The two RV Gypsies stayed at Encore Thousand Trails Oceana Campground in Ocean City, Washington. As they turned left into the park entrance, there were ditches on both sides of the road. This made it a bit tricky to drive their big RV into or out of the park. This park did not have Wi-Fi (except at the clubhouse), but the two RV Gypsies had their own Wi-Fi which worked occasionally. NO TV at all in this campground unless you have a satellite dish, which the two RV Gypsies do not have.

The campground had all dirt toads and an extremely small clubhouse. Laundry was inside an old trailer. Luckily the two RV Gypsies do not use campground laundry rooms or restrooms. RV's or cars can be washed on site for an additional fee, but it would not do much good with the dirt roads in the park. There was a big empty field that the kids played in, but no pool. No personal mail accepted at this park.

The first part of the park had very few RV's in it on this date. Apparently everyone liked to drive over the narrow bridge (shown in the photo below) to the second half of the park. That may be because of the access to the beach. But that does make the small clubhouse, where Wi-Fi was located, and the laundromat trailer a bit of a walk.

Below: The two RV Gypsies finally reached the beach. It was a cold day, and there was a mist in the air just hovering over the sandy beach (see photo below on the right).
