Arkansas Campground report

[BackofBeyond]

COE MAUMELL, great corps Campground,  our spot was river edge. $13 with parks pass. Clean, well maintained. Roadways weren't as busy as they normally would be, must be the pandemic.

$13 and a rainbow was included.  Now that’s a bargain.

I usually do minimal planning, but given the situation, I have done a little pre-planning as to where are we staying  - tomorrow - as compared to hey its 5pm, what do you want to do. So I have been using Campendium as my sourcing app. It certainly is handy - but I've come to understand one persons 4 star is another's  - stay away at all costs.  

We like to boondock, and do HH when possible, but the heat was pretty intense in OK, NM this week, and thus needed some shore power - I may have to break down and buy a gen set..... (Have I ever mentioned I hate the Dometic AC)  So - one place in OK, Territory Route  66 RV in Bridgeport OK was one night - nice country location, owners are just building the park, low key, low budget, but decent place. Great location to ride the bike down old 66. 

NM was a little more challenging, seems C-19 is keeping a few places closed. Had planned to HH - but the temps were just a little out there - ended up just outside Albuquerque - Turquoise Trail - just passable- and more $$ than it was worth - All the facilities are closed (Covid) but still want normal rates. Temps worked out - low 60 for morn.....mmmmm.

Seems a lot of places are half full with permanent "guests" - I never noticed previously.

Headed to elevation - it seems the roads are not as busy as past years - diesel is much cheaper - low was $1.61 - and about 1/2 people are C-19 aware.

Still - the Ollie is earning its keep.

Have a good day all!

We just returned from Colorado through New Mexico.  I had hope to stay at NM Parks or COE but everything there was still closed.  I looked at staying at Turquoise Trail but changed our route at the last minute and headed south through Roswell.  Stayed at RD Barn RV Park - small, family run, $28.  Recommend it for an overnight stop.  We’d been running our heater in Colorado and then hit the heat in NM!

Fuel prices are great right now.  Have a good trip!  Mike
