This morning, we gathered up our\nchairs, antennas and bird feeders and loaded them into the trailer\nfor travel. Since Thousand Trails South Jetty has almost no sewer\nhookups for it’s guests, we got to pull into another unoccupied\ncampsite to dump our tanks because their regular dump station is\nallegedly being upgraded. It looked like the upgrade, currently, is\nsome faded yellow construction caution tape gaily strung between the\nformer water piping in the contemplated dump station demolition. No\nevidence of work or progress on this facility was evident during our\nstay at this sewer-piping challenged campground. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tWe turned north on US-101 and took a\ngorgeous drive up the coast through Florence, Yachats, Newport and\nLincoln City before turning off for a short drive to Pacific City.\nHere, we found another Thousand Trails facility with many campsites\nbut few with sewer, 50 amp electrical or decent roads. We took a\ntrying drive through the park, including one turnaround with barely\nsufficient space and much steering wheel wrenching before settling on\nspace F5 which we were able to slither backwards into with only a\nmoderate amount of cursing. There is naturally no sewer in this site.\nThe satellite antenna works very well but there is no data service,\nWiFi or phone. The last time we visited this campground, in 2014, I\nclumsily rubbed the rear right corner of our trailer against one of\ntheir dump station bollards protecting some gravel and making exit\ndifficult. This left a small yellow badge of incompetance on the\nrear skirt that took a long time to rub out. I hope to avoid a repeat\nperformance when we leave this year. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
