Visitor’s Center Phone: (760) 786-3200
Website: https://www.nps.gov/deva/planyourvisit/texas-springs-campground.htm
Attractions: Death Valley National Park is the lowest, hottest, and driest place in North America,
although heat is not a problem in January. Attractions include Badwater Basin (at 282 feet below sea
level), Dante’s View (which has a spectacular view of the valley), Scotty’s Castle, the Ubehebe Crater,
and the Racetrack (where rocks seem to move for no reason). Gambling is available in Beatty, NV
about 45 miles away, and there are several ghost towns or abandoned sites, in and near the park.
Note: Due to Hurricane Hillary, some parts of the park are still inaccessible, but enough is open to
make it worthwhile. Badwater Basin is now a shallow lake, something that almost never happens, so
the view is a once in a lifetime event.
Directions: There are many ways into Death Valley, and all are paved except the road through Wild
Rose Canyon. From the Visitors Center and Furnace Creek Ranch (both on West side of SR190), ride
about 1/4 mile south. Look on the East side of the road for the turnoff to both Sunset and Texas
Springs Campgrounds. Ride past the entrance to Sunset Campground, and up to Texas Springs (the
road ends 1/2 mile up) Camp in any site, but we try to go as far up the campground as possible, near
the restrooms at the top of the campground, spots 68-76.
Map: https://goo.gl/maps/wF4WgdfLB58HjAE37.
GPS Info. (Latitude, Longitude): 36.4566, -116.8410
Elevation and Weather Notes: Furnace Creek is below sea level, and the campground is only a bit
higher. Although Death Valley is very dry, the park can get occasional rainstorms. Daytime
temperatures can range from 40 to 75 degrees, depending on where you go sightseeing. Nights are
cold and can drop down to freezing, so plan accordingly.
What to Bring: Bring a warm sleeping bag or blankets. There is drinking water in the campground,
otherwise, bring whatever you need for a great weekend getaway. We’ll have firewood for a campfire
at our site and will have a hotdogs and chili gathering on Saturday evening. Bring a side dish if you’d
like.
Conveniences/Services: The campground has flush toilets, cold running water, and decent cell service,
but there are areas in the park that are dead zones. Showers are available at Furnace Creek Ranch,
and almost everything is within 1/2 mile, including fuel and dining.

Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival
2023-06-28 - 2023-07-02 | Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival, 169 Homan Ln, Centre Hall, PA, 16828
Please contact John 610-360-0696 if you are going so he can tell you where he is camping and you can find each other.
I’m still learning the ropes here. I just submitted a camp out at the Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival, June 28 to July 2, in Centre Hall, PA.
Comments: Near State College, Pa. Five days of Bluegrass, Gospel, and Country music, by some of the best performers. The ‘23 lineup is listed on the website. There will be lots of impromptu “jamming” throughout the park.
1500 camp sites. Popup campers permitted in the large tree shaded tent camping area. Clean restrooms and showers available. Food trucks servicing the festival, and restaurants within 10 miles. Order tickets in advance once the website is up, or pay at the gate for festival admission and campground use. There is plenty of room for whoever shows up to set up camp in an area of our own. I was the only motorcycle tent camper this year, and drew a fair amount of interest as soon as I entered the park.
The only real downside is campfires are not allowed. Firewood adds too much weight to a motorcycle camper anyhow.

50th Annual International Campout in Helper, Utah
2023-06-20 - 2023-06-22 | City Park, Helper, UT, 107 Cedar St, Helper, UT, 84526, United States
Helper has a rich railroad and mining history. We will camp at city park. There is space for RVs in the parking lot or at Al and Michelle’s house across the street. You can also go to one of two local RV parks called Castle Gate RV and Blue Cut RV.

There is a concession stand at the pool for your use. You don’t have to pay $5.00 if you don’t want to swim, but do want a concession.
Bathrooms are located near the ballfield and near the pool.
Dogs are not allowed in the park. There was a discussion at the last city council meeting about allowing dogs in parks. It was felt that too many people do not pick up after their dogs so the dog ban was kept in place. Your dog is welcome to stay in the orchard or board at the Yarning Dog Ranch.
Conveniences: All conveniences in Helper.
Where to eat: Balance Rock Eatery, Aunt Nells and Angel’s food truck are the best places to eat! Marsha is in the process of opening a soup kitchen at the Avalon House.
More fun stuff to do: There are great roads to ride and trails to hike. We are looking forward to a local brewery serving Helper Beer and food by next summer. Ghost towns are up Spring Canyon. Some of the art galleries will be open. Be sure to check out 3 on the Tree Gallery. It is full of car and motorcycle paintings by the artist Kate Kilpatrick. The Lincoln Hotel has old Harleys for your to view. The Helper Museum has over 40 rooms displaying everything from mining equipment to railroad items to a bordello room to Americana history, to mine disasters.
We are working on a shirt design.

The Valley of Fires is a very unique area since the entire camp is literally in the pocket of a lava flow. When the lava was flowing through this area it split and went around a small mound that is in the middle of the campground. The lave rejoined on the south end of the camp leaving this area untouched by the fire. They built a paved loop pathway out into the lava field. There is great night viewing of the stars!

Remington Ryde Bluegrass Festival
2022-08-07 | Nevada
Near State College, Pa. Five days of Bluegrass, Gospel, and Country music, by some of the best performers. The ‘23 lineup hasn’t been set, but in the past: Remington Ryde, Larry Efaw and Bluegrass Mountaineers, Little Roy and Lizzy Show, Malpass Brothers, Rhonda Vincent, Koby Norris Show and quite a few more. With lots of impromptu “jamming” throughout the park.
1500 camp sites. Popup campers permitted in the large tree shaded tent camping area. Clean restrooms and showers available. Food trucks servicing the festival, and restaurants within 10 miles. Order tickets in advance once the website is up, or pay at the gate for festival admission and campground use. There is plenty of room for whoever shows up to set up camp in an area of our own. I was the only motorcycle tent camper this year, and drew a fair amount of interest as soon as I entered the park.
The only real downside is campfires are not allowed. Firewood adds too much weight to a motorcycle camper anyhow.

Heading to the high country (7,400 feet) for a weekend getaway in the mountains outside of Ely, NV. Over the weekend, we’ll be heading into Ely to check out the town, ride the trains, and probably take a ride to Great Basin National Park. The road to Wheeler Peak in the park is simply amazing. Wheeler peak sits at 13,065 feet making it the second-highest peak in Nevada, just behind Boundary Peak (which was not officially listed in Nevada by the USGS until 1980).

We have reservations in Spot 30, if you’d like to try to get close. This is a recon mission to scope out the area for future group campouts. The campsite is around 1/2 mile off the paved road, but the gravel road look well maintained from pictures.

From Ely, travel west on US-6 for 10 miles. Turn left just before Murray Summit, at the sign for the recreation area. From Las Vegas, travel north on Highway 93 for about 86 miles, to the junction with State Route 318. Make sure to fill up fuel in Ash Springs. Follow State Route 318 north for 124 miles to US-6 and head east towards Ely. Turn right at the sign for the recreation area.
