I’ve settled in here at the Barview Jetty campground. It’s a county park that has over 200 sites for campers, tents, or RV’s. It’s a great park that seems very secluded even when it’s full. I got here last Friday around 12:30 and it was full up, with several people hanging around waiting for openings, mostly tenters. The staff suggested that I hang around to see if anyone with a RV space reserved cancels or doesn’t show up. At 1:15 they had four sites available for my rig and I moved right into a site that is quiet and only has other RV spaces at the back and to the right. I’m here because it was just too hot in Gresham. It’s now Wednesday and I’m very comfortable here. The weather is perfect, I get a very sound nights sleep, it’s quiet except for the ocean breaking on the coast, and there is a great beach to ride my bike on.
Here’s where I’m parked:
Some of the park, I’m parked out of frame to the right, and there are no RV spaces on the left so I’m not looking at my neighbors RV all the time:
The road to town, Garibaldi, Oregon:
I’m standing on the jetty, looking North, I ride my bike in that direction. I took this shot on Sunday so it’s relatively crowded:
Now it’s Tuesday and the crowds have left:
Just a random shot from the jetty:
Just so you know, the temps here were 70 to 75F every day and 55 to 65 every night. Very comfortable and really beats the 85 to 105F temps I was seeing up at Gresham & Portland.
