We're back! 20 days, 4500 miles.
Just home from an epic camping trip, wanted to give info on CGs we stayed at in case anyone is interested.
Pocatello, ID - Cowboy RV Park, was a very nice quiet spot, the CG is seperate from the mobile home area and really didn't get any type of bad feeling from being there. Well maintained, friendly people, good access from the highway.
Arches National Park, UT - Had a spot booked at Portal in Moab (paid for), but got to the CG in Arches, with trailer in tow after 7pm and got a spot that had been cancelled. Incredible CG, private spots, breathtaking views.
Grand Canyon AZ. Camped in Trailer Village. Definite parking lot style but good access to the south rim.
San Diego Area, CA - Guajome County Park. Great find, quiet, treed, great bathrooms/showers. Good access to Carlsbad (Legoland!) and easy drive to SD.
Anaheim, CA - Anaheim RV Resort. Well run CG, mostly pavement, good trees. Easy access to Disneyland, and fantastic Mexican food at Mi Casa!
Santa Barbara, CA - Carpinteria State Beach. TINY campsites, very hard to get in and out of. 21 foot max (which ours is, just squeezed in. Spots are wide enough to park the vehicle next to the trailer (but can't open doors of either lol), otherwise, parking is far or unavailable. FANTASTIC beach though, sandy, 'shallow', nice tide pools.
Monterey Bay, CA - Marina Dunes, up the highway a bit. Well run CG, some highway noise, further from beach than I imagined. We had very loud neighbours which didn't help our experience. Good clean buildings/laundry.
Giant Redwoods, CA - Ancient Redwoods RV. Great spot, well laid out campground (only a handful of units there!), nice sites, beautiful surroundings. Very nice people who run a lovely gift shop adjacent to the CG.
Oregon Coast - Camped at Beachside State Park. Incredible CG, hope to go back one day. Stunning beach, pretty large, well treed sites, good ammenities. Power/water only, dump station is at other parks 17 miles north or south.
Coeur D'alene, ID - Coeur D'alene RV resort. Large CG, pretty much a big parking lot, lots of permanent RVs (seemingly) but a quieter area at the back. We were near the gazebo/basketball courts. Very good ammenities and highway access. Would stay again for an overnighter or if we were visiting the area for a few days.
Great trip overall, no complaints at all about anything! HTT & TV were fantastic. :D
