On our previous stay in Newport we camped at South Beach State Park campground. This time we were looking for something a little different and decided to try out the Port of Newport RV Park. It is located at the marina with great views of the Yaquina Bay bridge and

Ft. Stevens State Park – Astoria, Oregon
Welcome to Ft Stevens State Park – where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. Ft Stevens campground is quite large with more than 8 loops and almost 500 sites. Yes, it is large but each loop feels quaint and small (albeit it can feel crowded on weekends and during

Our next destination was Mt St Helens so we choose a campground which had good access to the national monument. We found a cute little campground (11 RV sites and 11 tent sites) with some good reviews called Harry Gardner County Park. This park sits along the South Toutle River

As we headed west on I-90 we stopped in Three Forks, Montana at Wheat Montana. Who can resist Wheat Montana when driving by? Well, obviously no one can. We went in, or should I say we tried to go in, but the line up to order was at least 40
