The boys have made one of their campground tour videos again!Ĭell Phone Reception: AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile Two hours would have been an entire day trip before, but now it’s like “well, that’s pretty close, let’s go for a few hours”! Of course, our definition of close is changing the longer we are on this trip. The three closest National Parks were Zion (25-35 minutes), Bryce (2.15 hrs), and the Grand Canyon (2.5 hrs to North Rim). There were several state parks and National Parks nearby. We only brought Nick’s Venus fly traps! I do miss having more plants, but we just don’t have the room for them. Our neighbor to the right had a large collection of outdoor plants on an amazing set of shelves. The campground seemed to be a mix of travelers and long term residents.

They had regular sized washers for $2.00/load and the dryer $1/load. The laundry room had plenty of machines, a single use detergent vending machine, and a table for folding.
