Without further ado, let's welcome Joanna to RV Out West and thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me. Yeah. Well, welcome. I would like to set a little scene and Joanna kind of before Girl Camper existed, what did getting outside and exploring Oregon look like for you? Well, before Girl Camper, it was mostly hiking. I did a lot of hikes and beach walking as well. I have camped my whole life. So I just was mostly doing it with family, but rather than in a group setting. Okay. And was that mostly tent camping then? I did tent camping for a long time, and about ten years ago I stopped After after a situation with me and my daughter where the tent was flooded, I decided that was my last tent trip. Fair enough. When you think back to those times, did you already feel pulled towards adventure or did that kind of come later in life? No, I, I always was adventurous. Um, when I was twenty one, I went and lived in Mexico for a year on my own, and it was just something that people couldn't believe that I did. But I was like, it's an adventure, so I'm going to do it. And it was great. Were you born and raised in Oregon, or is Oregon a second home for you? Yeah. Born and raised native. Oregonian. I started, um, I was born around Roseburg and lived in Dixonville and Winston and then moved into Roseburg in elementary school and then moved to Springfield, which is right, you know, right next to Eugene and moved to Springfield. Um, for fifth grade. Nice. Okay, so when do you remember when kind of RV travel first entered the picture for you? What was that spark? It was really around the time of my divorce. I, I wanted something for me and my kids to do together, and that was comfortable for for them and me. And I decided to buy a little trailer after seeing a women's group at a home and garden show, and they had vintage campers out. Oh, cool. I was looking for vintage camper because they were so cute and I just really thought I if I I can pull a small camper. I knew that I could do that, but I didn't know I couldn't do a big trailer or RV. I just didn't feel ready for that. So, um, I joined the other women's camping group and bought a eighteen foot um twenty twelve to Kana Curve. And it was really perfect for just me and my daughter to start out camping. And then I later, um, would just go camping with women and and, you know, she's my daughter's grown up now, so she doesn't camp with me much. But girl camper has been amazing getting to know women from California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho. And I think it just brings a lot more women into the camping scene that want to be adventurous. I'm really curious to hear about that first RV trip for you around Oregon when you got your first little camper. Tell me, what was that camper? And like, where did you go and what's kind of stayed with you from that experience? Yeah, it was a little Titanic curve, a twenty twelve. And I had never seen a camper like that. It was, um, flat backed and then curved in the front. I decided to take my daughter camping to about three hours away, right along the Columbia River. On the way to hood River. There are some campgrounds there. For some reason I just picked one and said, let's do this. And I of course was working. So after work we left and didn't get there until around eight o'clock at night. There was, you know, people already established that had parked their campers and things like that. Well, I was still new at backing into a parking spot. So I tried it a few times and had a gentleman came over and offered to help, and I said, thank you, but I, I really want to try and learn this. You know, I don't I don't want to have to rely on other people all the time. So I had to drive around the loop again and come in at a different angle. Tried it again several times, and another guy from another campsite came over offering help. And at that point I was like, okay, I this is not the time or place to be practicing. It's already, you know, after eight o'clock we got to get settled. So I let him back it in. And afterwards my daughter, who is twelve, she's like, mama, I can't believe you let a stranger in our car. And I said, he's not going to take off with our camper. He has a way bigger, better camper, you know. But, um, I for a while, I had to be able to accept help. And I tried to stay in my car and just let people, you know, help guide me from outside the car. And so that was that was kind of one of the first times where I was pretty embarrassed that I couldn't park it easily. And bringing that up is the other reason why I love the women's adventure groups, because you're having other women help you park, and it's not as embarrassing. And every camp out, there's always somebody first time or they're very new at parking. And so I love seeing that, you know, we can help them. And they don't have to feel embarrassed thinking it's only something that a man could do. Or maybe only their husbands have done it and they haven't tried it yet. It's funny, we started with a tent trailer, and backing that little tent trailer up is really hard. Yeah, you know, I have a twenty six foot travel trailer now and backs like a breeze. I don't know if it's because I'm just more experienced at backing and towing. I'm sure that's a part of it, but those longer trailers are easier to back up than you know. Those smaller trailers are really squirrelly and they're hard to back up. And I was told that afterward, after I purchased mine, the single axle trailers, they they turn faster. And so now that I've learned how to do it, you just have to go back and forth on the steering wheel to get go back straight. But it's not. Yeah, it backs really fast. It backs and curves really fast versus a double axle. are you still in a pretty small. What trailer are you in right now or what are you using right now? So unfortunately, my first trailer had a leak and it went into the floorboards, so she had to go away. And this past year I bought a, um, twenty twenty four StarCraft August Ridge. Um, still single axle, but she's has a lot, you know, walk around bed, which is what I wanted more room for two people. So if my boyfriend and I go camping, you know, I can have room in there, full bathroom. So it's a little bit nicer and. Yeah, and four feet longer, but definitely it's easy to pull, just like the smaller one. And the walk around beds are game changer. I do not want to climb over people to get up or do whatever, and you're trying to sleep in and the other person's like, I'm going to enjoy having a little quiet and read and have a cup of coffee and, you know, it just doesn't work. It doesn't. Well, I would very much like to hear about. Let's talk about your top three RV destinations in Oregon. Where are they? What makes those places special for you? Yeah, well, I love the Cascade Lakes Highway. So off of the. It's a highway that's up the mountain in the Cascade Mountains. And it's a cut through from that highway to bend, Oregon. It's always it's only open in the in the summer season. It gets a lot of snow in the winter and it's got a lot of lakes on it. So if you drive down that Cascade Lakes Highway, most likely, you know you're going to see lots of different types of campgrounds. A lot of them are primitive with small lakes. But I love Cultus Lake, the Cascade Lakes Highway, and it has there's a resort there, so there's a lot of people that enjoy going there. There's also cabins and campground, and it's got boats and they can rent kayaks or motorboats or anything. It's got a little restaurant. It's just a really nice little place, um, that I had gone a couple times. It gets really hot in the summer, so it's nice. The lake is pretty shallow around the beach, so you can get in and cool off on your inner tubes and stuff, so that's a fun one. And then I also like Tumalo State Park. Tumalo State Park is between Bend and Sisters, Oregon. Have you heard of either? Absolutely have. Yeah, I've heard of Tumalo. It's on my list. I've not made it. Well, you can't make it now because it's so booked every summer that I can't get a reservation anymore. But it's really nice. On one side of the campground, there's the access to the river, so you can float a little bit and swim because it's not a swift river. And then up Upriver. There's fishermen, you know, all the way up the parking lot. And then on the other side of the creek is the campgrounds. They have a little bit of something for everybody. You can park your RV, you can, um, have a yurt. You can, you know, stay in a tent, whatever works for your situation. We stayed in a year, many years ago. And what we didn't anticipate mostly was that it's high desert climate. So we were the yurt was really hot during the day. And so we opened all the windows, turned on the fan, and then at two o'clock in the morning, we were freezing. So then you have to shut all the windows and turn on the heater and and that's just how the high desert is. But we aren't weren't used to it, you know. Right. So I would say if you're going to go make sure that you take, you know, tank tops and shorts and long sleeves and sweaters at the same time. Okay. But yeah, that's a really nice park. My third one, I've got to say is probably Sutton Lake, and that is on the coast in Florence. It's just north of Florence, Oregon, and there's a lake. And then the campground is across the road, across the highway. But there's Sutton Lake and then Sutton Campground, and I've been there several times. It's just really easy to park, easy to pull in. They have options of sites. Some are full hookups, some are primitive. There's a really nice group site there that I've used several times. It is just cement like parking spots. But then it's attached to this big green grassy area with your pavilion, your own bathrooms, and it has a little access to the creek, and it has access to the walking trails to the lake. And it's just in a really good spot. If you were going to be kayaking, you're really close to the lake. If you were going to go beach walking, You're just a few minutes beach walking. And then it's got, um, other trails and nature and plants that are native to that area that are kind of unique. So it's got a lot, a little bit for everybody. And I, I stayed there with a group of about ten women this summer and they just loved it. You know, it was really fun. You're just all right there for the whole time you're there. So those those are probably my favorite ones. And getting from the campground then over to the lake, like if you have a kayak, you know that you're going to bring, is it pretty easy to kind of carry and schlep it over, or can you drive over and park and unload your kayak and then, you know, go back to drop your vehicle off or whatever is there? What does that look like? Yeah. You don't even have to do that. There is a pretty big parking lot at the you have to drive over to the lake, but you can leave your car there. There's a parking lot at the boat ramp. So when you get in, you know there's a little dock and you can paddle around getting out. You just back up. You can back up your rig or have somebody help you carry it to your rig. But it's just a few steps away. It's a pretty small spot. Very beautiful though. Is it easy to hike, bike or e-bike from the campground, then over to the lake? Oh yeah. There's a biking and walking trail and it goes around, um, the the campground and then under the highway to the lake. Okay. Yeah. And if you're really into biking and you want to bike into town or go north and, you know, ride farther north, you can do that. So it's yeah. That's cool. Easy. So what tips do you have for Pacific Northwest rv'ers that perhaps are maybe often overlooked or it's the yeah, yeah, yeah. Neglected, but still very important. What kind of tips do you have for all of us who live here in the Pacific Northwest that, you know, are maybe some reminders or tips for our RVing in Oregon. Yeah, a big one is equipment. So I definitely recommend having a gas fireplace that, you know, you'll spend a little bit of money on that, but you're going to use it a lot. Um, there's wildfires almost every summer in eastern Oregon and, you know, in the Cascade Range and the mountain ranges. And unfortunately, you're, you know, that's not an area where you're going to enjoy camping. So when you are camping in the summer, they own some. Most campgrounds only allow a gas fire pit because they're if they're at the coast or wherever else they are, they're trying to prevent another fire. And it's just to me that I've used it so many times it's paid off, you know, tenfold. So it's nice. That's a great tip. You know, I've, I've, I have one and yeah, I mean, I basically use it from Memorial weekend through Labor Day. Like all summer long. Because that's basically the burn ban, right? And I've thought about getting a solo stove, and I'm not going to be able to use it like I would want to because of the burn ban. So yeah, that's a really good one. Yeah. Thank you. I also know that there's some people who just hate wood smoke in their face, and I love that the gas fire doesn't have smoke. I'm not one of those people. If they made campfire smoke beard oil, I would probably lather my beard in it and just be like, I love it. But yeah, yeah, I'm I'm a weird one, I guess. Um, we're going to talk about some other. Oh go ahead. Did you have another tip? I was going to say, do you, do you have a clam as well? Are you familiar with the clam? The clam? Yeah. There's a it's like a camping tent. It's different in that you're not sleeping in it. Usually it is a mesh covered dome type thing, when if you have a pop up canopy and you have sides on it. The clam is the brand name, but there are generic ones. The the mesh sides help to keep the heat in, so you can put your fireplace inside and have your chairs and stuff inside. And even though mine didn't have sides on it, it just has the mesh. It still stayed warm in there. Um, and we could tell a difference when you unzip it and you go out. It was much colder than inside. But on rainy days, you can put flaps down if you have the one that has the flaps and the rain stays out, you stay nice and toasty. You can keep your chairs in there all weekend and your fire. So it's also used for like bugs and mosquitoes. So if you're somewhere where you don't want to have to swat away bugs and flies and bees when you're eating, you can put it over your camp table or, you know, around your chair so that you don't have to worry that much. Yeah. So that is another piece of equipment that I really recommend to everybody. It's a little heavy, but it mostly comes on wheels. And now they have the easy up pop up for it. So it doesn't take long. And it's called the Clam tent. Yeah. The clam or you know there's generic brands right. But I mean okay. No I've not. That sounds amazing. Thank you. Oh that's great. Yeah it is. It's almost a must too, because you just never know if you're going to have mosquitoes or you know, bees are a real problem to some of the campgrounds. And so when you cook that steak and you put it in on your plate and you're, you know, gonna enjoy it, and then you have to swat away bees and flies, it's just not fun. So yeah. Yeah, that works. Well, that's a good tip. I'm gonna actually absolutely look into one of those, so. Thank you. Well, Arvin is not always picture perfect. What are some of the challenges you've run into. We don't need to talk about today specifically today specifically. But, um, yeah. Tell me about some of the challenges you've run into. So yeah, I will mention today because I did do a small girl camper event and it was a Christmas theme. There was a few people there, not a lot of women, but we had an indoor shelter, which was really nice. And I'm always the last one. I always make sure I'm the last person to leave an event. I don't want any of the girls in girls camper to have a car break down and be stuck there or, you know, some other issue. So after the last woman left today, I loaded my car and went to turn it on and it wouldn't go. It was dead. And so I got my little car. Truck, you know, the charger. So more tools, you know, to carry around and tried it and it was my battery was dead. Luckily I was not too far out and triple A did come and he installed a new battery. But as far as I mean, the biggest things I've had happen to is function of your hitch or, um, you know, falling off or you're trying to hook it up accurately or your lights aren't working. Those kind of things. Um, a lot of a lot of car things or vehicle things. Looking back, is there a mistake you now laugh about but learned a lot from? Yes. So one of the one situation when I had my old camper and I was towing it with my van, it was a pretty light camper. I when I checked in with the Ranger on the way into the campground, they showed me on a map where my site was and you know, they draw that line. Oh, here we are and draws the line down to where my site is. So I just took that route and I didn't, and I didn't realize that to back in, it was in the opposite direction. And then across from my site was bushes and things that I couldn't go very far forward. Right. So I jackknifed my car and camper and dented my car on the back a little. I've done that too. Yeah. Thank you. Now everybody's done that at some point, huh? Yeah. And, you know, I looked at it and I was so mad about it. And then I was like, I'm not gonna. I need to get a fix. I'm not going to get it fixed. I went back and forth. I didn't get it fixed. It was like a year. And then, you know what? Some dude stole a car, was high and hit my truck on my street. So it got fixed by insurance because the dude hit my car, parked. So it got all covered. And now you can't tell I jackknifed it. Oh that's great. Yeah. So, I mean, it all works out. That's great. I really want to dig into girl camper now. Yeah. So please, let's talk about the girl camper community and how. Tell me a bit about for listeners who maybe are not familiar with what girl camper is. Kind of give us the quick one hundred and one and what it is, and then share with me how you got involved and what your experience has been with Girl Camper as a community. And just really tell me. Tell me all about it, please. Yeah. Um, I'm completing my first year as the Oregon Guide with Girl Camper. I have had other a lot of other experience with women and and groups and organizing events as well. And so that wasn't new for me, but Girl Camper is an outdoor adventure group that anybody and everybody is welcome to join. If they're women who want to go on adventures. They don't have to have an RV. They don't have to have it, you know, stay in a tent. They can do car camping, or they could get a yurt close by. And I think that's one thing that a lot of women think. They just they're like, well, I can't go, I don't have an RV or I don't have a camper, and that's not us at all. We're just like, just come out and adventure with us. You can stay wherever you can stay or however you prefer. So that's nice. I think, for girl girl women who are looking to find a women's group, they fit in no matter what they're camping with, and so everybody's included. I really like that. It's just it's not a private group where you have to fit in by having a certain RV or a certain rig. It's just really open to everybody and accepting of everybody. And how many, um, of the ladies there who are part of your community are our viewers and come with their RV? I mean, is that a a pretty large group or do you have is it split kind of between tent and RVers? What's kind of the makeup of that look like? It's mostly campers and RVers. Arby's. Okay. Excuse me. Most of them are trailer travel trailers. Kind of smallish. Um, but, you know, we've had a couple in tents. We've had a couple rent a cabin, and I think that it's just not that common. I think women, it's costly to reserve a your cabin and then the tent is not as you can't go to any climate and feel comfortable in your tent. If it's raining, you know, then you're not going to go in your tent. If you're over forty. It's uncomfortable. Comfortable bed. Yeah. There. That's me. So I think that, you know, the travel trailers, just for every climate, it's easy to pull if it's smallish. And then there's women always there waiting to help back in and problem solve and do things that you know, to support you, to have fun. Yeah, that's so cool. Yeah. And then like, okay, so you just recently, right, had a girl camper weekend where you guys were all camping, right? What did it look like? I mean, were you guys just kind of hanging out in camp chairs and, you know, having beverages and shooting the breeze and playing? You know, I don't know, cornhole and whatever. Or were you going on hikes? Like what? What kind of activities and things. What kind of. Just give me a quick level of what did the day look like. There's a wide variety of what we do during the event, but I always like to try to have something for everybody. So on one of the Campouts recently, it was near a lake, so we had a group of about four women who brought their kayaks, and every morning they went out and kayaked on the lake. We had women who loved the beach because they were from Nevada or somewhere where there's no beach. And so they wanted to spend their days on the beach and and that was great. There's women who wanted to go visit the vintage shops downtown and, you know, kind of see what's down there and just kind of eat lunch out. And so we had a group of women do that, and it's really open to whatever they want to do. But I but I like to offer these, you know, different activities. But then there we have some ladies who are like, I'm just going to sit in camp and read. You know, they just really don't need to go out and do anything. And they just like that break. So does Girl Camper have events where you don't go camping, and maybe you meet at a coffee shop and have a cup of coffee and kind of do like a hey, here's an Irving one hundred and one. You're maybe interested in it, but we're not camping this weekend. Let me just kind of tell you what it's like or what. Tell me about that. Yeah, definitely. I think off season is much more popular, where we'll probably host a luncheon at a restaurant, talk about events, or get to know people who are new. Um, we've done paint parties where, you know, we get an artist to come and show us how to paint different, you know, scenery kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like that. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I've also one person also had a cookie baking, decorating class, you know, just had, you know, a group of women come into her home and they swapped cookies and things like that. So there's lots of ways to get together in the off season. Sometimes we will resent we'll rent a ute or a, um, a room, you know, indoor room or shelter and camp, but spend most of the days in that room eating and crafting or doing other things, just relaxing and chilling, enjoying each other. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I'm curious, how has RV travel changed the way you see yourself? I am a lot more confident in myself now that I have know that I have like towed my camper by myself. I've gone to campgrounds by myself and camped for the weekend alone, and one of those was a little. It was a little scary. It was pitch dark. They didn't have lights. I didn't know anybody there. There wasn't very many people there. And so going and doing those things and and being alone and having to figure stuff out for myself has been a big boost in my confidence in doing other things in life, too. So, you know, buying a house as a single mom is a big thing. You're it's a big responsibility buying a camper, a brand new camper that I never thought I would have a camper. And those things I went into without the fear of pulling a bigger camper or having to figure out payments or anything like that, I just knew that it was something I had to do for mental health, and they needed it to be out in nature and to be with people and to have serene, you know, see the sea. Oregon mostly and and enjoy my life. And it was pretty inexpensive way to do it. I'm not having to rent hotel rooms, right. We're not having these big vacations where I'm renting a condo for a week. It's a weekend here and a weekend there, and it's the price of gas and the campground site and a little bit of food, but we always have way too much food when these women get together. Potlucks, camping anyway. I mean, that's like I bring so much food camping and then I come home. Yeah, yeah, I like to eat, so whatever. And we're never that far from, like, you know, a grocery store. You know, if you need something. Why am I bringing all of this? Right. It's not the Armageddon dystopian future. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Um, let me ask you this. What still really excites you about being around Oregon? I love to explore new, new places, so that's exciting. When I get to find a new campground or a place that I really want to see and I can go, and if it's a long drive to me, it's like, I wouldn't ever do that. Drive in one day and just go for a scenic day out. It's too far. But if now that I have my camper and I know that I can go anywhere with it, I look for campground within the area of the place that I want to visit or see, or the new place that I've heard of and then say, this isn't impossible. It is possible to, you know, see new places in this state. It's so big. There's a lot that I haven't seen yet. I'm currently planning a trip for Eastern Oregon, where I haven't spent a lot of time, but I'm excited about all the things that I could see on the way and the things that I could do. And I'm going to stay in my camper. And I know that's going to be a really fun trip. Painted Hills I'm going one Oregon place I want to go so bad it's on my list. Yeah, it's on my list. To Painted Hills is like, it's up there. All right, let's real quickly, uh, cover what's next for the Oregon chapter of Girl Camper? What do you guys have on the horizon? What's kind of, you know, what can you tease about twenty twenty six? Yeah, I'm. I'm spending kind of the winter scheduling and planning events, figuring out, you know, what will work for who, what lakes are available, which campgrounds are available, group sites that I might like. Um, and then I'm also going to schedule a winter sock exchange at a restaurant and get to know people in the off season. And and hopefully they hear enough adventure stories to where they'll be in our next camping group, you know, in the summer. Where can people follow along on your adventures or learn more about Girl Camper and, you know, follow along on the Oregon chapter of Girl Camper. Where can people learn more about all of that? They can go to our Facebook page, which is, um, Girl Camper Oregon. There's also a regional page because there's no, um, guides in Washington or Northern California right now. So they can go to the region girl Camper regional page and see events that are happening in other states if they might live in Washington. There's might be things posted there for their state, or they can come down to Oregon and camp and just kind of get to meet people that are close by. I love for people to visit the website. If you go to Girl Camper. Com, there is access to or, you know, subscribe to the magazine and you get tips and tricks. You get newsletters if you subscribe and there's just lots of ideas. There's a store where you can purchase items that are handy, or things that women have found that they really like to have all their camping. So there. Yeah, definitely join us on Facebook. And then if you decide you want to go camping, look on the girl camper page. Well, Joanna, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to join us here on RV Out West.
