Loon Lake Lodge and RV Resort – Reedsport, OR
(1 visitors have rated this campground.)
Loading ...My family has a travel trailer that we hitch to our truck and travel just about anywhere we want to go. We have two pre-teen boys and they just love to camp out. After doing a little research we discovered that Loon Lake Lodge had hookups for our camper and they also had tent sites and yurts. The boys wanted to pitch a tent, but we got them a yurt for themselves. It had bunkbeds which was much better for them than sleeping on the ground – in my opinion anyway. They even had a little refrigerator where they could keep their water and soft drinks cold and a microwave for evening popcorn snacks.
Our site was perfect for our needs. We are pretty much self contained, but we did need to be near the facilities. Which we were. The boys rented a paddleboat one afternoon and their father took them fishing every morning. Then one evening we had an early dinner and drive the few miles to the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area. The brochure said one of the best times to see the heards was right before sundown, do we parked and had a great vantage point. It was very educational for the boys to see wildlife as it should be – without interference from humans.
In our camper area we met some very nice people and the boys also found some children their own ages to pal around with. Everyone was friendly, including the management. There isn’t anything they could have done to make us feel more welcome. Our set up was easy and worry-free.
Halesford Harbour RV Park – Moneta, VA
(1 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...Halesford Harbour is pretty cool. My husband and I took a little trip to Smith Mountain Lake to check this place out.
We found the motel to be clean and nicely decorated. The restaurant (Jakes Place) has a really nice Jambalaya and Mahi-Mahi. I think its probably one of the best on the lake. The RV park was not completed yet but I believe they are taking reservations for the June opening. It’s really nice and there is lots of space for the kids to run around, go fishing, and boating.
I think it is the best Smith Mountain Lake RV park but that is just my opinion. If you love Smith Mountain Lake and the surrounding areas you will love Halesford Harbour.
Yosemite Pines RV Park – Groveland, CA
(1 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...Our family has taken our RV on the road so we can enjoy our stay where ever we are. We have room for five to sleep comfortable. I just loved Yosemite RV Park! We had a choice of full hook-ups or just water/electricity. We selected the full hookup because the costs were so reasonable.
There were quite a few other RV families like us, and everyone got together and had a fine time. Our children met others the same age and were able to swim and play sports together. We met people we will stay in contact with. When the kids were out using up their energy, us more sedate folks took in a movie.
Yosemite RV Park has something for everyone it seems. They have these huts and places to pitch a tent. They have very nice cabins that sleep up to 10 or 12. And you get to choose what kind of slot you want for your RV. Since we didn’t have to worry about it being too warm, we choose a place where we had beautiful outdoor views.
The staff and management were very accommodating. They told us about things we could do in the area as well as just visiting Yosemite. When we drove through Yosemite it was more than I expected. The snow capped mountains looked like they should be in a Hollywood movie. The kids were interested in all the Indian names for cities and creeks.
We had our own fire pit where we could cook out and different folks took turns cooking for the others. It was wonderful! Yosemite RV Park has a very homey feeling for those who are away from their actual homes.
Yogi’s Jellystone Park – Emporia, VA
(1 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Emporia is a great campground!
They have nice clean bathrooms and showers and the nicest folks you will find anywhere. They were very accommodating and helpful when we ran into some mechanical issues with our new coach. They are right off I-95 making it an easy on easy off stop over.
I look forward to going back to spend more time at this great park!
Loon Lake Lodge and RV Resort – Reedsport, OR
(1 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...I like to avoid weekend getaways that are too close to the highway and one of my friends recommended the Loon Lake Lodge in Reedsport, Oregon for its peaceful ambience.
We drove from the Eugene airport and were greeted by a herd of elk grazing away unperturbed by the curious onlookers. That set the tone for the trip which was one of the best we have had in recent times. Loon Lake is a great place. It’s easily accessible and yet, has a natural aura about it. Coming back to the resort, we are a family of 3. But we chose a riverfront cottage. It has a deck that overlooks the lake and there’s nothing like having a drink hearing the loons in the distance. Just melts the stress away. The cottage was very spacious and well furnished. The kitchen was well stocked. And the linen was clean and fresh.
The marina area has different types of boats for rental and we spent some time in a Pontoon boat which was a first for the kid. I tried by hand at Canoeing but it was a lot more difficult than it seems. The kid was also introduced to fishing. Her first time and she caught her first fish within minutes.
If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place with great services that wont drain your pocket, then this is it.
