Roberta's Cat House

You never know who you will meet in a campground.That includes the campground host. 

Many campgrounds have a host (or two), generally a husband/wife team, that are the hub of the campground. Since they live in the campground from mid-May until just after Labor Day, they most typically have one heck of a motor home or 5th wheel that they live in. 

 
Hosts are the folks that set out the reservation cards, clean the camp spot after campers leave and keep the bathrooms clean and orderly. They are also a source for campfire wood. For the most part they are personable.  

We got lucky at Union Creek Campground (outside of Baker City, OR) and got a down right friendly host. She lived in THE smallest trailer that we have ever seen for a campground host....ever.

Roberta is a Texas lady that is full of life. This was her first year as a campground host. She loaded up her newly purchased Casita (replacement for the one she took to Alaska) and headed north to Oregon and landed at Union Creek campground.  

Because she was going to be gone so long from her home, Roberta opted to bring her cats - Callie and Boots. After trying to keep her cats in a tent (they scratched through the tent), she found a portable chicken coop and set it up IN the tent.

She is hoping to land in Yellowstone Park for the 2015 season. We wish her luck and hope we run into her again soon!
