Arrival at Mill Casino RV Park, North Bend, OR

This morning we left Armitage County RV Park.  We drove south on I-5 for about 40 miles and then turned west and picked up  State Highway 38 and drove through the small towns of Drain and Elkton.  We followed the Umpqua River for most of the way and crossed over to the north side of the river.

Just before we connected with Highway 101 South, we reached the town of Reedsport.  We usually are here in the winter, so seeing the town in summer, with flowers displayed in hanging baskets and flags flying was a pretty sight to see.

This area of the Oregon coast is famous for sand dunes.IMG_5666

Without leaving Highway 101, it’s hard to get a view of the ocean along this part of the coast.  We saw a lot of trees and some impressive dunes.IMG_5670 IMG_5674 IMG_5671 IMG_5676 IMG_5678 No, this isn’t Iraq, this is the Oregon Coast! IMG_5679

After turning south on Highway 101, we only had 34 more miles to go before we reached the Mill Casino RV Park in North Bend, Oregon.

We signed up for the free Millionaires Club card in order to save 15% at the RV park, then we settled into site #92 with its view of Coos Bay.IMG_5698IMG_5700

We will be stay here for the next four nights.

Thanks for reading my blog!

  3. We're probably going that route in September when we leave Tumwater. We usually try to hit the Mill Casino on our way south if going on Hwy. 101. Thanks for sharing your drive with us. That is such a beautiful area.

  4. ANY river in Oregon is worth a drive. Even the Willamettes, if you know where to drive. Thanks for taking us along, and showing us a good place to stay at North Bend. We'll have to look for that one sometime.

  5. When we leave the Ranch in mid September, our plan is to stay at the Mill Casino while we travel through Washington, Oregon, and Northern California before heading to a Pumpkin Lot for October.

    Looks like a great place to stay, let us know if you find out anything different in the next few days you stay there.
