My wife and I just saw an ad for “Go RVing” (which is an industry association for RV manufacturers and campgrounds), which was shot in a really beautiful location. The ad is here: [http://gorving.com/discover-away/tv-commercials#LgUyPrxs530](http://gorving.com/discover-away/tv-commercials#LgUyPrxs530) (This should link to the third ad on the page, entitled “Comforts”.) Do any of you recognize where this is shot? It feels to me like it’s in a park in the northwestern U.S., but I may well be entirely mistaken. ---

It feels to me like it’s in a park in the northwestern U.S., but I may well be entirely mistaken. First guess is Canmore, Alberta. That may not be it exactly, but I’ll bet you it is in the general area. ---

The Eastern Sierra is full of places like that. Here’s one place to get started with your trip planning: [Explore Highway 395!](http://drive395.org/index.html) ---

GuanoLad is completely wrong. The location of the commercial is in Boulder, CO, as seen in the first shot of the foothills in the background. I played on this field my entire childhood.

Welcome to the SDMB **colo** , thanks for fighting our ignorance. I hope you stick around. ---

You clearly have identified the location for the first video though. ---

What’s with that guy’s voice in that video? Is that the male equivalent of vocal fry?
