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.

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

Cactus Gardens RV Resort, Yuma, AZ

Our Visit

     Cactus Gardens is an Encore RV park and our first “Trails Collection” resort. It is also our first 55+ resort. The first thing we noticed and liked about the park was that the roads were paved and all the RV’s and park-models were all neatly lined-up. The park rates run around $300 a week, but with the Trails Collection added to our Thousand Trails membership, the park was free and we stayed for two weeks.

Cactus Gardens Map Copper burned      The RV sites are very tight, but they all have full hookups with 50 amps including cable. It’s a really great community with lots of things going on from water-volleyball to cards, dancing, breakfasts, lunches, dinner, darts, shuffleboard, horseshoes, and many others. They are lacking pickleball courts though. We walked the park and their sister park next door (Desert Paradise) every day, meeting people at every turn. Both parks are Encore parks and are very similar. We floated back and forth between them daily. We met one couple using their Trails Collection membership to jump between the two parks every four days so that they would never have a timeout week. One two sides of the park were alleys not being used by cars but by dog walkers. With both sides having concrete walls they were designed for water run-off. They are wide and long so that dogs could get off-leash and run. Overall, we loved the park and the people made us feel very welcome. We are looking forward to returning there in the future.
     While in Yuma, we took advantage of the inexpensive dental work in Los Algodones. The campground had a 5% off coupon for Baja Dental. We called around and found that their prices were better than most so we decided to use them for cleaning and possibly a bridge for me. The office was very clean and modern. The staff was very professional and the doctors seemed very experienced. I was sold and decided to have the bridge work done there. They went from cleaning mode to x-ray mode, to prepping the side two teeth for the bridge without the doctor every leaving my side. In a very short time, I was out of there with two new temporary caps and an appointment to return in a couple of days for a bridge. On the second trip, the bridge was fit and refit and polished so that my bite was perfect. That took less than twenty minutes in the chair. I have had the bridge for a week now and can’t tell that it’s not my real teeth. All my fears of going to Mexico to have dental work done are gone. The cost of everything was just over $600, about ¼ of what my dentist in Portland quoted me after insurance. Plus the process would have required two or three visits to Portland and over a month’s time to get all the work done.

Campground number seventy-three.

Ridgeview Resort

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

The area is known for 360 days of sunshine a year that allows numerous outdoor recreation activities year-round, which makes Ridgeview RV Resort one of the premier RV destinations in the country!  Vegas, and one hour from the famous London Bridge in Lake Havasu City. The Resort offers countless amenities like a large Clubhouse where various family and fun activities are held, a swimming pool and jacuzzi to relax after a long day. There’s Shuffleboard, Hiking Trails, Vacation Rentals and much more!

     In addition to the Colorado River, you also have the opportunity to play on the pristine waters of Lake Mohave that is located minutes north of the Resort. With the abundance of water play space on the Colorado River and Lake Mohave, there is a wide variety of activities available near Ridgeview RV Resort.

     Bullhead City and Laughlin both offer some of the best Shopping in the area with Malls and various stores located minutes from the Resort. If golf is a highlight of your Ridgeview Resort vacation, then we have you covered at one of the many golf courses the Bullhead City/Laughlin area has to offer.
