We arrived on a Monday and had choice of all but 3 of the 32 sites. We ended up on #4, after first choosing #14, only to find the electricity did not work. Date of visit: Mar 2007 |
 |
Lots of grass and enough trees for some shade make for very pleasant surroundings. Here you see #32 on the left, with #31 just beyond. The 5'ver in the distance is on #28. The bathhouse is on the left. |
 |
Here
is #20 on the left. |
 |
This is #5 in
the foreground. You can see that setting up your satellite dish is
pretty easy here. |
 |
There's
a nice bathhouse in the center of the campground, with hot showers.
With the temps in the upper 20's, some heat would have been welcome
for that morning shower. |
 |
The
Fee Station, where you pay the Iron Ranger. |
 |
Across
the street from the campground is a Visitors Center and a small museum
telling the story of the mission that once here along the Camino Real,
or the King's Highway, back in the 1700's. |
 |
A stone
marker at the site of the mission. |
 |
On our
second evening here, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset, helped by some
smoke from fires in the distance. We could smell the smoke all day. |
