Next time we're down that way I'll have to pull in and scout out that campground. I'm not sure that they have any sites that will accommodate our trailer length, truck included, at about 50 feet. Nothing available recently anyways, when I was looking for open spots a few weeks ago.
It's a fun park! You do have to fight to get reservations in the good spots. We started rating the campsites this year for how well they do a big tent, the boat, and two vehicles. Looks like I'm moving to Newport here, though, so I'm probably not going to need to stay there anymore. I'd like to camp at Silver Falls once, and eventually do a Yellowstone trip.
Honeyman State Park this weekend. Neat spot next to some serious sand dunes just outside of Florence Oregon. Not a beach park, since it's a couple miles from the ocean, but there is access to the dunes directly from the campground. Folks with Quads and other ORV's can camp in a loop with direct access to the dunes. Kids probably covered double digit miles on their bicycles while we were there, so a good time getting away.
How'd you guys let this one die? Let me live through you!
Fully winterized already. Snow is on the ground.
Well I've just replaced my decade old sleeping bag with a warm-ass one from Feathered Friends, so I'm going yurt camping next weekend!
Booked a few nights at a nearby state park during spring break. Will be nice to get away for a few days. We've been holding travel vouchers we had from canceling our spring break Maui trip in 2020, but I'm not certain we can convince our 3 y/o to wear a mask through the whole flight(if at all). So we're working on full refunds at this point. Trailer has been winterized since mid October. I'll be hand packing the axles with grease in early March.
Our early October trip to the coast. South Beach State Park, Newport Oregon.
We also crammed in a Montana, Idaho tour early last summer. Plus a trip to Crater Lake in July. Below is my mileage and MPG after the Montana trip in June.
And a random photo from my mom's house in Montana, where we set up our travel trailer next to the barn for a week or so.

No no no no no. You just made me look at my nice down sleeping bag in a completely different light. I think I picked it up in the fall of 2007. It's like when I use to look at my parents backpacking gear as a kid and think how old it is. I'm the parent now.
I love the South Beach park! Live right by it now!
