Sam Houston Jones State Park

Written by Rick

Sam Houston Jones State Park

Sam Houston Jones State Park, was just a one night stay over, but after going there, I wish we would have stayed longer. The park is beautiful with swamps and a river, cabins, RV, and tent camping. The campground is wooded with mostly paved sites. Most are a bit tight for bigger rigs, but we managed to fit. Walking around the park we saw that the swamp directly across from the campground had been drained. (to restore some of the forest) As we followed the road we found a large picnic area with plenty of tables along the river bank. There is a boat ramp and we saw someone out in a kayak paddling up and down the river. There is a boat ramp with a warning sign not to swim and a possibility of alligators. Further along the road was several very nice cabins to rent. There was a second swamp, this one not drained with a large wooden bridge crossing it. In the middle of the bridge was an amphitheater. From the bridge looking down into the swamp, we saw dozens of turtles swimming about. (I took pictures, but you need to zoom in to see their heads poking out of the water and their bodies under the surface) As we passed the cabins along our walk around the park we discovered a full 18-hole disc golf course. Had we more time, we would have grabbed our discs and tried it out. Alongside the road, we could see that water had recently receded from there and discovered what we later found to be mounds of mud with holes in them made by crawfish digging into the ground as the water evaporated. Being from the Northwest, this was new. Later we searched You-tube and watched a video of someone pushing his arm (up to his shoulder) in a hole and pulling out a crawfish. A second video showed him using a trap in a creek using dry dog food as bait and catching them by the dozen.

Overall, we really liked the park, we met some great people there and would recommend two nights if you’re using it as a stopover on your way down the road. It was $39 and some change per night.

Originally named for the Texas folk hero who traveled extensively in the western reaches of Louisiana, Sam Houston Jones was given its current name in honor of the state's 46th governor, who was instrumental in setting aside this tract of land for the public to enjoy for both day-use and overnight visitors.

Because the caretakers of this 1,087-acre park have worked to keep the land in its natural state, abundant wildlife inhabits the area. Tree-filled lagoons and a mixed pine and hardwood forest combine to create a unique natural environment. The park is located just north of the most productive birding region of Louisiana. The bird watching is always excellent, but at certain times of the year, nearly 200 species of birds can be seen at or within 30 miles of the site.

The numerous waterways in this area make water sports a natural highlight at the park. Two boat launches are conveniently located on the West Fork of the Calcasieu River, providing access to Calcasieu Lake, about 20 miles away. But it's not necessary to fish to enjoy the water. Rental boats are available those who simply wish to take in the serene beauty of the park's ponds. (No-Wake Zone Advisory)

The three hiking trails winding through this beautiful park make strolling or serious hiking, pleasurable. Particularly interesting is the old stagecoach road, which hikers may travel to explore the park and the banks of the various tributaries to the Calcasieu River.

Rocky Fork Ranch Resort

Written by Rick

Rocky Fork Ranch Resort, Kimbolton, Ohio

Fortunately, there isn't a story with the drive to the campground. However, if you follow your GPS when coming from the south, it will take you down a gravel road with low branches. When we arrived we were assigned a 30 amp site which we changed to a 50 at no extra charge. The 30 amp site wouldn't have fit us anyway. The campground is located on the top of a hill overlooking most of the ranch. The resort offers everything from shooting ranges to GaGa (whatever that is) There is also an archery range, a paintball area, an arena for rodeos, a miniature golf course, basketball, horseshoes, disc golf, an outdoor pool, an indoor pool with hot tub, a standard golf course (nearby), tennis court, a nature center, complete with microscopes, golf cart rentals, a store, and more. Our campsite was nice enough. It was in the trees with a full hookup. The roads were a mixture of paved and gravel, but the dust wasn't too bad.

While we were there, we drove down to Salt Fork State Park. It has a campground but we didn't visit that section. We did, however, find the beach and the park's nature center. The park looked as if at one point it was a very happening place, but not so much anymore, but then we were there on a rainy weekday. We did drive through Cambridge and walked around a bit and took a photo of the county courthouse. Overall, we found Ohio beautiful, but it lacked anything much to do.

Rimrock Meadows Resort

Written by Rick

Rimrock Meadows Resort, Palisades, Washington

Rimrock Meadows is a private park and membership is required to use it.

After getting diesel in Wenatchee, WA our GPS gave us a couple of options of getting to Rimrock Meadows, one was twenty miles shorter so we took it. After driving halfway there on this route, the road turned to gravel. Then when we were at the turnoff to the park, the sign for the park was set to be read from the other direction. With our tow car attached, we couldn’t back up and little did we know it was another eight miles before we found a place big enough to turn around. So much for short cuts.

Once there, the park host showed us the sites and we picked one with morning sun and afternoon shade. From what we could tell, the rec area with pool, camping, park setting and other amenities, were incentives for people to purchase acre lots and park their RV’s and build small outbuildings. Being Coast to Coast members, we could camp there for free ($5 for a site with full hookup) The park is an oasis in the middle of the desert. It has shade trees, lots of green grass and one of the nicest pools we’ve come across in our travels. (the first one deep enough to dive in)

I think that the one drawback for the park was that there was nothing close by to visit. However, it was worth the hour plus drive to the Grand Coulee Dam and learn some of the histories of the dam and the area. Most interesting was that ten thousand years ago a glacier in the pan handle of Idaho formed a dam the created a huge lake (Lake Missoula) behind it. Eventually, the ice dam gave way and the lake behind it caused a massive flood covered most of central Washington and Columbia River. It is believed that there was 400’ of water covering Portland, Oregon. For a period of time, the Columbia was routed over what is now called Dry Falls. Dry falls is more than 3 ½ miles long, the largest waterfall in history. Pictured is a comparison to Niagara Falls and a crop from Google Maps.

Ridgeview Resort

Written by Rick

Ridgeview Resort, Bullhead City, Arizona

Our visit to Ridgeview was great. The campground is very well maintained and improvements are evident. We visited in the offseason as the park was fairly empty. When we arrived the park set us up with a nice site, which offered evening shade, which is always a plus when the temperature is above 100 most of the day. The sites are a mixture of sand and gravel and the roads are all paved. To look around at the surrounding desert, you have to appreciate the amount of work that had to go into the campground to make it the resort that it is. The facilities are very nice, especially the pool and spa.

The resort sits on a hill overlooking the Colorado River with Laughlin, Nevada just on the other side. While at the campground we visited the casinos a couple of times but didn't do well. We also took a 45-minute drive up to Oatman, an old mining town where wild burros roam the streets. The old path of Route 66 runs through the town and it has become a fun tourist destination.

Sunrise Adventures Ridgeview Resort is located less than a mile from the captivating Colorado River in Bullhead City, Arizona and is directly across the border from Laughlin, Nevada, where ten casinos offer 24-hour gaming, restaurants, and exciting entertainment and much more. The resort is located less than two hours from Las

Red Desert Rose Campground

Written by Rick

Red Desert Rose Campground

Part of our trip included taking my sister Sandy and her Husband Charles from their daughter Anna’s home in Boise, to one of their other daughter’s (Carrie) graduation from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. As they were in a hurry to get from one place to the other, this only gave me a single night stop over somewhere in Wyoming. I chose Rawlins because it was about two-thirds of the way and I chose the Red Desert Rose because of its 1960’s quirky sign.

As it turned out, the Campground was great. Not much to look at, but the most friend staff ever. We were escorted to our site and then offered a courtesy car. This was a first. They said that there was no need to disconnect our dinghy, we should use their SUV. I disconnected the car anyway because my sister and her husband took off early the next morning to get to an award ceremony for their daughter. Later we walked into Rawlins and had some really good Tai food.

If you reserve a site with a full hookup, you are pretty much set to be in one particular row. The campground was far from full, but that row was. So, I opted for a site without a septic connection in a better location for me. The next morning, for a couple of bucks, I was able to slide into one of the empty sites and dump my tanks. I will return to the campground again and will recommend it based on how friendly the staff was. Plus, I liked the quirkiness of the place.

Ponderosa Falls RV Campground

Written by Rick

Ponderosa Falls RV Campground, Cheney, Washington

Ponderosa Falls is not a public campground, it is a KM resort which welcomes Coast to Coast members.

We arrived at the campground around 9:30 am on a Saturday and had to wait until ten for the office to open. The office assigns sites based on availability and size of rig. They were very friendly and suggested a few sites that we either empty or going to be available by noon and welcomed us to go check them out before deciding. We found a great site that was to be available that morning, so we opted to wait for them to pull out. They did but without their trailer. After a couple of hours of waiting, we picked another site, which turned out just fine. (without the grass) Most of the sites had full hookups and varied in size with plenty of both pull-throughs and back-in sites, along with a few cabins.

The campground had a very nice lodge with some weekend meals. It also had a very small indoor pool, a weight room, and laundry. Outside there was a basketball and pickleball court, horseshoes, a kid’s play area, and one of the better miniature golf courses we’ve seen. Each hole had three holes to choose from. For little kids, there was a small paddle boat pond.

Just a few miles away was the Northern Quest Casino. We checked it out and saw that it had headliners like Donny & Marie. The gaming floor was nice as well. We also drove into Spokane to walk around. The city has some neat history, but what I enjoyed most about the city, is that it’s the site of the 1974 World’s Fair. I was there when I was twelve and some of the old pavilions are still standing. Over the years the city has let the area go, but are currently rebuilding it. I look forward to seeing it again when the construction is complete. The Spokane River runs through the center of the city with several natural waterfalls.

Pine Lake RV Park

Written by Rick

Pine Lake RV Park

Pine Lake was a stop-over park on our way to Disney World so we didn't disconnect the car and explore the area. We checked in on a Sunday and there was no one in the office, but after leaving a phone message, I received a return call directing me to take a site in a general area and check-in the day. That was fine, there were lots of great sites and the park is really beautiful. We took advantage of the small laundromat and did some walking around, but that was it. I'm sure that we will visit this park again and perhaps stay a bit longer to explore the area.

Paradise RV Campground, WA

Written by Rick

Paradise RV Campground, Silver Creek, WA

We pulled into the campground while the gate ranger was working up on top of the water tower. (The camp had a water shortage and was buying more) He greeted us via a radio and told us to go find a spot. (We could see him while we were talking) Paradise is built on a hill so that almost all the sites are pull-throughs carved perpendicular to the hillside leaving tiers. Unfortunately, once you rig is pulled in, there isn’t really much of a level area for a picnic table. The campground offers campsites in the thick woods as well as out in the open. There are also campsites that offered more seclusion because they were located at the bottom of the campground and I just don’t think that most people ventured down there looking for a site. There are a lot of sites that just don’t get much use.

The pools are nice, with the adult pool located next to the family pool and hot tub. The hot tub was big but seemed to be populated with kids who can’t read. There are tennis courts, horseshoes, a basketball court, and there once was shuffleboard. There are two lakes to fish from or to just row around in. The campground has a small store, laundromat, family and adult centers and a large room and area for group activities like bingo and barbecues for lots of people. Overall, the campground was good and one we’ll visit again. We also were able to use our phones and have the internet through AT&T.

From:

Washington is known for its great RV resorts, and Paradise RV Resort is certainly counted among them. Two stocked lakes are perfect for fishermen, while the nearby mountain ranges offer majestic views. Bring your camera! You will want to capture the beauty of the tulip and daffodil fields. Additionally, this beautiful Washington RV camp is located within an easy driving distance of Portland, Oregon and Tacoma, and Yakima in Washington. We are also surrounded by the majestic beauty of Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens.

Paradise Campground, Utah

Written by Rick

Paradise Campground, Panguitch, Utah

Paradise Campground is a small graveled RV park just north of the town of Panguitch, Utah. From there, it was about a thirty-minute drive to Bryce Canyon. While trying to make reservations I was never able to get anyone on the phone at the office, but they did call back. When we got there, the office was closed. A note on the door told us the rates of the sites and to pick a site and then put money in an envelope and slide it under the door. Over the weekend, no one ever did come to the office. The park was in good shape and looked as if someone had spent a lot of time and money into making the campground really nice and then just stopped, not quite finished with the renovations. Speaking with another camper who had stayed there several times in the past, I guess the park has been this way for years. We found the sites very close together, but there were enough empty campsites that people spaced themselves out. We had no neighbors on either side so it wasn't bad. With the campground being above 6000 feet and it being late September we did wake up to below freezing temperatures.

We arrived at the early enough that we decided to head up to Bryce Canyon that day so that we could leave the cold and head south a day earlier. On the way to Bryce, we drove through Red Canyon and stopped at the visitor's center. Red Canyon is separate from Bryce Canyon and has many hiking trails. Don't make the mistake of asking questions about Bryce Canyon at the wrong visitor's center. When we arrived at Bryce Canyon, we parked at the shuttle bus center outside of the park. We then rode the shuttle into the park, stopping at the visitor's center and then at Bryce Point. From there we could view the main cathedral. The other shuttle stops we more points along the rim of this same cathedral, so we walked most of the rim. There are several trails that lead down into the canyon. Had we more time, better shoes on, and better weather, we would have done more hiking. The rim is over 8000 feet and with the wind, it wasn't very warm that day.

On our second day, we decided to drive up to Cedar Breaks National Monument. The drive up there was beautiful. The birch trees were bright yellow mixed in with the dark evergreens. When we arrived at the rim, we were above 10,000 feet and looking out to the west was a thick cloud cover below us. We were able to view most of Cedar Breaks despite the clouds. At the park's visitor center a couple of young ladies thought it would be cool to have photos taken while standing on top of a fence with a drop of several thousand feet behind them. From what we've seen, it's a wonder more tourist don't lose their lives from trying to get that perfect photo shot. Just down the road, we pulled into Duck Creek Village for lunch. Duck Creek is a haven for ATV'rs and around the area are scores of trails to ride. The area east of Cedar Breaks was made up of several individual peaks and the geography of the land formation was a combination Cclaron Limestone (like Bryce Canyon & Cedar Breaks) and black lava rock. Like we found in Oregon and Washington in places the liver of lava flowing through the cooler rock forming lava tubes. After our visit to Duck Creek, we stopped at one of these tubes, Mammoth Cave.

We left there on a Sunday morning heading further south to warmer weather, to get there we had to cross a mountain pass that was covered in a dusting of snow. Two hours later we were setting up camp in Leeds on a sunny 70-degree afternoon.
