Price is Good Sam with the tax. Flat, large gravel sites with picnic tables, cable, fast wi-fi. Large, individual showers. Wasn't very crowded so we had lots of privacy. Free coffee and muffins in the morning. Road noise from I-40.

The people who run this were extremely friendly to us; don't know what the previous poster's trouble was. It is a parking lot-style park attached to a mobile home place. Sites are flat and close together. The bathrooms are modern and very clean. There's free coffee, cookies and paper in the morning. The road noise was surprisingly loud given its distance from the interstate.

The price reflects the Good Sam discount. It is a shady campground with grass and flat, large sites. The WiFi was fast. The bathrooms were very clean. The womens room only had 2 large showers. There's a trail down to the Flathead River. There is some road noise.

It has grassy campsites, with shade mostly in the tent and kabin areas. There are ample bathhouses, nicely done up. The wi-fi was usually slow. Our site was uneven but large. It is quiet at night.

A good place to stay along US 2. The sites are large and flat. There was some road and train noise. The inn has been sprucing up the front area, and there was plaster dust in the fitness room and by the pool and hot tub, but for the price, it was nice to have those recreational activities available. We couldn't get any over-the-air TV. We had wi-fi at our site (#1) but saw other campers bringing their laptops to the lobby. The rest rooms have 2 showers in each, and they're the kind where it's one big stall--you can hang your clothes over the shower curtain rod and they won't get wet--and there's a hook on the wall for jackets. My husband got some paint on his shorts, but the walls are probably dry by now.

Tucked in a canyon about a mile west of town, with lots of trees but none that get in the way. Some of the sites are kind of small and the road up into the campground is a bit narrow. Bathrooms are outstanding, with individual toilet-sink-shower rooms that even have hair dryers. The shuttle into town leaves once an hour until 10 p.m.; it's free but they have a tip jar, kind of tacky. Lots of cable channels, fast wi-fi.

Lots of shade, flat sites, friendly hosts. Food available in the morning and evening. Decently sized pool. Wi-fi was not the best, non-existent sometimes, fast others. It's about a 5 minute drive to the national park entrance. Bathrooms are above average for a KOA. Quite a value.

A nice place but $42 is a lot to pay for a cold shower at 7:30 am. The view of the Belle Fourche Canyon and Devils Tower can't be beat. Sites are large and grassy; tent and cabin sites are right up against the canyon. Nice pool. The bathrooms get covered with bugs at night, and it would be nice if the staff spent more time cleaning them in the morning than they spend riding around in golf carts.

Considering the prices of motels in Jackson, I don't think the price for this campground is outrageous. It is a parking lot-style campground, but it has grass, trees, magpies, and views of nearby mountains. The pool and hot tub are large and have chairs around them and grass. The check-in person was friendly. We were able to connect to the free lodge wi-fi from our site, which wasn't all that close to the lodge, but it was slow. Across the street is the public library, where the wi-fi is free and fast, so we used that as well. It's about a mile walk to the Town Square, a few blocks to a supermarket, less than that to some restaurants. There's quite a lot of traffic noise. It could use more bathrooms, especially sinks; it was packed in the morning when the campground was full.

This is probably the nicest campground in the area, where rv parks are sparse. It's a parking lot-style place. There would have been a lot of road noise had it not rained all night. The showers are small, individual ones. There's a small pool. Wi-fi was OK.

Very nice campground with lots of shade. Two loops are reserved for RVs more than 20 feet long. Easy walking to Rim Trail and visitors center, and a shuttle stop is there. All sites with picnic tables and fire pits. Bathrooms have cold water only but the faucets in ours at least stayed on when you turned them. Unfortunately, a window was broken and a bird was in there one night. Quiet at night.

Really pretty park with huge spaces and lots of shade. Many of the sites are on the reservoir. There's are a couple of swimming beaches, a bike trail, marina, store. The bathrooms have showers and hot water. Electricity worked well, no water hookups. Quiet midweek. Prices includes the park entrance fee.

Probably not the nicest of the Glacier NP campgrounds but it worked for us. Our site, A10, was close to the path to the visitors center, close to the bathroom, had plenty of shade, was a pull-thru, and had its own water spigot. The rest rooms have toilets and sinks and are frequently crowded. There was some road noise from US 89.

This is not the National Forest campground but an RV park just west of the entrance to Red Canyon. It's flat and has grass but no trees. Cable is free. The bathrooms are clean with two showers and two stalls in each (men's and women's). It's about 15 miles into Bryce Canyon from here. The road noise started before dawn, but I doubt the National Forest's Red Canyon campground is any quieter, since it also sits on Highway 12.

We stayed both here and at the Napa County Fairgrounds in Calistoga and think this one is nicer. The bathrooms are in better condition. The shower, while resembling one in a high school gym, was hot and clean. The wi-fi was out when we were there. It's a lot quieter than the one in Calistoga. And it's a lot cheaper.

Very nice campground, lots of grass, trees and birds. It's right on US 20 but Arco is pretty small so the noise wasn't too bad. The bathrooms have individual stalls and showers. The hosts were extremely nice. Very clean place, even the grills were spotless. The wi-fi went out a few times but mostly worked fine. Small miniature golf course, lots of tables for sitting around on the grass.

One of the nicest parking lot-type campgrounds we've been in. It's northwest of Boise, closer to Garden City, so it's convenient if you're heading north to one of the scenic byways. The bathrooms were excellent, very clean and up-to-date The smallish showers could use a few more places to put stuff but the terrycloth bathmats are a nice touch. There's a large lending library, game room, fitness equipment, flat-screen TV in the rec room, also a bike/jogging path across the road. It was quiet at night. The wi-fi worked well and you get tons of cable channels.

Very large and clean, very busy on a Monday night mid-June. Free coffee in the morning. Laundry is $2 a load, 25 cents for each 10 minutes of drying. Huge playground. Quiet, convenient. Helpful staff. Could use a few more rest rooms to avoid having to wait in line for the showers. No fires allowed. Good store with lots of travel information.

Across the highway from Diamond Lake, where there are many National Forest campsites. It sits in the trees, with picnic tables at each site. The bathrooms are older but the showers were hot and strong. A bike trail goes around the entire lake. The wi-fi could be slow, but we had 2 computers and they gave us passwords for each one. Very quiet at night. We had no problems with mud but the mosquitoes were pretty persistent.

Very nice park with easy access into Portland. Some of the sites are kind of small and they're pretty close together, but there is a lot of grass behind them as well as benches to sit on. The Wi-Fi was slow much of the time. The showers and bathrooms are huge, separate, individual rooms with great water pressure. High-efficiency washing machines are only $1.25 a load. There's a small trail that runs under the highway and takes you into a subdivision; follow the sidewalk about a half mile and you'll come to a huge public park with ball fields, tennis courts, trails. We took the bus into Portland. You catch it across the highway and can take it to the heart of downtown or beyond. It was less than $2 each way to go downtown. The highway noise is kind of loud.

Huge campground with most of the RV sites in the northern loops. Sites are wooded, many are pull-through. Cold water only in the restrooms. Pine trees, birds, convenient to the Canyon section of the park but not easy to walk to places.

A parking lot-type of campground with trees around the loops. The restrooms have hot and cold water, a real plus and not something we found at the other 3 Yellowstone campgrounds we stayed at. The area buildings are very nice, some are historic, the store is huge and has a bargain loft. Could use more rest rooms.

We liked this campground a lot; this and Canyon were our favorites out of the 4 Yellowstone campgrounds we stayed in. Some of the sites are right on the lake (I loop, I think), they're all shaded with pines and many are pull-thrus. Only cold water in the rest rooms. Very quiet.

A pretty campground with lots of pine trees and elk nearby. We were bothered by the road noise--the highway leading into the park from West Yellowstone is right nearby. Our restrooms were modern, more upgraded than some in other loops, but there was no hot water.

Lovely sites, quiet campground. Some tight sites with low-hanging branches. It's convenient to the store and a restaurant and 7 miles from the lake. While there isn't hot water in the campground bathrooms, you can use the sinks and showers at the Mazama Store, where there is hot water. They were closed by 8 p.m., though. The showers are 75 cents for 4 minutes, and only 1 was working on the morning I was there, so there was a line. I got the impression that they could use more facilities for the number of people they get--the rest rooms closest to our site had 1 sink and 2 stalls, so there was a line at 9:30 p.m. Can't imagine what it's like during the busy season.

Very nice campground, if a little pricey ($4 extra for our 12-year-old), but then things are pricey on the coast. We enjoyed the indoor pool and spa. It was nice to be able to walk across the street to the beach. The wi-fi worked pretty well. We had trouble getting the bathroom doors open several times and had to ask for help--the locks are tricky if the person who last closed them didn't close them all the way. The bathrooms closest to the office are the nicest and most modern. Stop at the Pelican Pub for a good meal.

Excellent parking lot-style park. Clay, the host, is very helpful and gracious. We were camped by the office, where the bathrooms were spotless and had lots of hot water, and a free handicapped-accessible shower. The laundry is the cheapest I've seen at a campground so far--$1 per load, $1 for 45 minutes of drying (high efficiency washers). The wi-fi was fast. We walked across the bridge to Old Town; there's a stairway for pedestrian access. We also walked to Rogue Brewery and its distillery, to the Science Center and around the boats and docks. It's all quite convenient. And it's a really quiet campground, despite being close to 101.

This is really a parking lot-type park, with sites one on top of the other and quite short and narrow. The Wi-Fi was really fast. We could only get a dozen or so cable channels. The bathrooms are in an older building but are clean and up-to-date inside. We heard 4 or 5 freight trains come by in the night and they were very, very loud. Friendly host. Many permanent residents.

A nice setting with lots of grass and trees, and a creek. The person who checked us in was rather surly. We were charged a rate higher than what was stated on the website. The bathrooms could really use an upgrade--one of the faucets doesn't even have a top on it; they're easily the shabbiest of the dozen or so KOAs we've stayed in. Fast Wi-Fi, many cable channels. Lots of road noise.

The price was $27.50 with the reservation fee. The redwoods are tall and the sites are pretty, with picnic tables and fire pits at each. We preferred Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park to this one because there you get hot water in the restrooms, the visitors center is larger, and there are elk nearby, but Jed Smith was quite pretty, too.

Very nice KOA with grass, trees, level sites, heated pool, good wi-fi, lots of cable channels, free movies (sometimes), ice cream socials (sometimes), recumbent bikes. Although the previous poster noted no fire pits, we had something that's a grill on one half and open on the other; obviously, you can have a fire in it, so I don't know what he/she was looking for. Bathrooms are in good shape, water is hot. Friendly hosts. Quiet.

Our rate was Good Sam with an extra person. Nice parking lot-type place. Could use some signs in the bathrooms explaining how to work the fans (on timers with the lights) and saying "no smoking." Wi-Fi was fast, plenty of cable channels. Road noise from US 101. Flat, long, pull-through sites.

A parking lot-type of campground within walking distance of the Bandon Shopping Center and Old Town. The bathrooms have 2 stalls and 1 shower apiece and they're very clean and have timed heaters and a massage-option shower head. There is road noise from 101 but I've experienced much worse. Friendly and helpful management.

We stayed at Elk Prairie Campground, one of several in the state park (the fee of $7.50 for a reservation is not included in the above price). This is a great state park with beach access and redwoods access, plenty of big trees, campfire programs, elk meadows. Our site, 42, had a secluded picnic table and fire pit. There are a lot of low-hanging trees around. Maximum camper length is 27 feet. The restrooms have hot water and the showers are coin-operated but quite modern. Nice visitors center.

Small campground that often fills up early. The single site with hookups is no great shakes; a few others have views of the mountains and lake, so try for one of those. Some of the sites are pretty short. Grass and trees are abundant and some of the turns are tight. Very quiet at night. We saw deer several times. It's close to the Signal Mountain resort and general store.

This park is close to the beach with lots of trees and grass. It's very popular with tent campers. It's a short walk to the beach. There are plenty of rest rooms--individual, gender neutral--and coin-op showers, which we didn't use. There are also water spigots around, sinks to watch dishes, fire pits. It was pretty clean and quiet for a state park. The $7.50 per reservation online charge is a ripoff (the price listed here is without this fee included). It's only a few miles up to Hearst Castle. The park only allows generators between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., which makes preparing breakfast difficult; we ended up driving to a nearby parking lot to plug in the coffee maker.

Nicely wooded campground with lots of amenities. Our rate didn't include sewer but was for 3 people, paying cash. The pool is heated and fairly large and the playground is really nice. The park abuts Henry Cowell State Park (which was full), and there are lots of trails through the redwoods. The push-button showers aren't too bad but the push-button sinks are really annoying--it's really hard not to splash water all over the place. The showers are decent-sized and the water was pretty hot. There's a space heater on a timer in the bathroom, too. I'm not sure why they got a 9.5* from Trailer Life--each has only 2 stalls and 2 sinks, and there is the push-button factor. Not very many for a campground this size. But they were quite clean. The Wi-Fi was fast and the cable gets 70 channels.

Nice parking lot-style park, great location, wide spaces, quieter than you would think being on US 101. They clean the rest rooms around 6-7 p.m., which is kind of unusual in our experience, but there are two sets of rest rooms, so you can use the ones they're not cleaning. The rest rooms are very nice, modern. The door locks have proven problematic for some people--all three of us found ourselves helping other campers use them at some point, and they're a pain if you're carrying anything. The Wi-Fi is fast most of the time. The cable doesn't have a ton of channels but is fine. The staff is very helpful with regard to information about getting around San Francisco via public transportation. It's a short walk to both the bus and the ferry; we used both and found them very nice (tour bus-like buses). A Cost Plus and BevMo are a less than 10 minute walk away; a Trader Joe's is opening in that same mall soon. The pool is heated. I was going to use the laundry but thought it too expensive ($2.50 for a hot load).

Flat sites in a variety of sizes and a parking lot-type place. Bathrooms were just painted, they're older and the showers are the push-button kind--mine shut off every 15 seconds. The water in the bathrooms frequently didn't get past lukewarm. The vanity area is new-looking. It's right across the street from the dunes and beach with the rock and the waterfront only a short distance away. You can actually walk to the Embarcadero area by cutting across the beach and then taking a walking path.

This park is about 12 miles from Escondido in a quiet area. The short-term sites are terraced and dirt covered with big shade trees. The first site we were assigned wasn't very flat, so we moved. It was a long walk up the hill to the bathhouses and pool, but there were rest rooms without showers close by. There are also horses and ducks around, nice atmosphere. One of the bathhouses was a lot nicer and newer than the other. The pool wasn't heated. The laundry room had a sign that said "9-4," which I and others chose to ignore--who wants to do laundry when it's 100 degrees out? But when I was in the laundry room around 5, the caretaker came in, prepared to lock up; if I hadn't been in there he probably would have locked me and the others doing laundry out. Each site had a picnic table.

One of the nicest private campgrounds we've stayed at in the three weeks we've been in California, and one of the nicest KOAs anywhere. Large, flat, gravel sites, trees. Typical KOA-style bathrooms, the showers could be a little larger to avoid splashing your stuff, but very clean. Tons of stuff to do as per the previous review.

A basic parking lot-style RV park that's right off I-80. It's a little tricky to get into--even with the TL map and directions we still missed the frontage road the first time. The owners were friendly and helpful. The lounge where Wi-Fi is available is only open during the day, and the cable TV gets about a dozen channels. The bathrooms were clean; unfortunately, the water in the showers would occasionally turn scalding hot for a few seconds before going back to normal. Our site was a level pull-through. The highway noise was pretty loud.

Very nice campground, large, level sites, small trees. The bathrooms have individual shower rooms with large showers. The Wi-Fi worked pretty well. It's fairly quiet. There are some dirt trails nearby for running or biking. It's close to Walker Lake and the mountains.

This is Yosemite's largest campground. If you have a choice, get a site on an outside loop--some of the ones in the 200s loop border a creek. It's shaded with big glacial boulders all around and pine needles on the ground. We had 3 different sites -- we made reservations in January for May and couldn't get 4 nights all in the same spot. Spot 85 in the lower loop had the advantage of being a short walk from shuttle stop 19 and was next to the bathrooms (cold water only, 2 stalls). Spot 201 was less shaded and farther from the campground entrance, although you could cut through the woods and pick up the shuttle at stop 16. The spots to park the rig on are mostly very small and narrow, but there is a lot of room around them to put your stuff. Spot 215 was too close to the bathroom and had a dumpster next to it, so people were always banging around the place. You can get wi-fi at Yosemite Lodge for $5.95 for 5 days; sit in the lobby. The breakfast buffet at Curry Village is a good deal, $9.50 including drinks, and had some very good food. Overall, the campground could be a little cleaner, and there could be more policing of other campers, but it was pretty quiet most of the time. Beware of careless children riding their bikes around, especially when you're trying to park.

This state park campground is right by the ocean. Unfortunately it's also right by Highway 101, so the traffic noise and train noise was loud all night (even with ear plugs). The sites have fire pits, picnic tables, grass and trees. Most of them looked level and were large widthwise, but not always lengthwise. A newer bathhouse was cleaner and nicer than an older one, but overall neither was as clean as the one we used at San Simeon (and that was a Saturday night as opposed to a Wednesday, go figure). There were a lot of tent campers. The park only allows generators between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., which makes preparing breakfast difficult.

This is mostly a park for long-term visitors, and part of it is dedicated to mobile homes. It's attractive with lots of trees and a swimming hole, tucked into the foothills. Our site didn't have a picnic table but others did. The bathhouse was older, with low shower heads and water that was hard to adjust, only two showers and two sinks for the whole place. There was no electrical outlet in the bathhouse but there were several tree frogs. They weren't terrible but I've used better. The park is very quiet and a few miles outside of town. We were able to get wi-fi at our site.

Great park, beautiful views of the ocean, treed sites, nice boardwalks and trails, cool whale skeleton. We stayed midweek in late May and the campground was full of school groups but our site was far enough away that it wasn't too noisy. The bathrooms aren't big enough for the number of people it gets, so they were dirty most of the time, but at least the water was hot. The bathhouses in the beach parks along CA-1 in Southern California were much bigger and nicer.

Nicely treed campground with a lot of long-term residents. Flat pull-through sites. The pool wasn't heated so it was too cold to swim in. Nice bathrooms. Great rec room with an extensive trading library and some reference camping books. Wi-Fi was slow at times. There was a lot of road noise from I-10, and we were about a third of the way back from the road.

A flat and dusty Texas RV park, pretty nice. I liked the jogging trail. The Wi-Fi was slow. The only over-the-air station we could get was in Spanish. Although it's near the interstate, it's far enough away from any population centers that it was relatively quiet. The pool wasn't heated so we didn't swim. There are 2 sets of bathrooms--one at the office building, which had older bathrooms with tubs in them, and one with individual shower rooms, newer, at the opposite side of the park. Grass, trees and picnic tables at each site, but they're flat and easy to get in.

A quiet park on the southeast side of Van Horn. Sites are flat with grass and a shade tree; ours also had an ocotillo in bloom. The wi-fi was slow, but the cable worked fine. The bathrooms are older but clean. The showers were strong. Chickens roam around and there's an emu next door. The cafe appeared to be popular with other campers.

This is the park previously known as "Nueces County Park". The oceanfront sites are primitive sites without hookups, which cost $10 a night. We stayed in the hookups part, with dunes between ourselves and the ocean. They put in a nice, big, new bath house and office in 2007. The showers were plentiful and clean. There are also older, grungier bath houses with pay showers at the beach. There is a $5 deposit for the shower room key card. My main complaint was the sites were dirty and there was litter flying around. Some of the sites aren't level but most of them are, and there are many long enough for big rigs.

A nice enough park, with some sites close to the river (but far from the bathrooms) and others out in the open, flat, long gravel. There is a new bath house with a kitchen visitors can use, laundry, two shower-toilet rooms and one with just a toilet. The showers were clean but smelled of mildew. There's also an older, rustic bath house with two shower-toilet rooms. The pool area is nice but the pool is not heated. The road noise from I-10 is pretty loud. Our site had a lot of cigarette butts on it. The wi-fi was sometimes slow.

Nice park that abuts I-35, so there's a lot of traffic noise. There are 2 private bathroom/showers, which were big and clean, but 2 doesn't seem like enough--especially when you trudge a long way from your RV to find them both occupied. The pool and hot tub look great, but we turned the spa heater on at 5 and 2 hours later it still wasn't hot. So if you want to use it, maybe you should call first and ask them to turn it on a few hours before you arrive. Flat sites with grass in between, no trees.

This is just outside Llano at Robinson Park, which has a public pool, rodeo grounds, picnic area and the river. You can golf cheaply here, looks like a nice course. The bathrooms are in a rec hall-type of place, but there's only 1 shower and one toilet/sink. There was a line in the morning. The Wi-Fi worked well. The Llano Police Department is right next door.

This campground is quite lovely. There's a no generator area, but the generator-allowed area wasn't all that noisy. The rest rooms have 2 toilets and two cold-water sinks, and there's another sink for dish washing. There's a potable water hose for tank fill ups and a dump station. A store with camping supplies and food is a short walk or drive away. There are picnic tables and grills at each site and it's well-shaded. Some of the area can be swampy when they irrigate the grass. Watch for vermilion flycatchers!

This is the place to come if you want to get away from it all. Cottonwood is in the southwestern corner of Big Bend. There are no hookups and no generators are allowed. The toilets are pit-style. There is drinking water. It's well shaded with tall cottonwoods and has picnic tables. It's very, very quiet. We saw a pack of javelinas grazing near an unoccupied campsite. There's a store with camping supplies and food a half-mile away. It's a great place to see the stars.

If you're headed into St. Louis or to the casino, this is the place to stay. They offer a free shuttle to the casino (but it's close enough to walk) and to the Metrolink train station (also walkable). No one under 21 is allowed near the casino or the hotel, which is a shame since there's an indoor pool and exercise room that campers can use. There's a lot of truck and train noise, and it sits right below the interstate. The sites are paved with grass in between. No picnic tables at the sites but there are plenty under little gazebos near the playground. The camp store is fully stocked and the staff was very friendly. The cable and Wi-Fi were excellent. You need a key card to open the bathrooms (2 showers and 2 stalls in each bath house).

This very large campground has some spots out in the open and some in trees. Ours was located near the bathhouses, which were clean and attractive. The water pressure in the showers wasn't great. We were there soon after they opened for the season and the laundry was closed. It's close to the interstate, so there's a lot of road noise. One reason we stayed out here is so we could drive to the park and ride to take light rail into Baltimore. When we arrived, however, signs indicated that no vehicles over 20 feet could park there. It was a Saturday and the lot was empty, but we were afraid to chance it and drove into the city instead. Outdoor parking cost $24 near the Inner Harbor.

This campground is only a short walk from historic Independence, less than a mile from Truman's home and about 2 miles from the library/museum. The Community of Christ's big temple is right nearby, although the park is affiliated with another church. The bath houses were older but very clean. There's a laundry. We heard trains well into the night. The sites are open with grass in between.

Kind of expensive but a nice place. The sites are flat and have shade, picnic tables and grills. The rest rooms were clean. The Wi-Fi worked very well. There wasn't cable but regular channels came in clearly. The people in the office were super-nice. There was some train and traffic noise but not too much.

A large parking lot-type of campground with amenities like a pool and playground that would be nice in warm weather. The main bathhouse was closed so we had access to the two handicapped ones (you have to pay a $15 deposit for the rest room key). One was kind of sandy and dirty, the other was clean, neither was warm. Wi-fi was poor even near the office. Friendly host.

Great place, especially for the price. Our site was about 20 yards from the dunes. The staff opened a bathhouse for us, but it wasn't heated, so we didn't use the showers--it was in the 30s and 40s. The sinks were nice, but the toilet stalls are kind of small--my legs were pressed up against the door. Wi-fi and cable were included and worked well. Pool looked nice.

An excellent park, with some sites by a fast-rushing stream and others around an old barn with a silo. The bathrooms are a 10, with individual rooms each containing a fiberglass shower, a sink vanity and toilet, as well as an overhead vent/fan and another, separate fan and individual heat controls. Super. The rec hall has a book exchange, a stove, a TV, tables and comfy furniture. The wi-fi was fast. There is a little road noise from I-40 and the US highway, as well as some from the wood processing plant across the highway, but it wasn't very loud. It's convenient to the Smokies.

We came here after checking in at Anvil Campground (which was about $1 less), then checking out when we discovered the bathrooms weren't heated (there was snow on the ground). Glad we did. The bathhouses here are beautiful and very clean, showers have good water pressure. Sites are spaced out, and most of the trees aren't in the way of the big rigs. There's a train but we didn't hear it very often. The wi-fi is OK, not great. Friendly host. It's about 10 miles from Colonial Williamsburg.

A nice campground in a quiet area, with sites surrounding a large pond. Cable TV was included in our price (Good Sam). It poured rain, and the ground got really saturated, which made it hard to maneuver around the RV. The bathrooms were spotless. There's 1 sink, 1 stall, and 2 showers in each bath house, which might be a problem when it's crowded. Plus, the bath houses are a long way from many of the sites. All 3 of us showered in the morning, and the hot water turned freezing at the beginning of the third shower. Other than that, it was fine.

Very nice parking lot-type place, with gravel paving and grassy areas dividing the sites. The bathhouses were very clean. The light and fan come on automatically, so sometimes they shut off while you're in the shower. The free cable and wi-fi were excellent. The hosts are friendly. The game room/fitness room has ping-pong, pool, foosball, and high-quality stair machines and weight benches. It's pretty close to I-65 and train tracks, so it can be noisy from traffic. Lots of places to eat right nearby.

We came here after discovering Mr. Lincoln's Campground was closed and calling. The staffer said technically they weren't open but she could hook us up. There were about a dozen RVs there when we arrived. It's a quiet place with lots of grass, out in the country. The bathrooms were clean. The Wi-Fi wasn't working but it was probably just temporary.

The park has a lot of long-term residents, and judging from the angry signs posted in the rest rooms, some of them are not all that nice. The wi-fi wasn't working the night we stayed. Each of the two bath houses consists of one toilet, one sink, and two shower heads with no curtain separating them and no curtain separating the changing area from the bathroom door. It was a very strange arrangement. One toilet and one sink is not enough for an entire park; when I went in at 9 p.m., the toilet was clogged, and it was still that way in the morning. (I would have gone to the office but it was cold and windy.) There was a lot of road noise at night. The price did include cable.

Very nice campground, with a view of the hills and the Little River along one side. The laundry/rest rooms have couches to sit on; some guys were online there, so the wi-fi might not be as good at some sites as it was at ours. There are about a dozen individual bathroom/shower rooms, heated and with fans, many of which are handicapped accessible, very clean. Free cable as well as wi-fi. It's no longer a Good Sam park but they still honor the Good Sam card and give you a discount. Very close to Great Smoky Mountains National Park (which was way too crowded for our tastes but pretty).

We stayed here 1 night because we were having service done on our RV. It's in a quiet area far from the interstate. The sites are flat, large concrete pads with grass in between. The free wi-fi is available in and around the customer service area. The bathhouses were spotless, with large, strong showers. There wasn't much TV available off the air. The customer service area has a large-screen TV, comfortable leather furniture and rocking chairs, and a cafe. The price was with the Good Sam discount. There's a rally park across the street.

This a really pretty park with lots of pines, live oaks and palmettos. Our site had a view of the fishing lake and wooden pier, and you can also fish in the river or bring a boat. Canoes are available to rent. There's a small swimming beach, flat hiking and biking trails, pavilions for cooking out, pelicans and squirrels. Sites are flat and fairly wide. The wi-fi signal is fast and you can get dozens of cable channels. There are two bath houses, with two showers and three stalls in each. They are older, made of concrete blocks, but they were cleaned several times a day. There's a playground and lots of places to sit around, like on the big porch by the office. Although alcoholic beverages are prohibited (at least in public), it probably gets rowdy when the weather is warmer.

A parking lot-type of campground in a residential area west of New Orleans. The bathrooms were warm and were kept very clean. Each shower is in its own little individual room, very nice. The store stocks souvenirs, ice, RV supplies and groceries. The owners and employees were all very accommodating. Best of all is the free shuttle, which you can take into the French Quarter at 9 a.m. and back at 5:45 p.m. It's as good as a guided tour. There's also a bus stop across the street, with the bus connecting to the Carrollton streetcar. We had a lot of rain, so there were some big puddles and soggy grassy areas. The Wi-Fi was good. It's close to the airport and there was some road and train noise, so don't plan on sleeping too late. Our rate was with a KOA discount for 3 people, during a Pre-Mardi Gras weekend, so it seemed fair.

A great park located in a quiet area behind the casino. The bathrooms and showers are hotel quality, with really hard water pressure in the showers, and they were cleaned regularly (although some of the shower room doors were kind of grungy). There's an on site RV office, or you can check in at the hotel front desk if you arrive after it closes. You're also allowed to use the casino hotel's lovely indoor pool or hot tub; just ask at the desk for a key. The Wi-Fi is really fast. The sites are all paved with asphalt, and there are covered picnic tables throughout. The sites are a little narrow, and the lighting is really bright at night.

Beautiful park. I loved the trees, walking/biking trails, ponds, swings, picnic areas, pavilions and open space. Still, $40 (Good Sam) is a lot to spend on a campground, especially when it doesn't have cable and the Wi-Fi occasionally cuts out on a whim. It might be justified in warmer weather but not when it's in the 50s. There are extra fees for most activities, including the water park/pool, bike and boat rentals, climbing wall. The restrooms are nice, with four showers and four stalls in each of 2 bathhouses. The showers' water pressure varies. The laundry rooms are outside. There is a lot of traffic noise (including trucks backing up and beeping) starting early in the morning. The playground is undergoing renovations for the next few months. The water activities don't open until May. The shuttle into town or to the beach is $7 round trip and is very convenient. We used it one day and drove in and parked in the RV garage parking on Ann Street (next to the Visitors Center) for $10/day another.

Pretty nice park. Some of the loops and bathhouses are closed for the season. It's a short walk to the beach. The sites are close together and kind of small, so you don't feel like you have a lot of privacy. Laundry is $1.25 per load, $1.25 for more than 30 minutes in the dryer. The main bathhouse near the store was the nicest. It was clean but not that warm, and the lights went out when I was showering. Store was closed. Wi-fi worked OK.

It was really cold when we stayed here, so we didn't get to experience the park much, and there was only 1 other trailer in the park. We were up on Loop 2, which is up on a hill and very attractive, with lots of tall trees. Our pad was a bit bumpy. Each site had a fire pit or fireplace and picnic table. The bathrooms were clean and warm and the sinks and showers had hot water. We got a few TV channels using our antenna.

This is a well-maintained park with long concrete slabs, picnic tables and small patches of grass for each site. The hot tub was very nice, with strong jets. The pool wasn't open (no surprise) but looked attractive. Instead of having separate men's and women's rooms, there are four individual bathroom/shower rooms, two of which are handicapped accessible. All four are huge. You can sit in rocking chairs on the porch at the office/facilities building and watch golfers tee off on the course below. The owners were very friendly. The Wi-Fi and cable worked very well. It was easy to find off of I-20. The only reason I took a point off was that there is a lot of road noise from State Route 135.

This park is in the pines on the shores of a lake. There is a small beach and a boat ramp. The bathrooms were old and a little buggy, but there was hot water. The sites are paved with asphalt. Ours was a bit narrow but there were a lot of rigs much bigger than ours around, so they may vary in width. It does look like a popular party place, and we had to clean up our site (beer cans, cigarette butts, various detritus) before I felt comfortable sitting outside. It poured early the next morning and the amount of standing water indicated that it's really in a low-lying area, i.e., the dump station area was full of water.

A bit larger and more open than Long Pine Key, but Flamingo has the advantage of being close to the marina. A lot of people who stay here bring their boats.

The location is great but the price is a bit high. We camped across Highway A1A. in the Campers Village, for $40 + tax, which includes full hookups, cable and Wi-Fi. The cable worked well, the water pressure was low, the Wi-Fi worked most of the time. The main drawbacks are the washrooms are across the highway and there aren't very many showers. The woman's room was starting to look dirty when we got there in the afternoon and by evening were pretty gross.

We stayed here for 6 nights in January, in a preferred site, for $62 per night plus tax. The pad was small, with sand in the back, but it was level. We were in the 1400 loop, backing onto an algae-covered "canal," where people paddled canoes. The sites are all shaded and the campground was very quiet. They include cable and full hookups. The larger premium sites feature longer pads. My main complaint was that the sinks in the bath houses are automatic shut-off and don't have hot water! I checked out other bath houses and none of them appeared to have hot water in the sinks. A few times I washed up in the laundry room, where the sink had hot water. The bathrooms are otherwise very nice, the showers are hot, although the changing areas are small. The wi-fi is about $10 a day and is very erratic depending on where your site is; we saw a lot of people using their laptops at the trading post areas. We liked the bus system and taking the boat to the Magic Kingdom. We also had bikes to ride to some of the outer areas of the campground, since things are very spread out. The main pool is 82 degrees and large. We loved having birds around, the cleanliness, the campfire and nightly movies.

I would give it a perfect 10 were it not for the fact that it is very close to US 1, so the road noise can be really loud. All the sites are oceanfront. The restrooms have showers and hot water.

This a beautiful state park. The sites are shaded by tall pines. The bathrooms are older but very clean. There was a boil order on, so we chose not to hook up to the park's water, but other people did. Also, they were doing a prescribed burn, so some areas of the park were smoky. And the pool, which looked very nice, was closed. Recreational activities include hiking, nature trails (saw armadillos, deer, water birds), biking (close to a bike trail), and canoeing.

This is one of the shadier campgrounds in the Keys. Many of the other campers were really friendly, and it's a dog-friendly place. There is no beach but you can drive or bike 3 miles to Curry Hammock State Park to get to one. You can boat or fish or swim (if you have aqua shoes) right at the campground. There was a big sign in the bathrooms that said they were for "campers and tenters without their own facilities," which we ignored. The bathrooms were old, with shower curtains on the toilet stalls as well as the showers. The showers in the woman's room had pull chains to run the water--when you let go, the water stopped. Not a problem if it's warm out. The faucets had sort of lukewarm water and were push button. The Wi-Fi works near the office. Our daughter, 12, was $5 extra per night.

Very nice place, small. The price was the Good Sam rate and included cable and a great Wi-Fi signal. The host was very gracious. When we called in our reservation earlier in the day, he said we could call to cancel with no charge and gave us specific directions. There's only 1 bathroom and it's in the office building, but it's large and clean and has a bathtub and shower. It was like showering in someone's house! There is some road noise even though I-10 is a mile or so away.

I love this place and wish we could have stayed longer. The rate reflects a charge of $2 extra for our daughter, and it's the high season. Our site was next to a creek, and a blue heron paid us a visit one day. There are a lot of trees and plenty of grass. The birds and lemurs around the duck pond are quite remarkable. A great beach is a 5 minute bike ride away, and Sanibel has bike trails all over the place. The other campers, many of whom are seasonal or in manufactured housing, are very nice. There's free wi-fi that's really fast. The bathrooms are kind of old and the doors are out of kilter, but the showers are pretty hot. There's no separate changing part in the shower stalls, but the stalls are large enough that you can hang your stuff on the door and it won't get wet.

Although this campground is in a great location and has very attractive sites, it could use some maintenance. Our site had broken glass and a glass bottle in it when we arrived, and the wooden picnic table had a big chunk out of it. The bath houses need a new floor. The vanity area and toilets were nice enough but the showers have no private changing areas, the water pressure is terrible, and there's no place to put your stuff. Great place for canoeing and fishing, though.

The $38 was a Good Sam rate. This park is right on the Chokoloskee Bay with a view of some of the Ten Thousand Islands and the Everglades. It's aimed primarily toward people with boats and anglers. Only 20 of the sites are available for short-timers, and there are a lot of permanent homes. The sites are limited to RVs of 28 feet or less and the spaces are very tight, but there's enough room for a picnic table and there are public outdoor seating areas with nice patio furniture along the docks. The cable is free, the wi-fi is $5/day, $10 week and was erratic. The bathrooms are new and clean and look like they should be in somebody's house. There's even a hair dryer in the women's room. The washers are $1.50, dryers $1.50 for 48 minutes. We stayed on a Monday night (MLK Day), and the dumpsters were overflowing with trash, but they weren't near our site. Nice staff.

There is one ancient bath house, near the pool, with four showers and a few stalls. The bathrooms were filthy, and the shower curtains were covered with mold. The bathrooms closest to our site were porta potties. A bathroom upgrade would really improve things.

A great place to stay if you're going into Quebec City. They offer a free shuttle twice a day that takes you into the St. Roch area. (They may only be offering it for free this year because of the 400th anniversary.) If the shuttle times don't work, you can drive about 6 miles to the Parc Aquarium lot and spend $2 per adult $1 per child for round trip tickets on that shuttle. The bathrooms and showers were clean, and the showers were strong. They leave sponges and sponge mops by the showers and sinks so you can clean up after yourself or the previous user, which I personally think is a great idea. The office and store are open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and the employees were very helpful and spoke English very well. The pool is open until 9, and the pool area is very nice. There's also a lovely small hot tub. The wi-fi signal was really strong, but we were right by the office. The only reasons I wouldn't give it a 10 are the road noise--many loud trucks; bring earplugs--and because our firepit was filled with the previous tenant's garbage. We bought a KOA membership, so paid a little less than $46. That price includes the taxes.

This RV park is like a slice of the American Midwest. Our site was shaded with trees, grassy, and had a picnic table and fire grill. We paid $22 including the tax for electricity and water, and another $2 for our daughter to use the pool. The atmosphere is homey. It's farther from the highway than other nearby RV parks but there is still some road noise. The pool is about the size of a pool in someone's backyard and has a lot of deck chairs around it. An old school building has been turned into a recreation room, with a shuffleboard table, pool table, book exchange, board games and couches. We were told that the Wi-Fi might not work at our site and to use it in the rec room, but we were able to access it fine from our site. The bathroom is somewhat old, but the showers are hot and fairly roomy. They're cleaned in the late morning, and then tidied up after people shower at night. One strange thing is, you access the pool through the washrooms, so one or both doors is frequently open, which doesn't lend itself to privacy. Also, the hot and cold water sink taps are switched, so the cold is on the left. The staff is friendly and polite.

We were here for a night in the middle of the July 4 weekend. It's a cool place, but when you own a place with a beach, you need to clean the bathrooms more often. I checked out all of the bath houses in the afternoon and none of them were clean, and they weren't clean at night. There was also a fair amount of garbage piled up everywhere. This campground has a lot of seasonal and full-time campers, and a lot of manufactured homes. The beach is tiny, and the roped-off part of the lake is too shallow to do anything but wade. It's a great place for boaters. Our spot was fronting a lagoon and in a grassy area. The office building features a restaurant, game room and store, and there's free Wi-Fi in the building. You can pay for Wi-Fi at your site. My 11-year-old cost $5 extra. Great recreational opportunities.

This is a motel with a campground behind it. The sites are shaded and grassy but basic. The rest rooms are the ones for the indoor pool. They're very nice--two handicapped-accessible washrooms with showers--and they were immaculate. The indoor pool wasn't open the night we were there (there might be an extra charge for it). It's along a highway, so there was some road noise. The campground itself was very quiet, however. There's a supermarket and gas station right across the street, and a fairgrounds behind it.

Perched high on a hill east of Cassville, this park has large sites and lots to do. There's a jumping pillow for kids, a swimming pool with fountains, a snack bar-type restaurant, a bar, hiking trails, a playground, and live music on the weekends. The bathrooms were large and very clean. The laundry was a bargain. It's very kid-friendly. The walls are lined with an impressive collection of animal mounts. The Wi-Fi doesn't work very well; it's only available inside the main building and was shutting down frequently. There was a fair amount of garbage on the ground, remaining from the July 4 holiday weekend (this was Monday night).

Beautiful campground in a pine forest. Lots of shade, river and hiking activities nearby. Friendly host. The mosquitoes were unbelievable, perhaps the worst I've ever seen, so if you have a screen house, bring it. There's a dump station and potable water.

Shady campground with a recreation pavilion and a large pond with a floating island on it for swimming, also an older-type playground. The wi-fi is free; they'll give you a code at check-in. The bathrooms are very old. It's hard to adjust the water temperature in the shower, and there are no outlets inside. Quiet place.

This campground offers electric-only hookups. Our site was across from the dump station, which also had water spigots to fill up your RV. Each site was twinned with another site, but we thought there was plenty of room. Not much shade. The bathhouse had five showers and many stalls. The sinks were the kind where the water doesn't stay on, so bring a stopper. It was quiet.

This campground is in a provincial park less than ten miles from Fort St. John. It's a very nice park with short hiking trails through forestland and fishing and boating opportunities on the lake. There are no hookups. The outhouse-style toilets are well-ventilated and clean, and good-tastin drinking water is available outside them. Some of the sites are large enough for two RVs. We didn't make a reservation, so when we arrived, we found a site that wasn't reserved and parked. A camp host came by and took our money (cash only). All the sites are wooded and have picnic tables and fire pits. There was some road noise at night and we had a very loud group nearby that was up until at least 3 a.m. screaming and laughing, but other than that it was quite nice.

We had a site with no hookups here. The site was very narrow; we had to maneuver the RV between two trees with about 18 inches of space to spare. We were right near a washroom, which had sinks with hot water and two stalls. For some reason, the men's side had two electrical outlets, the women's none, so I had to sneak into the men's room to plug in my coffee pot. The bathroom had paper towels and soap. The site was quiet. It cost $8.80 to use a firepit (which includes the wood), so we didn't use one. There were various measures in effect to keep the area bearproof. The showers were a 5-10 minute walk from our site. These were the only showers in the entire campground, so they were often busy. They shut off automatically and the floor is very cold stone, so wear shower shoes. I took a shower in the evening and there was no hot water. We attended two ranger programs; both were better for kids than adults.

Excellent park. The registration area is like at a hotel, and the "desk clerk" was very informative and pleasant. All the facilities--laundry, showers, washrooms, arcade/library, store, fitness room, restaurant--are in one big, round building, and it's as nice as a hotel. There are plenty of showers and bathroom stalls. We had a shaded site with grass next to a couple of long-term residents who decorate their spots. It was nice and quiet, although there is a little road noise. The Wi-Fi started out slow, but there were several networks to connect to (Glowing Embers North and South), so we switched to the one with more bars, and it was very fast. The TV offers a few stations. It's convenient to the mall, which has RV parking, and less than a half-hour's drive (14 or so miles) into downtown Edmonton.

This RV park is near the Teslin National Wildlife Refuge and the Canada-United States border. It sits out in the open, near a gas station/cafe/store. Wi-Fi is only available at or near the building. We paid $18 because we were paying cash; you also get a discount if you pay with cash for gas. The restrooms and showers are in the back of the main building. There are two showers, and two stalls in each bathroom. The bathrooms aren't really designed for campers--there are no hooks or counters to put things on. The faucets are reversed--hot is on the right side.

This is an OK park with nice trees and grass. We paid $24 Cdn. for electric and water, plus $2 for the Wi-Fi, which worked well. There is a lot of road noise. The bathrooms are old but clean, and the water was hot. We were told we could get 3 channels on the TV, but we didn't try it. The pool area looks nice.

This park has nice grass, trees and flowers. The owner is very friendly. Wi-Fi was $5 Cdn.; we didn't buy it. The cable only gets 5 channels, but it's free. The bathrooms were nicely maintained; the handicapped shower was about 36 inches square, but the others are smaller. There was some road noise, since it's right off the highway. We liked the atmosphere.

Beautiful location fronting Kluane Lake, but there are some problems with this park. The water hookup is not at the individual sites but at a building near the office. There are only 3 stalls and 3 showers in the women's bathroom, and 2 sinks, so it was frequently crowded and hard to keep clean. There aren't any counters to put your stuff on in the bathrooms. The wi-fi is only available on the deck near the office and in the laundry room, which was also crowded. We had a big problems with flies and bugs, so much so that we spent little time outside. You have to take your garbage with you, ostensibly because there are bears in the area. The electrical hookups are only 15 amp. So, while it is a lovely park, $30 seems steep.

River's Edge is a very nice, large RV park. It's on the west side of Fairbanks, close to the highway, but far enough from it that road noise isn't a problem. The prices of the RV sites start at $29.95 and increase as you add hookups. We paid $26.95 with a Good Sam discount for water and electricity but not sewer or cable. Some of the spots are right next to the Chena River; these cost $3 extra. The bathrooms were clean and warm. The campground is next to the River's Edge Resort, which has restaurants. The campground offers a variety of tours and shuttles (for a fee) to many local attractions. It also has a nice gift shop. Our only complaint was that the Wi-Fi was very slow and the signal failed repeatedly, possibly due to the number of users.

We had a site with full hookups. Some of the campsites accommodate two RVs, but ours only fit one (so we had more space). It was a pull-through. The bathroom was a short walk away. It had four stalls and one shower, no soap, paper towels or hand dryer. We were able to get a few channels on the TV. It was a very quiet campground with a lot of ground squirrels. We were at a far end, so having bicycles was handy. There is a bus stop right outside the campground entrance.

A very nice campground with both grassy and wooded sites. The wi-fi was really slow, but since the ad didn't say they had wi-fi we can't complain. The bathrooms are really nice, with large, glass-doored showers and plenty of stalls. The lights are on a timer (15 minutes maximum), so if you come in and the previous person has turned the light on, you might want to hit it again before it goes off--especially if you're planning to take a shower. There's a deck with comfortable patio furniture, a petting zoo, and easy access to a river for boating. The office has a selection of groceries and gifts. Sites have picnic tables and fire pits. The only negatives were road noise and the foul-mouthed work crew members who were staying there and talking loudly outside our RV at 10:30 p.m.

This campground is right on the cove, next to the small boat dock, in downtown Haines. The view of the mountains and water can't be beat, and everything in town is within walking distance. It's basically a parking lot. There are a couple of picnic tables fronting the water. We paid $30 a night with the Good Sam discount. Showers were $3 extra, so we didn't use them. Wi-Fi was $2.95 an hour or $6.95 a day, so we didn't use that, either. There are two bathrooms in the building where the office is located, one of which is handicapped accessible.

Spruce Meadow is a few miles from the ferry terminal in the town of Auke Bay, west of Juneau. It's very wooded, so mosquitoes were ever-present. Because Juneau has had some electricity problems due to an avalanche in April, at the time we stayed campers who used an electrical hookup were charged a kilowatt-per-hour fee. Also, the washers and dryers were very expensive--$3.75 per wash, $3 for 40 minutes of dryer use. The showers were clean and large. There are a lot of nice touches throughout the office and the grounds.

Very nice RV park about 8km west of Smithers. Awesome view of the glacier. Clean, warm washrooms with "calming nature music," laundry with book swap. Grass and trees. Dish washing room, handicapped shower. Cabins also available. Horseshoes. Wi-Fi is free but slow. Some road noise. Fire pits and picnic tables. Quiet except for the road. Nice host. Great vibe.

A half mile from the Alaska and BC ferry terminals. Very quiet. Nice playground equipment and shelters. Grass and trees. The bathrooms weren't all that clean. The women's room had no paper towels in the dispensers, and one of the hand blowers in the men's room wasn't working. There was ample hot water. There is supposed to be a hiking trail but the bridge to access it was closed. It was $3.50 extra for our 11-year-old, who didn't take a shower (the ostensible reason for the charge).

This campground in the Tongass National Forest is for dry camping. There are a couple of water faucets, including an artesian well (which says "Sanitation Required.") The toilets are the pit kind. There are hiking trails. You can reserve some of the sites in advance. If you drive in without a reservation, you just find one you like and stop by the campground host to pay.

There are two campgrounds close to Liard Hot Springs. One is a primitive campground that's part of the Liard Hot Springs Provincial Park. We stayed at the other one, which is connected to the Liard Hot Springs Lodge. It's only a short walk over to the park from it. It's very basic. We got a 30 amp hookup and water for $31. The sites are out in the open on grass. Some have picnic tables and fire rings; ours didn't. The washrooms are in a trailer. There are three stalls and two showers in each, but one of the women's stalls was out of order. A sign on the door said "Pay Showers $6" (although the website says they're free). We decided to go ask for our money back and to look elsewhere, but when my husband went in to do so and explained why, he was told, "If somebody asks, just tell them you paid." No one asked. The shower is a nozzle attached to a pipe, pretty basic. The water was hot, though.

This RV park is in the middle of the country, about 10 miles west of Caldwell. It's far enough from the interstate that road noise isn't too much of a problem. There are farms all around and cows nearby. Lots of grass, not much shade. The wi-fi was being repaired, which was disappointing. The bathrooms and showers were clean and had hot water. The owner is very friendly. He delivers a paper to your doorstep in the morning. There's a small cafe down the road, which he recommended for breakfast, but we didn't try it.

We stayed here for three nights. It is very quiet, mostly inhabited by long-term RVers. Beautiful landscaping, lots of trees, a koi pond, chainsaw bear sculptures. The bathrooms are in a well-heated manufactured home-type of building. The women's room has two showers. The non-ADA compliant one is kind of small, as is the dressing area, but you can adjust the height of the shower head. The ADA-compliant one is larger and has a handheld shower nozzle, but you can't adjust the height of the shower head. The drinking water is tasty. The campground doesn't have Wi-Fi. The pay phone in the rec room has a modem. There are also games and a TV in the rec room, and a grill and tables outside. The park is only a mile from the Park and Ride stop; you could walk if the weather is nice.

After staying at the superior Wallowa Lake State Park in Oregon the previous night, we were somewhat disappointed by Yakima Sportsmen. It's nice, but it costs more and you get less. The park offers volleyball courts and horseshoes and lots of greenspace for games. It's very popular with large parties. Cottonwoods line the roads. There are hiking trails, fishing in a pond (for kids) and in the Yakima River, which you can hear from the campsites. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, and wood is for sale for $5 a box (you haul). The bathrooms were as clean as can be expected in a state park but have no hot water in the sinks. You have to buy tokens to use the showers, which cost 50 cents for every three minutes. On the first night, quiet hours were not enforced, and we heard people yelling well into the night. The second night was very quiet, however. The sites are cheaper if you don't use the online reservation service (which has a fee) and if you are a state resident.

This is a suburban-type RV park, very nice, not far from I-15. It has grass and trees and a small playground. You get a free newspaper when you check in. The restrooms are very clean. In the women's room, the stalls have nicely painted wooden doors that extend down to the floor. The single shower is in its own little room with its own sink. The lights for both the shower area and the restroom area are on a timer. The wi-fi was strong. The only problem we had was the road noise was very loud.

A bit pricey, but not a bad place. The restrooms were large and very clean, except for the overflowing garbage bin. (It was like they cleaned the bathroom but forgot to empty it.) The showers were spotless; the handicapped shower could have fit several people. It's a parking lot-type setting with the sites next to one another. It's on a busy road, although I heard no road noise. Good for a night, or a few if you're visiting the area.

We wanted to stay in Arches but it was full, so we were able to get in here right away. This is the campground just south of the Arches entrance. Nice shaded sites with the Colorado River along one side and beautiful cliffs all around. Clean bathrooms with hot water. I really appreciated the sinks located outside the washrooms for washing dishes, which also had hot water. When I walked outside at 10 p.m. to visit the washroom, it was pitch dark--so dark I needed a lantern--and very quiet. The only thing I didn't like was that they charge $5 extra for every child 8 and up. Next to Canyonlands At Night boat trip attraction.

Wallowa Lake State Park is a lovely place, with towering pines, snow-capped mountains and the beautiful, emerald-green lake. It's an outstanding state park, and the camping was fine. The bathrooms have hot water and plenty of showers and stalls. They were cleaner than at many state parks we have visited. There's a large amphitheater for campfire programs, a good-sized playground, and green space for games. Wood is for sale for $4 a boxload, which you can haul away on a cart. You can rent paddle or motorboats or swim in the lake. Right next door in the town of Wallowa Lake are restaurants, bumper boats and miniature golf.

The office was closed when we arrived, but we had a campsite, so we just pulled in. We didn't have the key code to the bathrooms, but a fellow camper knew it and gave it to us. Paved sites. There's a convenience store/gas station a short walk away. The utilities worked fine. The indoor pool was closed for renovations. Overall a decent place, not particularly scenic.

Some nice, shaded sites, many with great views. Popular with tent campers and people who like to cook out and sit around the fire. Women's room had only 1 sink (another had been removed from the wall), and a mesh door, which made visits, and especially showering, very cold. One of the toilets leaked, so the floor was always wet. Not the friendliest staff, but they seemed to be overworked. Great beer selection in the motel store. Gas station store didn't sell milk, and the station was out of gasoline.
