Thousand Trails in Chehalis

Both of our parents are members of Thousand Trails. Dave and I have stayed at a couple of the parks (Las Vegas and Verde Valley). But last weekend was the first time we stayed in one in our own motorhome. We joined my parents as guests.

It was a nice park (preserve) - most of the spaces seemed large. Our site was great.

We had fun playing pool.

My Mom and I puzzled in the Adult Lodge. It was a warm weekend and to be honest we think they might be having a sewer problem. There were some serious bad smells in a few areas. Other than that hopefully temporary problem the park seemed clean and well-maintained.

One major drawback - most of the sites are up a steep hill. Our bike ride was a lot of work (on the way back to camp). I know... exercise is supposed to tough.

Thousand Trails seems great for families (with kids that like swimming pools) and retirees with time to use it. My parents stay at Thousand Trails a lot and love it. I don't think Dave and I would get much usage out of a membership though. We like to go and explore different places and probably wouldn't use all the amenities offered.
