CAMPING NEXT TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN!! Starting Vanlife at South Carlsbad State Park

We are back from Hawaii and back to starting vanlife! We have been enjoying our time near the ocean and we are not quite ready to leave it... so we find the perfect campground where we can camp right next to the Pacific Ocean. We are able to sleep with our windows open and listen to the waves crash all night long... yeah we can get used to this!

Love the van. Has all the comforts of home. Thanks for sharing.😎

[@kristenwitchey5167]

Great video. You should share your fajita recipe. 😊

[@LisaLisa-fx1qb]

Dinner looked so good, need a tour of the van.

[@teresalewelling7318]

That’s a great idea. I just love the tea kettle. And I love the van. That’s what I would love to have you can do so much with a van.

[@debwright4655]

I envy you guys for your bravery to be able to part with all your past treasures and your home to just travel.

[@loridelia8806]

America is so beautiful❤

[@susanlindahl3848]

Carlsbad is an AWESOME place.

[@gingernickel1556]

My gosh that is my old stomping grounds!!!! I grew up in Escondido n would go to that beach all the time. We camped many a night at that campground. I miss the smell of the ice plant that covered the hill sides. Have ton o fun

[@annmariemixer1102]

You guys always find the neatest little gadgets! I live right across the road from the Atlantic Ocean, so I can listen, and see it every day!

[@lynntravels]

I recognized the campground right away before even reading the title. As a kid I camped at South Carlsbad Beach every summer.

[@marisajensen405]

💗yay! Van life suits you both.

[@sylviat8461]

What a great spot!!!!!!!!

[@JimmyVYouTube]

Carlsbad is My neck of the woods! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@magicworldbyjorg]

..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

[@bigfoot2328]

As usual , you both look fantastic!

[@65RettasTravels]

I just love this video. You two are so enjoyable to watch.

[@ericabrinagh8626]

Hey 👋🏾 move to Cali. I lived here all my 62 years and it is absolutely beautiful. You’ll be near your son and DIL. Yes it is a little expensive but so is every where else. Your other children would love to visit you in this beautiful state.

[@adventuresofanunlikelypair9695]

We’ve stayed there! Other than the sketchy stairs, it’s amazing!

[@luv2cruz409]

I love those camping rocking chairs... Where did you get them?

[@DragonWarriorMama]

Such exciting changes for yall!

[@daxgirl1121]

North Pismo state beach is awesome and a little further up the coast is Olema Camp Ground near point Reyes Station. From there head up to the KOA in Manchester. Such a beautiful drive. These are our favorites along the coast. We will be in Manchester in Sept for our last trip of the year!

[@WeekendWandering]

Oh how fun! I love all of your content, but definitely excited to see you back in the van! At first, it blew my mind that you guys went smaller compared to the Gemini, but I get it! I'm very interested to hear what you guys think of the van over time. I have a pull-behind trailer that we use on our weekend trips and I love it, but I am interested in possibly getting a van in the future for easier traveling on road trips and whatnot! Y'all should definitely do a like 6 month or year review whenever it comes time!

[@debbiepowell8172]

I love the campsite for sure. I also love the way the two of you interact. We have been married 46 years and I can tell you that we have lasted this long and we still “ like” each other and of course we love each other . We don’t sweat the small stuff and our friendship means the world. I get that same sense from you guys. Thanks for another great video.

[@EECCTravels]

I just love this comment ❤️

[@qianaberryman7236]

I can tell you two are very loving...great way of defining "like" and "love " by the way! Not too many people understand the difference and how it works and makes sense!

[@qianaberryman7236]

@@EECCTravels Agreed

[@JadeMoon333]

Hi Jason and Alisa 😁, it's always a joy to watch your travels. Your energy is amazing and you both seem so down to earth. Like truly one of kind couple. Glad I found your channel. Can't wait to see the sea turtle tattoo Jason. 😁🐢🐢🐢

[@srjinlv]

The Hawaiian sea turtle aka Honu! I'm from Kauai and want to take a cruise around the islands, even though I have been to them all many times - I never have on a ship LOL

[@charlenemorton8779]

Oooo that ocean is a grayish blue 😍

[@alej8902]

Hi Alisa and Jason! Love the van and the tea kettle is so nifty 🫖

[@commonsense246]

You mean Hanu!

[@destinsansbury4992]

Love y'all's vids

[@jojoinrancho320]

I’ve camped there many times! Have a reservation for December. Have an awesome time! If you go into Encinitas, go to Papagayos!

[@ronaldbernier462]

Cool. I saw the Georgia sticker on the frig…awesome

[@kristinapepper499]

Stayed there when I was much younger many years ago. Fun drunk adventures. Beautiful spot!

[@stevebartley628]

You need to go some time when you can go in the ocean. It rarely gets over 72 F, but Alisa needs to experience some waves that are real waves ! Snorkeling in the kelp beds is interesting, but you would best do it with a pro. I have spent from 3 days to 3 months every year except 2 in Carlsbad since 1961.

[@JaypeaFoto]

My husband and I sat down to watch You tube....then...WHOO HOOO...EECC travels just posted!!! We love you guys!

[@EECCTravels]

Yeah!! 😃

[@randyharrisphoto]

Thanks for all the great videos regarding the Travato. I'm about to purchase one. Regarding storage, where do you keep your camp chairs and table? Thank you!

[@cindymcguine5688]

Doheny Beach in Dana Point is nice camping too

[@lifewithgrandmabev]

Beautiful spot.

[@garybentley9108]

Glad you guys are enjoying life. But you had the door open all night in California on a hillside by the ocean. Be careful!

[@Stephrp613]

Mission makes a low carb tortilla nice size in white and wheat that are really good. I make quesadillas

[@lindastover9541]

Great video 🌸💐🌸

[@CatandMouseAdventures]

I have those same hexagon pillows . Love them .

[@EECCTravels]

Aren’t they cute?

[@Marielm1]

Really have no idea while you are leaving that beautiful site. But happy trails!

[@EECCTravels]

We didn’t want to but they were fully booked for the next night!

[@aussiejohn5835]

The coastline of California is very close to what you get this side of the Pacific Ocean in Australia but we have Golden sand which is soft and smooth and the occasional bug in our tropical waters of the North East Coast that can cause discomfort. I do hope you can drop in sometime and cruise the South Pacific because if you loved the view from California you will love it from anywhere on the Coastline of Australia.

[@EECCTravels]

We hope to be able to visit one day!

[@kwaggoner2494]

I love the Hawaii trickin' out of Miss Ellie (always remind me of Pixar's UP!) So glad you guys had a great trip and the "vanlife" looks cool on you dude. 😎

[@jdtravel4672]

good video my friends having trouble with trolls. They are even coming by their house. Anyone know how to stop trolls.

[@tybarker5038]

Every free night I’ve spent camped in a vehicle by the ocean, I consider a $200 value because that’s what the hotels and resorts are asking lol. At the least!!

[@lauriesmith5008]

Come to Texas and do the hill country. Lots of breweries and wineries and other cool stuff.

[@vikingbase]

You need to go to Dukes in Malibu. Great over ocean restaurant.

[@Vegasliferpools]

That Carlsbad spot is #money. Luv ya’ll videos. Come thru LasVegas.

[@sharonbaxter9233]

omg , i love that yea kettle. what brand is it and where can i get one. please . oh i love the video too 😆

[@Luvndazes]

Alisa you always find the best lil handy items ever! Can you post the link for the Tea kettle? My best friend is a tea fanatic & would absolutely love this! Love the videos Jason, y’all rock!

[@EECCTravels]

I need to add it to our Amazon store! But here is the link: Travel Foldable Electric Kettle,... www.amazon.com/dp/B07YRT7WJ9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@Luvndazes]

Thank you!

[@dilly6878]

Need to drive up Hwy 1 to Bodega Bay, beautiful up here, no swimming tho due to sneaker waves and undertow. No fastfood restaurants allowed, just home cooked seafood for the most part. Skip Lucas Wharf and The Tides (in The Birds movie) but do get their excellent smoked salmon there.

[@EECCTravels]

Oh we love original restaurants, they are the best!

[@suearcher8708]

Ohmagosh that is the cutest little tea pot I have every seen! I looked in your amazon store, didn't see it. Where did you get it??

[@EECCTravels]

It came from Amazon… I need to add it to the store. I have bought a few things for the van recently that aren’t in there yet.

[@angelabrown3994]

That tea kettle is so nifty. You think a person could take it on a cruise ship???

[@alej8902]

That’s a great question 👍🏻

[@EECCTravels]

I am pretty sure it would get confiscated since it plugs in.

[@deborahconkle6822]

❤️

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

My husband asked me to tell you that you remind him of Brett Favre, he says you look like him, he played for the Green Bay Packers.h

[@EECCTravels]

I get told that quite a bit…lol!

[@fredbeagle307]

It's 106 inland.🙂

[@fredbeagle307]

Soundbars are nice in RVs. Put on SINA and crank it up

[@Kimberly-yw1qu]

Love love your videos ❤️! Question how far in advance did you need to reserve your campsite in Carlsdbad near the beach?

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

I appreciate that you guys take us on all these amazing adventures, but I just have to ask… don’t you ever want to just get back home?

[@EECCTravels]

We are actually home quite a bit it just doesn’t seem like it the way we schedule the videos.

[@garryappleton7503]

What happened to the Gemini?

[@chrisphinney6430]

How much was your van?

[@lizdc1]

Where did you get the multicolored led lights? They would be perfect for my class B a Winnebago Solis PX.

[@EECCTravels]

They are from Amazon. Love that they are battery powered so we didn’t have to run them to a plug. We used gorilla putty to mount the battery box in a hidden spot. Battery Powered LED Strip Lights,... www.amazon.com/dp/B08BWNHG91?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@lisaanderson8235]

Ok, Jason needs to convince Dee from Parodeejay to get a sea turtle tattoo! 🐢🐢Also, I'm enjoying the heck out of the Elly2 videos. I was wondering how downsizing would go. 👍

[@EECCTravels]

We are absolutely loving the van! It is perfect for us!!

[@sadige92]

About how much did the whole Hawaiian trip run y'all

[@EECCTravels]

I haven’t actually added everything up since it was paid for at different times with the cruise, airfare and what we spent there. But it was a bit… but we treated the kids too.

[@Auxbeam]

Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!

[@pen4tenn]

Looks like a wonderful life, but I have to say my first thought is security.. I could not sleep like that. I have watched way to much true crime.

[@EECCTravels]

It is a secure state park so we felt safe doing it here.

[@pen4tenn]

@@EECCTravels That makes me feel better, what an awesome way to spend a few nights.
