RV Park Reviews

We stayed at a golf course resort while in Chehalis

The RV park we found in Chehalis was at a golf course.  It was small with about 25 spaces, and was literally right next to the course.  The area where we were had a high net right behind the trailers in case of golf balls, and players often came right behind the trailer when they would hit into the rough on the hole there.

Jeff really enjoyed staying there as he could walk the dog along the course and lots of people would come up to pet Laddy and talk.  I enjoyed it as the road was very quiet – golf course on one side, small airport on the other and the road dead-ended about a 1/2 mile down.  So, I could walk along the road and rarely have cars pass!

The weekend that we were there they held a golf tournament, so the golf course was pretty busy, but it was fun to watch the activity.  We were planning to stay just one week but Jeff broke a tooth and we stayed a couple of extra days so he could get in to see a local dentist.  It didn’t hurt, he said, but we didn’t want to chance it breaking more or getting infected in the root.

Dog Park Reviews

Nice dog park in Centralia, WA (near Chehalis where we stayed)

While staying in Chehalis we looked for nearby dog parks, as we always do, and found a nice one in Centralia, just a few miles away.  The Fort Borst Park is heavily forested so the whole park is nice and cool and shady.  The dog park is in one of the few places with some sun but it still had plenty of shade.  Laddy enjoyed it!  We did have to leave early once as a guy showed up with a friendly German Shepard, but he kept jumping up on Laddy and Laddy really doesn’t like that and would get aggressive on the other dog.  We were a bit surprised at the aggressiveness in him and decided to leave.  Oh well, dogs will be dogs!  Here’s the link to the BringFIdo.com review I wrote: http://www.bringfido.com/attraction/2463/#reviews.

RV Park Reviews

RV Parks in West Yellowstone – we’ve been to three of them

We’re here in West Yellowstone for a full month, and when we made reservations the first place we called only had availability the 1st through the 12th of June.  So we found another RV park in town that had availability the 12th through the 30th.

The first RV Park was Hideaway RV Park, right in town.  It was very small but clean and nice.  The spaces were adequate.  We were very comfortable there.

We moved on the 12th to Buffalo Crossing RV Park, also right in town.  It’s a fairly new RV park but we didn’t like it.  They have a rule that Laddy could not be left in the trailer alone, EVER.  Also, the whole park is deep gravel which is uncomfortable to walk in and gets tracked into the trailer by Laddy and Jeff’s boots.  And, they only have 3 channels (no cable) and they aren’t channels we watch, and with no Redbox in town we had very little choice for TV/movies during our downtime.  So, after 2 days we moved to Lionshead RV Park which is a few miles out of town but really nice, pretty scenery and setting and very nice managers.

Here are our reviews of these RV parks:

Restaurant Reviews

Lunch at the Roosevelt Lodge in Yellowstone

We plan to pack a lunch sometimes when we visit Yellowstone, but we decided yesterday to eat a the dining room of the Roosevelt Lodge.  It was Great!

Jeff had a bison burger and declared it wonderful.  Less fatty than most beef and with a nice taste.  I had smoked trout on baguette slices (really an appetizer) and it was also really good.

If you visit Yellowstone, we both recommend you eat there for either a lunch or a dinner.  Here’s their website: http://www.yellowstonenationalparklodges.com/roosevelt-lodge-dining-room-7198.html
