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

Lake Minden RV Resort, Nicolaus, CA

Our Visit

    Lake Minden was a campground of convenience.  It was on our way north and it is fairly close to where our daughter lives.  Again our GPS detoured us around the quick and easy way to the campground, but this time it only added a mile or two.  The ranger at check-in was very nice.  She reached across the counter to shake our hands.  The campground is nice and well taken care of.

Lake Minden on the map burnedWe camped in Section D on the other side of the lake.  Unfortunately, all the sites are 30 amps with no septic.  We got set up and took a walk around the lake.  We saw several people fishing along the bank of the lake.  There are two nice sections for dry camping and two sections with hook-ups, only Section A near the lodge has septics.  The park does have a restaurant that is seasonal and wasn't open during our stay in March.  On the second day, we drove to Grass Valley to have lunch with our daughter and her boyfriend.

Campground number one hundred thirty-one.
