FMCA Campground (FMCA members only)

Cincinnati, Ohio

Date of Stay:

We use this as a stopover when transiting north/south on I-75. As said, it is a free (for members) full hookup stop. It is a parking lot with 15 slips and little else. Lots of room for a coach and a towed. Two nights a month are free, additional up to a week are $20/night. But, it is pretty quiet.

     

West Overlook COE

North Liberty, Iowa

Date of Stay:

This is another great COE park. The staff was courteous and helpful. If you do not have a COE book, get one. The parks can be difficult to locate. The standard fee here was 20$, but with a "Geezer Pass" it was 10$ and if you are eligible and don't have that card, get one. We were only looking for a shower and an overnight with electric as we didn't or want anything more. The setting is beautiful.

     

Willow Creek State Recreation Area

Pierce, Nebraska

Date of Stay:

We did not stay there for two reasons: A - The lake water is still on a Blue/Green Algae warning. This means our dog should not swim there. B - The total fee (day pass plus camping) would have been 25$. We already had the day pass, but we were only wanting a flat place forthe night. Those are the two reasons for this report.

     

Randolph City Park

Randolph, Nebraska

Date of Stay:

This needed to be updated from 2010 only so others know it is still here and very nice. It is a RV CAMPGROUND not an RV resort. I suppose you could pitch a tent on the nice grass. It is only a short hop off US-20. No traffic and No trains, just quiet. It is just what we were looking for in a place to have a late dinner and spend the night. As noted in the 2010 review, all they ask is a donation. There are only 6 slabs, but all 6 have a picnic table and most have 30amp and water. There is a dump and a dumpster. One might squeeze a big rig in here, but it would be tight - Very tight. We made the requested donation.

     

Heartland RV Park

Hermosa, South Dakota

Date of Stay:

We were charged full rate, but the pool, hot tub and showers most convenient to use were all closed. We stayed there for the buffalo round-up (Late September) and it was close by. There were no spaces available in the Custer SP. A warning for those with very low RVs, the site dump is much higher than grade. ~ 8" at our site.

     

Pioneer Park

Torrington, Wyoming

Date of Stay:

JacknPeg's review was accurate. This is a little strange because the navigator (yours truly) screwed up the plan, and we got there at about noon. Way to early for EOD. So, we looked around and let the dog have her "grass stop". DW did use the bathroom. The big problem that I saw was that the instruction board d is not in your face as you arrive. So, we had lunch and left. I only saw two picnic tables, maybe the others are under the shelter. Kind of too bad we did want to end the day then.

     

Falling Rock

Brazil, Indiana

Date of Stay:

The park was not easy to get to, but it was worth it. Admittedly we were there mid-week, but it was obviously a clean and quiet place. We very seldom pay for a campground because most are crowded and noisy. We needed a place to hang for the night after a bad couple of days. This was just the bill. One small issue was the cut down bush that was hard to see in the dark, but that was a minor problem.

     

Galveston Island State Park

Galveston, Texas

Date of Stay:

This is NOT an RV Resort, if you want one, don't stop here. If you want quiet and flat with electric enough to run the A/C, and lot of natural beauty, then this is it. It is far enough away from the bustle of the Galveston resort be be nice, but still close enough by that you can get there. The rate is a little bit of an issue as there are two rates and neither includes the 5$/person day use fee. We stayed two nights, one on the bay side (20$) and one on the gulf side (25$). Sites 66 and 33 (yeah, really). On the bay side, there is a table and a fire/grill, the gulf side also includes a patio with shelter, seems more for rain than sun.

     

Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park

Mandan, North Dakota

Date of Stay:

We were there on a week night in late September. It was quiet and lovely. Very pretty setting. Very open sites. Nice playground. I had solid Verizon 4G. If you have an old map, the north entrance has closed, enter from the south. The posted rate does not include a vehicle entrance fee.

     

Fishing Bridge Campground (NPS Campground)

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Date of Stay:

Beware, if you have a low RV, you may not be able to use the sewer connections. They are all 12~15" above the pavement level. We could not use ours. The posted rates do not mention the taxes. Like most everything else in the park that manages money, it is run by Xanterra. They were very accommodating as we arrived a day before we had planned and also left a day earlier. Yes, the sites tight and all but a few are back in. Some TT people had a difficult time but that may have been as much an owner issue. Yes, the pavement of the Fishing Bridge (no fishing allowed there) is the worst pavement in the park. If you don't have a toad, be aware that many of the scenic drives restrict "large vehicles". While I had useable Verizon phone coverage, data coverage was between weak to non-existent.

     

Washington Park

Sheridan, Wyoming

Date of Stay:

This is a city park just on Coffeen south of Heald. Signs are not obvious. It is quiet and flat and free. There is a dump and lots of recycle bins. Potable water is available for 25 cents. There is a free dump. Verizon coverage was big 4G. If you don't do that, there were lots of access points that you might able to take advantage of, but I did not try.

     

Allegheny River Campground

Roulette, Pennsylvania

Date of Stay:

This is a family owned and operated campground and it is clear that they are proud of it. It is a beautiful setting. All of it was clean and well maintained. They try to run fun activities for children every weekend. It is not a 10 only because the pull-through sites are short of shade (trees are planted - so give it a few years) and those pull-though sites only have 30 amp service. Their online site will tell you that long before you get there. Bicycles and kids all over, but never enough to be annoying. The fact that many sites have seasonal clients should tell you something. If we are ever looking for a stop in this area, we would choose this one. We stayed there as a part of a small rally. We paid for and got some extra service that was excellent, but that is not included in this evaluation.

     

Tombigbee State Park

Tupelo, Mississippi

Date of Stay:

A ways off the beaten path, but a good stop. It is a real nature type park, not a parking lot. You are in the woods. Lots of hot water in the shower, but no dry place to stand. If over 65, you get the cheaper rate.

     

Lake Conroe / Houston North KOA

Montgomery, Texas

Date of Stay:

We were there as part of a 100 coach rally. The park is pleasant enough, but I have two cautions. First, if you have a low black dump, be sure that they know so they don't give you a site that the dump is a foot above the pad. Second, if you are counting on a peaceful time in the indoor pool, be aware that there is no time restricted to adults only. It seemed to get quieter after 9 PM, but we live on EST so that was real late. The park is huge, and so we used our bicycles a lot. Unfortunately, one of ours was damaged when the lock was stolen from it. The lock was probably not locked on. We didn't used to use the locks in private campgrounds. It got removed and the shifter was broken off. The park people apologized.

     

Meadowbrook RV Park

Muskogee, Oklahoma

Date of Stay:

It is exactly as represented. It is a FHU parking space with more than the usual amount of grass. Nothing more, nothing less, but at $20 (the price written on the door) it is more than you might expect. The owner is friendly and yes, the receipt is local map. It is quiet and level and everything works. It is right on the main drag, I will stop here again if we come this way.
