Today was a travel day. We will regret leaving the Remote Outpost RV Park. They are located in a gorgeous place along the Coquille River. The campground is maintained by Edie and Rob, the owners, and they do a terrific job. There is a pavilion campers can use with full cooking facilities (stoves and barbecues – all stainless and shiny) in addition to cushioned seating, a massive fireplace and all of it under a heavy timber framed roof. The grass is mowed everywhere. RV sites have full hookups. The price is very reasonable. There are cute cabins for non-RV types. The roads are terrific. The wifi is a bit touchy but the camping spots near the pavilion have good internet access. About the only drawback is the nearby OR-42 but it seems deserted at night so sleeping was easy. This is probably the best maintained and visually attractive park we have ever stopped in during our journeys, to date.
We pulled the Barbarian Invader on OR-42 northbound through Remote, Bridge, Myrtle Point and Coquille before joining up with US-101 a few miles south of Coos Bay where my spouse was born and where I worked for 10 years logging for Weyerhaeuser back when saber-toothed tigers roamed around. We continued through town and passed through North Bend and Reedsport before pulling off at South Jetty Thousand Trails across the Siuslaw River from Florence, OR.
