We felt lucky to have found the Casini Ranch Family Campground, in Duncans Mills, to stay at for the wedding…it could not have been any more convenient. The park is what is says, a “FAMILY CAMPGROUND”. I have never seen so many kids in campground before! And because of all the kids, EVERYONE obeys the 7 mph speed limit, that is for sure…or kids would be run over.
This is the first campground where I think the tents outnumbered the RVs over the weekend. LOTS and LOTS of tents. By today (Monday) the RVs outnumber the tents…and the park is only 40% full…waiting for another Friday to show up with a crowd of people. We have an electric and water site, and for our four night stay it ran us around $230…which included a $2 per day per pet fee, and 50% discount for Sunday and Monday nights due to Passport America. Now that is like nearly 3 weeks of staying up at Huntley Park…and there we did not have to deal with the kids…did I mention there are LOTS of kids here?
But we were here for family reasons…it was a great wedding, great to see the kids all together again, and always hard to say goodbye…as Stephanie and Ryan are doing in the picture above.
Those who stayed over for Saturday night were down at the River Sunday. Marcia stayed at the motorhome since walking on the rocks was not going to happen for her…and I went down there just long enough to have a very slight sunburn on my forehead, and to enjoy the company of family. Got back to the Campground and found it to be less crowded, much quieter, and time for us to just sit back and rest up for the trip back to Sacramento on Tuesday.
A longtime blog follower, Kim and her husband Chuck came by this evening to meet us. They too have a Dynamax Isata, but theirs is a newer, longer, diesel version where the front end looks more like a truck where ours looks more like a van. Anyway, they live over in Occidental, just past where the wedding was held, and both work in Santa Rosa. It was sure nice meeting them, and Kim that jerky you gave us is fantastic! Thank you so very much...
Oh my gosh ... that's an expensive park ... and you have all those kids to boot!! Looks like you have a pretty good spot! Would LOVE going down the river in a tube!! Hang in there, soon you will be back where it's quiet!!
ReplyDelete"IF" one wants to use the park and stay away from the kids, come in on a Sunday or Monday for two nights using Passport America, and it is not that bad...but weekends are very busy...many kids, so many, they have a playground with one of those bounce thingy that the kids love (and love to scream as they use it), and they can rent this bikes that like a trike on steroids, and...well, you got the picture.
DeleteHey Dave,
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to meet you, Marcia, Scruffy and Bubba and sharing stories of the road and life. Glad you enjoyed the jerky.
Kimberly
