy away from camping in the winter because they are concerned about the restraints of cold weather camping. If you have never experienced an RV trip in the dead of winter, this will offer you five compelling reasons you should. In the opinion of some RV campers, there is no better time to experience the joys of mother nature at her finest.
Most RVers cannot stand the thought of being away from their RV all winter long. If you are one of them, check out these five compelling reasons you should plan on RV camping in the cold of winter.
- One of the biggest reasons for RVing in the winter is being able to save tons of money. RV parks often offer deep discounts during the winter months which can allow you to spend your saved money on fun and good eats.
- Another reason that drives people to RV during the winter is the lack of tourist crowds. Most people plan their vacations in the warm months, so winter travel offers a more peaceful interaction with nature and the sites along the way.
- Some RVers prefer camping in the winter because of the lack of pests they must deal with in their travels. No mosquitos, snakes, and other unwanted pests can be a strong drawing point. At least you won’t have to pack your bug spray.
- If you love snowy weather, what better time to RV? Imagine staying cuddled up warm and cozy in your RV and watching the snow fall over the mountains! For some, this is the reason that gets them on the road every time.
- The health benefits of traveling in colder weather is also a factor to consider. Breathing in cool air offers amazing benefits to your health.
We look forward to seeing you this season at Volunteer Park & Campground. Whether you’re huddled by the fire, cooking up some comfort food, or taking in the sights of Knoxville, we hope your December is filled with warmth, adventure, and great memories. Happy Camping!
