$15,000 Picked up in April of 2011. We have done a lot of camping in this unit but it is well cared for and garaged when not in use. We went for a basic build with more storage and no TV/air conditioner. The electric brakes have been recently serviced and pads replaced. Really hate to let the...

Located in the center of Washington state this park is right off of I-90 as you cross the Columbia river. The Petrifed forest is just a few miles of trail on a hillside with displays of various fossilized trees found on site but it's still pretty nice. The campground is located just south of...

Great tide pooling at low tide. Crater lake, pictures just don't do it justice. Redwood groves have always made me smile. Landscape Arch: the longest natural arch in the world. Arches NP has some amazing geology. The General Sherman sequoia, the largest tree by volume on the planet. We've...

I know, I know this is far from gourmet but in my effort to find something quick and easy that my boys would eat while camping I reached into my past and pulled out this Army favorite. You could start from scratch but for simplicity and speed it's hard to beat the following. One box of mac and...

Part of camping with a teardrop is road tripping and part of road tripping is rest stops. How do you feel about the rest areas in the different states you have traveled through? Here are a few of my grades from recent trips. STATE GRADE North Dakota A Beautiful rest areas...

Large beautiful campground. Wonderful trail system leads to beaches, mountain tops, swimming holes and dunes. The beaches were beautiful and we saw a constant stream of boats and people fishing. This is more correctly called Deception Passage since it refers to the waterway and...

Big trees are the hallmark of this temperate rainforest, such as this Sitka Spruce. The trail system is wonderful with three very easy trails that have wonderful sights on them and a much longer trail for backpackers or serious day hikers. Lots of these large trees started out...

Camp sites can be small along the bluff overlooking the ocean Easy beach access, huge beach for hiking and playing I've seen Kalaloch rated as Washingtons number 1 campground in several reviews and books. While it isn't my personal number 1 it is very nice. The beach access is...

This is a very nice state park within easy driving distance to Seattle, especially when using the ferry. We spent three nights here and drove into Seattle for a day at the childrens museum. Nice facilities and showers and a small store for ice, wood, and "stuff". The campground also has a...

Seems like a stupid question but what does everyone use as an alarm clock in their camper? I never even considered one but I realized an alarm clock would be nice on those mornings you want to get an early start either hiking, fishing or driving. I've been looking for a battery operated alarm...

First night spent in the Camp-inn parking lot! Smokey Mts, the least used pieces if camping gear, the chairs were never unpacked again. Smokey Mts hike, Deep Creek Nice campsites at Grayton Beach Very nice beach (just ignore the condos in the distance) Big tom turkey at Iowa Campground...

Camp-Inn #408 560 raindrop is completed and I just mailed in the final check so it's mine! :D I'll be picking it up April 7th or 8th depending on how quickly we make the drive from Spokane. I'd better get a busy installing my hitch! We are leaving Necedah with the trailer for a long trip so...

I was very excited to visit the Palouse Falls but I'm glad I didn't plan on camping there. The campground is primitive and little more than a small parking lot. There are trails along the palouse and snake rivers which may make it worthwhile to visit though and the falls themselves are very...

Not every campground is a vacation destination spot but nice for a weekend outing, this is one of those. This is located half an hour north of Spokane WA. I have yet to actually camp here but I have visited and will camp here next summer with the raindrop. The campground is fairly primitive...

Steamboat Rock is not what a lot of people consider typical NW camping, never the less it is a great place to visit. It is situated on Banks lake which is a fishing haven for small mouth bass. The grand coulee dam is close by to tour and the dam has lazer light shows at night which are pretty...

I was going through my camping pictures and thought I'd make a couple entries for everyone. Olympic NP is a wonderful destination vacation. It can be a wet experience but if you are able to get there in July and August and have a little luck with the weather it is wonderful. There are...

I have a request, I will be picking up our 560 raindrop in April 2011 and we are not getting either AC or the TV. I was hoping someone could post a picture of the cabin of a 560 without the AC and TV options. It seems like every picture I've come across of the inside of a 560 cabin has both...

Hi everyone, We just got back from tent camping in Glacier and we had some very noisy neighbors. My wife and I were wondering just how much quieter it will be in a 560? I would think a little with the hard sides but if the vent, skylight and door vents are open is a teardrop/raindrop really...

Hello everyone, I'm a little late with the greeting since I've already been posting but I was waiting until we actually got our raindrop ordered. We will be picking it up in April! I wish we had gotten the chance to actually tour one before buying but I can't wait to get it and take the...
