The reason is our nice little campground at La Playa is getting more popular every year. There are only 7 campsites that are front row facing the beach and 2 are occupied year-round and 2 are occupied all winter by campers who leave their rigs here and fly in. So that leaves only 3 sites plus 5-7 sites that are scattered around and may or may not have full hookups. Of course they don\u2019t take reservations here. They always seem to be able to handle a few campers who want to stay for a few days but not for the whole winter. There is another campground next door (Bonanza) that has a lot of shade and small sites for tent and van campers, They may have one 15 amp outlet for the entire campground and no sewer hookups.<br \/>\nThere was one site left in La Playa this week that had been occupied by several short term campers over the past few weeks. Claude &amp; Mags from Ontario, who have been here before, got a late start this year but were able to grab this last site on Wednesday morning.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ClaudesRig_TV-252520-252528Custom-252529_thumb-25255B3-25255D.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"ClaudesRig_TV (Custom)\" src=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ClaudesRig_TV-252520-252528Custom-252529_thumb-25255B3-25255D-300x269.jpg\" alt=\"ClaudesRig_TV (Custom)\" width=\"600\" height=\"538\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPeggy &amp; I have been getting out on the beach for our three mile walk every morning since we got here.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/MorningWalk_TV-252520-252528Custom-252529_thumb-25255B2-25255D.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"MorningWalk_TV (Custom)\" src=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/MorningWalk_TV-252520-252528Custom-252529_thumb-25255B2-25255D-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"MorningWalk_TV (Custom)\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/MorningWalk2_TV-252520-252528Custom-252529_thumb-25255B2-25255D.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"MorningWalk2_TV (Custom)\" src=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/MorningWalk2_TV-252520-252528Custom-252529_thumb-25255B2-25255D-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"MorningWalk2_TV (Custom)\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ViewFromCampsite_TV-252520-252528Custom-252529_thumb-25255B2-25255D.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"ViewFromCampsite_TV (Custom)\" src=\"https:\/\/bcpoa.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/ViewFromCampsite_TV-252520-252528Custom-252529_thumb-25255B2-25255D-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"ViewFromCampsite_TV (Custom)\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>The beach has been very clean and not very crowded.<\/p>\n<p>This is a view is from our campsite toward the beach.
