Boulder Creek RV Resort
Site #16
Lone Pine, California
Duration: 3 nights
Cost: $40.50 per night (AAA rate)
I got up early in order to catch the sunrise over the mountains. It didn't disappoint!
We enjoyed a slow morning, breaking camp sometime before lunch, and headed down the hill to the west end of town. We relocated all of 11 miles to a nearby RV park after learning of the day's forecast for strong wind gusts (predicted for 50 mph). We felt the park would give us a little protection from the wind, plus it gave us a chance to do some laundry.
The "resort" offers full hookups, level pad (sand), concrete patio with a picnic table, and a fire ring at each site. We had some shade, which was nice since it was fairly warm during the day. In addition to the laundry facilities, there is also a pool and hot tub, free showers, and a large store with all sorts of groceries and souvenirs. Cell service (Sprint and Verizon) was decent, as was the free Wi-Fi. We had a relaxing afternoon, going on a couple of walks, and catching up on email and social media.
Beautiful sunrise.
Our site at the end of the row.
Tomorrow's plan is to visit the Manzanar National Historic Site.

Those mountains are gorgeous! I understand why you cover your windows but I'm curious about the covers on your wheels.
ReplyDeleteKathy, we do it to protect the tires from the effects of UV rays. Heat and UV rays can cause premature cracking in the tire sidewalls.
ReplyDeleteAren't those mountains beautiful?! I loved camping there.
Beautiful sunrise! I can't wait to see the pictures from the national park!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Iliana. Sometimes it's tough to get out of bed for a sunrise, but this one was so gorgeous, I'm glad I made the effort.
DeleteManzanar was a very moving experience. I didn't take a ton of pictures, but I will have some to share in my next post.
That RV park looks great! I'm going to remember it for our next trip along 395. It's nice to have full-hookups and laundry facilities every so often. :-)
ReplyDeleteLaurel, the owners call it an RV resort, but I would say it's more of an RV park. When I think of a "resort," I think of a golf cart escort to our site, curbside trash pickup every morning, huge 50 foot concrete pads, etc. It may be that since this place has a pool and hot tub (and cabin rentals!), they consider it a resort. There were free muffins and coffee in the clubhouse every morning, too. ;) Thankfully, the nightly rate was more in line with a park rather than a resort.
