Terrific setting: meadow, trees, mountains, and a great location for the Black Hills. But management doesn't seem to know much about RVs, especially big rigs. Many very tight (90 degrees, one turn to/from main exit road more like 120 degrees). Then they have added posts and huge rocks to make it even harder to drive: guess they don't know that coach with attached toad can't back up. Their rules say don't drive on grass (actually just weeds) but this can't be avoided due to tight turns, narrow roads, narrow gravel pads, etc. Wi-Fi is seriously deficient: very slow when it works, but also poorly configured. It is easy to get totally locked out: had to get office helper to unplug the entire camp's Wi-Fi router so I could get back online. It requires frequent re-log-ins and upon connection displays the title of a different campground! They also have two of their Wi-Fi access points on adjacent channels (5 and 6) which should never be done as it messes up both. The camp's grounds have unrealized potential, degraded by silly things. The official swimming pool parking lot is next to pool, but there's no gate except on the other side of the pool! The pancake breakfast gets expensive fast. The only place to dump trash is hundreds of yards from the big rig area. If only the camp operators would try to do what their customers must do, they'd probably realize how annoying some of it is. I'd go back, knowing the frustrations, but still shaking my head....

A modest facility: essentially a field with hookups, though a few sites have trees. Good for visiting historic sites of Fort Laramie, Register Bluff, pioneer wagon ruts, etc. Owner has lots of sightseeing advice, brochures, etc. Wi-Fi worked. Laundry room was good to have. Light sleepers note that a major rail line is a hundreds yards away and many trains passed during the night, each blowing its air horn loud and long. Also note that this is a rural area, some distance from fuel, food, etc.

Parking lot style: very tight, lots of trees that mainly got in the way. But for an overnight in Winnemucca, there are not many choices. It seemed mainly populated by transient/seasonal/project workers, with many, many trucks. The park's restaurant was pretty good... for Winnemucca.

Excellent location on west end of town (and a fun town it is). Very helpful staff. Big-rig/pull-through area spacious, while older back-in sites seemed tight. However, some of the big-rig area gets muddy even with no rain. The problem is watering of site grass patches, with insufficient gravel on site pads/roads so water pools and mud forms. I knew this in advance from various forums but camp managers said they'd never heard of the problem. But even after being warned and asking for a non-muddy site, I had to walk through mud all the time. Maybe camp managers should take a walk and see it too.

Yellowstone's only RV camp with hookups can't lose, so they don't try to win. Extremely tight back-in sites, essentially a parking lot in the forest. But since there's nowhere else.... Note that there seems to be no cellphone service at Fishing Bridge even though there is excellent service in some areas of Yellowstone. I use Sprint aircard for my laptop, plus a Sprint phone, and had to drive to Canyon Lodge or Old Faithful Lodge or a couple of other places just to get a connection. It's 2009: hello??? This all seems absurd, but the company that manages Yellowstone's concessions confirmed their level of performance by the food their restaurants serve. Suggestion: pack your own lunch.

On the property of fairgrounds: but just a dusty parking lot with spaces marked in chalk on gravel/dirt. Wi-Fi was very slow and seems to block some sites/addresses (such as U.S. National Park Service ?!) Hookups are at the back of back-in spaces so some might need longer power cords and hoses. Only virtue is the location: one of the very few campgrounds in SF Bay Area, with a BART station a few miles away, plus a mall and all major retail chains. Several nice restaurants in quaint downtown Pleasanton. There's a ton of potential, but apparently the City of Pleasanton and County of Alameda are not embarrassed enough to do anything to improve their only RV park. I'll return only because there are no other options.
