Mad River Rapids RV Park (Arcata, CA)

Adventures of Semalu RV Park Review Mad River Arcata

After finishing up our trip visiting friends and family in the Bay Area, we headed north to Humboldt County to settle in for a while. On our way there we couldn’t resist a detour down the Avenue of the Giants to drive beneath the majestic redwoods.

Arriving in Humboldt we pulled into our home base for the next few months, Mad River Rapids RV Park in Arcata, CA. We were hoping to snag a monthly spot and while it took a few days, the owner was able to fit us in. Read on for our review of the park.

Marin RV Park (Larkspur, CA)

Adventures of Semalu RV Park Review Marin RV Park

After a week in Arizona we hitched up and settled in for a long drive back up to Humboldt County with a short stop planned in the San Francisco Bay Area. We made some stops of course while passing through Arizona and stopped for a quick overnight in the Mojave desert at a beautiful and busy rest stop. But by the end of the next day we arrived in the Bay Area.

I grew up in San Francisco so my friends and family are scattered throughout the Bay, and since we had been living in Humboldt for the last six months, this was an opportunity to spend some quality time with them. The closer to San Francisco your hotel is, the more expensive it is. Well, the same holds true for RV Parks. Marin RV Park in Larkspur, CA is no different. Is that extra price worth it?

Grand Canyon Caverns RV Park (Peach Springs, AZ)

Adventures of Semalu RV Park Review Grand Canyon Caverns Peach Springs

After a few terrific days in Vegas we hitched up and put Nevada in the rear view as we headed towards Arizona to see Maple’s parents. It’s a long beautiful drive and about half way there we decided we’d take the scenic route along old Historic Route 66.

We settled into an easy 55 mph and enjoyed the drive, particularly passing all the Burma Shave signs along the road. However as the sun dropped lower and lower on the horizon and we finally decided to stop for an overnight, it seemed as if the RV parks were all behind us. Finally, just after dark, we came upon the Grand Canyon Caverns RV Park in Peach Springs and happily pulled in for the night. Read on for our review of the park.
