The absolute BEST hamburger EVER! We had burgers for Thanksgiving there once... hard to get a site these days unless you book months in advance though - darn.

Enjoyed the video. Nice and slowly down so I could see the sites.

One of the best places on earth. Used to go there in 70s and 80s.

It is a really cool place! Can get super windy though... we actually ate two Jalama burgers the last time here - I never eat wheat, but did eat the bun both days. Watching the train cross the trestle, especially at dusk is worth the noise. Thanks for watching!

What beautiful colors all around you! And you could probably hear the Pacific lapping at the shore. Very NICE!! Since you like this I have an idea you would like Kelly's Brighten Marina & RV in Rockaway Beach, Oregon. It is a very small RV park without many amenities. All sites (which are reservable) have water and electric but it is the view that is so fabulous. We backed in and out our back was the water. People come from all over to go clamming here. Or you can just buy some roasted clams and there is your dinner. The RV sites are close together and the higher numbers are best. There are also some gorgeous tent sites - some of the best we have seen. Thanks again for your videos!! Love them!

Thanks for the kind words and the suggestion! We usually head for State or County parks instead of RV parks, but do like the little mom & pop style so will add Kelly's to our list to check out. I think buying clams sounds about right for us - ha ha! Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

Super helpful thanks!

I love watching all of your videos but I was super interested to see this one. I used to go there years ago, like 36 years ago, it has been built up a lot since I was there last. When I used to go there the entire road in was not paved so most times there were not many people there. I need to go back, thanks for sharing this wonderful spot and taking me down memory lane!

I reserved a bit in advance off season (early November) and took one of the less popular sites. Now it seems you have to reserve 6 months in advance... ugh. Hope you are able to get a couple of sites!

Just subscribed and started watching your informative videos. Enjoyed but I would suggest possibly turning down the background music. If it were instrumental it would be easier to hear your narration over it. Just a suggestion.

@@TravelSmallLiveBig I was at Farewell Bend, but it was super cold and nobody was camping there. So I decided to stay at a state park campground further down instead bc I felt safer there. But the Farewell Bend campground is beautiful. Tuttle Creek I also know. Whitney Portal I may enjoy even a little more. Eastern part of the country I never camped. I probably like the Lower Lehman Creek campground, Indian Cove Campground and would maybe add Twin Lakes to that bc of what there is to do there. But I haven't traveled as much as you.
