Near-Glamping in the Fort McDowell Regional Park

Yep, actually in a campground for once!

It's a convenient location for us to visit Martha's cousin at her home in nearby Fountain Hills.  Since we're not towing the CRV this trip, we're being picked up at the campground and conveyed hence to Martha's cousin's location.

The campground here is nicely laid out from what I've seen so far.  The sites are spaced nicely apart from each other and there's power and water at our site.  No sewer hookup, hence the use of the term Near-Glamping.




$40//night is the cost, not bad.  Since I was on shore power, ran the AC unit for a bit just to exercise it.

Altitude:  2011 ft.

Martha's "auntie" Carol, a close friend of the family, picked us up along with her friend Loretta to take us to Martha's cousin's home in Fountain Hills.

Drinks, then dinner at a very nice Chinese restaurant, rounded out a very nice evening.

A “nice Chinese restaurant”. Something that is hard to find in TX.

Looks like a pretty camp spot, Dom. And 40 bucks seems to be a fairly reasonable price, given space and view. Say hi to Martha, please.

As campgrounds go, SonjaM, it was pretty good. Hello to Roland.
