Vines RV Resort – Paso Robles, California
We just stayed at the Vines RV Resort sister resort down the street called Wine Country RV Resort. Due to site availability issues (holiday weekend) we moved from Wine Country to Vines for our last few days in the area. The funny part about this is I had researched both
Continue readingWine Country RV Resort – Paso Robles, California
We’re heading to wine country in Paso Robles, California. A holiday weekend is fast approaching and we are finding it difficult to secure a site for the week. There are not many campgrounds and/or RV Parks in the area. There are 3 RV parks in Paso Robles and then a
Continue readingBakersfield Palms RV Park – Bakersfield, California
The reason we selected this park is they advertise a section of the RV park dedicated to “Overnighters” with 70′ pul-thrus. Perfect for when you just need a quick stopover and don’t want to unhook your tow vehicle. We have stayed in the area before and like to check out

We’re back. Seems like we were just here. Almost 3 months ago we stopped by this beautiful State Park for our first time and fell in love with it. So as we were coming back somewhat near this area we could not resist the chance to spend a few days

Another beautiful Maricopa County park nestled up in the foothills above Mesa, Arizona. The campground has 61 sites (both back-ins and pull-outs) offering water and electric hookups with nice spacious gravel picnic areas with picnic table, fire pit, and grill. Most are large and spacious and offer privacy. There are

Waddell? Yep, Waddell (pronounced Wah-Dell – not Wa-Dul as my sister so impatiently explained to me). I lived in Phoenix for a number of years and never heard of Waddell but there’s are lots of places I don’t know. Waddell is a small community right next to Surprise and Sun

Time for the Annual Big Top RV Show in Quartzsite. We left Mittry Lake two days before the show began and made the crazy pilgrimage to Quartzsite. And the line of motorhomes goes on forever and ever….. Traffic was moving but there was a string of motorhomes all headed north
