We booked, sight (site) unseen, for a late September RV excursion to Joseph, OR. We found Scott, the owner, out in the RV section of the property, picking up small, leafy branches shed by the huge cottonwoods that dotted the site that were cascading to the ground in the sudden, intermittent and impressively brisk fall breezes. Scott spoke to us of the establishment and the area as he checked us in. "You've got a great site," he assured us. "Off in the corner and away from everyone." Our site was adjacent to one of four large and pristine teepees in the park that were available for rent. As we backed into the generous site, Kathy appeared to greet us, identifying herself as the "housekeeper" and chief recycler. "Save your glass and plastic bottles and cans for me and don't crush them." Kathy had come to straighten up the teepee on the site next to ours, the most recent resident of which had left a bit earlier. Kathy gave us a tour the teepee and spoke of the woman who had painted them, marveling at their artistry. Kathy also mention the various cats that hunted the complex, all of which she had befriended.

Traffic was light at the time of our stay and we were thrilled to discover that our campsite was adjacent to the irrigation canal that served the site, running at a high volume that provided the calming sound of gurgling springs. The RV park was quiet, immaculately kept and charming. The restrooms clean and quite serviceable. Our visit to the area was most successful and, when we return for a longer stay, we will be guests of Scott again.
