Camping & Outdoors Editor
Former state-park ranger turned travel writer.
Marisol spent six years as an interpretive ranger in the California and Colorado state park systems before turning to writing full-time. She knows public-land camping from the inside — how reservation windows really work, why some loops fill before others, and which 'first-come, first-served' sites are worth gambling on.
She edits and writes the regional and state pillar guides for RV Parks Guide, stitching together the best parks in an area into trip-ready itineraries. Her work leans on park-service data, reservation systems, and her own field notes from years of seasonal travel.
When she isn't writing, Marisol is usually scouting shoulder-season trips in her vintage Airstream, chasing the narrow windows when the weather is good and the campgrounds are empty.
