El Capitan State Beach

April 24-26, 2013: We chose this campground because it was on the water and had partial hook-ups. As well, as being located in the direction that we were heading. It was pretty rainy and dreary while we were there so I am not sure I can really give it a fair shake. The views from [...]

Carpentieria State Beach

April 23-24, 2013: As we headed our way north up the coast, we thought we should take in some of the California State Parks along the way. I made reservations at this one thinking it would be similar to the first come, first-served camping parking spaces along the Pacific Coast Highway. We were surprised to [...]

Golden Shores RV Resort

April 18-23, 2013: This is our campground for the Grand Prix of Long Beach. Whenever we attend a street course race, we always have a challenge finding a campground that is close to the track. There are really not that many urban campgrounds and the ones that do exist usually leave a lot to be [...]

Motorcoach Country Club (again)

April 15-18, 2013: After Joshua Tree we decided to head back the the luxury of the Motorcoach Country Club. Darren was about to have a busy week at the Grand Prix of Long Beach and we had been drying camping all weekend. We rented the same spot and there isn’t really much new to report. [...]

Joshua Tree National Park-Cottonwood CG

April 12-15, 2013: Visiting Joshua Tree National Park was on my must-do list of stops for this trip. We visited the NP before, entering from the northern Twentynine Palms entrance and staying at the Black Rock Canyon campground. This time I wanted to stay at the more central and popular Jumbo Rocks campground. As things [...]

Motorcoach Country Club

April 10-12, 2013: Each lot in this resort is privately owned, meaning the park itself does not own the site you are renting, but simply manages it for the owners. When you have this arrangement the owners improve their lots to suit their tastes and then rent the space when they are not staying there. [...]

Catalina State Park

April 9-10, 2013: This was a new stop for us. We needed to get supplies and there is a Whole Foods in Tucson. A quick search found this state park. Since it was just an overnight stop for us we didn’t really explore the park, but if you pick the right spot you have a [...]

La Hacienda & El Charro

April 6-9, 2013: I think we may have stayed at this campground on every one of our trips out west. It is clean, has all the amenities, and is right off of the highway. It’s also is close to Old Mesilla where there are many restaurants and shops. We usually plan for one still day [...]

American RV Park

April 5-6, 2013: In the past we have always stayed at Enchanted Trails RV Resort whenever we passed through Albuquerque, so this time we thought we might try a new RV park. We chose American RV Park because it is across the highway from Enchanted Trails and we hoped we might get a view of [...]

Palo Duro State Park

April 3-5, 2013: This is one of our favorite stops we heading out to California.  In fact it is why we chose to drive on I-40 instead of 10 or 20.  We always choose campgrounds we the views are right at your campsite and this campground does have the views.  There are three campgrounds with [...]
