    Looks like you could have easily parked Myles in 16 or 17. Then, enjoyed fantastic views. But, as we have learned with our 40’ DP, you just never know about a site until you see it in person. And it’s just the better decision to reserve space in a park where you “should” be able to fit according to the available information. Even then we’ve had to drive away from reserved space because in no way could a 40’ foot rig fit. Anyway..... thanks again Sue and Mark for your time and talent as you share your adventures with us. Bill and Mark. Aka JerseyRV

    Guys the Castaic park area looks great and can't wait for part II to drop. In 2019 we were a little further north from where y'all are in this video in Buellton, CA at a RV Park called Flying Flags. Its a great place and located just a couple of miles from the "California's Denmark" town of Solvang. We ended up relocating our rig to Vandenberg AFB, but that whole area around Santa Barbara is so beautiful, you can't go wrong wherever you stay. Happy trails!

I feel like I've cheated on you two hehehehe. However, this is another awesome video! Thank you for sharing your experiences on this long haul reposition day! I agree....that looks like a great place to camp!! I fly my boss to Orange County and Palm Springs; I'll have to come up there to do a reconnaissance for the day. I also have a distant cousin over at Lake Arrowhead; so I need to get up there regardless.

      You can find places that are LITERALLY on the same road you are traveling,...........OR miles away. You have over 1400 places spread throughout the US, so you can ONLY select the ones that are close to your main route. THAT IS WHAT WE DO. The Episode #146 where we got "lost" on a side road was our fault. The main road outside the gate would have been fine. Harvest Host is going to be one of our main things to use this year!

    It isn't always the size of the RV but the size of the crowd that dictates where you can get in. I was in the Texas hill country around Lake Buchanan Marble Falls and Fredericksburg Last week and a half over spring break. We had a place in a campground with my little camper but maney places and State parks didn't care if you wanted to walk in they were full.
