Hey y'all! So this morning brings rain showers again, but the State Park we are in has got to be the best one yet. It's Nehalem Bay State Park just outside of Manzanita, OR.
Here are the details:
Every site has power and water, all sites are back-in, paved and have a 10ft x 30+ft grassy area with a picnic table and multiple Manzanita (I'm guessing) trees for good shade coverage/wind blockage. There are 2 bathrooms in the "non-reservation" part of the park and they also have free hot water showers (separated male/female). Now granted you can't see the ocean from any campsite, and there are only 2-3 trails through the huge sand dunes to the ocean, but the view from atop the dunes is amazing! The ocean in front and a completely hidden by the trees State Park behind you. Other than distant houses, you'd think you're miles from civilization.
We forgot the camera, but were able to watch an awesome sunset last night. There are 2 bike trails as well as horse trails and even a horse camp and a small craft landing strip. The only thing it doesn't have is wifi, but cell phones have the 4G LTE service. (Not really sure what that means other than reception is great......)
There are around 250 or so sites in the park, but they aren't crowded like some of the parks we have seen/been in. Half of the sites are reservation only, and the other half is first come - first serve. The crazy part of it all is that you get all this for $29/night. The cheapest we have paid so far is $22/night, but that is no power, water, or showers! We might stay here for a bit! The only thing else we need is a surf board and a wetsuit for TJ and a boogie board and wetsuit for Lucas. We are gonna see about doing some bartering for those, we will let you know.
Well I'm off to the shower, then breakfast. God Bless y'all and have a great day!
