  • Oak Grove Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Moab UT
  • One more in the string of handy, heavily used campgrounds up the Colorado River on Utah 128 from Moab. This one is past Drinks Canyon CG, and right before Big Bend CG. It's very small, 7 sites. So named I think, because sites 6 and 7 re hidden away in a little grove of scrub oak.

  • Camas Hot Springs
  • private business Hot Springs MT
  • Pretty funky. The lesser of the two hot springs in the eponymous town, but it's the first one I came to, so it's the one I went to. I enjoyed it immensly! The other is Symes, which looked to have a small pool and a hotel! I am intrigued for some future trip!

  • Lower Little Truckee Campground
  • Tahoe National Forest, Truckee CA
  • On good ole CA 89 a few miles north of Truckee. Drove by here many times, finally staying. Boring but handy! There are two campgrounds here about a mile apart, Lower Little Truckee and Upper Little Truckee. Theis not difference between them.

  • Oak Creek Campground
  • Fishlake National Forest, Torrey UT
  • Elevation 8,800'. Small, very handy campground in the high mountains Route 12 traverses between Boulder and Torrey. All the other campgrounds up here are closed for the season.

  • Tioga Lake Campground
  • Inyo National Forest, Lee Vining CA
  • Elevation: 9,700 ft The first campground after leaving Yosemite at Tioga Pass. You see the lake pretty much when you leave the park, and the campground is near where the lake level used to be before climate change and the LA Water Authority stole all the water. There is a spectacular view up the valley and some way down the valley. It was full at 5:30 on a September Monday, Most of the sites are paired up, their two parking places together then separate paths to the picnic table and tent area for each. Not the greatest for van living, although the parking spot net to #2 is good.

  • Dos Reis Regional Campground
  • San Joaquin County Parks, Lathrop CA
  • A very handy, odd little campground. Two miles off of I-5, right up against the (quite tall) levee on the San Joaquin River. You can see and the interestate far off in the distance across the farmland.
