Where We Are Now

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.

Where to Next

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

Desert View RV Park

      After seeing the Needles KOA and its lack of shade, we decide to move to the Desert View RV Park next door. Not that there was anything wrong with the KOA, but Desert View was more preferable. The first thing we noticed was the owner's pride in his campground and his attention to his customer’s needs. He became a friend and will return to Needles again just to say hi. The park is laid out to try to provide as much shade as possible to all campsites. This also provided privacy, so that you weren’t camping with the septic connection of your neighbor. The site has a concrete pad for you to set out your barbecue or chairs. Unfortunately, there weren't any picnic tables. There is a small pool, a rec room with games, a small dog exercise area, and a laundry.

   While in Needles we visited the Casinos in Laughlin, drove out to the mining town of Oatman, with its wild burros roaming the streets, and made a trip to Lake Havasu to see the London Bridge.  I couldn’t get over how blue the Colorado River was.  Unfortunately, Needles itself doesn’t have much to offer, besides expensive fuel.  The nearest grocery store is a Smith’s sixteen miles away.  But if you’re into following Route 66, it ran through both Oatman and Needles.

  Overall, Desert View is a nice campground and would highly recommend staying there if you found yourself looking for an RV park in that part of the world.
