Since I was going to go camping no matter what and my whimpy ,thin Blooded family wouldn't go to Silent Valley  :mad: I decided to try Newport Dunes.

So if anyone whats to join us (chezway & darksiders are going also) you're certainly welcome  we are in sites 2203, 2205, & 2207  
It's $64.90/night after taxes but if you want to Guarantee your site # its an extra $10/night. their website is

We're looking forward to it!  Although the campground is essentially a giant parking lot, and it costs $$$, we always have a great time here and the kids love all the activities--just a stroll to the bay, swimming pool, movies on the beach, crafts, etc.  It is also close to Balboa Island (love those frozen bananas and Balboa bars), Laguna Beach, Newport shopping, etc. for day trips.

the bay is a beautifual place it's an estuary that has wonderfull wildlife they also have a science center/interpretive center see http://newportbay.org
they have some nice bike/hiking trails too.

I can't wait to go Camping   :tent:

O/t: think warm weather it was 37 deg when I left work last night :yikes:

Whale watching in Newport Beach?  I'm thinking a little further north unless I'm very confused.....
One more month...yeeehaaa!  We're looking forward to checking out the new rig and stoking up the fiyaah with ya Dee!

Here's a link that tells all about it

there is also a printable coupon for $2 off/adult $1/child each coupon for up to 6 people  spoke with lkw (larry & Bev) last night they may join our "Mini-rally"

reservations don't need to be made until about 2 weeks prior.
I thought noon on Sat. or Sunwould be fun.  let me know

I think whale watching on Saturday or Sunday would be great fun.  I printed out my coupons... Let me know when you want to make reservations.  Darksiders are on board too.  My brother and his son may be joining us (at least for the day) too...so we have ourselves a mini rally!!!

By the way, we were at Campland this past weekend and checked out the supersite...Yowza!  Looks like a great place to celebrate the big b-day Dee.

what day are they coming?? do they want to do whale watching or just hang out. let me know what the deal is, so I know what to make reservations for. either day is fine.

I'm hoping Lori and Family stops by too.

I think campland for the big 4-0 would be fun. it's sept 29th and dan has month end on Fri the 30th :swear:

so maybe Sept 23rd weekend??  I know we usually do a rally mid sept and mid oct so hopefully we can squeeze this in between.

( yes it's 4:30 am & I'm going to bed now) not looking forward to 7:30

is it Feb. Yet??

No need to even ask...we ALL want breakfast burritos!  Maybe I'll cook up some DO sausage apple cornbread (thank you, Moose).

I'm checking with Darksiders and my brother about whale watching.

9-23 through 25 sounds like a good weekend for Campland and a BIG b-day celebration!  I bet we could roust some other ScCampers and make it into a rally.  Hey, I would even consider being the wagonmaster.  The only thing is that the campsites are $$$ so everyone will probably have to make their own reservations.

actually if we reserve 10 sites we get a pretty significant discount. and you only have to put down a deposit and pay in full 30 days prior. you couls do what Scott did and ask for volunteering to put some $$$ down for the deposit. I think when I did the rally it was $68.50 per site for 2 NITES .let me see if the Supersite is even open that weekend, I here it's hard to get.

Whoops...I forgot that you already had a rally there.  Let me know when you find out about the supersite.

By the way, I'm gone for about 10 days starting Monday...but I'll get on this upon my return.  I'm going to Cancun with my mom!  It is going to be a real getaway from it all.
