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

Little Diamond Lake RV Campground, Newport, Washington

      After a not-so-fun drive through Spokane we arrived at Little Diamond Lake Campground.  The campground is both a Thousand Trails and a KOA campground.  It is divided as such, but only in aspects of campsite locations.  When we arrive a couple of days before the Labor Day weekend, the KOA section was all but empty, but once the weekend hit, both sides of the campground filled up.  The KOA side being newer had lots and lots of great sites.  The TT did too, but there was a difference.  The staff were all KOA people, but that didn’t really make a difference, everyone was quite nice.  As campgrounds go, this one is really nice.  Only, we stayed too long and with smoke from wildfires kept us and most of the rest of the campers inside after the Labor Day weekend.  

       The Campground features a small lake with a dock and paddle boats to rent.  There is also a nice clubhouse with pool tables, ping pong, and others.  There is a nice outdoor pool and an indoor spa.  Also, a laundry, a store, and a small room for wifi, with books, videos, puzzles, and a TV.  Overall the KOA people do a great job of keeping this rather large campground clean and well maintained.

     From the campground, we took a couple of drives before the smoke took over.  We drove down and explored Coeur d'Alene and Sand Point, Idaho.  Both are great tourist towns with shops and things to do and explore.  The best part of our visit here to Little River was the friend that we met, Lynne & Dean, and Patti & Dwayne.  Meeting great people is one of the best perks to full-time RV'ing.  Lynne & Dean introduced us to a website called RVillage.  It is like Facebook for RV'ers.  We signed up, saw who else was in the campground and met Patti & Dwayne.  

     Panoramic views of Northeast Washington are just one of this campground’s attractive features. Warm weather plus a trip to Little Diamond RV Campground in Washington is the perfect combination for summer fun. Our resort offers plenty of activities for the whole family, including fishing for Kamloops, paddle boating or lounging by the swimming pool. The popular nearby Silverwood Theme Park makes for a fun day out.
