We like this park very much. It is small, very quiet and immaculate. The owners seem to care very much about keeping a neat and clean campground. About 22 of the sites are seasonal but unlike many campgrounds with seasonal campers, the sites at Moose River are clean and neat. No junk around, and the seasonal campers have to wash their rigs twice a season and keep the grass trimmed. We've camped in places where the seasonal rigs looked like they've been sitting there for 20 years. The short term sites, except for pull through sites, are along the banks of the Moose River. These sites are a bit close together for our taste, but siting on the river's edge sipping wine more than makes up for having close neighbors. Moose River is also a great location for touring the Northern Kingdom. We were able to visit Maple Grove Farms, Cabot Creamery, and Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, all in one day. If you want a great meal, try River Garden Cafe in East Burke. We would definitely camp here again when we return to this part of Vermont.

This is a beautiful park in a beautiful location. The full-hookup sites (called 3-way, or fully serviced in Canada) are all in a wooded area, pull through, large & private. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in this area. Cavendish has more "touriste shoppes" than the rest of PEI--due to "Anne of Green Gables" but compared with Myrtle Beach in North Carolina, you are in the middle of nowhere. We were expecting a dreadfully commercialized area and were very surprised at how low key it really is. The shore drive in the park down to Rustico Harbor is breathtaking. We definitely will return here. WiFi is available for free at the nearby PEI NP Visitor Center.

This place is stunningly neat and clean. The RV sites for the most part are a little too close together with no trees/shrubbery to separate them. On the other hand their tent sits are wonderfully private and in the woods. The only serious complaint we have is that the showers (free) are small and there really is no privacy in the dressing area. It is a great location for visiting the Bennington area and we would come back.

We love it here. One could not ask for a better of park. The sites are roomy, in the woods, have lots of shade, (or some very sunny spots in a field if you want), W&E, WiFi. In addition you are near Camden ME, a quintessential Maine seaside community. We recommend a windjammer cruise on Penobscot Bay. Sure you may have to level you RV, and there may be a few mosquitoes, but remember you are in the woods, camping, not in a Holiday Inn parking lot! Enjoy it for what it is. We plan to come back here many times

We love this park. Large, clean, private sites, clean well landscaped grounds, and gorgeous beaches. Reservations, for this time of year anyway, are a must. We booked 11 months in advance and had a limited choice. We have already booked for April 2009 and most of the sites were already booked.

The beach is beautiful, but many of the sites are short and narrow and the road bumpy and narrow. You are also far from a grocery or other supplies. Overall, we much prefer Henderson Beach and Grayton Beach State Parks. The no-see-umms and the mosquitoes were terrible in April; our dog ended up needing a visit to the vet because of bug bites around her eyes. We did not have bug problems at Grayton or Henderson Beach campgrounds. Are there different spraying policies at the different beaches? Also, St Joes recently had a "controlled burn" so much of the area was burned off and not very attractive.

This is a wonderful park in the middle of nowhere. Very quiet, lots of wildlife, and dark skies. Only 20 sites have W/E, the other 15 are equestrian sites with paddocks but no W/E. The sites are level and roomy in a grove of live oak in the middle of 50,000 acres of Florida Prairie. Make sure you come equipped with plenty of groceries and stuff because you are about 30 miles from the nearest grocery store.

This park has it all: great scenery, water, electric, and sewer sites, and new this year, WiFi access, and a dog friendly beach (some time limits in summer). This is our second visit and we plan to be back again next year.

We love this place. We were right on the river, for which we gave up a sewer connection (no problem for 4 days) Most of the sites are grassy and have lots of space. There are some close together, gravel spaces, along the river which some might hate but a camper said to us last night -- who in fact was "crammed in between 5th wheels" -- "Isn't this beautiful." Sites not on the river are slightly cheaper and they offer a Good Sam discount. WiFi is strong here at our river site where I am typing the review. We would recommend a drive down to "Natural Bridge" (get directions in the office). The Boulder River valley is spectacular and the views into the gorge at Natural Bridge aren't for the faint of heart.

We love this campground. It is heavily wooded and the sites are a nice size with lots of privacy. It is very much like a typical state park. They offer a Good Sam discount or 1 free night with the purchase of 6 nights. It is hilly and backing into some of the sites with a big rig might require some finesse. It is very close to the West Entrance to Glacier National Park. We would come back here the next time we are in the area. WiFi is available near the front office, but not in the further sites. If you are looking for a football field-type campground with cable TV, on-site WiFi and swimming pool go elsewhere. If you want to feel like you are camping in Glacier NP, come here!

We give this a 9 rating for a 1 or 2 night stop over--probably would not rate it so high as a destination. The campground is spacious, has great scenery, the sites are reasonably large but the lack of trees means no privacy at your site to speak of. Everything is spotlessly clean and neat. The sites have a gravel pad for your rig, but the rest is grass which helps keep the trailer clean inside. We only needed one layer of leveling blocks to even out our trailer.

If there is a prettier location for a campground anywhere we haven't found it yet! You are surrounded by mountains and look down on a beautiful lake. Plus, in 20 minutes you can be in Yellowstone National Park! The sites are large and there is plenty of space between sites. Our site, 17, is at the head of a loop and we have an unobstructed view to the lake and mountains. Henry's lake is renown for fishing, but no one I talked to here (last week of August 2007) has caught more than 1 or 2 fish all week. We would definitely come back here again.

The best thing to say about Red Trail is that it is very convenient to Theodore Roosevelt National Park and it has full hook-ups and WiFi. The sites are very small and close together. We never even looked in the rest rooms. The park is clean and the guests were quiet, but it is not attractive at all. We'd only come back here if we couldn't find anything better near TR NP.

This is a beautiful park. There are may sites with a view of Lake Sakakawea, but none are "on" the lake. The sites are large and well separated, and grassy. The pads are pretty level, but did require some small adjustment. There is very little shade, but that is the nature of the great planes and not something that one can fault the park for. we would definitely camp here again.

I can't believe the previous reviewer was in the same Elk River, Wapiti Park that we were in! The sites are very small and close together; electric service, at least for non-permanent campers is 20 amp and there are NO sewer hook-ups available except in the seasonal or permanent sites. All but a few sites are filled with seasonal or full time residents complete with tool sheds, old cars and trash. The first site they offered us was so small I thought they had made a mistake-- that it wasn't a site at all, plus the electric outlet and water tap was being used by adjacent campers. Then they offered a site next to a permanent camper with a chain link dog kennel (complete with 3 barking Labs) in the back. As much as I love Labs, I wanted to leave at this point but they have, of course, a NO REFUND policy. Once they have your money you can leave if you want and tough luck--indeed, someone in the office as much as said that to me, twice! Finally the owner came by and offered us their group site. This was on the river, grassy, and large enough that we didn't need to look at other campers trash. The Elk River is very muddy and we had no desire to get in it. Oh yes, there are Emus walking around. Would we come back?--NO, NEVER, not under any circumstances.

This park was a big disappointment. It was old and in disrepair. The sewer sites are not on Lake Eufala (Walter F. George reservoir), only near a creek leading to the lake. The beach (on the creek) seems to be a mix of construction sand and goose droppings. Most of the paved roads in the camping area are crumbling apart. There was a lot of litter blowing around and our sewer connection was clogged and backed up when we tried to use it. We stayed 2 nights only because we wanted a chance to visit Providence Canyon, nearby in Georgia (well worth a visit). Georgia's Florence Marina State Park is not far from Lakepoint and a much nicer campground.

Unicoi is a very nice state park in Northeast Georgia. All of the sites are terraced on hill-sides which can make backing in a bit tricky. The sites have the usual table and fire ring and the sewer sites back to a small brook. The camp host was friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is quite beautiful, especially the loop following routes 17, 180, and 384 going by Brasstown Bald (GA's highest peak). The park has a lodge with a reasonably priced restaurant. We plan to go back--Fall should be beautiful here.

Hungry Mother is an old park and shows it. The rest room facilities were old and run down, and as clean as they could be in their condition. Fortunately, a new building was under construction when we were there. The sites with sewer hook ups are outside of the main park, in a former private campground, which appears to be undergoing some level of remodeling. The Water/Electric sites are very close together with little privacy with the sites right on Hungry Mother Creek the nicest. Very large rigs (more than 35') are not allowed on the park road--for good reason. It is narrow with lots of sharp turns. All things considered we probably wouldn't stay here again.

We liked this park very much, The sites are well spaced and large. The area is forested and quiet. There is a lot of wildlife--be respectful. We saw several poisonous snakes, including a timber rattler killing a hawk. There were manatees at the end of the spring run in the Suwannee River almost every morning, although it was late in the year for them.

We like this park very much. It is small but the sites are spacious and private with lots of trees. The restrooms were new and they had a washer and drier, although the washer was out of order during our visit. The cavern tour was very interesting and there are nice nature walks. They have a swimming "hole" but it wasn't very appealing to us old folks.

This is a beautiful park and unusual for a state park in having full hook-ups and paved pads. About 12 of the sites back up to two of the small lakes in the park. We had site 73, which has an excellent view across the lake. We had a small alligator visit us one afternoon when we were grilling chicken; he (she?) seemed to have smelled it across the lake as he made a sharp turn and headed straight for our site. The down-side of the park is that the gorgeous beach is about 3/4 of a mile from the campsites. A shuttle runs back and forth every hour but it does force you to a schedule

We actually like this park better than Topsail Hill State Park (10 miles away). It is much smaller and there are no sewer hookups, but the overall feeling is much more natural. And, the rate is half what Topsail Hill charges. Sites 6-20 (even #s only)are about 20-25' from Western Lake, a natural dune lake, which are found in the Florida Panhandle and few places elsewhere in the world. A big plus to us was the fact that one could drive to the beach area and not be dependent on a scheduled shuttle. The sites are very private and nicely shaded. We saw several smaller Class "A" units here, but I expect a 40-45' unit might have a tight squeeze.

This is a beautiful campground. The sites a closer together than in some state parks, but had plenty of privacy because of the shrubs between the sites. The sites are quite level and clean but if you have a tent bring lots of spikes instead of stakes as the limestone is like cement. A great place to sit and enjoy a tropical paradise and sip a margarita!

We were very disappointed in this park. The sites were very close together and very short; there was no room for the table beside our trailer and barely room in the rear. It is a good location for visiting the Everglades, and if you are into boating and scuba diving you would probably be happy here. We would not come back.

This is an unusual park for the Forest Service in that it has sewer hook ups. The campground is spacious and park-like but some of the sites are very close together. In our site, we had to sit behind our trailer to avoid staring into our neighbor's sewer hook-up. On the other hand, some other sites were quite spacious and positioned so that one had a nice view. The whole Ocala National Forest Area is quite beautiful and we made several side-trips to other springs to swim and walk. We were disturbed that one of the campground hosts displayed a Confederate Flag. I think these flags are in very poor taste, especially for the host! Some cell-phone service is available if you walk around for a clear signal. We do plan to return.

This campground has to rate in the top 5 on anyone's list. Miles of pristine sand dunes and beautiful gulf beach. The CG sites are roomy and level and many have shade. There is one pull through site. Lots of birds here and at night the sky is dark and the stars beautiful. Washrooms are spotless and look new.

This is a beautiful park. The only comment I would make is that some of the sites are very difficult to back into because of overhanging trees. We think our site, #91, was the worst; avoid it if you can. I had 4 people giving me directions and we made it in with no damage, but it was exhausting! The rate given above includes taxes and ReserveAmerica fees

I think this was once a very nice park. They had a serious fire a few years ago and lost all of the trees in the "Pine Grove" area. We were fortunate in having one of the few sites that still had some tall trees around it. Most of the campground is very barren looking. The hosts also need to do a bit more cleaning up of the sites. There was a lot of trash in our site and dog waste! The park itself is nice with nice trails and a boat tours of the Loxahatchee River.

This is a great park. The restroom facility in the River Camping area is brand new and spotless. They also installed brand new washers and driers the second day we were there. I wouldn't consider either the beach camping loop or the river loop "waterfront." The majority of the river loop sites are large and easily accommodate large motor homes although the top clearance is close on some sites. The sites have a lot of privacy and the area is thick with saw palmetto and live oak. Most of the sites look very level to me and it was not necessary on our site (#24) to adjust the side-to-side level. The sites have fire rings on concrete bases which makes for terrible draft and it can be difficult to get a nice fire going. Overall this is a "10" campground if you like nature and quiet. We will be back.

Very nice nice park for an overnight stop. Handy to I95. Clean, nicely laid out. Level gravel roads and sites. Save $4 with your KOA card. Free WiFi (which lets me do the review real time). Staff is friendly. The cable TV is a bit snowy. We particularly like the fenced-in doggy play area. It was nice to be able to let our Lab run free for a while.

Hunting Island State Park is beautiful and the campground would be a 10 if it had more privacy in the showers and a washer and drier. The sites away from the ocean view are deep in saw palmetto and live oak woods. The oceanside loop has many long-leaf pine. There is a great variety in site depth so check before you reserve. There are also pull through sites. There are some wonderful nature walks through woods that remind you of Jurassic Park! We kept expecting to see T-Rex pop out of the woods. We did see an alligator at the visitor center.

If you like quiet, out of the way campgrounds with beautiful scenery and nothing to do but enjoy it, then Steven Foster State Park is for you. It is located 17 miles from Fargo, GA on a pine island in Okefenokee Swamp and is part of Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. (Because the State Park is in the National Refuge you may use a Golden Age passport for a 20% discount on the campsite fee.). The sites are large, private, and very wooded. Even the pull through sites have great shade. There is a great nature trail, most of which is on an elevated boardwalk through the swamp. The park offers canoe and boat rentals for excursions out into the lakes. There is also a guided boat tour that takes you out alligator watching. We saw alligators everywhere on the banks and in the water. We also saw Anhinga, cormorant, and pileated woodpeckers.

This is a real pretty little state park located in the Allegheny Mountains and features some outstanding scenery. We would have rated it “10” except that we think that the restrooms/showers need a good hard scrubbing and/or modernizing. They are not dirty, but not as clean as they could be. That said, we should note that the restroom/shower building in section "B" (“Beaver Dam”) is being renovated at this time. We hope that the facilities in section "C," (“White Oak”), where we camped, will be re-done in the near future. The sites are shaded, very deep and wide, and they are (with a few exceptions) far apart. The whole of the White Oak section is heavily treed. Each site has a table, fire ring with a grill and a lantern post. The position of the lantern post will interfere with your rig’s awning if you do not pay attention to where you are parking. The lake is great for swimming and, I am told, great for fishing, but I never caught anything! There are two pull through sites in the White Oak section and we saw several large rigs, in the 38’-39’ range in the back-in sites. The dump station is conveniently located adjacent to the restroom/shower building. The lake side sites do not have water and electric hook-ups and are mainly for tents. There are many hiking trails in the park and a restaurant overlooking the lake. The town of Clifton Forge has two supermarkets and is only 6 miles from the park. We plan to go back many times.

The Seven Points Recreation Area has 261 sites spread over 6 camping areas. I was in the "Ridge Camp," which has 43 rather uncrowded sites and a lot of shade. Meadow Camp and Valley Camp have very little shade. Point Camp has shade but is very crowded. Likewise, Senoia Camp and Bay Camp have shade but are very crowded. The Seven Points area is extremely hilly and just about every site is terraced. In some cases the parking/trailer area is as much as 5 or 6 feet above or below the picnic table area, depending on location. My site, #6 in Ridge Camp, was one of just a few that had no terracing at all. In Senoia Camp (sites 172 - 261) , for example, each row of sites is higher than the R/V tops of the previous row. Indeed, Senoia Camp reminded me of a 3rd world hillside slum. In Senoia Camp, there is a row of sites right on the shore of Raystown Lake, but one doesn't have water access because of the slope. One must back ones trailer into a narrow space perched many feet above the surrounding land and then walk down a flight of steps to the picnic table. A dramatic view, but I would be very nervous trying to back in. I saw one pull through site in the Senoia Camp. Point Camp does have sites with water access. The restroom building I used was old but clean, except that the shower stalls could use a good spraying of mildew remover. The staff I met were all friendly and helpful. When I reached my site I found that the picnic table was missing, it seems that a nearby site had scarfed up 3 tables --somewhat rudely I think. Anyway, after reporting the missing table to the check-in, the maintenance staff were there returning tables to the correct sites within 15 minutes. They honor Golden Age Passports so the $11 per night rate is a bargain.

This is a very nice park. Very clean. Very quiet. Everyone was very friendly and courteous to us. They offer “Good Sam” discounts and I had forgotten my card. They immediately called the Good Sam 800 number and got my membership information and gave me the Good Sam Discount. Yes they have a lot of “Rules,” but many people do dumb things if they aren’t reminded not to do it from time to time. Our site (A-7) was particularly nice as the door side of our trailer faced an open entrance lawn and not the side of another RV. We enjoyed watching all the big rigs come in. They are pet friendly (the owners have a dog) but you are expected to clean up after your dog, which is common courtesy. Since many of the sites were very crowded and not shaded we only rate this park a 8 over-all. (We give a lot of points for cleanliness and quiet.) We stayed 3 nights; it was a shake-down cruise for our brand new 25’ Bigfoot. It was less than 50 miles from our home if we had any serious issues.

This is a brand new Virginia State campground, which just opened Memorial Day weekend in 2006. Sites 1 to 23 are for tents and have no hookups. Sites 23 through 46 have water and electric. There are several large pull-through sites that could handle the largest class A rig. All the sites are large, level and well separated. Each site has a large table, fire ring and lantern pole. The sites are constructed very well with crushed stone for car and RV and with a large area of pea-gravel for tents or other shelters. The drainage is excellent. We were there during Virginia’s record breaking rainstorms and the site stayed free of standing water. The campsites are only a short walk from Lake Anna, which has a nice clean beach, snack bar, picnic areas, and boat launch. There is a dump station on the campground entrance road that can handle two rigs at the same time. The $29 rate is for water/electric sites. Dry sites are $23. The camping rate includes the State Park admission and use of the beach. This is a beautiful location and we plan to return many times.
