Where were you with your NEWMAR today?

Stopped at the Wally World in Truth or Consequences, NM today. It's the first time I parked under cover at a Wally World. View attachment 24983

Interesting strategy on the part of W with the height of that covering. Just a foot shy of being able to accommodate semi truck trailer height, which also excludes our rig.

Very cool find (pun maybe intended…)

I found out later, that those are solar panels.

Thousand Trails Bend-Sunriver
Cellular: AT&T 2 to 4 out of 5 bars, but works. Was the only way I had internet was by making my phone a hotspot as well as my onboard MiFi.
SAT: Depends which lot you are in. Most lots are surrounded by tall trees, blocking southern exposure. Mine was such that I couldn't lock on satellites. A large number of rigs had portable dishes with long cables running back to the rigs so they could find an optimum spot to shoot through gaps in the trees.
WiFi: Although there are state of art WiFi stations scattered all over the park spaced less than half to a full football field distance apart (that they charge for online once connected), the only one that I was able to attach to was near the main enterance/checkin station. Others throughout the park, including the one right next to my lot and the two others near me within 75 feet, wouldn't assign an IP address, making it impossible to connect and sign in.
Amenities: 2 swimming pools, 2 dump stations, ALL LOTS NOW HAVE 50A SERVICE (even though the maps claim 50A is only on a small handfull lots near the check in station), laundry, basketball, horseshoes, pickles all, tennis, etc.

Other than no WiFi I scored a great spot at L13. Over half the spots have trees and srubs between them and are spaced fairly far apart for increased privacy. This RV park is extremely dusty with a very fine baby powder like dust. Bring your allergy meds and/or asthma inhaler.

I wish this park had sewer hook-ups. The general store has been closed since the pandemic, which also sucks.

Why stay here? It's the nearest to glorious Sunriver!!! This little resort town is awesome for all things outdoors. Rafting, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boards, bicycling, horseback riding, swimming, hiking, golfing, etc. The town even has a public observatory to look at the night sky. We come to Sunriver every summer, whether in the lodge, a rental unit, or the RV park.

Best,
-Mark

We stopped at Stillwater RV Park. This Park is relatively new.
This Park is designed for people with children and/or consider drinking alcohol to be a large part of the camping experience.
The staff is young and systems not as smooth as some other parks, possibly a learning curve yet. For instance received a call from the “office” at 6pm asking when we would arrived? We checked in and setup at 3p.m.??
More important when I explained we were here, in our spot, she immediately berated me for not checking in?!
Explained that we not only checked in at 3 but eat in the their bar/restaurant, average quality, at 5 pm?
Finally got it sorted out and she apologized for not having their system properly updated.
Just not our style of place and very expensive if you are not interested in the offerings.

Stopped at Rocking A RV park. Very convenient to US 278 in Vernon TX. And walking distance to a Walmart super center.
This park is inexpensive and pleasant enough. Looks to be family owned and operated. Nothing more than a grass field with utilities for hookups.
Check directions twice because the entrance is easy to miss and from the road looks like a storage facility.
Front desk is nice, so far quiet, sans train across a field in back. Trains several times a night whistle at crossing street by industrial facility.
Less volume than Nappanee
Didn’t bother us sleeping.
Off to Amarillo in the morning.

Couple of days at Oasis RV Park in Amarillo TX. Great pull throughs clean convenient and relatively quiet. Loves truck stop with separate Loves RV camp area just down the street and I40 right there.
Had dinner at the Big Texan Steak and Ranch, Home of the 72oz steak for free if you can eat it in an hour. Quite the show and decent food. Lots of tourists stuff. Like Wall Drug Texas style.
1 out of 4 “contestants “ were successful eating the entire steak with Fixings last night.
Fun time.

Did you smell the feed lots located south of Oasia? It can be pretty odiferous.

 

[Joe Hogan]

Southern breeze no smell of feed lot.

If you are particular about your food, nice organic foods store. Short drive.

Motorcoach Resort Lake Erie Shores in Geneva on the Lake Ohio for 8 nights. Spacious sites, level concrete pads, no cable, good T Mobile and Verizon. Lots for sale, some with houses attached (up to 1.5m!) We have a nice site facing the state park with a small lake behind us.

Acorns Resort at Milford Lake, Ks. We stayed three days here and really enjoyed it. There is a nice hiking trail in the resort, a marina with rentals (boats / kayaks / canoes) and an onsite restaurant. The hours of the restaurant are somewhat limited, and they are suffering from staff shortages that make the service time a little long, but overall decent food and a great atmosphere. Nice views from the deck at sunset.

Sites are level with concrete pads and very well spaced, lots of room! Onsite laundry and showers as well as a pool. We did not use them but they looked clean and well cared for. Staff was very friendly as were all of our neighbors. Campground was not nearly full, but most of the pull throughs were taken.

Deer Valley RV Resort in Topeka, KS.
This is the most immaculately clean park we have ever stayed in. Not a speck of trash to be found, pool was sparkling clean, lawns and flower beds were very well maintained. No trees within the park, so fully open sun and no shade.

The access is very easy from I70, but there is little road noise at night. It was very hot during our stay, and the park is located in a "bowl" surrounded by trees so the airflow was restricted and it felt much hotter at the site than it did up at the pool. Level concrete pull throughs with FHU and solid power. Propane fill for your coach or small bottles available on site. It was 3.48/gal at the time I filled.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Park is secured in the evening with a gate with access codes for entry after hours. Shopping and entertainment is within 10-15 minutes, Casinos within 30-45 minute drive.

Left the KOA in Maple Grove, MN this morning and arrived at Jamestown, ND. On our way to Polson, MT. Been watching the weather and it’s going to be hot there, definitely not expecting that. We arrive on Friday and it’s supposed to be like 91 and then on Saturday like 96.
This campsite is right off of I-94 so that’s convenient but extremely close to your neighbors.

I hate those door side to door side sites, designers didn't consider dogs? We try to take our dogs out and people are right at our front door, not fun, we boycott them.

I’m not a big fan of it either but it’s just for the night. They do have a great dog run though. One of the largest we have seen in a long time.

Swan Bay RV Resort

Campground along the St Lawrence River a short distance from Alexandria Bay. Antique Boat Show & Auction starts Friday in Clayton along with the Antique Boat Museum being located there. We visited the area in 2006 with a boat and quickly understood why there is a town called 1000 Islands.

We loved staying there! Catch the tour boat for the castle.

Left Jamestown, ND this morning and made it to Miles City, MT, on our way to Polson. Stopped at the KOA here and have more room than last night. Very nice people at the office and they have a small dog run. Our fur-babies were able to stretch their legs when we got here.
We decided to go to MT to get cooler weather and it was 91 degrees while I filled up with gas before pulling into here, go figure

I was at the Miles City KOA a week ago. Sure is quite a bit of traffic on the Dike Road at the back side of the campground. Other than that, it was an okay stay. Were were they for 3-4 days.
