Glamis North KOA kamping style

Glamis North KOA is different. It's the only KOA (that we know of) that closes for the summer and stays open only during the winter. The type kamper that is most prevelant is the type with "toys", you know, the kind with motors and fat tires that play well in the surrounding desert terrain. ATV's, if you please. Almost all sites are large, pull-throughs with full hook ups. There are a few back-in sites, and ten housekeeping cabins

Some of the kampers and some of their toys. The most common type of RV you will find here is the kind referred to as a toy hauler. Chocolate Mountains in the background.

Here's a dad supervising his kids on the practice track. The track is a great place for kids to learn handling skills before heading out into the desert.

Some of the ATV's heading out for a trek in the desert.

Many of the custom and/or homemade ATV's are based on the Volkswagen chassis and engine.

There are several styles of desert buggies. This one is custom made.

Pat with some of the staff in Sassy's Outback Cafe. Josue (say ho sway) and Kyle.

This stack of US Mail boxes kind of portrays how remote we are.

Sassy's is a classy little restaurant. There is also an outdoor deck for additional seating. Great food, and you can review the menu on the Glamis North KOA website.

This is the kind of sunset we have to endure (not that that's a problem). Looking west, of course, across a bit of desert, the Salton Sea and Santa Rosa Mountains. We can handle it. By the way, it was about 87 deg here at mid-day, and still 60 deg at 9 pm. How is it up north? Come see us.
