Amana Colonies RV Park, Amana, Iowa

Date of Stay: September, 2018 - $37.00
Overall Rating:

If you have an RV with the dump fitting less that two feet off the ground, Watch out. We were part of a rally and I was assigned a site with a sewer cap about a foot over the gravel of the site. This problem meant that we could not shower in the coach with risking an overflow. The stand pipe was all glued fast so the only option was to completely unhook from the "FHU" and drive the coach to the dump facility. I don't own a macerator/pump and would not have any place to store it if I did. The thought of trying to share did occur to me, but I only carry six feet of sewer hose and have no way to carry the other eight feet and a coupler that I would have needed. If the standpipe had not been glued solid, the situation could have been remedied with little effort. Other than that, the facility has a lot to offer. They were a little crowded in the scheduling, but I can't blame them for that as it all did work out. If I should ever be there again, I will pitch a much bigger fit or refuse to stay in that situation. We camped at Amana Colonies RV Park in a Motorhome.

Fern Lake Campground, Paducah, Kentucky

Date of Stay: August, 2017 - $38.00
Overall Rating:

We were there as part of a rally for the Eclipse. By E-day, the place was packed, but there was still enough room for everybody. The property is very well managed and clean. Every A/C unit that was there was running, but there was only one blink and that was corrected fast. The WiFi was effective, and there are two separate systems. I can't tell you about TV. We were there for 4 quiet nights. Check the rates, they have a wide scale. If we go back to Padudcah, this would be a first choice. We camped at Fern Lake Campground in a Motorhome.

John Bryan State Park, Yellow Springs, Ohio

Date of Stay: August, 2017 - $20.00
Overall Rating:

If you are looking for a camp ground, here is one. I still think it is a little high priced at 20$, for a dry camp with pit toilets and no showers, but the setting is great. It was well kept, but there were cans in the fire ring. It was pretty convenient to the museum at Dayton. If you are approaching with an RV, force your GPS to make the approach from SR343 at Meredith and not from Grinnell. The very limited number of electric sites are usually not available as they are the first to go by reservation. We camped at John Bryan State Park in a Motorhome.

Adventureland Campground, Altoona, Iowa

Date of Stay: April, 2017 - $35.00
Overall Rating:

They are very short of signs, staff, and direction if you have to check in at the registration desk. Hopefully this will not be an issue more in season. We were charged the full boat, but most of the facilities were not yet available. The showers were specifically lacking in privacy, but there was hot water after a while. Most others there were work campers for the resort that had not yet opened. There may be discounts available if you get to check in with someone that knows how to work the camp ground side. My clerk did not know or if did, he left it off the invoice. We camped at Adventureland Campground in a Motorhome.

Heart Of Oklahoma Expo Center, Shawnee, Oklahoma

Date of Stay: March, 2017 - $25.00
Overall Rating:

This is an RV Park. Not an RV resort and not much like a campground. It is clean and a good value. Most of the slips are pull through. They are gravel and pretty level. We were here as a part of a type specific convention and it was great for that as it has terrific facilities for meets and meals and such. We camped at Heart Of Oklahoma Expo Center in a Motorhome.

River Ridge Resort, Stanwood, Michigan

Overall Rating:

We were there as part of a late season rally. There was still a lot to offer even with as much closed up as was. It is a very pretty setting and far from most of the hubbub. The only draw back is that the sewer connection is not with the other utilities and we had to disconnect to pull forward enough to dump. We camped at River Ridge Resort in a Motorhome.

FMCA Campground (FMCA members only), Cincinnati, Ohio

Date of Stay: May, 2016
Overall Rating:

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. We camped at FMCA Campground (FMCA members only) in a Motorhome.

West Overlook COE, Iowa City, Iowa

Date of Stay: October, 2015 - $20.00
Overall Rating:

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. We camped at West Overlook COE in a Motorhome.

Willow Creek State Recreation Area, Pierce, Nebraska

Overall Rating:

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. We camped at Willow Creek State Recreation Area in a Motorhome.

Randolph City Park, Randolph, Nebraska

Date of Stay: October, 2015 - $1.00
Overall Rating:

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. We camped at Randolph City Park in a Motorhome.

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: September, 2015 - $10.00
Overall Rating:

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. We camped at Pioneer Park in a Motorhome.

Fallen Rock RV Parke & Campground, Brazil, Indiana

Date of Stay: July, 2015 - $38.00
Overall Rating:

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. We camped at Fallen Rock RV Parke & Campground in a Motorhome.

Galveston Island State Park, Galveston, Texas

Date of Stay: July, 2015 - $25.00
Overall Rating:

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. We camped at Galveston Island State Park in a Motorhome.

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. We camped at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park in a Motorhome.
