Since we aren’t getting to the destination Tommy had mapped out for us today, we adjust our itinerary once again, searching out a couple nearby campgrounds.  We decide to try Lincoln Rock State Park, right on the Columbia River, about 8 miles north of Wenatchee.

This is a huge campground with lots of grass and trees and many of the campsites have views of the river. We check in, hoping for a site with electrical and hopefully a view of the river (dream on!). It is a popular campground and without reservations, we have  the option of only three ‘electrical sites available (no views). We drive through the circular ‘maze‘ which seems confusing at first but actually lays out nicely for so many campsites. Choosing one, we pull in and start to set up camp, only to discover our new extension cord with the large 3-prong safety design doesn’t fit into this older style electrical hookup outlet. So, we opt for a simple ‘Tent’ site and climb back into the bus driving around again, this time looking at the available tent sites.  This is much better! No electrical but not only do we have a view of the river, it is RIGHT BY the river! (which, we discover, is actually Lake Entiat, formed by the Rocky Reach Dam blocking the flow of the Columbia River. We also learn that Lincoln Rock State Park is an 80 acres campground park, catering to water recreation.)

Besides being a waterfront-site, this one also more grass and trees and more space between us and our neighbors so it is more private!

We ‘make camp’setting up our Westy ‘Tent” and settle in feeling quite comfortable and enjoying our view of the river!
