Faria Beach

I think Faria Beach may be my new favorite campground!  It is run by the county of Ventura and is just south of Rincon Parkway.  It only has 42 spaces, 15 of which have full hookups.  Its a cozy little park and probably crowded in the summer time.  But in the off season its roomy and great!  We walked along the beach and found sand dollars and tons of shells and had a great time.  We even found a star fish on the beach which we carefully put back in the surf.  We examined the tide pools at low tide and saw sea snails and hermit crabs and sea anemones.  We watched dolphins play in the surf and even saw a seal.  I love staying so close to the water, and I love the sound of the waves crashing so close at high tide.  We will definitely be back!

Our First Nights in the Trailer

  We're just home from our shake-down trip!  We had a fabulous time at San Clemente State Beach.  The first night was windy, rainy and cold, but we were warm and cozy in our trailer.  We even celebrated a 7th birthday and I was so thrilled to be able to bake a cake in my RV!  On night number 2 I cooked a fantastic corn bread (Thanks Tammy!).  I love camping with an oven!  The beach was great, though windy and cold.  We were able to make a list of things we want to add to the trailer, from a butter dish to an electric tongue jack.  All the systems work great, and we had no issues with the trailer.  Next stop:  Rincon Parkway!
