This is a fairly decent casino campground, but service is lacking and there is an inconvenience factor which went into my numerical rating. The RV office is closed. You don’t know that until you’ve hassled with following the signs to it. No shuttle service. A 300 yard walk from the lower section to check-in at the hotel. Water pressure was high. Voltage was a bit low. With 30A and low voltage, I doubt one could run large equipment. Bathroom/laundry was locked and check-in failed to give me the combo. All pull-through sites, but it’s inline parking with two rigs per site. The rig in the back will have to back out so that doesn’t really make it a pull-through. And you’re sharing the same piece of grass. Sewer connection requires extra length of hoses. Trees don’t offer shade since you park east and west. The roads and some of the turns in the campground are narrow. Wi-Fi and cable service was very good. I forgot to ask, but I suspect you could use the hotel facilities as an RV guest. Considering the price, one gets their money’s worth here.

This is a good place to do an over nighter. It's convenient to the interstate, but far enough away to preclude road noise. The utilities are good, lots of cable channels, strong Wi-Fi, and with nice bathhouse facilities. The access road is paved and the sites are pea-gravel. There are long and level enough for all size rigs. There is a small playground area and a nice gift store. Customer service is good. The negative is that there is no shade and very little space between sites. Cramped is an appropriate term.

This is a nice, small Mom/Pop type facility where it appears that an effort has been made to make the campground a pleasing stay for each guest. CG directory said 30 sites, but I counted about 22. Utilities were excellent. Wi-Fi signal was strong, and satellite signal easily received. No cable tV and no cell reception. Bathrooms and shower facilities aren’t fancy, but they are spacious, extremely well kept, and very clean. Laundry consisted of a couple of machines each: which is enough for this campground. Sites are gravel, level, and long enough for any size rig. There is a grass strip between each site with a picnic table, but that space is only enough to put out the slide and awning without infringing on your neighbor. There isn’t any playground equipment, but there is a nice separate area with a picnic table, water fountain, and a few shade trees where the kids can play; or they can climb apple trees for amusement. This is a convenient location to tour Zion NP.

This is one of those paved subdivision type campgrounds.The price of a site is high, but everything is upscale. If the intent is to park your RV here and take the train to the south rim of the canyon, this is the place to stay. If for no other reason than there is a price break for combining the two and the icing on the cake is that you get to use, without charge, the amenities of the hotel. The cable channels are limited, but satellite signals are unimpeded. Wi-Fi signals are strong. There aren’t any individual site picnic tables, but there is a very nice centrally located pavilion with tables and gas BBQ grills. The bathhouse is a superior facility. The reason that I’m not giving this a ten is that my reservation was butchered beyond the limit, there is a fair amount of road and train noise, and there are street lamps at every other pad that light up the inside of the rig at night. Customer service is very good.

The May 2009 review is indeed not this campground. This is a nice, no hookup US Forest Service campground. The access roads and sites are paved or hard packed gravel. It’s in a forested area with ample space between the majority of sites. There are pit and flush toilets and one shower facility. There are a couple of community water faucets to fill holding tanks. There is a posted diagram of the campground near the entrance: it’s worthless. The left side of Loop B is the place for big rigs with several back-in and three crescent shaped pull through sites. Sites in Loop A vary in size. The campground is right at Red Canyon FS Park and about 20 minutes from Bryce NP. The fee is based on a Golden Age/Access rate discount and the rating is based on like, no hookup campgrounds.

This is a local community campground that is a part of a recreational park. Basically, it is a parking lot with 30A electric and water hook-ups. All of the sites are parallel back-ins with very little space between rigs. Some sites have to share a water faucet. The voltage was good enough to run my AC and water pressure was normal. No amenities except trash cans and a dump station. No bath house. Open enough to get satellite signals. There is a golf course nearby. It’s a good over nighter because it isn’t far off the interstate, has easy access, and is priced right.

This is a small campground on south side of town next to the highway. Road noise is obvious. RV sites are gravel, level, with a small concrete patio and picnic table. Voltage was a bit low at the time of my stay. Water pressure was good. Lots of cable channels and satellite signals are easily received. Wi-Fi is free, fast, and reception was good. Playground equipment is available. The majority of sites are big enough for most rigs, but the longer ones will have to unhook tow or towed. The staff has excellent knowledge of the local Nat’l Parks, facilities in town, and provides excellent customer service. This is not a picturesque, destination campground so it is not fair to rate it the same as one that is. But all the necessities are available and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Rate reflects a PPA discount.

This is a nice USFS campground; dry camping only. The only amenity is a picnic table and fire ring. There is no dump station, but then most USFS campgrounds lack them. It’s laid out well with large, wide, gravel sites. They are all level. The campground appears to have been designed around the tall pine trees which did sacrifice a bit of shade but added to the aesthetic quality. There are 50 plus campsites, but the recreation.gov website doesn’t list any of them and you can’t make reservations. Rating based on like dry camping parks. Rate reflects Interagency Pass discount.

I generally agree with the previous posters but with one exception. Despite the tree lined environment, this campground is more or less a subdivision. That means that there isn't much space between sites. If your neighbor plays loud music or is offensive in other ways, you will be very aware of it. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the park, professionalism of the staff, and that all sites were level. Being surrounded by lake access is a bonus.

I arrived here in what might be called the tourist shoulder season between cold and warm weather. It appeared that the campground was coming out of a hibernation mode and in the process of gearing up for “the summer season.” The office wasn’t manned, but after a short wait someone did show up to check us in. The bath house is well kept, but the heater is on a timer that must be activated by the user. Personally, if I’m at a full service camp ground, I expect a heated bath house when it’s cold outside. The cable wasn’t working, but we were told that it was in the process of being repaired. Wi-Fi was good. Satellite signal reception depends on your site. Tall trees adjacent to some sites will block the signal. Access roads and sites are gravel. Sites are level and long enough for most rigs, but they might be messy during wet weather. If you run several appliances at the same time, the camp ground voltage will drop substantially. Rate reflects an ‘off season’ rate.

C/G has all of the facilities one would expect from a higher rated campground so I will only add to the previous reviews. Pool is indoors. Overnight sites aren't spacious, but the rest of the park sites have plenty of space between them. Free Wi-Fi in the club house, but on site it is a pay for use system. Some playground equipment for kids. Plenty of cable channels. Water pressure and voltage was very good. Rate reflects a Passport America discount.

You can view their website to see what this place was intended to be. It falls a bit short of that so it isn’t a destination park. It’s next to the interstate so road noise is constant. The access roads and pads are gravel. The sites are mostly pull thrus, level, and just long enough for a big rig, but very close together. The wind blows constantly in the spring. Enough to rattle the rolled up awnings. On the positive side, the voltage, water pressure, and customer service was good. Free WiFi with strong signal, but still slow. Bath and laundry facilities are well kept. There is a nice western style gift shop plus a restaurant on site. Notwithstanding the wind and road noise, on balance this is an OK place for a day or two. Rate reflects a Passport discount.

While I agree with the previous comments, one must remember this is a sparsely populated area of Wyoming. Choices in campgrounds are limited. Despite the closeness to the interstate that plagues most KOAs, the road noise here is minimal. WiFi is free and strong. Satellite signals are easily obtained because there aren’t any trees to block it. There were lots of cable channels and clean facilities. The permanent sites are in a separate area. Except for being absurdly over priced, mark it down as just a better choice of places to remain overnight while on the way to somewhere else.

I normally wouldn’t rate a military campground on this site due to it being restricted to military and DoD personnel. But since it’s already here, I’ll provide an update to previous reviews. The header of of this review states for Military Camping Only. That’s not completely true. Civilians are allowed to stay here if accompanied by someone who is normally authorized to do so. It is an “in the woods” CG. Access roads aren't tight, but you'd do well to pay attention while driving to the site. Roads and sites are gravel. Some sites require a small degree of leveling. The is plenty of space between them. The main two bath houses are at the front and back of the park requiring a small hike if you’re not close. WiFi is still excellent and the water pressure still extremely high.

Although without hookups, this is one of the nicest Forest Service campgrounds I’ve used. The sties are gravel, long, and level with plenty of elbow room between them. Each has a separate sand covered tent pad, picnic table, fire ring, and a metal table for holding a portable grill. The camp ground doesn’t have bath houses, but they do have vaulted toilets that were clean and well maintained. There are community water faucets available to fill holding tanks when needed. It is within walking distance of a large lake with a boat ramp and excellent fishing. There was no cell or TV signals and getting satellite signals is a challenge due to tall pine trees. It’s remote, but the road is paved and all sizes rigs can navigate it. My rating is based on like primitive campgrounds vs. commercial ones with hookups. It would have been higher, but there isn't a dump station. It’s a good place to get away from civilization, but not have to work at maneuvering the rig among the trees to do so.

This is a concessionaire managed, US Forest Service facility. The positives for this campground it is big rig friendly with paved access roads, easy in and out, and all sites are concrete or paved. Full hook-ups and pull thru’s are not the norm, but are available thru out the campground. Space between sites is abundant. Each has a picnic table and fire ring/grill. Water pressure and voltage was good. There is a nice separate tent area only, also spacious, but without hook-ups. Bath houses are conveniently spaced thru out the campground. There are two small lakes and nice biking/hiking trails. One lake has a pavilion, seasonal concession, and designated swimming area. The negatives are that the access roads have some potholes and crumbling pavement. Most sites will require some higher degree of leveling - more for longer rigs. The bath houses aren’t heated, there is no laundry or playground, dump station, and the single dumpster is not within walking distance of the campsites. Satellite reception will only be possible on a few sites and good TV reception is also minimal. The Golden Age and Access card is recognized, but only for a discount instead of the normal half price fee. Without this discount the cost is comparable to a commercial CG with more amenities. My rating is a reflection of a few too many negatives and the high price for a site. But, if the intent of one’s visit is to take advantage of natural surroundings with camp site privacy, then this is a good place to do it.

I concur with previous reviewers so I am just adding to the info. There are four separate looped areas with each having it a nice bath house and laundry. All are now 30A only, but one is supposedly being upgraded with 50A. Couldn't verify due to its being closed for the season. Some lakeside sites (back-ins) do have a entry slope issue. The pads are level, but the driveway slope will cause hitch dragging for travel trailers and motor homes. There are a handful of pull thrus. The library in Eufaula has a Wi-Fi hotspot. Rate reflects Access Pass discount.

Typical Casino RV Resort campground - concrete subdivision with level sites, ample space, and multiple amenities. The place was full and still had good voltage and water pressure. Wi-Fi signal good thru out the park; free, but a little slow at the time of my visit. The only negative for me was that the cable had limited channels, but since there isn't many trees, satellite signals are easily obtained. The CG is about 20 miles from the interstate so using it as an overnight might not be convenient altho I thought it worth the drive.

Sites are definitely big rig friendly. Except for three concrete ones near the bathhouse the sites are gravel. All are level. Ample space between each especially 19 – 29. Paved access roads with no overhanging limbs to dodge. There is a small playground, hiking trails and nearby canoe rentals. Lots of tall trees so there may be some lack of satellite reception depending on the site. The overflow is a looped paved road/parking area that makes for a nice place to do a boondock over night if you are self-contained. I downgraded a point for lack of a laundry, but this is one of the nicest state park campgrounds I’ve been in. It was completely full with some overflow. Best to make a reservation.

The mailing address for this campground is Bainbridge, GA but it is actually only a few miles from Chatachooee, FL. The website has reviews for this same campground under each of those two towns. Sites are in three separate loops. One is a paved parking lot with 30A. The other two have 50A. Of those, one has gravel pads and the other has concrete pads. Water pressure and voltage good. Fire rings, picnic table, and grills on all sites. Satellite reception might be a problem in two of the three loops due to trees. This is a nice campground, but there is an inconvenience factor here. There is only one bathhouse with one shower, one set of laundry equipment, and one dumpster – all are not within a normal walking distance for the majority of sites. For a campground of this size, that is not acceptable. The boat ramp is very narrow. There isn’t a playground. Because of the need for a 180 degree turn on both ends, those with rigs longer than about 32 feet will not be able to get into the dump station when entering the park. The nearest decent size grocery store is about 15 miles away. The picnic tables aren’t covered which is not the norm for COE parks. As mentioned in earlier reviews there is still an ant problem. Our rating reflects the inconvenience factor. Daily rate also reflects a half price park pass.

I generally agree with all previous positive comments, but would like to clarify some of that review information that is in error. The park isn’t actually ‘remote’ in that it’s only 12 miles from Carlsbad, which includes the 4.5 miles off the main highway. The park is landscaped with plenty of trees, but in the high desert area of SE NM they don’t grow high enough for shade. $4 won’t get you into a site unless you have some form of NM park pass. The rate posted for my review is the current published price. The one-way mileage to the nearby attraction of Sitting Bull Falls is actually 45 miles. There is 50 amp service in about a third of the sites to include the only three pull thru’s. About one third of the sites require at least some back to front leveling. Only about a third of the sites will accommodate big rigs, but those that do are nice, level, lengthy sites. Access roads and pads are paved. Water pressure and voltage was good, but the park wasn’t full.

This is a former Corp park. It’s spread out over 15 miles with multiple sections with a total of about 125 sites, tents included. I am only reviewing about 40 sites near the south entrance. Those sites are long, level, and wide with picnic shelters and grills. Water and electric was good. Bath houses have some age but are clean and well maintained. No laundry. As previously mentioned in other reviews, the bath houses, playground, and dumpsters are not in close proximity to most sites. The lake level is still low. Boat ramps are unusable, but Texas State Parks allow free fishing if you are camping in them. Access roads are easy in and out. Park is about 3 miles from shopping and major highways which makes for good RON or extended stay. Posted rate does not include a $3/person/day extra charge.

It is obvious that this camp ground is over priced with few amenities, but when one needs a place to stay that is close and convenient to Big Bend, it’s the also the obvious choice. It’s pretty flat in this part of Texas, so one would expect level sites. This campground managed to make that a chore. Water pressure and voltage was good, but there were only five rigs in the campground at the time of my visit. There are only a few 50A sites. Cable channels are minimal. You will not get satellite signals. I do not know why, but I checked this out with other RVers while we were here. Perhaps it’s in the satellite twilight zone. Cell phone coverage was available. If you are close to the building, free Wi-Fi is available from a restaurant’s hotspot that is on the edge of the campground. If you are not, don’t expect to receive a signal. There are some nicer campgrounds that are 50-90 miles from Big Bend that offer more for the money. One must chose between them and being closer to the entrance of the National Park. My rating of this campground really means little. It come down to how far one wishes to drive from the campground to Big Bend.

Al tho it’s a nice one, the campground is taking some liberty calling itself a resort without having all the extra amenities found at one. The sites are nice long, level pull thrus with plenty of space between them. Each site has a picnic table and some have a charcoal grill. There is a separate tent only area. Water pressure and voltage was good. Wi-Fi is free and an excellent signal. Antenna is in the middle of the campground. Bathhouse is very nice with individual bathroom/showers similar to home bathrooms. There is a clean laundry room. The one and only staff employee/host doesn’t spend 24/7 in the office, but there is an obvious note indicating which site she is in. She provided excellent customer service with area info and printed handouts. There isn’t any billboard signage for the campground, but the town is only a couple miles long. It isn’t that hard to find. The rate reflects the half price Passport discount.

This is a newly built RV campground. Everything is gravel back-ins. Can't rate the bath house because there isn't one. Also, no laundry, cable, Wi-Fi, picnic tables, or shade. The sites are fairly close together. There is no office. One must call a phone number for someone to come to the park and unlock the utility box and collect fees. It's a decent overnight place if it isn't full to where you would be crowded by your neighbor. Priced a bit high considering one only gets utilities.

A convenient state park about 3 miles off the interstate. Good for an overnighter and also extended stay if one is into sand dunes. About half of the sites are back-ins and half are pull thru. All but one or two will serve all size rigs even with tow vehicle attached. Water pressure good. Voltage good, but campground was only one third full. No trees, one bath house, no laundry facility. Covered picnic shelters. Easy access in and out. Ranger staff very helpful. I'd bump the rating up one point if it had sewer.

There are several loops in this COE campground park with two being dedicated to equestrian, one to tenters, one containing covered shelters, and the others are for the usual RV. All campground sites have fire pits, grills, and covered picnic tables. There is one playground for the entire park. One bathhouse per loop, but no laundry facilities. Water pressure and voltage was good. The 30A only loops are heavily treed making satellite reception difficult. Access roads in the majority of the loops are narrow with tight turns that require caution for longer rigs. Definitely, not big rig friendly. The loop containing 50A service was the least desirable. Those pads were gravel and mostly unleveled. All sites in this campground are much less spacious than that of a typical Corps park. The dump station wasn’t level, which would prohibit a complete emptying of all tanks. The trees over the roads and pads are in desperate need of trimming. All but the smallest of rigs will get a good scraping either on the access roads or the sites themselves. This COE park would be at the bottom of my list for a return visit.

This is a combination marina and campground with a convenience store/gas station on site. Access roads and RV sites are gravel, well maintained, and level. Each site has a picnic table with concrete patio. With the exception of a handful of back-ins, everything is pull thru. The sites are long, but somewhat narrow. The picnic patio extends virtually into any rig parked on the adjacent site. Voltage, water pressure, satellite, and cell signals were good. The are lots of cable channels. Wi-Fi is free and covers the entire park alto those farther from the office may get less signal strength. I didn’t see any repeaters. A laundry room is also available. It’s a very good place to RON and as well as an extended stay provided you don’t get parked next to another rig.

I agree with all of the previous positive reviews and comments, but cannot rate it as high. There are only four pull thrus and two of those aren’t big rig friendly. It doesn’t have Wi-Fi or cable. There isn't a laundry facility and there is only one bathhouse, which is an uphill climb for all sites. The trees will block satellite signals. There are a couple of security lights near the enclosed pavilion that will absolutely turn total darkness into daylight for anyone site near them. The most annoying aspect of this campground was that it had an extremely high water pressure. Even with a regulator, the pressure was above normal limits. I switched to my holding tanks to preclude damaging any on board water lines. The separate tent only area is nice, but one would be hard pressed to find level sites for more than one small tent. This one is difficult to rate. I downgrade it for the lack of amenities and unacceptable water pressure, but appreciate the nature aspect. I would return, but I'd take two water regulators the next time.

This is a small owner occupied campground. The access road is gravel and needs work. The sites are gravel and a fair amount of leveling is required especially for longer rigs. There is only one bath facility for the entire campground. A laundry room is available. There were several older, permanent, travel trailers on site. Voltage and water pressure were good as well as sat and cell coverage. There isn’t any cable. No one mentioned Wi-Fi at check-in so I can't comment on it. There is nothing special about this place, but it would work well as a place to stay for a couple days. Rate reflects a Passport discount.

This is a Corp of Engineer campground. Budget restrictions have presently limited it to 21 sites. Access roads are paved and sites are gravel. All sites are large and level. Most are lake front back-ins, but all have a lake view. There are a handful of pull thrus. Each site accommodates all size rigs, multiple tents, and has a fire ring, grill, and picnic table. Voltage and water pressure were good, but the campground wasn’t full. There are plenty of trees for shade, but they may interfere with satellite signals. The campground is off the beaten path, but it is an excellent place to RV in peace and quiet. I don’t normally comment on the staff, but I was especially impressed with the professionalism and courtesy of the on site park ranger. Price reflects the Access Card discount.

This is a typical KOA with the standard amenities, above average road noise, and high priced camp sites. Roads are combination of paved/gravel and need some work. Sites are all pull thrus on SC fine sand, but they are level. The noise from the adjacent interstate is 24/7. This is a convenient stopping place for north and south traveling snowbird traffic so also expect noise from the early risers who just pulled in for one night. Picnic tables at each site and a few fire rings scattered thru out. Water and voltage was good. Wi-Fi is a free, third party system. Signals were excellent thru out the CG. Plenty of washer/dryers in the laundry. Most sites have trees which may interfere with satellite signals unless an external dish is used. Cell phone reception is good.

This is one of those campgrounds that you are forced into using because it’s the only game in town. You don’t get “comfort amenities”, but the basics are available. Easy access to the interstate, cable, full hook ups, laundry, and bath facilities to name a few. Water pressure and voltage were good. TV and cell coverage were also good. Space between sites was adequate. There is some road noise from a nearby two-lane highway. Wi-Fi is available on a pay for use basis.

All the previous reviews are accurate to include the low one that mentioned refund issues. In addition, there is a small marina with deli-type restaurant on site. The majority of sites are level. A laundry room is available. There are two large bath facilities that were nice and clean. There is a small tent only area on the perimeter of the campground. This campground has all of the amenities of a 9 or 10 rated campground with the following exceptions. Unless you are in the first half of the sites near the office area, the Wi-Fi signals are low. They advertise a phone hook-up on site, but I didn’t see any. The water pressure is high and the voltage is low. Bring a water pressure regulator and expect to use power management. Using my basement heat/air unit without significant voltage drop required that I turn off everything but basic lighting. At the prices charged, one expects to have good electric and water service. The rating reflects the lack of both.

I agree with all previous reviews except the one referring to this being “an ok campground for the weekend, but not much else.” That’s way off track. The campground is divided into multiple sections with campsites in each. Access roads are paved, sites are gravel. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. The pull thrus are typically crescent shaped. All sites have plenty of room and are spaced well apart. Trees are abundant providing much shade, but may interfere with satellite signals without an external antenna. They don’t interfere with the lake views. Water pressure and voltage good. TV and cell signals also good. Bath facilities were clean. I did not see a laundry facility or playground. There is a train crossing at the entrance of the park that produces some noise, but only happens a few times a day. Note that all but one section is closed for the winter and it’s on a first come basis. Rate reflects a Golden Access discount.

Gravel roads, grass sites that need some front to back leveling, and a handful of 50A full hookups. Laundry facility. Water pressure good. Voltage on my 50A site wouldn't support heavy loads. The pool water had a top layer of algae. The office isn't manned regularly. Wi-Fi works if you are in the office building. The signal is only from the office computer's ethernet box and I doubt it will support more than 5 users at one time. I was told that the land on which the CG sets was up for sale. Probably the reason no expense has been put into it. Not a terrible campground, but akin to a low budget hotel. Good for a short stay.

This campground has a nice website and free WiFi, but that’s the best I can say about it. It fronts a four lane highway so there is road noise. Sites are very close together and sloped to varying degrees. The access roads are narrow and need work. Except for a couple sites up front, it is definitely not big rig friendly. Utility pedestals are in need of repair. Bathhouse was clean considering it was a cinder block building with paint peeled off several walls. Laundry facility available. Cable didn’t work. Picnic table, but no fire rings. WiFi signals strong in the entire park. Voltage and water pressure good. Cell phone signals were weak. Lots of tall pines so one may not get satellite signals without an external dish. There a lot of permanents and seasonals with older RVs in this CG. Rate reflects Passport Discount.

This is an update to the previous reviews. The campground construction is now complete. I found no issues with signage or entry area parking. The campground is a stones throw from the interstate so there is some noise. Access roads are paved, sites are gravel and level. The pull thrus are long making for excellent over night parking. The space between all sites is not wide, but because they are of a parallel setback design, it provides enough space to deploy awnings and slides without crowding your neighbor. There is a very small pool, but no picnic tables, fire rings, or shade trees. The bathhouse was complete and clean. Voltage and water pressure were good. The Wi-Fi is not free. According to the owners, there are some log in problems that they will correct. It’s obvious that the owner’s are attempting to provide a first class campground for travelers. Notwithstanding the closeness to the interstate, they are succeeding.

This is a huge, well-maintained, ascetically pleasing Corp park with multiple campground sections located around and in close proximity to the lake. This is arguably one of the best in Texas. There is something here for everyone including large covered picnic shelters with BBQ barrels, group shelters with water/electric 50/30 amp hookups, individual screened shelters for tenters, two swim beaches, multiple dump stations, two covered community playgrounds, and several boat ramps. 50 amp sites are plentiful and a few full hook-up sites have recently been added. The majority of all sites are generally large, paved, level, and easy to get into. There is a combination of back in and pull throughs. They advertise 67 sites, but that’s probably outdated on the low side. Voltage and water pressure was good, but the place wasn’t crowded during the stay. Shade trees are plentiful and deer are abundant. There are clean bathhouse facilities in each area, but they’re just OK. Most are small, lack electrical outlets, and water sources are on timed sensors. The park is off the beaten path so there wasn’t any cell coverage. We were allowed to drive through the park and pick any site that was non-reservable. That is the best way to get the ideal site here.

Flat Rock is adjacent to the Lakeside Corp campground and it is also on the Hords Creek Lake. We did not camp in this park, but a review of it is easy. It is generally a mirror image of Lakeside campground, with the exception of site utilities. Read the Lakeside review. This campground is mostly water/electric 30-amp service, but there are a few full hook up sites and a few 50-amp sites.

This KOA is located near the interstate and a truck stop, which provides plenty of noise at all times. The sites are narrow. My rig and another almost touched slides. Motor homes with towed vehicles will barely fit the length of most sites. The access road and sites are rutted dirt. There is no shade. Bathrooms were clean. Wi-Fi is free and signal good. There is a pool. Water pressure was 95 psi, which is 30% over the normal limit and can damage RV water lines. The staff, to their credit, notifies everyone of this issue at check-in. Take a pressure regulator if you stay here. Most KOAs are just average campgrounds. This one is below that standard and well overpriced. Other reviews listed deficiencies, but still rated it high. Don’t know how that could be.

This is a scenic and large state park located at the bottom of its namesake canyon with three looped RV campgrounds and two primitive tent only sections. The tent areas were not impressive. Most of the RV sites in Sagebrush or Mesquite are back-ins that will accommodate larger RVs with 50A needs. One half of the Mesquite sites are not level. The Hackberry section is 30 amps only and generally for rigs less than 32 ft. All camp sites are easy access in and out and they have picnic tables and fire pits. There is one or two playgrounds in the park, but none are convenient to campsites. There is no laundry and no cell coverage. Satellite/TV signal coverage was good. In west Texas trees are usually shorter mesquite or live oak and are for site separation, not shade. The park has a visitor’s center, small store/restaurant, horseback stables, hiking, and biking trails. All worth visiting. I camped in Sagebrush and the voltage was very low when the weekenders showed up. It wasn’t possible to run the air conditioner. Imagine, no air in 90+ plus temps! Weekenders have as much right to good voltage as anyone else. It's a park problem. The 10% grade entrance road is not a real issue, but the three sharp blind curves are. The road is narrower in the curves. Two long RVs could not safely pass each other at those points. It is an accident waiting to happen so don’t traverse it during a heavy traffic period. Be aware that, in addition to the campsite fee, the Texas State Park system charges an entry fee - - per person, per day, whether or not you move in or out of the park. Cost wise, you can camp in a commercial park with considerably more amenities. No one could be disappointed with this park if they understand what it was intended to be. A place to camp, without amenities, where one can experience unique and scenic surroundings. Even with its unique environment it is absolutely not a 9 or 10 rating.

This campground is located atop Raton Pass at an altitude of almost 8000 ft. There isn’t much to add that hasn’t been said in previous reviews. There is a nice view on back-in sites, but I preferred the pull thrus with more room. All sites are level. Cell reception, water and voltage were all good. No cable, but you can pick up several TV stations and satellite reception from any site. There aren’t any trees so access in and out and parking is easy. Shade isn’t needed at this altitude. Nice cool evenings. Bring a blanket. Rate reflects a Passport America discount.

This is a large campground located on a lake with easy access in and out of it. Only about half of the listed sites are for RVs. The rest are tent sites. The park is divided into several looped sections with paved or gravel roads and a mixture of utility setups. The RV sites, all generally level with picnic tables and fire rings, are either concrete, paved, or gravel. Tent sites are grass. Water and voltage was good. The sites in the main section are all 50 amps, but not all of those have sewer. It is the only section that has trees. There are a handful of pull thru sites in the water and electric only sections of the campground. Bathhouses that were observed were clean and the grounds are well maintained. There is a nice boat ramp. No playground. There are quite a few seasonals, but they do not preclude getting a good site. The campground appears to be a storage lot for numerous older, unoccupied RVs. They are scattered through out, but mostly on the tent sites. The best way to get a good site is to drive thru before registering. Disregard the “This Site Reserved” signs. The park staff does a poor job of updating them. The biggest drawback of this campground is that you pay an entry fee, vehicle fee, and a fee for each utility which then raises the price to the level of a commercial C/G with amenities.

Blanding Landing and Blanding Landing Corp of Engineer as listed on this web page are one and the same so I will just expand on what other reviewers have covered. It is a campground that can accommodate most sized RVs, but is more suited for tents, campers, and shorter rigs. It is big rig accessible, but not necessarily friendly. It is located on a lake far from nowhere, but there was cell coverage. The fifteen mile paved road leading to it is hilly, curvy, and with some areas of overhanging tree branches. Once started down the road, there is no turn around point until in the campground. The shoreline portion of lake is covered with algae making any use of it impossible. The voltage is low even on 50A service. Power management is required. There is no laundry room. The community water faucets in the campground are mainly for refilling holding tanks. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. A dump station is available. Access roads are gravel and the grass sites that are fairly level. There are only four pull thru sites but they are the closest to the railroad track. Thankfully, the trains pass quickly so noise is short-lived. There are no street lights - at night it is pitch black. Because it’s off the beaten path, you may have the park all to yourself as we did. The gate attendants are only on duty from 6-9 pm so I think there might be a problem if you pick an empty site that might be reserved by someone else. Except passing trains, I personally enjoyed the woods, dark nights, and very peaceful solitude. But I have to rate based on what other’s would expect and that is less than the typical Corp campground would usually receive. If you have the tolerance for occasional train noise and don’t mind an “adventurous” drive then bump it up a couple points.

This campground is located at a corporate owned ski resort on a condo/cabin timeshare complex. There are 80 plus RV sites and 40 plus tent sites. Campground sites are available on a non-reservation basis. It’s heavily wooded with paved roads and RV sites. Access to RV pads is manageable even for big rigs. Tent sites are grass. Tents have their own separate, but nice, area in the complex. Water and voltage are good. The RV sites, which are spacious, have picnic tables, fire rigs, and grill. They are long enough for every size rig, but about half of them are sloped to some degree. The larger the RV, the more leveling required. Since reservations aren’t taken, you can occupy whatever is open. There are only four pull-thrus. Choose accordingly. The laundry, bathhouse, clubhouse, pools, and hot tubs serve the entire complex so expect to walk to one or the other. Wi-Fi is available at the registration building, but it is a pay-for-use system. There are 7 day/week multiple planned activities for adults and kids. Recreational facilities, mostly free, are too numerous to list here. A nice golf course and three restaurants are on site. The campground is not far from the tourist attractions in the Dells. Boredom is not an issue when staying here.

This is a very good Corp of Engineer campground. It is one of the more uniquely laid out ones I’ve been in. It is divided into multiple looped sections each with bathhouse and playground facilities that are centrally located and well maintained. The group and tent sections are circular with a pavilion in the center. Tent sites are grass. 30A electrical boxes are positioned around the perimeter so that a small sized rig can also use the section. It is a very nice setup for groups. The roads are paved. Some RV sites are gravel; some are concrete and all have a picnic table and fire ring/grill. Not all gravel sites are level despite the fact that they could be. The area is not hilly. There is a 30A only section, but 50A service is the norm. The voltage was good, but there is no water on the pads. There are numerous community water faucets for filling holding tanks. There is a huge amount of space between most sites. About half are shaded, but trees do not interfere with them or the access roads. The majority have ample parking for your tow or towed vehicle. Each section has a designated parking area for boats. The single dump station is two-way, but there will be a waiting line if the park is full. Trash dumpsters are at the entrance of the campground so you’ll have to driving to them. Downgraded the rating for the lack of water/sewer, some un-leveled, but one of the nicer Corp parks.

I did not stay in the campground, but because it does not have a previous review, this one is being posted. My comments are based on a detailed inspection of the facility. This is a nice Corp campground. It has trees that provide some shade for most sites, but they do not interfere with the sites or the paved access roads. There are only 33 RV sites, the rest are for tents. The separate tent only area is also nice. RV sites are gravel and will accommodate most sized rigs, but the bigger the RV the more front to back leveling will be required on about half of them. All sites are 30A service and only a selected few have water hook-ups. There are community faucets for filling holding tanks. Bathhouses were clean and centrally located. There is playground equipment for the kids. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings/grills. There is a small pond in the campground. This appears to be a very quiet place to stay.

This Corp campground is behind the Saylorville Lake dam and adjacent to the spillway. It has trees that provide some shade for most of the sites. The access roads are paved. There is no water hook-up, but there are community faucets for filling holding tanks. Picnic tables and fire rings/grills are located on each site. There is playground equipment. Most of the sites are level. There are a few pull thru sites. Bathhouses are centrally located and clean. The sites are gravel and they are so big that you could get two large RVs onto one site. The campground only has 30A service, but if you can deal with that this C/G would be ideal for big rigs.

If ratings are based on an assessment of a campground’s list of facilities, amenities, and quality then this one is not a 9/10. As National Park campgrounds go this may be one of the nicer, but it doesn’t compare with any campground that actually is a 10. Unless you are a Golden Access or Age card holder, it is pricey and there is an extra charge for electricity, use of the bath facilities, and making a reservation. The sites do not have water or sewer hook ups. There is no cable. It would even be difficult to get satellite signals considering the amount of trees. Larger motor homes and 5th wheels can fit onto a number of the sites, but it is not by standard measure a ‘big rig friendly’ campground. Overhanging trees on the access roads and some tight turns into the sites just make that not so. Some sites have 50A service and there are a few pull through sites. For a park with varying degrees of terrain, I was surprised at how level many of the sites were. Even those with longer rigs would most likely be able to find one that required minimum leveling. It’s a nice place to park for a few days and enjoy the peace and quiet of the outdoors as well as see the nature attractions in the local area. Price shown reflects a discount with Golden Access card.

The negative reviews of this park are also a mystery to me. The park staff was plentiful, courteous, and check in was easy. It’s not an over 55 adult only park, so families with kids are to be expected. All the sites are the same length and width and equally spaced apart, which makes me wonder why one would need to “ask for another site.” The maintenance crew empties trash cans every day. The fire rings could use some cleaning, but by no means were they trashy. The hook-ups are exactly where they should be –half way between the front and back of the site in order to accommodate a variety of RVs. The grass doesn’t contain weeds, was mowed, and in the hottest month of the year, can not be expected to be a lush green. One should not expect a campground to have full time dog-police on staff, but only to correct the actions of discourteous owners when observed. I did have a minor annoyance with the security gate entrance. It’s built to accommodate a Volkswagen, not a large rig. Very tight fit. Also, one should pay close attention to the electrical box on the site. It is tall and could interfere with slide out operation. It doesn’t get a 10 because that would mean it’s perfect. There are only a handful of those type campgrounds around. But it is well worth the cost and I enjoyed my stay.

This campground is aesthetically pleasing, meets basic needs, value priced, but it doesn’t have the all of the amenities of the more highly rated campgrounds. There isn’t a pool, playground, wi-fi, cable, and sewer at every site. The voltage is only 30A and there is some noise from a nearby four-lane road. However, it is a very nice, immaculately maintained campground. The roads are gravel in very good condition and the pads are a combination of gravel and grass. All sites are pull-through and the majority of the sites will accommodate a large rig. Some minor maneuvering may be required due to the trees near them. Picnic tables are at each site. There aren’t any fire rings, but most sites have a dug out portion of the ground in which to have a campfire. The bathhouse is an older cinder block structure, but it was spotless. The voltage was good, but not strong. Power management is required in a 50A rig. Tents are allowed, but not on the RV sites. The campground doesn’t take credit cards. The owners live on site and manage the campground. They provide excellent customer service. If you call and give them a little notice of your arrival someone will meet you in the campground to discuss which site best suits your rig and needs. You get the final choice of sites. They are also well versed on the tourist information. Despite the lack of amenities, I give it a good rating. It was too well run and maintained not to do so.

This campground has all of the standard amenities plus a hot tub, horseshoe pit, basketball net, and free WiFi. Access to both the back in and pull through sites is fairly easy. The staff is polite and helpful. The only bathhouse facility is located in the office building that is centrally located in the campground so those who are parked on the perimeter will have a 150-foot walk to it. It was clean, but only four showers serve 100 plus sites. There is a small laundry. Despite the amenities, there are some negatives. The roads are dirt/gravel and need some work. The grass areas in the park are unkempt. Although they are level, the pads are dirt and gravel with grass growing on them. About half of the sites are in the open without shade. Tents are allowed on and between RV sites. There is an extra charge for cable. The utility layout of the campground is the most unusual one that I have ever been in. All sites have water and a few have full hookups. But the majority are a random mix of sewer, different amperages, and cable. One would normally expect a large 50A site to have sewer, but many do not. Many sites with cable have only 30A. A 50A site will be next to a 30A site. Many sites with cable have no sewer. It’s like someone threw out a bowl of spaghetti and didn’t plan how to separate and connect it. It would be appropriate to be very specific about your needs when making a reservation. There are several camping discounts available. They recently became a Passport America campground. I get the feeling that the other reviewers felt the same way about this campground that I did. Things are lacking, but you have to give this one a good rating because of the amenities. We stayed in a motor home.

This is a casino campground that would be good for a one or two night stay unless one is willing to put up with several shortcomings. All sites are level pull thru, but are only about 15 feet apart. You will be close to your neighbor. 50A service is available, but the voltage was low. Not all sites have sewer. There is a discount for no sewer. There is a picnic table and fire ring on each site, but due to the closeness of rigs building a fire may not be possible. The cable service was good. Roads and pads are dusty dirt/gravel. More dirt than gravel. The bath house/restroom facility is located in one building, but oddly designed. The showers are separate from the restrooms requiring a walk outside and around the building after use of one or the other. The showers were always un-clean. Avoid any site with a street light. They are extremely bright and will flood the inside of the rig at night. Free Wi-Fi is available in the hotel/casino area. It cannot be received in the campground even tho it's only about 300 feet away. The campground staff is friendly, but has a limited knowledge of RVing.

This is indeed a smaller campground, but the sixteen pull thru sites with hook-ups will accomodate all lengths and widths. Altho, there is only about 15 feet between sites, it’s not awning to awning with your neighbor. There is some front to back sloping on about half of the sites, but easily managed. There are also sites along the perimeter but they were designed for tents or pop-ups. Those are sloped and have no hook-ups. A picnic table is available for every site, but the campground only has a single community fire ring. The wood is free. 50A voltage was good, but there were only a few rigs here during the weekday. There is no Wi-FI. Access roads and pads are gravel, but well maintained. There is a single small bath house, but it too was well maintained. No shade trees on the pads, but temps were low so they weren’t needed. The Casino is a 5 minute walk, but there is an on-demand shuttle. It was quiet despite the closeness to the parking lot. The golf course is gorgeous, rated highly by several golf magazines, and is therefore expensive. There is a large lake nearby where boats can be rented. The single staff member was pleasant and helpful. The best description of this campground is.. adequate for a few days.

The campground is located at one of the nicer Casinos in the state. Access roads are paved and all sites are concrete. Only about one third of the sites have full hook-ups. Those are called ‘premium’ sites. All have water/electric/cable. Good cable, voltage, and water pressure. The non-premium sites do not have picnic tables - an inconvenience if you like to grill and dine outdoors. The sites are long, but the space between each is only about 15 feet. The check-in office provides complimentary coffee and newspapers. The staff was excellent. Bath/shower facilities are located in that building and it is centrally located in the park. They were clean and well maintained. The laundry room only has two machines so doing laundry when the campground is full will be a challenge. Wi-Fi is free, but signal strength can be low if blocked by another RV next to yours. There is no playground for children. The pool and spa are located at the Casino. I rate this facility only an 8 due to the lack of full hook ups and picnic tables on all sites as well as the minimum width between sites; a shame because it could have been a 10. Be that as it may, it’s a very nice campground.

This is a campground at the Terrible Casino. The name of the casino is reflected in the ranking of the campground. The concrete pads are level but narrow. The roads are also narrow and in need of repair in several places. Those with larger rigs will find navigating into a site a bit uncomfortable. The sites have full hook ups, but there is no dump station, bathhouse, picnic tables, or fire rings. The courtesy lights are not working on half of the sites. There is a minor amount of road noise from the interstate and moderate noise from a nearby railroad crossing that is busy. Voltage and water pressure are ok. The valet parking section runs the park, but there is no attendant at the campground. It appears that the campground is not high on the Casino’s priority list. It is overpriced, even with a discount, and at the low end when compared with other Casino campgrounds.

This is a Corp of Engineer (COE) Park located about 6 miles westbound on Hwy 75 from I-35 with good access roads from the interstate. Positives: Paved pads and paved roads with easy access to sites. Many sites have full hook-ups. Those who use COE parks know that on site sewer is an anomaly. The CG is on a lake with ample and convenient access for fishing. The bathhouses are very nice and well maintained. There are several double and triple sites for those who might travel in a group and want to be close together. Water pressure is good. There is lots of shade, a playground for the kids, and the CG is aesthetically pleasing. Cell phone signals can be received. Negatives: Voltage was just OK. The trees that line the access road to most of the sites need to be trimmed. Most of the 50A sites have some degree of minor sloping; generally front to back. If you can live with a 30A power supply, then it is suggested that you pick one of those sites. Most of them are large enough to get a 40 ft rig into. They are much nicer than the 50A sites. Many are also lake front. We were here on Golden Access pass discount.

I concur with the rest of the reviewers. It’s a hidden gem. Two very minor points. Although the bathhouse facilities are excellent, there is only one building. If your site is at the back end of the CG, the walk is about 300 feet. Pine trees have been planted on every site to enhance appearance, but they aren’t tall enough yet to provide shade in hot weather. But then the flip side is that there is nothing to interfere with a satellite signal or beat against your rig. The comment from one reviewer about the pedestals interfering with the slide out is true - especially the water. Easily overcome by parking closer to the right side of the pad. Voltage and water pressure good. Wi-Fi worked very well and still free. I was impressed that the staff member who checked me in had the good forethought to put RVs on every other pad. That provided some solitude and privacy for everyone. Of course, that won’t be possible if the CG is full, but it does show that they know what they are doing. Passport discount park.

This is a city municipal recreation park with 90 sites. Full hook-ups with 30/50A. In addition, there are bathhouses, a pool, tennis court, 78 cable channels. picnic areas, pavilions, and a nice public golf course. No laundry facilities or fire rings. The majority of the sites are double side by side or front to back pull throughs. The dual hook up facilities are located in the middle of each site. Meaning- in one way or the other - you are going to share a site if the park is full. Avoid the back in only sites 73-80 unless you are happy doing a lot of back to front leveling. The front to back pull throughs are at least 30 feet but the side by side sites are awning to awning. Sites have trees to make it partially shaded, but they typically don't interfere with satellite reception. There is no road noise. The C/G is adjacent to the municipal airport, but airplane traffic is very light. The park is well maintained with a helpful staff. Voltage and water pressure are very good, even when it's are crowded. Any RV over 35 feet will find the front to back pull throughs a bit tight, but it is manageable. If I were rating the C/G by itself, I'd give it a 7 or three stars. But due to the amenities, closeness to town, being well maintained, and a $20/night fee, I give it an 8 or four stars.

No disrespect to the previous rater. But, either things have changed since their visit or I’m not sure we are talking about the same campground. This one is a five star, and I’m very tight with my top rating. If I were rating this by the same standard that a typical commercial campground directory does I’d give it a 9.0 or four W’s. The sites are so big that one could probably park two motor homes on one site. If that isn’t big rig friendly, I don’t know what is. Each site has a privacy fence, grill, and picnic table. The sites are what I would call ‘partially shaded.’ In west Texas, a tree is valuable commodity so don’t expect a lot of them. I checked Wi-Fi available, but be advised that it is at the base library, which isn’t far from the campground. You can either take your own laptop and log into Wi-Fi or use one of the library’s computers. Voltage was excellent, but the campground was not at capacity. Pets are allowed. Since the campground has full hook ups, I did not look for a bathhouse. There are only a couple of washer/dryers available, but who cares when they are free. There is a minor downside to the campground. It is located fairly close to the airfield. There is some noise associated with military jets taking off and landing. As a former military pilot, I consider that to be the sound of freedom, but if you want 24 hour peace and quiet, you may be disappointed during certain periods of the day. As with most military campground facilities, entrance requires you to be an approved Department of Defense employee with appropriate ID.

This is a Corp of Engineer Park. There are only two sites with 50A service, but they aren't full hookup. Six sites have full hook ups, but they are 30A, gravel pads, and require some leveling. There is only one pull thru and it's 30A. Only about 30% of the sites are "shaded." 1-15 are the better sites. All sites have covered picnic tables and fire pits. There is no laundry facilities and no playground. The campground does have two boat ramps and fishing piers. Good voltage and water pressure. The park gates are locked between 10 pm and 6 am. The bath houses leave allot to be desired - pit toilets and not all of them have showers. The trash dumpsters are small and not close to camping areas. This park is better suited for rigs less than 32 feet in length and only requiring 30A service.

This is a Corp of Engineer Park. With the exception of Loop 1, sites are a combination of paved and gravel. If you want space, stay in Loop 1 or get a site that borders the lake. Everything else is fairly close together. The seven sites in Loop 1 are full hookup with 50A service. All are paved, long, and level. That'll cost $26/night. There is no playground and no laundry, but the bath houses are well maintained. The park has a nice boat ramp and fishing pier. Voltage and water pressure were good. We camped in a motor home.

This a Corp of Engineer park located on Granger Lake between Granger and Taylor, Texas. Among the three COE campgrounds located near the lake, this one has larger sites that will serve "big" rigs. Unfortunately, there are only six 50 amp sites. The pads are paved with plenty of space between them as is normally the case with a COE park. They have several double sites with 30 amp service, but 'double' is a misnomer. They are only wide enough for two travel trailers without slide outs or awnings deployed. There is a nice playground for the kids and parents have an unrestricted view to watch them if they go bike riding on their own. Each site has a covered picnic table and there are pavilions available for large gatherings. There is a fishing dock, but it is not a short walk from the campsites. The dump station is easily accessed. There isn't any tourist attraction in Granger or Taylor. Shopping would best be done in Georgetown 20 miles to the west of the campground. Not withstanding the lack of more 50 amp sites, this is a nice, peaceful campground. I would have rated the campground higher, but the minimal number of 50 amp sites, no laundry room, and the dirty bathhouse facilities took their toll.

This is a well maintained mobile home park with a separate area for RVs. Most of the sites are pull through and long enough for most rigs, but most are sloped or humped in the middle and cannot be used without disconnecting the toad. There are 3 to 4 long, level, big rig sites that do not require the toad to be disconnected. They are typically used for overnighters. The mobile home side of the park has some sites that were converted for RV use for longer term stays. Those lots are large, level and wooded. The park is close to the interstate, so there is road noise. Laundry facilities are available. The staff is friendly, but they are mobile home managers, not RV park managers. If you have a large rig, get a big rig site or ask for one of the RV sites in the mobile home section.

This is one of the nicest Corp parks, not just in Texas, but among other states as well. It has all of the amenities include laundry facilities and plenty of 30/50 amp sites. There are three separate sections to this campground and all are well laid out with easy access to well-maintained bathhouses and within a minimal walk to the lake’s edges. The sites are paved and very large. There are two pull-thru sites, but are designed for two rigs front to back. They each have a covered picnic table and most of them are shaded. Trees are trimmed which precludes the typically scraping of the rig. Deer, squirrels, and turkey roam the area on a daily basis. If there were a downside to sections, it would be that you have to drive a very short distance to each. There is actually a fourth section to the park that can be reserved for very large groups of campers. There are approximately ten campsites in this area which are arranged in a circle. It would be idea for multiple RV family groups to get together or a small rally. The entire area must be rented. It’s an all-or-none package. Also, there are two very large picnic pavilions in this area. The park is easily accessed from off Highway 36 approximately 15-20 minutes from either Belton or Temple, Texas.

This is a nice state park. It's peaceful even if crowded. There is a laundry facility, picnic tables, and fire rings. The nearby golf course is gorgeous and well maintained. But, the campground is definitely not friendly to taller RVs. There are a substantial amount of low overhanging trees that will snag the top and sides of your rig as you drive thru it. Additionally, the voltage was low. The rating would be higher if those two issues were corrected.

This is a campground restricted to those who are active duty or retired military. Since not everyone can use the campground, I would not normally put a review on this site. But for those that can, I feel it deserves a small spot light for it’s cleanliness, amenities, and superbly congenial and competent staff. Additionally, there isn’t much selection of nice campgrounds in the central part of South Carolina. All sites are back in, and some are of different size, but the staff is adept at matching your rig with one that fits it. The sites are concrete, level, and have a grill and picnic table. The clubhouse/office has a TV room and convenient connect for a high speed LAN line should you need Internet connections. Co-located in the same building is the recreation equipment rental facility. The laundry and bathrooms were spotless. The sites are a bit close together, but there is plenty of room for slides and awnings.
