We are huge pickleball fans here at RV Atlas headquarters. We keep a set of paddles and balls in our garage, and in our RV. But we are rank amateurs–to say the least. We have been playing quite a bit over the last two years, but we have not been following the official rules. In fact–we pretty much change the rules every time we play.

On today’s episode of The RV Atlas podcast (and here on the blog) we are leveling up our game. We have wanted to do a podcast episode about pickleball at RV resorts for a long time–but didn’t have the perfect guest to bring on the show–until now.

Julie Gallutia is the author of the brand new book PICKLEBALL POINTS: 125 Interesting and Fun Facts for the Pickleball Enthusiast and she has become a friend of The RV Atlas on social media over the last year. When we saw her post a picture of her new book we knew we needed to have her on the podcast STAT to give us a 101 style intro to the game of pickleball. Julie and her partner Katrina are full time RVers who are also avid and competitive pickleball players. In the podcast interview we talk a lot about RV life and culture and how it intertwines with pickleball. Julie truly was the perfect person to come on the show and talk about this rapidly growing sport–especially as it pertains to #rvlife. 

In this episode we cover three basic topics:

Julie was kind enough to provide us with a terrific list of great campgrounds that have pickleball courts. If you really want to take your next vacation at a campground that has pickleball this list should help you get started. There are so many great campgrounds here. Thanks Julie!
