Default Scion camping trip!

So, up at the FoF Show last Saturday, Dave, Erik, and I were talking about a Scion campout before summer is over. I'm thinking if we could get it planned soon, it'd be a helluva good time. So, anyone have any camp spot connections? or some secret spot we could get on short notice? I have kids, and a prissy wife that needs running water and a half way modern bathroom facility, so a place with those would be great. But if not, than it'd be just me an my older son, which would be cool also. Just throwing this out there, if someone wants to pick it up and run with it, go for it!

This location has RV & tens sites but also has Yurts!!!!

Looks like prices are as follows:

Tent site: $21/night
Yurt: $41
Full hook up site (RV): $27
Electrical/Water hookup site: $27
Extra vehicle: $5
Day use fee: $5/day

There is also a Shilo Inn close by:

As well as the town of Warrenton that has several restaurants, and a Costco and Fred Meyers!

My cousin has a house at Ocean Park, other side of the freeway from the beach. 2 bedrooms, 2 hide-a-beds, plus floor space. She just asks that it is cleaned and laundry done before you leave. I could give her a call and see if it is available any time soon.

Both of those sound cool. Where is Ocean Park at Robbie? is there room for tents outside of the house?

Yeah, my only issue is space, or lack thereof. If it was farily close, i'd bring both cars, since mine won't haul much. but that far, i'll probably go solo, which is cool. Whatever works for the most people, I'm pretty flexible (not like bendy, so don't get any funny ideas....)
