This is one of the nicest state parks we have visited. The location on the Colorado River is scenic and provides good recreational opportunities. The sites are large and level. Numerous mature trees provide good shade from the summer sun. The entire park including the showers and restrooms are clean and well maintained. Staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. I do not fault them for the reservation system. The rules are made by the park service administration, not the local rangers. Penalties for canceling or changing reservations are usually imposed for good reasons, among them being to discourage reservation hording and opportunism. It is unfortunate when they bite people with good intentions but it sometime happens. Most of the sites in this park are available on a first-come basis so you do not have to use the reservation system.

This park is the only thing available near the Monument other than extremely primitive camping in the tribal RV park so take it or leave it. It is in a pretty location at the top of a red rock draw with views of the valley. The access road is narrow and steep in places but is in good condition. Interior roads are paved. The sites are terraced into the hillside and some have views. Sites adjacent to the office/store building are subject to equipment noise and bright lights. The sites are large but the one we had was badly bent, requiring a combination of blocks and hydraulics to get level. They are not paved and the red dirt seems to cling to everything so leave your shoes at the door. Wi-Fi is available but was practically useless even though we were parked near one of the antennas. Our Verizon Air Card worked but was very slow. I would have rated this place higher if it was not over priced. As an aside there is a 15 miles public loop road through the Monument. It is drivable in a standard passenger vehicle but is extremely rough. Group and private guided tours that include roads not open to the public are available.

This campground is on the Colorado River between the bridge and the dam and across the river from the big casinos. It has "beach" sites that are directly on the river bank with great views but no hookups and regular RV sites with hookups. The sites are fairly large and each has a metal shelter alongside. Some are deep enough for 40' and longer RVs. They are subject to noise from power boats on the river and from adjacent party sites. Most of the hookup sites are some distance back from the river and have no river views but are large and level. Many are occupied by long term residents but seemed to be clean and well maintained. We saw a few unleashed dogs in both areas. Our overall impression was that the place is nothing fancy but a good value.

This facility, operated by the National Park Service, is located in northeast Arizona at the end of State Highway 564 off of US Highway 160 at an elevation of 7,200 feet. There is no entry fee or camping fee. There are two campgrounds. Sunset View is the one best suited for RVs and is open year around. The interior road is paved, The pads are paved and reasonable level. Sites are widely spaced and surrounded by trees. There are no hookups but water is available. The web site and a sign on the highway indicate that the maximum RV length is 28 feet but there are a few sites that can accommodate larger units including our 35-foot motorhome. The Visitor Center offers exhibits, Native American art and craft demonstrations, movies and Ranger talks. A short self-guided trail leads to an overlook that provides a good view of the Betataken ruin on the opposite wall of a canyon. A Ranger-guided hike into the canyon and the ruin is available. It is a beautiful place and the staff was friendly and helpful. The only reason I am not giving it a higher rating is that there are no hookups. We will go there again.

We liked this park. It is next to the highway but our site in the back was very quiet. We had a lot of grassy space between us and our neighbors and even a little bit of shade. The site had a paved patio with a concrete table and benches, but no fire ring. There is a good supermarket and a Flying J with a restaurant nearby, and a more shopping including a Super Walmart in Harrisonville, about 9 miles. The owners were very nice.

As others have noted this is an older park in a semi-rural setting on the edge of town. The location is away from the Interstate and quiet. Interior roads and driveways are covered with crushed rock. Sites are separated by struggling grass. After staying there I understand the uneven reviews. There are some very spacious sites in what appears to be the older section, but also some that are way too narrow. The newer section at the rear has a large group of more conventionally arranged sites that have adequate space between them for awning and tables. The impression one gets therefore varies with the site you get. If you want space try to get a site in the "G" row. One reviewer alluded to some electrical problems but I saw none. The pedestals looked fairly new and in good condition and the 50 amp service at our site worked perfectly. There is a BBQ cookery on the property that offers a standard selection of meats and fixings in the evening. It looked good but we did not try it. We enjoyed our stay.

I don't understand why anyone would pay double the price to stay in town instead of this park. The sites are spacious and beautiful, and many have lake views. It farther from the strip but well worth the 15 minute drive. The nicest RV sites are electric only (30 amps) but water is available to fill your tank at spigots throughout the campground and at the dump station. The restrooms and showers are nice and there is even a laundry. The park has a mix of reservation and first come sites.

The RV parking area has 21 spaces along the back edge of a large parking lot used by long-haul truckers. The spaces offer back-in parking with water and 30/50 amp electric hookups. They are close but large enough for big rigs and slideouts. It is clean but subject to noise from the trucks and is brightly lighted all night. We were not bothered enough by either to spoil our sleep. To stay you must get a Player's Card and an RV Pass from the casino. There have been some changes in the pricing policy because the spaces are not unconditionally free as reported by others. It is a "play or pay" deal that is a bit confusing to us. We were told that the parking was free if we played at least $25; otherwise we would have to pay $25 for the space. The first $10 of play was to be out of pocket but that was to be credited back to us after we played that much. I started with $20 in credits, played the slots for a short time until I hit a minor jackpot, then quit with over $25 in credit on my card. When I checked out the next morning I paid nothing. It was an OK stop and the price was right. We will do it again if the opportunity arises.

I have reviewed this park before but am doing it again because significant changes have been made. We really like this place. We have always stayed in the A Loop at the top of the hill which has large spaces, some with water and electric and some with electric only. The placement of the utilities at some sites is some distance from where they should be so you might need extra hose or electric cords. The good news is that the COE has added a new RV and tent campground down the hill and closer to the lake. I do not know the number of sites but there are a lot of them and they look very nice. The RV sites have large concrete pads, tables with copper-colored metal shelters, water and electric. The bad news is that the new sites are not open yet. The park attendant did not have a date, but it should be soon.

We stayed for only one night while visiting a friend in the area but enjoyed this park because it is attractive and quiet, and we had a nicely shaded pull-through site. It had 50-amp service which we needed for the A/C because it was hot. As the name implies it is in a former rock quarry: relics of which in the form of large blocks of stone are scattered throughout. This is an older park but seems to be well maintained, although we did not examine or use any of the facilities. There is supposed to be Wi-Fi available but it was unusable from our site, as was our Verizon Air Card. Overall it was a pleasant stay. We will go there again.

Outstanding! If you are looking for a luxury resort this isn't it but it is near perfect otherwise. The grounds are grassy with a lot of trees and the hard-top sites are widely spaced in a random pattern. Some have shade. There is a river running behind the park but the banks are covered by dense vegetation and are not visible from the sites. It is adjacent to Highway 101 but we had no problem with traffic noise at our site at the back. The office staff was courteous and helpful.

We love this park, which true to the name is right on the south bank of the Columbia river. We are in the park as I write this review and are watching a large barge passing by just 100 yards outside the windshield of our motorhome. The park is a couple of miles from Interstate 5 and on a lightly used road so is very quiet. The owners have made a lot of improvements since our last visit a few years ago. The sites are gravel with ample grass areas, but no shade. There is a large grass lawn between the sites and the river that includes community fire rings and a play-set. We will definitely be back.

This is a pleasant place. It is on the bank of the Rogue River and there is good access, but only a few sites that are truly "waterfront". You can't see the namesake bridge either but that is a minor issue. Our biggest complaint was the noise from Interstate 5 which is very close by. Although we prefer the sister Riverpark location a few miles down-stream (it was full), we would stay at Bridgeview again.

I don't think there is another "RV park" like this on the west coast. It is a Ventura County facility. It is not an RV park in the usual sense of the term. Rigs are parallel parked along a stretch of what was the coast highway many years ago. The Pacific Ocean is on one side with only a boulder seawall between the RVs and the sand. On the other side is the old highway, which is still used by local traffic, and a fairly busy railroad track. As others have posted there is some traffic and train noise, somewhat masked by the sound of the surf. It is pretty awesome. Most of the marked spaces are about 45 feet. Access to the beach from most sites entails climbing down over the boulders, which requires some agility. There are no hookups and there is no water available. If you can deal with those things you will have a beach camping experience that is hard to beat. We camp there often and love it. Stay limits are 7 days in the summer (April through October) and 14 days in the winter.

This is a very basic no-frills campground that is OK for an overnight stop or as a base for visiting the nearby bird sanctuary. The average-size side-by-side sites are on gravel with only a few small trees, no grass and no views. Trains on the adjacent rail line are loud but not too frequent. The owner is friendly and the price seems very reasonable.

This is pleasing campground located on a large COE reservoir between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. The RV sites are in "A Loop" on high ground overlooking the lake and the surrounding area but only a few sites have good lake views. Most are back-ins but there are some pull-throughs parallel with the road. Sites on the inside of the loop have water and electric hookups. Sites on the outside have electric only. There is a central dump station and a cinder block restroom/shower building. The restrooms and showers looked clean but were marred by peeling paint. Some of the sites are on a reservation system and others are first come, first served. Nearby recreation includes two pueblos and the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument. We enjoyed our stay and will go there again.

To call this place rustic is probably being too kind but it does have its charms. It is located on a pretty treed hill a little south of the Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs. It is well off any major roads so is very quiet. That is the good part. The interior roads are dirt - uneven and rutted - as are the sites themselves. The utility layouts are haphazard. At our site, billed as a full-hookup pull-through, the sewer connection was in the usual place but nothing else was. The electrical box was way up front on the right and the water was way up front on the left. The electric box was shared with the adjacent site and had only one 30-amp and one 50-amp outlet. That was not a problem because the other site was vacant but if both sites needed the same service it couldn't be done.

This park is in a pretty bucolic setting only a few miles from the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. It is well-maintained and the owners are very nice. We liked it and would rate it higher except for a couple of things. Other reviewers have commented positively about their sites being level but ours was not. Our pull-thru site was on a hillside and had quite a lot of side-to-side slope; so much that our hydraulic levelers were not able to get us as level as we would have liked. Our other negative is the noise from the trains. They are not too frequent but do a lot of horn blowing when the pass through.

This park has gotten some bad reviews in the past, but seems to have improved a lot. There are a large number of permanent or seasonal residents, some who own their sites, but everything is neat and tidy. The sites graveled with some mature trees and the entire property is surrounded by trees. There is a miniature golf course and they are adding a hot tub. Free wifi is available but the signal was weak and performance was spotty. The managers were very helpful in solving a couple of small problem.

Sasquatch Provincial Park is located a little NE of Harrison Hot Springs BC. There are three campgrounds - Lakeside, Hicks Lake and Bench. The first two are on small lakes and have a limited number of lakeside sites. All are heavily wooded. with large and well-separated sites. Most of the sites are on a reservation system but there are some first-come sites in each campground. The campgrounds are about seven miles from town, the last three of which are on a fairly good unpaved road. There is a dump station a mile or so before the first campground turnoff but there is no water there. Potable water is available from central spigots in each campground but filling a large tank from them is awkward, so going in with a full tank is recommended. Firewood is available for purchase from the rangers. We enjoyed this park and will go there again.

This park is centrally located in California Redwood country. It is an older facility as other reviewers have noted but has been well-maintained. It has been a favorite of ours for many years. Sadly however rates have been increased aggressively over the past two years to the point that it is way over-priced. We will not be going back.

This campground is in a scenic and quiet location on the Eel River in the heart of the California Redwoods. It is an older facility with limited accommodations for larger RVs but we had no trouble with our 35' motor home. Our site was "on the river" but it was some distance away and not visible, partly at least because this was mid-summer and the water level was very low. Our biggest complaint was that the park's power grid was inadequate to support the load in the summer heat. We had only 105 volts at our site and could not run our A/C on it. We did get permission to run our generator for a few hours until after dark when the outside temperature cooled down.

This used to be a park we liked a lot but it has changed. The riverfront sites we enjoyed in the past are gone - replaced by boxy little pre-fab "cabins" that block the river views for everyone else. Recently the park became a KOA. The new owners have cleaned the place up a bit but have imposed a big increase in fees. The rate on our pull-thru site was $55, by far the highest in the area. We will not be back.

This is a somewhat remote park in a pretty mountain setting. It is about 15 miles south of Colorado Springs and any shopping so pick up your groceries before you go. The remote location make is a very tranquil place. There is no highway, train, or other noise to disturb the peace. There are lots of trees. The sites are spacious and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The only thing that some might consider a negative is the distance from attractions and shopping but that is what makes such a pleasant place.

I don't understand complaints about this park being "dated". Other than not having 50-amp hookups it has all of the amenities a good park should have including a WiFi system that actually works. It is pretty with lots of trees, and very clean. It is easily the best between Eureka and Santa Rosa and a good base for visiting the Redwoods. My only (minor) gripe is a new front office system that requires guests to return to the registration desk on the day of departure to settle the bill, rather than doing it at check-in.

It is all about location. This park is on some of the most expensive real estate in the country, which must be the reason for the astronomical rates. The Premium Sites that face the bay are very nice if you can stand the price but the rest of park is disappointing. The sites are closely spaced in standard side-by-side configuration with bare earth pads, sparse landscaping and no views. Some are adjacent to or across the road from factory-built housing modules that are used as rental “cottages”. If you simply must have an RV site in Newport Beach this is the only choice and you will probably enjoy it if you can afford a premium site. Otherwise I cannot recommend it.

This is an upscale park that is attractive, well maintained and quiet. The staff is friendly and helpful. We keep going back in spite of rates that are a bit on the high side.

We have stayed at Rancho Sedona numerous times over the past several years and have always enjoyed it. The park is conveniently located near Sedona's major shops, art gallerys, restaurants and other attractions. It is clean, quiet and well-maintained and the staff has always been polite and helpful. There are a group of sites located along the bank of the creek that are especially nice. Certain ones of those are designated "Executive Sites" that are larger and offer added ammenities. The prices at Rancho Sedona are on the high side but are not out of line given the location. I read the cluster of negative reviews of this park including one that accused the park owners of posting reviews of their own site. There is a suspicion that more than one of those may have been by the same person.

This a pleasant, quiet little park located in the town of Chama and on the banks of the Chama River. We had a large site on the river's edge with nice views. Our only complaint is that the rate seemed way too high for off-season. The scenic train ride had shut down for the winter and park was nearly empty.

Located anyplace else this park would get a poor rating but the location is outstanding. We are there now, parked in a spot just 50 yards from the surf on a beautiful flat sandy beach. It is spectacular. The grounds and facilities are clean. On the down side the park is suffering through a transition that has diminished its appeal to those seeking full services. The owners are trying to sell it but possibly because of cash flow problems have closed attractions like the trout pond and deferred some maintenance. Biggest problem: the sewer system is temporarily (?) unusable because it does not meet state environmental requirements. I fear the property is ripe for redevelopment and may not exist as an RV park much longer. Enjoy it while you can but come with empty holding tanks.
