Shortly after 10:00 AM this morning we set out to move from the Vines RV Resort in Paso Robles to Morgan Hill TT near Gilroy, garlic capital of the world. It was a nice, uneventful drive up 101 through emerald green pastures and oak forests to Gilroy where we turned off on some city streets and then some rural roads and finally pulled into Morgan Hill TT. The park is located at the foot of some green, grassy hills with a waterway named Uvas Creek flowing through the campground. Paving is a bit substandard and there is evidence of some drainage issues as some of the sites were mud quagmires.
Morgan Hill TT has mostly 30 amp sites and the water works well but they have no sewer connections. Although we camp for 21 days free at most TT campgrounds, we will be obliged to pay $25 three times during our stay here so the management can come around with their honey wagon and suck that which we don’t want from our trailer. Morgan Hill also seems to have a bunch of folks who appear to be living here which seems strange since stays are limited to 21 days before elite members like us are obliged to leave the park. Fourteen days is the limit for those with regular memberships so I am having a hard time figuring how a few of the residents have large Dogpatch-like sites complete with broken down compressors, multiple bikes (some with two wheels), sheds, fenced dog compounds and small stacks of yard furniture missing legs.
We found a nice spot under some oaks and set up for a 15 day stay. We will see how this place works out for us.
