- New2RVeesExplorerHello all.
Love your pics! Boondocking is our favorite way to go, too. Here is our favorite So Cal spot - about 1.5 hours from home, but worlds away!
This is in Los Padres National Forest. There is a flowing creek just on the other side of our campsite, too! - RubiranchExplorer

This is where we will go in a few weeks for our first trip out this year.
It's 5-Mile Pass and is less than an hours drive from home. It will be a while before we make it up into the mountains, we had tons of snow this year.:( - monakaykExplorer

Thanks again for the pictures and I will definitely post pics when we get back.
Sounds like you got a good site....well away from the main road. Do post some photos....can't wait to see them.
Have a great time! - RubiranchExplorerWe reserved the next to the last row, we're excited.:B:B

Thanks for the pictures, we have never been there but are looking forward to it.
We plan on staying "in town" for one day to visit the shops and take a helicopter tour of Bryce Canyon.
Looks like a really nice place.:B
Glad you enjoyed the photos. As stated by previous post, the back sites are the best. We were way back and far from the main road and our site (as you can tell in the photos) was surrounded by trees. We had elec/water hookups and the sites are really far apart. At least at that time, which it made it very private.
Also, not sure if this policy still holds as it did when we went yearrrrrrs ago, but CG guest are allowed to use the pool at the hotel...located near the CG. Our girls really enjoyed swimming each day after we got back from touring the NP parks.
Hope you have a great time...and the helicopter ride will be so much fun! Post some photos on this forum...I would love to see them. - RubiranchExplorerWe took the last row with full hookups, we took all 8 sites. I need full hookups because we don't have a gray tank abd we took the site closest to Lake Minnie (#126).:B I hope it's a nice one.
- ReneeGExplorerHey Rubirance,
We too stayed at Ruby's Inn several years ago and the sites were wooded. Try to get a spot in the back as opposed to the side. The back ones are more primitive, but with the hookups. - RubiranchExplorer

Rubiranch,
You mentioned plans about staying at Ruby's Inn CG in Utah, well we stayed there back in 1993. Loved the CG...and it was so HEAVLY wooded. Look at two photos of our campsite there below:
Across the street from the CG is a 'mock' western town. Full of fun stuff for the kids and adults to enjoy. The girls are having fun pretending they are traveling on the Oregon Trail in a covered wagon.
