Writing about our travels in the vast land of China by RV with passion to do the difficult way

Ban Ma RV & Park, the camp has been set up, and time to take care of some remote work.

Slowly heading for Qingdao, we found a camping place in Yantai. Recommended from various forums and the internet. The name is Ban Ma RV & Park, and checked in with ease. The spot for our caravan and car was fully in the bushes, which is normal here, as DIY travels are not so common. They had electricity/water available, so for one night, it was ok. We are in a little hurry as we will meet some friends in Inner Mongolia and need to keep some schedule so as not to be so much sightseeing on the way.

Early morning wake-up call

Early morning wake-up at 6 AM, heaven poured rain like never before. Our awning had collapsed, and also the mosquito tent under it. Rushed out to save some of the shoes and other stuff, but they had mostly soaked already. To be too confident about the weather might hit you when sudden changes. One hint is also to have some weights on the awning legs in windy in the area. Luckily only our shoes and some clothes got wet, + I was like swimming with clothes on. Lessons learned, check the forecast.

This was a big place with yurts and fixed caravans and not so much for kids in the camping place. Outside instead, there was a park with the longest slide I had ever seen. Unfortunately, it was not open during our visit.
