I recommend Riverside State Park, Bowl and Pitcher Campground in Washington State. Lots of hiking right out of the campground and beautiful views. The other place we liked was LaPine State Park in Oregon -- a lot of hiking and the campground was full hookups and really well maintained. There is a camper clubhouse to hang out in -- as the days get shorter and colder that is a special perk.


We are meeting a lot of Escape owners. As we pulled into Riverside an Escape was pulling out. They stopped to say Hello but we were preoccupied with figuring out where our campsite was. The next day a 19 pulled in -- newer than ours -- and we got to hang out with Veronica and Greg.



The picture is from the Buffalo Gap Grasslands where we boondocked -- it's just outside the Badlands; people call it the Wall

Neat shot. Looks like an Oliver joined you up on The Wall

Yes, they were there briefly, but we didn't have a chance to talk with them. The Olivers look really nice, but their layout would not work for us.

The photo is from Riverside State Park in WA State. The area is called Bowl and Pitcher.

Terry and I are near Santa Cruz, getting ready to go to Yosemite in a couple of days. We're staying at Cotillion Gardens RV Park in Felton. The great thing about it is that you can walk directly into Henry Cowell State Park from Cotillion, and walk the trails. The RV Park is adequate -- bathrooms are clean but the showers have a button that you have to push every ten seconds. Not optimal, but we're managing. We were going to stay in Henry Cowell, but there were no hookups and no dump station or water fill and since we'll be in Yosemite for two weeks or more we wanted things to be easy this week.

In the last four or five weeks we've been to Santa Cruz, Yosemite, Death Valley and Grand Canyon. I just posted some pictures and descriptions of the trip to my travel blog. The photo was taken in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in Felton CA.

In Felton we stayed at Cotillion Gardens RV Park instead of Henry Cowells because we wanted to have hookups before going to Yosemite. The good thing was that we could walk into Henry Cowells from the campground. The negative was that the showers were the worst we've had on the trip. We had to push a button for five seconds worth of water and keep doing it over and over again.
