 Castaic Lake Campground  Castaic Lake Campground is basically a parking lot with a few amenities throw in. There's a very nice park on the opposite side of the lagoon from the campground and I'm sure in the summer months it's a busy place. You can sail, picnic, and cycle around the spacious grounds. We were camped there during the week and no one was in the A loop with us. There were a couple of campers in the other loops, but basically, we had the place to ourselves. I took the bikes out and rode up the road to Lake Castaic, the campground is located on Castaic Lagoon. It's a great ride up to the lake and the views are worth the uphill ride.

 View from nearby Point Dume Malibu Beach RV Park, Malibu, California The owner of the park has focused the business on primarily serving visitors to Malibu rather than monthly residents. This allows the park to retain a better image and be more enjoyable to the park guests. The park operates 142 RV sites and up to 35 tent sites. All sites have either an ocean or mountain view. The park is open 365 days a year.- from the website  Sunset Point Dume Paradise by the Sea Beach RV Resort, Oceanside, California
Our RV Park campground is adjacent to Buccaneer Park and Beach (Oceanside’s full service beach including playground, basketball court, shaded picnic area, restrooms and a beach café). Surf at the beach, walk to the Oceanside Pier, fish from the Oceanside Harbor, tour Encinitas, Solana Beach, & Camp Pendleton or just soak in the San Diego, California sun!
 Entrance San Diego Zoo  There's a reason people rave about the San Diego Zoo. I've been to a fair number of zoos over my life and, honestly, I most always go to zoos with some trepidation. While I know relatively nothing about how animals should be kept in captivity, let's just say I'm somewhat skeptical about housing wild, sometimes endangered, species for our viewing benefit. San Diego Zoo is the best zoo I've visited. It's well worth taking a day to walk around and view their collection of wild life. Golden Village RV Resort, Hemet, California

I tried to make a reservation for Jumbo Rocks Campground in the park, but they were full. We arrived at Ryan Campground, a first come, first served, campground at around noon on a Friday. There were two remaining available sites, we choose #28. Joshua Tree is a feast for the eyes. We toured around and saw part of the park on our bikes this time. The first day we rode from our campsite in Ryan to Jumbo Rocks and back. The second day we rode from Ryan to Keys View. Keys Point to Park Boulevard House of Horrors on Park Boulevard Snaps Around Ryan Campground At Sunset   1/12/20 Melanie and I really like Tucson. We spent two weeks there in 2019. We arrived in December on our second visit on Christmas Eve, made our way to a local Whole Foods market and, as luck would have it, drove by Tohono Chul. I noted the park looked interesting, but thought nothing else about it until a friend from Birmingham, Diane, mentioned we should go. So, we did. As Melanie and I were wandering around the gardens there, one of the best parts of our visit happened. Janel. She's a docent there and struck up a conversation with us. Next thing we know she's taking us on a tour identifying the flora and fauna and giving us some great history. It was a splendid way to spend an afternoon.   Continuing our trek west, I found this gem of an overnight spot. Fort Lancaster Scenic Overlook is a very basic overnight camping spot (covered picnic table and grill, garbage can, asphalt pad) for the reasonable price of free. Located off I-10 about 7 miles, the overlook also has a premium view looking west. Very little traffic along the scenic 290 loop where the scenic loop is located and we're sharing the entire area with one other camper this evening. Free bliss and our Verizon WiFi is fast.  When is Austin, Texas, strongly consider McKinney Falls State Park. Hiking, biking, fishing, picnicking, and the RV sites are nicely spaced. Water and electric. Easy access to Austin. |
