Our first trip in our new trailer is in the books! Marty and I recently purchased a 2015 Keystone Cougar 28 RBS. This is an exciting time for us as we plan to hit the road on many adventures! Our first trip was to Newport Dunes. We had an incredible time with our family and friends.
We spent 2 weeks at the Dunes over the 4th of July holiday. The fireworks show is amazing! We have decided to make this our new family tradition. Throughout our stay we visited Balboa Island, rented pedal boats, swam daily in the pool and in the bay, played games, and had a fire on most nights.
Campground Review:
This is an expensive campground. The rates are $300 a night for beach front during the summer months. To be honest, we have stayed all over, and we have found that beach front is the most enjoyable. It's nice to have a cup of coffee in the morning overlooking the water. The facilities are clean, and there are lot's of activities for the kids to enjoy. Devlin played on the beach every day, all day and we could watch him from our lounge chairs on the site. As a business owner who works constantly, it was nice to be able to watch my kids play and enjoy themselves while I was on the computer or making phone calls. The wifi is on the weak side. In order to perform my daily tasks, I relied heavily on my hotspot.
I have to warn you that the sites are very close together, and this place is not for everyone. My family has been camping here for over 30 years, so we have lots of fond memories of the place. In fact, Marty grew up camping here as well during the same time period. He and I could have run into each other on multiple occasions and never knew it. Haha!
As new travel trailer owners, we enjoyed how friendly everyone was at the Dunes and how close it was to home. We have so much to learn but we are so excited for all the adventures to come. Our next trip is up the coast in a few weeks. I plan to blog about all our adventures on the road!
