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

Catalina Spa RV Resort, Desert Hot Springs, CA

Our Visit

    We spent a week at Catalina Spa Resort.  It is a nice park with top of the line facilities.  It has two beautiful pools and two very large spa tubs all of which are very warm an are non-chlorinated.  The pickleball courts, shuffleboard courts, horseshoe pits, and the miniature golf course are all in great condition.  There is a new lodge with a store, shower rooms, and workout center.  I have to say a lot of work and pride is put into the park.  They are in the process of installing two good size solar arrays and are continually working on the park.

Catalina Spa on the map burnedOn the flip side of that, like Coast to Coast members, we were charged an extra $18.50 a night for a “park fee” members are charged $15, and the public is charged $45 and up.  When we checked into the park, I would guess it was about 1/3 occupied, and still, they assigned us a site without giving us a choice right between two other occupied sites.  As it turned out, both our neighbors were great.  The other thing we disliked about the park, was that it wasn’t close to anything.  As nice as the park is, the “resort fee” after paying thousands for a membership is probably our biggest deterrent from us returning.
