Sleepy Sunflower RV Park (formerly Open Corral Campground), Ogallala, Nebraska
Date of Stay:
September, 2016 -
$18.00
Overall Rating:
Nice park with basic amenities. Level, gravel pull-thru sites, large enough that it wasn't necessary to detach the tow-car. Close enough to the interstate that road noise can be heard if you are outdoors, but not a problem when I doors. Management very friendly and helpful with attraction information, etc. We camped at Sleepy Sunflower RV Park (formerly Open Corral Campground) in a Motorhome.
Lake McConaughy is not far, if fishing is of interest. There is a petrified museum in town, although we were there on a Sunday and it was closed. Ogallala also has a soap-box derby race track!

Overall Rating:
Our stay was only for overnight. The manager was very friendly. The park was well maintained with many pull-thru sites, and also park model-type cabins available. We would stay here on any return trip thru the area. We camped at Texarkana RV Park & Event Center in a Motorhome.

Osprey Point RV Resort, Lakeside, Oregon
Date of Stay:
July, 2016 -
$21.00
Overall Rating:
An aging rv park, but with amenities that meet our needs for coastal activities. Spaces are pull-thru and fairly spacious. There is a lake on the end of the property for personal boating. Some boats are available to rent, but the boats and the docks have a somewhat dubious appearance. We camped at Osprey Point RV Resort in a Motorhome.

Windy Cove, Campground A, Winchester Bay, Oregon
Date of Stay:
July, 2016 -
$27.00
Overall Rating:
We have stayed in this park many times.
It is a good park for the camper that has many outdoor activities planned. Spaces are very roomy. We
camped at Windy Cove, Campground A in a Motorhome.
Close to the Oregon Sand Dunes, so riding the ATV's is nearby. Many opportunities for fishing, beachcombing, hiking and enjoying the great outdoors. The Umpqua River Lighthouse has conducted (pay) tours, as well as a small, no-charge museum and gift shop. Winchester Bay is a typical fishing town, and for more shopping, the town of Reedsport is about 5 miles away. A little further takes you to Coos Bay, with more coastal offerings, as well as a casino and a local theater group.

Cascade Meadows RV Resort, La Pine, Oregon
Date of Stay:
July, 2016 -
$9.00
Overall Rating:
Large pull-thru sites. Nice pool available. Several planned activities, should you wish to participate. Restaurant on site. Downside is that the sites are all on grass. A nice place to center from for several side trips. We camped at Cascade Meadows RV Resort in a Motorhome.
Several lakes nearby for fishing, close to the High Desert Museum, the Lava River Cave, Bend and LaPine for shopping.

Valley of the Rogue State Park, Gold Hill, Oregon
Date of Stay:
July, 2016 -
$28.00
Overall Rating:
A beautiful park near the banks of the Rogue River. Spacious sites, with many pull-thrus. Nice walking paths, and some access to parts of the river. We camped at Valley of the Rogue State Park in a Motorhome.
Several activities planned in the park itself. Besides river activities, the city of Grants Pass is close by. Several things to do in the city, including catching a ride on the jetboats down the Rogue River to Hellgate Canyon. Other sidetrip areas close by include Gold Hill, Medford and Ashland (home of the Shakespeare Theatre).

Jantzen Beach RV Park, Portland, Oregon
Date of Stay:
July, 2016 -
$35.00
Overall Rating:
Large park with paved, level sites. Fairly roomy, considering how many spaces are located in this urban campground. Playground area and three swimming pools (wading depth for the kids), with an observer on hand most of the time. Camp staff very friendly and helpful. Drawback is the close proximity to both Interstate 5 at the interstate bridge, and the main feeder road from I-5 to the campground. We camped at Jantzen Beach RV Park in a Motorhome.
Portland, Oregon has something for everyone. We took the grandkids to Oaks Amusement Park, somewhat south of the city (the campground is on the north end), and ran into difficulty with all of the roadwork being done. Just be prepared to take a little longer in getting to your destination. Other great finds for the kids include the Portland Zoo, OMSI and the Portland Children's Museum.

Mazama Village (NPS Campground), Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
Date of Stay:
July, 2016 -
$19.00
Overall Rating:
Several sites in the campground, many of them "pull-through" and spacious in square area, but like many national parks, the sites were installed before the advent of bigger rv's. Spaces, for the most part, appeared to be level. Site #28 is the ONLY site with 50amp electric, but overlooked by most because getting into the site (a pull-through, no less) is difficult. The driver of our rig has had a lot of "big-rig" experience in getting into, or out of, tight spaces. The problem could be solved with the removal of a couple trees, one which is dead, but dealing with the National Forest Service puts a different look on that sound idea! Seeing the lake is worth it! We camped at Mazama Village (NPS Campground) in a Motorhome.
Crater Lake National Park. What more is there to be said!? Lots of hiking, small wild life and photo ops, in addition to a guided tour boat to Wizard Island.

Clyde Holliday State Recreation Site, Mt Vernon, Oregon
Date of Stay:
June, 2016 -
$24.00
Overall Rating:
Nice park on the John Day River. Paved sites with attractive landscaping that lent a private and spacious air to the site. Walking trail, and small pond with fishing pier nearby. Camp host(s) were very friendly and helpful. We camped at Clyde Holliday State Recreation Site in a Motorhome.
The road between Vale and John Day is a pretty drive, and this campground was a pretty place to stop for the night. There are not a lot of spaces to rent, but dry camping was allowed in the parking space of the"rest area" to the east of the park for a nominal fee, which also allowed those travelers to use the shower facilities, etc. Sites felt spacious due to creative landscaping between them.

Heyburn Riverside RV Park, Heyburn, Idaho
Date of Stay:
June, 2016 -
$21.00
Overall Rating:
Easy access and relatively far enough from the highway to be fairly quiet. Spacious sites, several back-in, pull through and pull-in. Walking trail along the river close by with lovely landscaped arboretum, as well as tourist information site next to campground. Camp host very helpful and graciously friendly. We camped at Heyburn Riverside RV Park in a Motorhome.
Heyburn is a very small town, but close to outdoor activities, especially if you are a rock climber. The Nat'l. Park Reserve, "City of Rocks", is close by. With a very complete tourist center next door, one can get a lot of detailed information. Our stay was only for overnight.

Wasatch View Estates and RV Park, Ogden, Utah
Date of Stay:
June, 2016 -
$20.00
Overall Rating:
Easy on, easy off I-84. This is an older park, probably a mobile home park originally, but working to improve itself to attract the transient RV-er. An inordinate amount of speed bumps assure the guest of keeping th 10mph posted limit. Hooking up to the electricity was a bit awkward, as the plug-in connection was virtually at ground level. Sites are concrete slabs/paver aligned to the tires, with gravel and grass the rest of the way around. Technically, the site was a back-in, but if no rig was parked behind the space, it could driven into as a pull-through. The office tried to make that possibility available as much as possible. WiFi is available, but limited to an area close to the office. (We were not). The office personnel are friendly and very helpful, and the clubhouse area is a very clean and a pleasant environment. We camped at Wasatch View Estates and RV Park in a Motorhome.
Plenty to do in the greater Salt Lake City area, necessitating many return trips! Hill Aerospace Museum, located on Hill Air Force base was great, and volunteers are available to enhance the tour with so much knowledge to share. A walking path on the Weber River gives one a chance to exercise and see some of the local area close-up. The entire area of "old town" Ogden is worth the visit, especially Union Station and the Browning (Gun) museum, located at the Station.

Butch Cassidy RV Park and Campground, Salina, Utah
Date of Stay:
June, 2016 -
$10.00
Overall Rating:
A pleasant park and great place to launch from for visiting some of the National Parks. Sites are gravel, and although we were not there at a busy time, it could get close as rigs are parked head to toe in order to share the electric and water hookups. Management will keep rigs separated as mch as possible. Sewers were placed well enough to allow standard length of hose, but we saw a couple rigs that needed extensions for the electric. There is a pool, but a bit neglected in care, so appeared to only be used by kids. We camped at Butch Cassidy RV Park and Campground in a Motorhome.
Capital Reef Nat'l. Park is to the east, Bryce and Zion Nat'l. Parks to the south. Essential needs shopping is in both Salina and Richfield, 9 miles south. Fish lake and surrounding areas give the hiker or ATVer plenty of ground for exploration.

Camp Lutherwood, Long Valley Junction, Utah
Date of Stay:
June, 2016 -
$15.00
Overall Rating:
This campground is set back two miles from Hwy. 89, reached by traveling NO MORE than 15 mph (about 10 minutes) on a gravel road. Set as a church camp, it is open to the public if space is available. Camp hosts are very friendly and helpful. Wifi is available, and a donation to further its ability is accepted, but use of it is severely limited to standing virtually next to the router for a signal. Sites are spacious with full hookup, located on gravel over grass. Because the trip into the grounds can raise a lot of dust on your vehicle, there is no objection to washing the rig. A"community" fire ring is on the grounds. We camped at Camp Lutherwood in a Motorhome.
Several day trips will take you to the nearby National Parks (Zion, Bryce, Cedar Breaks, Capital Reef) as well as opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, hiking, etc.

Quality Inn & RV Park, Tuba City, Arizona
Date of Stay:
June, 2016 -
$27.00
Overall Rating:
This is a small RV park behind the motel. The staff at registration were most friendly and helpful. To hook up to water a "key" is required, obtained by giving a refundable deposit. We camped at Quality Inn & RV Park in a Motorhome.
This was only an overnight stop, but a Navaho museum is next to the motel, as well as a nice-enough looking restaurant (although we did not partake). Tuba City is located on the reservation and a prominent city of the Navaho Nation government.

Pueblo El Mirage RV Resort (55+ park), El Mirage, Arizona
Date of Stay:
June, 2016 -
$25.00
Overall Rating:
A beautiful RV and residential resort on its own 18-hole golf course. Very first-class in service and overall presentation. A very active location during the "Snowbird" season. A bit barren and forlorn during our stay. We camped at Pueblo El Mirage RV Resort (55+ park) in a Motorhome.
El Mirage is a suburb of Phoenix, and after taking into account all the golfing choices, this city has too much to offer to list here. Perhaps the only "downside" would have been the weather, but as they all say, "It's a dry heat"!
