first time winter rving in my 2018 winnebago travato 59g at ike kinswa state park in washington stat

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

Nice park! Bacon sounds good right now🥓🥓 Looks like a gr8 park to bring a kayak 🛶👍

[@RVJedeye]

100% the water areas are stunning 😁

[@ExploreLifeForever]

Great start to 2025 RV camping! Loved the clip of snowfall in Seattle. Thanks David!

[@RVJedeye]

Always! Glad you enjoyed 😁

[@rosiepea8227]

I really enjoy your videos. Here is an idea to consider for winter camping, if you have room. Plug in a big coffee percolator (30 cups) next to the sink. The kind that has a spigot and fill with water. Then you always have hot water to wash your hands and dishes.

[@RVJedeye]

Ohhhh I really like that idea 😉

[@penelopebartell840]

Perfect weather! No crowds! Only the hardiest souls are out and about in winter. It’s great! What a beautiful spot.

[@RVJedeye]

Truly was gorgeous 😊

[@DonnaDougherty-Phillip]

Enjoyed watching your 1st RV Winter Camping Video David

[@RVJedeye]

Loved sharing 😁

[@staroceans8677]

❤ your new rig. Car camping sucks. Comfort, warmth and safer surroundings much nicer!!❤👍🏻 😂 love your Darth bedspread...

[@RVJedeye]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed 😁

[@mayflowers1041]

It's been so cold in Ohio. Nice to see you are able to get out to a campground! Thank you.

[@RVJedeye]

You got it, love being out and about 😁

Hi David. Nice video. Not sure how much of the park was open but we have been going for a couple of decades, mostly to launch a boat. The park is actually three separate areas. In addition to the camping area on the "point", there is a day use part (across the highway) and the boat launch (over the bridge). All three areas have amenities. The day use area has an interesting trail that leads back through a narrow gorge (mouth of Tilton river) very different from the campground sites on the lake. The boat launch also has some limited picnic areas at top of the boatramp. Also there is a private rv campground on same road closer to Mossyrock. It's a bit pricey, but the previous owners worked hard to improve it. Now it is corporate owned, so some of the folksy charm is gone. Not saying that's a bad thing, but we enjoyed the older version. Cheers. And keep up the excellent content. We appreciate you! 🌞

[@RVJedeye]

Wow! Thanks for the info! I really enjoyed the area 😁

[@christinafoster1922]

We have a reservation at Ike Kinswa in April so this was awesome to see a preview of the campground and park. I just got back from camping at Fort Worden. Highly recommend. My east coast friends were flabbergasted that so many people were camping in January.

[@RVJedeye]

Cool! I’ll definitely look into it. Ike Kinswa was fantastic 😁

[@ThePNWRiderWA]

When it is raining and winter, I used to like to go by the coast, I would head up towards Blaine most of the time. I used to have a toy hauler but going in tunnels under Bridges. I always found terrifying. When you were going in the tunnel, I think near the Stewart exit. It reminded me of that. I now have a little 204 26 foot Vita Winnebago class C it is so much easier for the 68 year-old to handle we go back to Washington every summer and Snowbird to our home in Texas I really look forward to your videos. My boys are still in Washington state I am trying to talk to them and do having a slab and a 30 amp put in lol

[@RVJedeye]

That would be great! I’ve been up near Blaine, really enjoy the area😁

[@CloverCityCindy]

Ike Kinswa state park is one of my favorites here is WA state - thanks for sharing this hidden gem with us.

[@RVJedeye]

I really enjoyed it during the winter can only imagine what it’s like during summer 😂

[@dangergirlbrooks3575]

I recognized Mayfield lake as you drove over. I grew up in Morton. Ike Kinswa was my childhood.

[@RVJedeye]

Loved the park and my hike around the Lake.. beautiful area, lucky to have grown up there😊

[@mikeb8921]

What a gorgeous park… the lake looked amazing! I am glad to see you getting out already - got about 14 weeks to go here.

[@RVJedeye]

Can’t wait for you! Fun plans ahead?😊

[@mikeb8921]

@ first trip is planned for May 1st!

[@jasonwitters7860]

Great video, Thank you for sharing. Safe travels.

[@annakersting6992]

I will have to check it out one day.. I love taking day trips and visiting state parks

[@RVJedeye]

Cool! I think you’ll enjoy it 😊

[@deborahphillips9034]

My 1st to watch your video. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. I use to go camping in my tent solo. Nowadays it’s just too dangerous. Looking forward to seeing more…safe travels my friend!! I did subscribe.

[@RVJedeye]

Thank you so much😊 I hope you continue to enjoy 🤗

[@justvisiting-ts6xm]

anther seattle area person here. i like winter camping. less people pull up and get a spot. i never put that crap in my water lines never had a problem. like your shows. keep them coming

[@RVJedeye]

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching. 😁

[@sandybuzz22]

David, thank you for sharing your experience at Ike Kinswa! I'll be staying there in February in site #67 -- it'll be my first visit to this park, so it's great to get a little sneak peek. I appreciated your homage to David Lynch, too.

[@RVJedeye]

Sandy thanks! I’ll check my pics, I may have a shot of that site for you😊

[@sandybuzz22]

@@RVJedeye I'd love to see a pic if you find one...thank you!

[@heartquaked]

Looks like a fun place! Blue Velvet is an interesting one for sure....... David Lynch was truly one of a kind. I'd always wonder how he communicated his visions for his tv/films to his team. It seems like it'd be something special to really understand and be able to translate to the big screen.

[@RVJedeye]

It was a great place and he was a really good filmmaker. I think he marched to the beat of a different drummer but was convinced in his choices that’s why he was so unique 😊

Great video showcasing how easy it is to use a B van here in our mild PNW winters.

[@RVJedeye]

I love how I can move around with the B😊

[@cantwin4nutn]

I love your videos. We are full time rv'ers and live in Lewis County. Great choice on the park. I just have one "enquiring minds want to know"! Please tell us you have a travel companion. Camping is so much more fun if you have someone to smile and laugh with.

[@RVJedeye]

Solo camper for now, one day maybe. Although my daughter tells me I need a dog… would that count?😁 Loved the park by the way.

[@EarthBeing3]

⁠a dog would definitely count 🐾🐾 Lewis County girl here, used to waterski on Mayfield lake, 45ish years ago, lol. Check out Tacoma Power campground in Mossyrock on Riffe Lake. Love David Lynch ~ 🥲 Twin Peaks was great, pies and coffee shops is so Washingtonian 🏕

[@RVJedeye]

Well I loved your lake and the whole area😊 Thanks for dropping a note 🤗

[@akashazza9994]

Great video. I got a 2020 Winnebago travato 59g last year. I live south of Seattle. Camped there many years ago. I go to my property off hiway 101 Thinking about some early camping.🌝

[@RVJedeye]

It was so fun to get out there! Congrats on your Travato as well😁

[@FISHINTOMARS]

Thank you for sharing your RV adventures with us. Have you ever considered camping at Rainbow Falls State Park? Kind of a unique location.

[@RVJedeye]

I’m always looking for spots, thanks for watching and the suggestion, I’ll look into it😊

Beautiful. Rice recipe please.🙏 😊

[@RVJedeye]

My first time and loved it! I see why you go😁

[@slighwentwalking2025]

We had snow in Florida 🤨🤐 The panhandle got 2 inches... We are likely done with winter now that February is arriving...In weeks to come you can see how your rig handles pollen 😜

I know I saw it and I was amazed at all of the pics! How did you hold up?😊
