We found our way to Cedar Pines, late in the afternoon. The managers, Nick and Shawna, were very helpful. Though we had no reservations we were given a great site. We needed some low hanging branches removed and, Nick was there in minutes with a pruning saw. He helped me back-in and get positioned so I could get my slides out without a problem.
It snowed the night we were there. The next morning, the snow had turned to ice. My slides were frozen in place. I was stuck. I went up to my roof to survey the situation. Thick ice, was jamming my slides in place. I spent the next hour or so doing everything I could to clear the ice away. After working with every tool and idea I had and countless trips up and down the ladder to see if the slides would operate I was nearly exhausted and I had gotten nowhere.
I called, Nick and asked for his help. He was there in minutes with good ideas and the tools to implement them. A couple of hours later, my slides clear of the ice. Nick and I said our goodbyes. Lucy the wonder dog and I were on our way. I might still be there if it wasn't for, Nick.
As to the trains, I heard them but they weren't so loud that they disturbed my sleep. Maybe I'm just accustomed to their sound now. That said, I've stayed at dozens of campgrounds, RV Resorts, and RV Parks over the past 5 years. The majority of them were as close or closer to RR tracks as, Cedar Pines is.
Dunsmuir is a hidden gem. I met a few of the locals. They went out of their way to be kind and helpful. Cedar Pines is a beautiful spot to camp. I'll stay there again when I pass through that part of the country. read more
