We had an enjoyable trip and would probably do it again. We spent hours the first day getting the fridge working (temporarily) and pumping up the tire that was low when we picked up the van. Other than the general maintenance, everything else went smoothly. We enjoyed the stove and the surfboards. Our favorite spot was the first on the list and the first we tried. In hindsight, I would go ahead and reserve camping for convenience and variety for our week-long trip!
