Discovering North Dakota, Minnesota outdoors with an RV
The couple says their RV helps them stay comfortable, fish longer and turn weeklong park trips into family time.
Chris and Alecia Pulver prioritize family memories and fishing when choosing camping destinations, frequently traveling to North Dakota state parks in their fifth-wheel camper from their home in Stanley.
The Pulvers transitioned from tent camping to a fifth-wheel camper to shield their two young children from the elements and ensure better sleep. Over time, they embraced this style of camping, sometimes dubbed "glamping," for its modern amenities.
"We camp to fish," Chris Pulver said, and the couple prefers Grahams Island State Park. Surrounded by the expansive Devils Lake, the site offers wooded privacy where they cast lines for at least a week per visit.
Chris and Alecia Pulver met while working at Fort Abraham Lincoln, establishing a deep family connection to state parks. Their children, Bridger and Autumn, continued this legacy by working at Metigoshe and Turtle River in Grand Forks County.
Viewing their RV as an investment in family memories, the Pulvers intend to continue visiting North Dakota state parks. They prioritize maintaining a comfortable home base regardless of weather, ensuring their tradition of outdoor time together endures.
