This was our first campsite in the new trailer. We drove a whomping 9.5 mile from the towing company where our trailer was off-loaded from an 18 wheel flatbed truck. We had a fun evening checking out everything in the trailer.
The following day we took a walk around the campground and the McKenize River before heading back over the Cascades to Bend.
