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

The Oasis RV Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada

      From the get-go, we knew that the Oasis RV Resort was going to be the nicest RV Park that we’ve visited so far.  It’s in a different category than state parks, but as RV resorts go…  We parked the RV in one of the many waiting area slots and walked into a lobby as nice as most hotel resorts.  I originally reserved seven days, and they knocked off $15 a night by changing it to the weekly rate.  They gave us a great site as close to the pool as possible.  The site was concrete with a pad for the picnic table and a grassed area for chairs and relaxing.  Although the park is set up like a big parking lot, the sites are nice and depending on which type you want, they can go from both ends of the scale. 
       I can’t say enough about the two pools and the spa tub.  They are definitely nicer than most RV resorts.  There is a café, rooms for activities (the other night was Karaoke), a weight room, an 18-hole putting golf course, horseshoe pits, dog areas, a laundry, and a convenience store.  Plus, you’re only three miles from the strip (at least where I consider the strip beginning)  
      We’ve been to Vegas many times, this by far, was the most relaxing visit we’ve experienced.  We didn’t feel rushed to do a million things in a week’s time.  We were able to kick back at the pool and enjoy the park.  We did meet friends here and that added to the fun.   We are looking forward to returning here.  
      (Our second visit)  The park is every bit as nice as we remember it.  On our fourth day here, the mass shooting from the Mandalay Bay happened.  Fortunately, we weren't out on the strip that night.  It is very sad that so many people lost their lives to this senseless shooting.   
     On our 4th visit, we ran into friends we met here a year ago and friends that we met in Orlando, Florida, then again in Moody Beach Maine.  This is one of our favorite parks.  We love the weather here.  Especially in September and October.
