Lee and Karen
Duquette, The Two RV Gypsies, did NOT use any of the amenities shown
in photos below, but took photos anyway. Although Karen would have liked
to have had the time to use the hot tub, and maybe some of the other
stuff too. But they are usually too busy being out in their RV doing
stuff. They really do not spend much time in their RV in campgrounds,
except to sleep and maybe eat a bit or two. |

This Thousand Trails Park
had PAVED ROADS. It is not often that campgrounds have paved roads.
However the roads were narrow, and upon meeting another RV, someone
has to pull over or back up if they can. The two RV Gypsies did not
get any TV because the campground did not have cable and the two RV
Gypsies do not have their own satellite. No campground Wi-Fi but the
Wi-Fi of the two RV Gypsies did work here. Sites were wooded, and the
40 foot class A motorhome barely fit in the site, but the two RV Gypsies'
toad had to be parked sideways in front of the RV. The slideouts on
each side of the RV touched the trees that lined their site. Most sites
did not have sewer connections, but there were a few sites that did
have sewers. Checkout time for RVs was noon. Everything on this website
is subject to change as time passes, especially, costs and hours.
A full page of tsunami definitions and safe destinations was given
to the two RV Gypsies. The campground laundry was open 24-hours. All-in-all
a nice enough campground, but easy to get lost in because the layout
of sites had lots of loops. Signs say "be aware of wildlife
throughout the park; bears, coyotes and bobcats". The only
wildlife Karen Duquette saw were rabbits. |

Haystack Rock Beach was reachable via a path inside the campground (see menu below for those photos). That was a good thing because the toad of the two RV Gypsies would not start, so Lee Duquette called a tow truck to take the toad for repair. Ilse and Karen stayed at the campground and walked the path to Haystack Rock Beach. |
