Great pics! The timing of your post is amazing as I was just talking to my dad this past Friday about some places to camp in WA. He lives in Bremerton and was naming some of the very campgrounds you stayed at. Thanks for the pics, it gives a better feel for the area than you can get from any campground website pic or even Google maps satellite view.


Oh my, from Bremerton these three places I linked below are full hookup camp gounds even in the winter, and they are first come first serve in the winter. Easily a one tank trip, not much more than one to two hours drive.

And we fueled our diesel truck in Forks WA for only 2.87 a gallon, the absolute cheapest we've seen personally for diesel.

Thanks for sharing. Do you have a 4 season camper?


Yes, our trailer is supposed to be four season, but they routed the water lines in the floor and sadly the heat from the furnace doesn't get to one section just below the entry steps and the wheel well opening and I have noted we are good to about 20 degrees outside if the heat is on, but anything below that and the lines freeze up.

I haven't had our current truck camper out in extreme weather, I just bought it last year, but all the water lines run along interior walls so I'm hopeful that so long as the heat stays on and cabinet doors are left open it too will perform OK. The furnace is right next to the hot water tank in the right rear wing area so I hope the plumbing in that area will remain liquid so long as the furnace is on.
