Osprey Point RV Resort
Lakeside, Oregon
Having never been to this membership RV Resort, we are always apprehensive and start with low expectations to avoid great disappointment. Unfortunately, there was no reason to be pessimistic. The campground has smoothly paved roads with green grassy sites for Danny to sunbathe on. The sites were pull thru which avoided the treacherous backing in maneuver, and had hooks ups that were easy to use.
A very handicap accessible bathhouse and modern laundry facility made me quite happy.
A final touch was the Pizza Pub, which was a small chicken and pizza restaurant with a liquor license and a comfortable patio facing the lake. Pizza and Beer on the deck facing the lake and small marina is a great way to spend an afternoon and there is always someone around to talk to.
There were lots of dogs for Danny to bark at and make fiends with, especially Larry, a miniature Australian sheep dog. His owner was a lovely older woman, Karin, Swedish, born and lived in the area for many years with her husband Gene. Karin was a retired nurse, and loved to talk and tell stories about her experiences. Gene was a retired truck driver who also could tell some great stories and appeared to be lucky to have a wife who was skilled in nursing care. They currently live in Redding, California and love to visit this area in their trailer.
The morning we left, I found an envelope addressed to Steve and Danny with a note inside from Karin and Gene telling us how they enjoyed meeting us and wishing us safe travels.
