What happens when a full-time RVing family buys 38 acres to create the kind of campground they always wished existed?
In this episode, Kate sits down with Tonja Lesmeister — full-time RVer, campground owner, and founder of Firefly Hills — for a wildly inspiring conversation about RV life, land ownership, and designing spaces that actually work for full-time families.
Tonja shares her journey from hitting the road to homesteading in the Kentucky hills, how she built Firefly Hills to be intentionally inclusive and community-centered, and what the real process of buying and building out a campground looks like (spoiler: it’s not all sunshine and s’mores).
If you've ever dreamed of owning land, building something of your own, or just finding a better way to full-time RV, this is your sign.
