Out with the old in with the new

With the covid-19 we only did two camping trips and a few day trips last year ( 2020 ), we went camping New Years Eve ( 20 20 ) and New Years Day( 2021 ) ! So Out with the old in with the new!
We hope to do a lot more camping this year, we have a few winter places to go too.

Do any of you B or Camper van people have any winter or springs camping plans ?

Here are a few pictures of the State Park campground with elect and water and only 40 miles from home .





Have Good New Year with lots of camping, Jay
Class B

    We spent our summer in different places in Alaska seeing sights while social distancing. We live here so it was easy to just hop in and decide we were going to spend the night somewhere.

    Our local campgrounds were very busy all summer. With our Class B we could fit in various locations. We have two local stores which allow overnighters. If we could not find a camping spot which allowed for a safe distance, we spent the night at one of these places after hitting the beach or a trail. We don't plan much, but this summer we will head north as far as possible.

    I doubt that the Canadian border will be open except for through travel, so we will stay in AK if it is not. If things with COVID look better we will do a social distancing/isolating trip to see our son in NY.

    Happy camping everyone!

    The ocean was incredible, huge waves and breakers on the cliffs and rocks, amazing.
    Looks like your Border Collies enjoyed it too?

    Coos Bay is a great place to go camping, we have stayed at Sunset SP.one December several years ago and went to see the Christmas lights at the gardens and We hope to get over to the coast this winter.

    My dog is what they call a Borgie she is Corgi mix with Border Collie and yes she loves to go camping.

    Beautiful camping site appears to come with a guard dog.


    My dog is not much of a guard dog as she loves people and doesn't care for other dogs.

    Good for you Jay!

    If we had weather other than below freezing with snow we'd do winter camping too!

    We usually do mostly fall and spring camping and this last year our spring plans were all thrown out because of closures. We did a couple day trips in the summer and then some camping in the fall. It was a very bad year after our best year ever in 2019...

    Here's hoping 2021 will be better than 2020!!!!


    In southern Oregon we can watch the weather and get in some winter camping. We don't go camping in the summer time! leave it to the family's and their kids.
