We have stayed at Joshua Tree National Park in the northwest corner at Black Rock Campground and thoroughly enjoyed the area. We explored the central area of the park also but never got down to the southern area. So we decided to go to Cottonwood. And they said it could

Parker, Arizona – Out and About
While staying at River Island State Park we realized our water pump was starting to go so my husband drove into Parker and bought a new one at Spankys RV. He installed it quickly before dinner that evening but since it was getting dark he decided to wait until morning

A week in Lake Havasu City just doesn’t seem long enough. With all the sights in the city and all the local hiking trails, the river, the lake, wow, too much to do and not enough time. The lake, named Lake Havasu, is actually a reservoir north of Parker Dam
Continue readingDeath Valley National Park – Furnace Creek Campground – California
We made reservations back last fall hence the inexpensive price, plus we used our Interagency Pass and received a discount. The prices for the somewhat newly installed Full Hook-Ups (FHU) at Furnace Creek Campground have increased and the sites today cost quite a bit more than when we made the

Campground: Calico Ghost Town Location: Calico, California Site: A-17 Cost: $37.50 Services: FHU Comments: Fine place for doing laundry and grocery shopping but a bit crowded and busy with locals and their off-roading and lots of little parties. The site was very narrow and a bit short but we managed.

We really like Mojave National Preserve. There are two campgrounds, Hole-In-The-Wall and Mid Hills. Hole-In-The-Wall can easily fit big rigs but Mid Hills tends to be more for tenters. A small RV or camper can easily fit there though. And we found some “OH SO GREAT” boondocking spots but know

We stored our RV at The Springs at Borrego this year and flew out of Palm Springs to head to Florida (family) for a few weeks. Worked great and was real easy and inexpensive. It is outdoors and uncovered but in a locked gated area. Link to Map in “Where

Wouldn’t you know it! We never need to be somewhere at a certain time in the morning but this morning, well, we go to leave and we have a flat tire and we needed to be somewhere in 15 minutes. Haven’t had a flat in a long, long, long time.

One of the great things about Borrego Springs is that it is one of the few places in America that hasn’t been hit with “strip malls”. You may love the convenience and prices of strip malls but it sure destroys the atmosphere and the uniqueness of a place. What Borrego
