We moved about 30 miles east of San Diego to our first Thousand Trails park, Pio Pico RV Campground. The side of the park we are in is fine, nice but not beautiful. Most of the sites are gravel and fairly level. Fortunately, we knew ahead of time that the sites are “first come, first serve” and made sure we got here early in the day (about 9:30). We got lucky and got one of the last nice sites that were large enough for our rig. It’s only 30 amp, not 50, but we’ve been ok since it’s been cool enough that we’ve only needed one air conditioner.

The whole time we were setting up there were RVers driving around looking for sites and shortly after that we noticed newcomers being turned around and heading to the “north side” of the park. That side does not have sewer connections, only water and electric. Apparently people that can’t get into the south side go to the north side and wait for a site to open up so they can move to it.

There’s really not much to do in the area. But we were so busy in San Diego for a week it was really nice to just ‘chill’ here for a couple of weeks.

One good thing, Mike finally got to play with the drone! We’ve been staying at places where flying the drone was illegal. Here’s a few aerial shots of the campground and our site.
