We landed this afternoon at Ely KOA Journey, pretty much right in the middle of Nevada, elevation, 6500 ft. This is just a stop-over for a night, but it really is a nice campground. We plan to drive around this after and check out the town.
From here we're heading north to Idaho. Our first stop is a place called Anderson Camp. We plan to spend a couple of days there so we can check out Shoshone Falls and what's left of Twin Falls
Life is good, camp California
Cherry Valley Lakes is a private park for Colorado River Adventures members as well as Coast to Coast members. We arrived here on a Friday morning. The lady at the gate told us that she had a site that was available and would fit us. That made moving in quick and easy.
The first thing that we noticed about the park was that it was right on the I-10 freeway and that there were no quiet sites. We walked around the campground and saw that they had a small pool and hot tub. Also, there were three small ponds. We found the lodge and horseshoe pits. Not much to say about them. The laundry was nice, but again nothing noteworthy about it. We found the campground worthy of an overnighter or two, but not a place that we would stay much longer. As for dog owners, outside of the campground was a large park that ran below the power lines, which was nice. Overall, there wasn’t anything too exciting about the campground negative or positive. I hope it isn’t typical of other “Colorado River Adventures” RV parks.
