One of my favorite parks in the country. Large paved sites surrounded by grass and mature trees. In season, lots of wild blackberries to pick. Very good electric power--it didn't sag much under load. There is a well maintained trail along the river. Excellent Verizon EVDO signal. Note: Wi-Fi is not available in the campground, only in the adjacent rest area. We stop at this park whenever traveling down I-5 in southern Oregon.

This is much nicer than most fairground RV parks. It is more like a campground, surrounded by aromatic tall pines. The full hookup sites are in a large open area, so they have no shade in the summer. Large pull-through sites, with strong 50 amp power. We were parked about as far from the office as you can be, and their Wi-Fi signal was strong and fast, much better than the Verizon signal there. It had rained heavily for a few days before we arrived, and the sites were a bit muddy. There was no danger of sinking in, but it was messy. There is a pet rooster that roams the park. They even have a metal "Protected By Rooster" sign. That's cute until the sun comes up and it starts crowing under your bedroom window. There are really nice chainsaw sculptures scattered around the park. It's an easy walk to the Fairgrounds buildings.

This Lane County park opened in February 2009. Large, level sites, all suitable for big rigs. Some pull throughs, some back-ins. Some shaded, some in full sun. There is a large well-maintained grass area in the middle. The campground is adjacent to the off-leash dog park. In fact, the only way into the campground is through the parking lot of the dog park. Excellent 50 amp power, although the pedestal at our first site was defective--one leg would sporadically drop to 88 volts. We changed sites. The trees are large, mature beauties. It is also adjacent to a huge day use area with trails, picnic tables, large open areas, rest rooms, etc., right on the river. Verizon voice service here is excellent, but data service is poor. They say they will have Wi-Fi here eventually. Only one restroom building in the campground, and it has no showers. There are additional restrooms in the adjacent day use area.

Huge pull-throughs, easy access to and inside park. Two large fenced dog exercise areas. Excellent free WiFi. Nicely stocked store. Far enough from freeway that there was little road noise. Very well maintained facilities. They fill up at night, but we arrived early afternoon and didn't need a reservation. We would definitely recommend this park for anyone passing through the area.

Easy access for any size rig. We had one of the very large pull-through spots. Satellite TV (Dish Network) was marginal because of trees and mountains, but it worked most of the time. Didn't try the Wi-Fi. We were there a couple days after Easter, and the laundry, rest rooms, and showers were not available yet. (Temps fell into the teens at night.) Cable TV was in the process of being replaced. They have a nice dog walking trail out in the sagebrush. Excellent Verizon voice and EVDO data signals. The town of Lee Vining is tiny but has a grocery store, gas station, and a couple restaurants (closed while we were there). At 6,700', winter stays late. The Mono Lake Visitor Center is in town at the edge of the lake. They still have the rule that pets cannot be left unattended in your RV while you are gone. We arrived at noon to beat some weather that was coming in, and they cheerfully let us check in and occupy a site. Very nice manager.

Another huge 55+ park. Streets are wide enough to navigate a big rig and get in to sites, although we had a little trouble getting out because of some sharp turns going that direction. Excellent quality 50 amp power. At our location, the park WiFi was reliable and fast. Excellent book exchange ("library"). Two laundromats; one requires you buy a card and put money on it. No refunds for any unused balance on the card. The other laundromat is coin operated. Several pools, including a large indoor pool. All the geezer recreational facilities and activities you would expect, including a full bar adjacent to the grill. The park is mostly park models, which are well maintained, as are the grounds. Nice exercise room with plenty of equipment, although they keep it at 73 degrees, which is pretty warm. One really nice touch is that each site is provided with a large, rolling City trash container, which you roll out to the street once a week for collection. We stayed one week using our Coast to Coast membership, then a second week using Passport America, so our daily rate was about half the $40 rack rate. We will definitely use this park on our next trip through Mesa.

Big campground on the lake with some trees. Easy access for any size rig. No hookups or dump station, although there are water faucets scattered around. Some noise from Highway 395, but quiet at night. Great mountain views. We were there the day after Easter, and it was almost empty. Good Verizon signal for voice and data.

This is a small parking lot dedicated to RV parking one block from the casino. They have a three day limit. There is no need to check in with the casino. The lot is clearly marked: "RV Parking" on the southeast corner of Spear and N. Valley. It's on a busy street, so there is road noise, but it's pretty quiet at night and the price is right. The $9.99 prime rib dinner at the casino coffee shop was excellent. There was a WiFi hot spot nearby, probably from the Nugget Inn across the street.

This is probably the nicest of the many 55+ megaparks in Mesa. Like the others, it is mostly park models, but it always has sites available for RVs. The roads are wider than most of the other parks, making it easier to park a big rig. There are four big laundries in the park, with inexpensive ($1.00/load) well maintained machines. It has swimming pools, tennis courts, many craft shops, the whole works. The staff and volunteers are very friendly, all seeming to enjoy their work. The pet sections tend to be around the perimeter, which means they are much more likely to get road noise. We could not connect to the park Wi-Fi from our site. Park 50-amp power was very strong, not sagging noticeably under load. We stayed for one week under the half price Passport America rate of $18/day.

Excellent 55+ park. We have stayed in several of the geezer parks in Mesa, and this is our first choice, after Valle del Oro. The sites are relatively easy to get in to for a big rig. 50 amp power did sag down to around 109 VAC under heavy load, but never got lower. We used the Passport America rate, which after taxes was $165 for a week, including electricity. They have a very nice laundromat, and a large, alphabetized book exchange. For those who want activities, they have plenty during the winter, but not much after April 1. Very nice swimming pool, excellent exercise room, extremely pleasant and helpful staff. I was able to get a moderately strong WiFi signal from the perimeter of the park (the pet area), but never successfully connected to the Internet using it. Our Verizon data card had a very strong signal, so I didn't care. The park is mostly park models, and they are very well maintained, as are the grounds. There is always a maintenance worker driving around picking up anything that falls on the ground. They will let you use Passport America one week/month.

GPS coordinates: 22.61416N, 105.79285W. The park is five or six miles north of town. The single lane one mile dirt road to the park is the only challenging access problem. You need to look ahead and possibly pull over if someone is coming the opposite direction. Once in the park, there is plenty of room for any size rig. Eight sites at the back are pull-throughs; the rest are back-ins. Note that even the beach-front sites are back-ins, so if you have a motor home you will not be facing the ocean when parked in one of those sites. Each site has a cement pad large enough for both an RV and a patio area. No shade. Everything in the park is well maintained. A large swimming pool, plus a wading pool at the large palapa. Wi-Fi reaches most of the park, but the satellite connection is often overloaded, apparently. OK for downloading email but not web surfing. The laundry consists of one washer and one drier, 30 pesos each. Typical Mexican low water pressure. Excellent 15 amp power (125-136 VAC). Many sites (ours, for example) have billions of cockleburs and lots of little red ants. Empty, sandy beach with good surf. Very pleasant staff, but they speak no English. Pointing and gesturing works just fine, though. We selected this park over the only other park in town that had utilities (adjacent to Villas Coral) because 1) the sites were big enough for our 40' rig, 2) Villas Onac has Wi-Fi, and 3) it is on the ocean. The Villas Coral park, adjacent to town, is on the bay so there is no surf there.

23.80539N, 106.88066W This facility is really aimed at renting their villas, but they have eight RV sites. It opened in February 2009, and they were still building villas and had not yet built the swimming pool when we were there. Easy access for any size rig, but some sites are quite unlevel and two or three of the sites not big enough for a big rig. Very nicely landscaped grounds. No landscaping around the RV sits, which are decomposed granite, though. The sewer connections were uphill for any RV with a low dump valve like ours. High voltage; it was 136 VAC in the morning, falling to only around 120 under heavy loads in the afternoon. Very attractive palapa with restaurant and bar. Excellent beach--clean sand and nice surf. Shower and bathroom (one each) were spotless. They even provide a towel and robe in the shower. Internet access consisted of a cellular dongle that the owner loans to customers. Two of us that tried it (one with XP one with Vista) couldn't get it to work.

Fairly easy access on about a mile of gravel road from the KM 75 marker on the southbound toll road. Wide diagonal back-in sites, 45' deep. The rate I cited is the monthly rate, divided by 30, excluding electricity. They are the only park of the four in the Celestino area that charges for power, and they charge four pesos/KWH (around 30 cents US). We used about 11 KWH/day (over three dollars), but the park average was six KWH/day. Park Wi-Fi is available only at the covered casino at the entrance to the park. Hookups are near the rear of most sites, requiring at least 25' of sewer hose for most rigs. In the two months we were there, we saw quite a few rigs come in without enough sewer hose to reach. There are bushes and trees between sites--some mature, some not. Power was fairly reliable, but voltage was often above 132 VAC, enough for our EMS to shut of power to our rig. I never saw it drop below 113 VAC. Sites closest to beach have 30 amp connections on 15 amp breakers. Most other sites are 30 amp, with a few 50 amp. Small laundry (two washers, one drier), but the sign up sheet system means you never have to wait for a machine. Washers were only 10 pesos (about 70 cents US) and the drier 20 pesos, by far the cheapest we have ever seen in Mexico, and very inexpensive anywhere. Shower/bathrooms were large and spotless. Water pressure at the sites was typical 15 PSI low Mexican pressure, but the showers had excellent pressure. The beach was sandy when we arrived, but became quite rocky after a few weeks from a strong current washing away the sand. Still good for playing in the waves, lying on the sandy part above the high tide line, etc. A truck comes every day delivering five gallon bottles of purified water for six pesos (45 cents US), but the camp water tasted fine. A vegetable truck comes twice a week. There are several small tiendas in Celestino, two miles of gravel road to the north, where you can get a few things, but there is a large supermarket in La Cruz, another 10 miles up the main highway. The park had the friendliest residents we have ever encountered in an RV park anywhere. Mostly Canadians; maybe that's why. :>) It is about a 45 minute 70 MPH drive to Mazatlan on the toll road (98 pesos), or about a half hour longer on the free road. Mazatlan has a Sam's Club, huge supermarkets (especially the Mega, with covered parking), and a large used (English) book store.

Access and sites are very tight for big rigs. Lots of mature coconut palms and bamboo between and around sites. Clean bathroom/showers. No laundry. Beautiful beach at the end of the park, with a shaded area for those who don't want to sit in the sun. Typical Mexican RV park utilities: Some sites had low water pressure, some didn't. 30 amp power would sag under load and exceed 132 VAC occasionally when not under load. Most residents stay for months at a time, and they are all very friendly. The location makes it easy to take a bus or taxi anywhere in town. There can be quite a bit of late night noise from the federal recreational facility on the south side, and people on the north side can have a great deal of noise from the kids playing in the residential area next door. Our friends' site had a trampoline six feet from their bedroom windows. Excellent fee-based WiFi at 385 pesos/month or 200 pesos/week.

Very nice for a Mexican park. I saw only back-in sites, and we had to park on the "wrong" side of the sewer connection to get our big rig in. The water and electric hookups are on the "wrong" side of each site, which means you need long water lines and electric cables as well. Excellent free WiFi. Across the street from the beach. Clean laundromat with 13 washers and seven dryers. Each machine takes six US quarters. Our site and our neighbor's site had very high voltage (138-140 VAC) until the evening, when everybody was using power. We stayed only one night because we were on our way south, but we wouldn't mind spending a month there.

Long pull-throughs, but tight corners. Hookups were 15-amp connectors on 30-amp breakers. Typical low Mexican water pressure and high voltage. A fine place for an overnight or to leave your rig while you take the Copper Canyon railroad tour. Easy to miss when entering town. As soon as possible, get on the "lateral" roadway on the right, paralleling the main road in to town off the highway. The entrance to the park is very soon after getting on the lateral. A pretty good park for Mexico.

A Dirt parking lot with hookups. We were there Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, and there were literally hundreds of rigs coming through to dump on their way home. They used all unused pull-through spaces for dumping, creating a muddy mess in most of the park. Staff said that happens only that one day each year. WiFi was $3/day. We stopped there only because we wanted to watch the space shuttle land that afternoon (which we did).

"Rio Viento" means "Wind River", and there is a reason that this park is a favorite for windsurfers and kitesurfers. There is a huge power-generating windmill adjacent to the park. The park is below the levee, which provides some wind shelter, but it blew continuously during our two-day stay. The park looks new, even though it is five years old. Sites are huge, level back-ins, made of brick, with wide interior roads. Excellent quality 20/30/50 amp power. I didn't find a laundry in the park, and the nearest one is almost certainly miles away on the other side of the $4 toll bridge to Antioch. The bathrooms were modern, immaculate, tasteful individual suites, with showers. The road to the park is a mile or two of fairly narrow levee road, but any size rig can negotiate it. We got the "introductory rate" of $30. I assume that's because it was our first stay here (their posted rate is $40/day). We really enjoyed watching the windsurfers right across the road from the park and the kitesurfers about a mile down the road. Although the address is Rio Vista, it's really closer to Antioch.

Good-sized pull-through sites. No freeway noise. The site was plenty long, although there was only about 10 feet separating us from our (very nice) neighbors on either side. Our site was gravel; others were asphalt. It was about 20' to the sewer connection on our rig, and I saw quite a few others with long sewer hoses. The 50 amp power never sagged under load. Pleasant staff. Excellent paved interior roads, wide enough for any size rig to navigate. Large, mature trees throughout the park. We were lucky enough to have a shady site, although that meant we had to get out the tripod-mounted satellite dish. The WiFi at our location was sporadic. Immaculate, well maintained bathroom/shower house. Clean laundromat with new machines. Quite a bargain for the Eugene area. There is an off-leash dog park at Armitage Park about two miles south on Coburg Road, and 2.5 miles farther to Costco.

Like every other marina RV park we have visited, this is essentially a parking lot with hookups. The sites, however, are very large, there are mature trees in the park, and the location is great--right on Coos Bay. Easy access for any rig. One of our neighbors had his 40' motor home, large cabin cruiser, and a pickup on his site, with plenty of room for awnings and the picnic table. There were smaller sites available for two and three dollars less. Good quality 50 amp power. No WiFi, but Verizon finally has EVDO service in Charleston. We plan to come back several times this summer.

Very attractive park with good gravel interior roads. We saved a few bucks and took a water and electric (50 amp) only back-in site. I was planning to use the dump station in the morning on the way out, but I couldn't see how we could make the turn after dumping, so we just skipped it. Down by the river there is a huge tenting and cabin area, probably five acres of well maintained grass. Excellent free Wi-Fi. Great view of Devils Tower from the park. We had planned to use the National Park campground in the at Devils Tower, but there was no way to fit a 40' rig in the curved pull-through spaces there, so we just drove on through.

Very nice park, with both back-in and pull-through sites. To accommodate our rooftop TV satellite dish, they gave us a pull-through, but there was no way a 40' rig could make the turn into that site. I made another lap and backed into it. The park is wonderfully wooded and well maintained. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip through Missoula.

$11 for 30 amp site, $9 if you don't use the hookup. No water, no dump, but there is a dumpster for trash. A pleasant city park with long pull-through sites. Easy access for any size rig. The first 30 amp outlet I tried had reverse polarity. The second had an open ground. (Both of these were on the pedestal at Site 5.) The third one (at Site 4) was OK. The park also serves as a rest area, a picnic area, and a playground during the day. It was very quiet there at night. A nice find.

This is a small US Forest Service roadside campground in the Lewis and Clark National Forest on US 89 4.5 miles north of Neihart. Using a little care, we could get in with our 41' rig, and most of the six sites were long enough for the motorhome and the toad. There was virtually no traffic on Highway 89, so it was very quiet. All six spaces are back-ins. There is one sparkling clean vault toilet and a hand-pump well for water. No trash container in the campground, so you need to pack out what you bring in. No cell service in that area. A very pleasant little place.

Small park with all sites in a single loop. All but one are back-ins. Easy to negotiate with a big rig. Most sites are full hookup. Lots of pine trees; had to set up tripod-mounted dish to get satellite TV. Grounds were pleasant and well maintained. Free Wi-Fi was strong and very fast. Very nice manager. Good quality 30 amp power. Sparkling clean bathrooms and showers with well maintained modern fixtures. The requisite RV park train tracks were a couple hundred yards away. This was an excellent find, especially for the price.

Most of the 40 sites are taken by well-maintained seasonals or permanents. All transient sites are pull-throughs. Large sites with picnic table at each. Trees made maneuvering a little tight but not terribly so. Didn't hear any road noise. $5 deposit for a key to your hose bib. All hookups are at the rear of the site, so it took 20' of sewer line for our rig to reach. Good quality 50 amp power. Free WiFi but only in the motel lobby. No Verizon cell service. We were there on a Thursday and we got the last site at 4:30 PM. Better than most overnight spots at this price. Note: Although it is in Arizona, this location is on Navajo Nation Time, which does observe Daylight Saving Time.

A simple park on US-50. Wide paved interior roads. Nice big sites--gravel with grass and cement apron on passenger side. Most sites are back-ins that are easy to enter; there are a few pull-throughs. All of their sites are big enough for any rig. In lieu of cable TV they have about 10 TV stations that are broadcast on a UHF repeater. Small laundry--two washers and two driers. There were a dozen or so construction workers staying in the park long term. They were quiet, and their mostly old RVs were well maintained and their sites neat. Excellent water pressure and power, although not all sites are 50 amp. We stayed as Coast to Coast members, so our rate was $10. This is a nice place to stop on the road.

The roads in the park are good, and the interior roads in the campground were wide enough for big rigs. We had a 50 amp site, but most sites are 30 amp. The scenery is, of course, magnificent, with plenty of hiking trails for all levels of hikers. The campsites themselves were level and large enough for any rig, but you can see dozens of other sites from wherever you park. The weather in early April was wonderful, but it gets extremely hot in the summer. The central water and dump stations were roomy and well maintained. No showers in the park; you have to go to town for showers and laundry. Shuttle buses run all day throughout the park. What a great place for $18/night. Next year I'll be 62 and can stay there for $9/night on the federal "Senior Pass", formerly the "Golden Age" pass.

Large gravel sites. Side-by-side hookups. Excellent gravel interior roads. Two fenced dog areas. Supposedly had WiFi, but I couldn't see it. We were there in mid-April, and water was not yet turned on at the overnight sites. The only source of water was the weekly sites, if you could find one vacant to use their hose bib. All the weekly sites were occupied the night we were there, so no water for us. Close to the freeway, but the tank farm between the park and the freeway apparently blocked the road noise. It was a perfectly adequate overnight stop, if only there were a source to fill our water tank.

We stayed there in early April as Coast-to-Coast members. The park is in a canyon at around 5,700 feet. We had the entire RV park to ourselves, although there were a few guests in the condos at the other end of the resort. Sites are large and level, mostly gravel but some paved. Excellent interior roads. Water wasn't turned on yet because there was still a lot of snow on the ground and temps fell into the teens a couple nights, but we selected a site about 100' from an arctic hose bib. They offered to have Maintenance string a hose for us, but we had enough with us to fill the tank every few days. It appears that only the sites in the first loop have 50 amp hookups; the others were 30 amp. Nice little campground store, complete with a large video rental collection. The nearest grocery store is 12 miles away in Morgan. Highway 65 south of the park was still closed for the winter, which means it was over 60 miles to Salt Lake City. When 65 is open, it is less than 30 miles. Nice, clean, small laundromat open 24 hours. There was an exercise room with three pieces of good equipment and a game room with a pool table and video games. Expensive Wi-Fi (from $4/hour to $30/month) that we didn’t use. We had a National Access Verizon signal for data, although it required an external antenna to get decent throughput. The staff were all accommodating and pleasant. When it snowed on our last day there, we were not at all sorry that we might have to extend our stay.

All sites are back-ins. We were there at the tail end of their winter season (end of March), when they had only two of the four loops for RVs open. The park did not fill up, even on the weekend. Almost all the sites in the two open loops were 30 amp full hookups, although one full hookup site (Mallard-9) was 50 amps. The two loops that were closed had very few sewer sites, and many of those were double sites, so you would have another rig parked at either your right front or left rear corner. A few of those non-sewer sites had 50-amp power. Almost all the RV sites are very long. Interior roads are excellent, and all RV sites are large concrete pads. Our 30-amp site had low voltage whenever there was a load; our Autoformer was on much of the time. There are three tent loops that have terrific sites. There is a very nice gravel trail around most of the lake, although you cannot completely circumnavigate it. The tall pines did a great job of sheltering us from the wind on days where they were blowing 20-30 MPH. The restrooms were modern, immaculate, and large. Those with showers had their own toilet and sink. In the winter season, you can buy five nights (@$20/night) and get seven. At less than $15/night for full hookups in a pretty campground with large well-separated spaces, it doesn't get much better. They switched to their summer rate of $25 with no weekly discount on April 1.

We looked at all the parks in Quartzsite, and this was the nicest, in my opinion. Large sites, quiet neighbors, nice laundry. It's across the street from BLM land, where I could let the dog run. Excellent 50 amp power, even under a load. Pleasant office staff. Nothing fancy, just a well-maintained gravel park. It is a 55+ park with many seasonals. Every rig was well maintained, with no junk lying around. They have free WiFi in the clubhouse. The fee-based WiFi was not accessible from our site. Quartzsite has terrific Verizon EVDO data service, though. $21.94/night was the Escapees rate.

Nicely manicured desert park with easy access for any size rig. Friendly staff. Mostly seasonals, who were extremely sociable. Large back-in gravel sites. Excellent 50 amp power. Fee-based very slow WiFi. No Verizon signal in Ajo. Very small showers. Large book exchange. Laundry had only two washers and two driers. The town supermarket is across the street. We will stay there again next time through Ajo unless we are there when Desert Shadows is offering their Passport America rate.

This is a typical Arizona geezer park, although the sites are larger than most, including those of the sister park (Desert Paradise) next door. The $19.20 rate we paid was Passport America, which is not offered Jan-Mar. The regular rate is $33 plus tax per night. The WiFi was fee-based, so we didn't use it. They have a nice book exchange. The laundry is weird. You have to buy a $2 smart card, then load it in increments of at least $5 (more if using a credit card). Any leftover credit on the card is your tough luck. They have a nice pool, spa, billiard room, etc. Nice folks both at the desk and staying in the park.

This is the only park in old Kino. It is right on the beach. Rates are $18/night, $105/wk, and $318/month. Water pressure is very low, so we all either use our tanks or put an RV water pump between the hose bib and the RV. The place fills up during the season. Next year we are going to arrive in October and stake our claim. Staff are terrific. Shrimp is available in the park and from vendors who drive through. We didn't arrive early enough to get a pull-through, and it took some juggling to get our 40' Bulgemobile into a site. Many of the sites are taken by folks who just pay for the whole year ($1,900) and come down for the season. The old town of Kino is a real Mexican fishing village.

Beach front sites are around $30; interior sites are $20. This is a large parking lot-type park. The attraction is full 50 amp hookups right on the beach. Wi-Fi is very slow and $4/day. Sites are enormous, but the beach front sites have their hookups on the beach end of each site. That's great in a trailer, but in a motor home it's a very long reach to the connections. We always spend our time dry camping on the adjacent beach for $5/day then coming to The Reef once a week to pay $7 for a dump and fill. This park is about a 10 minute drive from town, but not nearly as congested as the parks in town.

This is a fine place to stop when heading south from Nogales or Sonoyta. The owners, Ana and Edgar, speak excellent English and are eager to help. No rest rooms or showers (Ana says that Edgar is too cheap to fix them when they broke years ago). One pull-through site. The others are large, informal back-ins. A few of them have sewer connections. 15 amp power only. Very low water pressure. Their "free Wi-Fi" is from a motel down the street that hasn't secured their access point, but the signal is very good when they have it turned on. The park is right on Highway 2, .6 miles from the intersection with Highway 15. It is easy to get into and out of the park from the highway.

We enjoyed the campground the evening we arrived. There were spaces available even on Thanksgiving weekend at this lakeside county park. When we woke up in the morning, though, the wind had shifted, and they were dumping dairy sludge on fields less than a mile away. The stench was unbearable, so we left immediately. Since this is the off season, sites were only $21. Plus $4 because we have a dog. Plus $5 because we have a toad. Ouch.

Nicely wooded park in the hills above the Russian River. Sites have water and 30 amp power only. We stayed under the $8 RPI rate. They now have WiFi in and around the lodge, but not at the sites. One of the maps they give you on check-in shows which sites can get roof-top satellite reception and which can get it with a tripod. You select your own site. The security staff offer suggestions for sections of the park that are navigable in a big rig. Each of the bath houses has a big new front-loading washer and a dryer outside. The park is heavily forested with oak trees, but there is plenty of sunshine. Most of the sites are pretty close to one another, but the other campers are all quiet and friendly. We will return there in the future.

A very well maintained open, grassy, park right on the river. Large, level sites, with ample room between them. The 30 amp power was pretty weak. At a 20 amp load, it drops to around 108-110 VAC. The owner said not to use any autoformers or electric heaters. When I asked about the 50 amp sites, he also said no washing machines because they don't want the load on their waste water system. They have five 50 amp sites, but he never put anybody in them in the week we were there. We were there on the $8 Coast to Coast rate. The park is also RPI and Passport America. They charge an extra $5/night for the river view sites. We passed on that and still had a great view of the river. Spotless laundry room with three washers and three dryers. Pleasant owner. Fee-based WiFi ($5.50/day, $12.50/week) that worked well, even though we were about as far as you can get from the access point. We would happily stay there again, but not when we think we might need air conditioning, because of the power situation. I don't know that A/C is ever needed in this location, since it is only a mile or so from the beach. Stock up on groceries before you arrive. The nearest supermarket is 20 miles away in Crescent City. The nearby store in town has no produce, etc. Another reviewer said they have a marina and boat launch area, but they don't.

We have stayed there several times over the last five years. The have made a couple changes in the last year. First, they have closed the rest rooms and showers. Porta-potties are all that is available. Second, they have re-striped and numbered the sites, so there are now only 18 sites, but they are all wide enough for the largest rigs. The other tenants are mostly working class transients. I have never seen the park host. Aside from the host, they do not allow anybody to stay there longer than 14 days. The hookups are at the rear of the sites, so it takes a lot of sewer hose to reach them if your dump valve in in the middle of the rig, like ours. It's a convenient, inexpensive place to overnight if you are in the Antioch area. The WiFi is excellent. Cash only.

Since it was after October 1, the rate had dropped to $15. We stayed in the open group camping area at the top of the hill. It was great for satellite reception but there was a strong storm one night and the wind really blew up there. The bathroom/showers in the group camping area were modern, spotless, large, and private. There is now a very strong Verizon Extended Network signal in the park.

This park is run by a church. The full hookup pull-throughs in front are pretty close together, but they are long, with a sewer connection at both the middle and rear. Most of the park looks like a real campground with huge trees, but most of the sites back there have no hookups. According to the park map, there are 31 full hookup sites, 12 water/electric sites, and 46 dry sites, if I counted correctly. The free WiFi is fast, with a strong signal, at least at the pull-through sites in front. We heard very little road noise. I heartily recommend this park, especially at the $12.50 Passport America rate for full hookup sites.

This is a great campground. One loop has 35 or 40 full-hookup (30 amp) sites. None of the other sites have any hookups. The full-hookup loop is a five minute walk from a huge beautiful beach. Only a few sites in this loop are big enough for big rigs, and two of them are handicap sites. Sites 148, 151, and 154 are pull-throughs that will handle big rigs AND give a clear shot at satellites. The other loops would be a real challenge for big rigs to even navigate the roads. Be sure to reserve a site during the summer. We had to leave when Friday (9/7) came because all the sites we could fit in were already reserved. There is a very nice IGA supermarket in Ocean Shores, about 2.5 miles down the road. From Ocean Shores, you can drive your car on several miles of beach.

This is an immaculately maintained newer park, far enough from I-5 and the trains to allow a good night's sleep. Free, fast WiFi. We had a hard time getting into the spot they assigned us because it was angled in the wrong direction from the street, but the sites are very large, level, cement slabs with about 10 feet of manicured lawn between each of them. We will be going back there on our way back through Redding in a couple weeks because it's about $10 cheaper than the competition and every bit as nice, as long as you don't want a lot of amenities.

A great find. The owner keeps this park open as a courtesy to her old customers, who go back 50 years. I doubt that she takes credit cards. Sites are in an open grass area, with shrubs and trees surrounding it on three sides. On the ocean side, it's a 10 minute walk to a huge empty beach, using a home-made foot bridge to cross the creek. About a dozen sites have full 30 amp hookups. The rest are water and electric only. There is a dump station. There are four well-maintained rigs occupied by folks who help out with maintenance, all of them very pleasant. They keep the place looking quite nice, with acres of mowed grass. It is very informal. The office, pool, and bathrooms are closed. The only noise we heard was the surf. There was one other customer the weekend we spent there. Because of the peace and quiet, we prefer this park to the State Park five miles down the road. It's also cheaper.

This is a very well maintained, very attractive, highly developed park. Mostly back-ins around the lake, with pull-throughs for big rigs in an outside loop. 8' high shrubs between paved sites with grass on each side. The sites weren't terrifically wide, but they were wide enough for all our slides and the basement doors. Sites were more than long enough to keep the toad in front of the rigs, and there was additional parking right there. Our site was level, but I saw a few that required motor homes to raise their front wheels off the ground. Hookups are at the very back of the sites, which can mean a long reach for sewer connections. Small (30' by 30') fenced off-leash dog area. There are beautiful hiking trails around the perimeter. We could hear the coyotes howling at night. Couldn't see the fee-based WiFi from our site, but had a good Verizon EVDO signal.

Nicely treed park with ample room for our 40' MH plus toad. There was some road noise. WiFi is $2CN for your entire stay (they give you the WEP key). They wouldn't sell me the service until I was satisfied that I had a strong enough signal at our site; pretty nice. It worked well at our site. Plenty of shade, but enough clear sky that I could get satellite TV once I put up the tripod. The staff were cordial and helpful. A very nice place to spend the night.

We stop at this park on every trip through Prince George on the way to Alaska and back. The picture on the park's web site actually shows you what the sites look like, which is extremely unusual. The pull-throughs are huge, and the back-ins are large enough, with plenty of room between sites. The owners are a pleasure to talk to and extremely helpful in finding local services. The WiFi is too expensive ($5.95CN/day), but it is blazingly fast. The park is open year around. Sparkling clean laundry and bathrooms. Good soft water. The grounds are landscaped and maintained constantly. My favorite part is the off-leash trails at the back of the park where dogs can run.

Pleasant campground. Mostly pull-through sites. Because of the pine beetle, they have had to take out about 50 trees in the last year, so it is satellite friendly. We paid $24.80CN for a site with 30 amp power and water.There are full-hookup sites. It is close enough to Highway 97 that there is significant road noise. Very friendly, helpful staff. This was our second stay there, and we will stay there again next time we want an overnight stop in Lac La Hache.

This park has a dozen long pull-throughs sites and the remainder are back-ins, about 35' long. Access is easy for any size rig. There isn't a lot of room between some of the sites, but others are roomier, with a picnic table. It is right on Highway 101, so there is road noise during the day. There is a speedway across the highway; we heard racing going on Saturday night. There is a large fenced off-leash area for dogs, as well as open fields near by and a very nice rural road for walks. The owners are extremely pleasant and helpful. The laundry consists of one washer and one dryer (both new looking) in the office. The park is midway between Port Angeles and Sequim, so every kind of shopping is within 5-8 miles. They had the most reliable WiFi we have ever experienced, and it was fast and free. 9/1-6/15, they take Passport America for up to two nights, including holidays. A great little park.

Very attractive park with large sites. Mostly full-hookup pull-throughs. We had a pull-through that was far larger than we needed for a 40' MH and toad. The store stocked everything including freshly made cabbage rolls, perogies, borscht, pies, etc. Free coffee all day. Free, fast WiFi that worked even at the farthest point in the park. Plenty of manicured lawn between sites and in the park open areas. It is adjacent to Highway 16, so sites near the highway probably get significant road noise. We were at the back of the park, and it was barely noticeable, depending on which way the wind was blowing. The park filled up both nights we were there. They give a 15% discount to Escapees. Flying J, Costco, Safeway, and other stores are nearby.

Fair gravel roads with level gravel pads. Sites are very large. Lots of well maintained grass. No cable TV or Internet access except for the modem jack in office. Instant telephone service available at some sites. Plenty of room for any size rig. Almost all sites are back-ins. All sites are $37.10CN (including tax), whether they have 30 or 50 amp power. All 50 amp sites were taken when we arrived. Very pleasant, cheerful staff. You must prepay for your entire stay when you make a reservation, but you can get a refund if you leave early as long as you check out by 11:00 AM. We left early because we didn't think it was worth the $37.10 for a 30 amp site with no Internet access. The next time we pass through Edmunton we will probably stay at the Devon Lions Campground even though the sites are much smaller because it is $5 cheaper for a 50 amp site, and has WiFi at the office.

This is a membership park. We were there on our RPI membership. We really enjoyed our stay. The pull-through sites in Phase I would be pretty close when this place is full because they are four-site units. In Phase II the pull-throughs are in side-by-side pairs, which is not bad. The back-ins are spacious. Their (free) WiFi is available only in the lodge. They have a well-maintained book exchange. Big redwood trees in Phase I and around the perimeter of Phase II. You select your own site after you arrive. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. If they had 50 amp power and free WiFi through the park, I would have given it a 10.

200+ sites, many of which are seasonals. All the seasonals are very well maintained. Roads are paved or excellent gravel. Sites are gravel, with manicured grass between them. Beautifully maintained park, but the sites are far too close together when they are full. Between family reunions and golf tournaments, it is full a lot. Very family-oriented park on the North Saskatchewan River. Big rig accessible. About 15 miles from the West Edmonton Mall (THE Mall). $32CN (including tax) for a 50 amp full-hookup pull-through. Other sites are cheaper. Free WiFi, but only at the office. Adjacent to a golf course. We would stay there again.

This regional park is about nine miles north of 16, about 11 miles from town. Almost every site seemed to be in use by a local who planted his trailer there for the season. We called the day before arriving, and the only site available was an electric-only 30 amp site in the field, across the road from the regular campground. This site cost $21CN, plus a $3CN daily park pass. There is a dump station. The regular sites have some combination of water, sewer, and 15/30/50 amp power. Most are small back-ins, accessed by narrow windy dirt interior roads. No big rig access for 90% of the sites. Aside from the 62 sits with some services, they have room for hundreds of RVs to dry camp on the grass, so you can always dry camp there in any size rig. There is a golf course and lake. Those must be the appeal. We will not return. Postal code: S0M 1M0

91 large, mostly level gravel sites with lots of trees between them. All but two sites are back-ins. Forty of the sites have 15/30 amp power. Power was weak; a 10-amp load dropped the voltage below 100 VAC. We had a lakeside site. There were children's playgrounds in each of the three loops. Central dump and water. Coin operated showers. Big rig accessible, especially in the Big Horn Loop. Free firewood. Very quiet. Several very gentle walking trails. A beautiful park that we were extremely glad to find. Non-electric sites are $20CN, electric are $26CN.

This is a membership park. We stayed as Coast to Coast members. The C2C book says that they are all full hookups, but C2C members were restricted to electric-only or water and electric sites while we were there. When I asked the "Welcome Center" about that, they told me to take it up with Coast to Coast. Sites are crammed together. This would be an OK destination if you want a place near the beach for your kids and dogs to meet other kids and dogs. If you want full hookups, big sites, quiet neighbors, and pleasant staff, look elsewhere.

A terrific park right off the highway about five miles north of Lytton. Almost all sites are back-ins, with a few small pull-out sites. Lots of pine trees. In Site 31 we had both shade and access to the Dish Network satellite. Most of the sites are large and level enough for the largest RVs. There are trails of varying degrees of challenge in the park. The dump station fee is not included in the $17CN camping fee. It costs $2 and requires either a Toonie or two Loonies. We had no Canadian coins left, so we had to skip dumping. Postal code: V0K 1Z0

Good overnight spot. Since the garden center next door took over some of the land, there are only 32 sites, all 30 amp full hookup, but they don't use the odd-numbered sites, so there are really only 16. Since the electric pedestals are designed to support both the even- and odd-numbered sites, I was able to use my Cheater Box and use two 30-amp circuits. I saw some electric-only sites, but they appear to be stored units. The restrooms, showers, and laundry were are very clean and well-maintained. On July 3, there were only about six of us using the "park," so you can probably get a site here any time. By the way, there is very strong Verizon EVDO service here.

Well maintained, quiet, small park just three blocks off Main Street (Highway 85). Charming older couple own and manage it. We had a large pull through that did not require unhooking the toad. They take reservations, but don't accept credit cards. Many of the sites have sheltered picnic tables. The "dog walk" area has small cactus hidden in it, so be careful. There is a pretty little park across the street as well. They warn you that the water pressure is 75 PSI, so bring a regulator or buy one from them. In 100 degree heat, the voltage on one leg fell to 108, but no further. This is an excellent park.

We used an electric/water only site for $16.80. Full hookup sites were $24.08. Almost all sites are large pull-throughs. Walking distance to the Cabela's store. There is a Wal-Mart Supercenter down the street and a Safeway in town. No WiFi. A very good place to overnight on the way through the panhandle of Nebraska. If it had been cool enough to leave our windows open at night, the noise from the Interstate would have been irritating, though.

Huge open, grassy pull-through sites with a paved access road. It is right on Highway 2. There is an Albertson's 3-4 miles up the road in town and a couple places to buy diesel even closer. Excellent 50 amp power and good WiFi. We didn't have any mosquito problem but it was a dry 104 degrees during our stay, so they probably all died from the heat. No bathrooms or showers. At $20 for 50 amp full hookup sites, it is a great overnight stop.

Very nice park with both pull-throughs and back-ins. Free WiFi, but it is accessible only at sites in the vicinity of the office. High quality 50 amp power. Both shaded and open sites are available. Clean, new laundry shares space with the location of the free toast, bagels, and coffee in the morning. Very pleasant staff and beautifully maintained grounds. It appears that they are remodeling the buildings. We will definitely make this our stopping place in Regina. $17.24 CN was the Passport America rate for a full hookup 50 amp pull-through site.

Excellent overnight stop. Right off I-90, but there is a small hill between the park and the freeway, so we heard no traffic noise. The $16 Passport America rate for a 50-amp full-hookup pull-through site makes it a bargain. Gravel roads and large grass sites--easy maneuvering for big rigs. The power sagged to around 110 volts when we put a 30 amp load on a single leg. The park is well maintained and the family who owns the park runs a cheerful office.

They now have 34 30-amp back-in sites and 18 50-amp pull-thru sites for $10 and $12, respectively, all full hookups. Very quiet while we were there. We were the only rig in the campground, and they hadn't yet turned on the water (this was April 12). I called the campground host before we came, and he was still in Texas, but he was very helpful. Level gravel sites with grass between them. Mature trees. Nice old town.

Pleasant campground right on the Mississippi River. Our site (#36) was about 100 yards from the river bank, with a great view out our windshield. This early (April 10), water wasn't turned on yet. Easy back-in sites for big rigs. Sites were gravel, well-drained and level enough. Central dump station. Lots of trees, so satellite access might be a problem once they leaf out. Surprisingly, we had a good Verizon Broadband (EVDO) connection. Some site are reservable. A definite winner.

Another well-maintained COE park with big level sites. We could watch barges going through the lock from our site on the river. Many mature pine, cedar, and other trees. Water and 30-amp power at each site, central dump station. Excellent visitor center a mile up the road. The only down side is the International Paper plant adjacent to the campground, which produced a constant thrum of machinery noise. We would stay there again, though.

Good choice for Las Vegas. Reasonable rate, sites large enough for big rig and toad, electronic gate to get in. Mostly monthly rentals; the only downside to that is folks like the bozo next door who thinks he needs to warm up his diesel pickup for 15 minutes at 5:00 AM. From 8:00 AM to dusk there is a lot of noise from military aircraft flying low overhead. Terrific laundry open 24 hours. Free WiFi, but we couldn't connect to it. Seems to be mostly empty during the day. Two tiny "dog walk" enclosures. We would stay here again.

Sites are grass and gravel with a cement pad for the RV and picnic table. Well over half the spaces had unoccupied RVs on them. Almost all of those were well-maintained. They were big sites, although getting in to some of them with a 40-footer without driving on the grass was difficult. Park is well maintained. 214 sites; 101 have water/electric (30 amp) only. Most of those 101 sites with no sewer appeared to be seasonals. Two playgrounds for kids. Bathrooms and showers were clean and private. Clearly, March is the off-season. We were there during some heavy rains, and the grass parts of the sites were somewhat muddy. The staff appeared to be preparing the park for the busy season. It's across the road from a freeway and when the wind is right there is a lot of traffic noise, especially on the "Homestead" side of the park. We would happily stay there again, especially since the guy at the desk said we could use two 30-amp connections. With our cheater box, we could run both heat pumps as well as other appliances.

The vast majority of the sites are large, paved back-ins with 30 amp power (central water and sewer). There are a handful of 50 amp sites. Lots of mature trees, so satellite access can be a problem. We were there during a very wet time of year, so the ground was pretty soggy and muddy in places. The ranger picks up your trash from your site each day. Not all sites are suitable for big rigs, but plenty were. A very attractive park, at an excellent price. We would definitely return.

Quiet high desert (4,800') campground. Big sites, although most of the back-in sites would be too unlevel for a big rig. Several level pull-through sites. While most of the sites are reservable, none of the unoccupied reservable sites were reserved when we were there. Great weather in March. It's about eight miles of 50 mph road off I-40, but well worth the drive. $14 was for dry camping with 30 amp power. Central water and dump. After we saw the place, we decided to spend at least one extra night there.

This is a remote BLM campground that requires driving five miles of washboard gravel road to get to it, but the drive is worth it. The bright green rock mountains and other geological features are spectacular. For two of the three nights we stayed there (mid-week) there was nobody else there. Looking at the tags on the posts at each site, it appears the two or three sites are occupied each weekend. The two-mile scenic loop is as awesome as the Grand Canyon, in our opinion. There are well-maintained pit toilets, but every garbage can in the campground was full. We burned what trash we could and hauled the rest out with us. In early March, it was 70-75 during the day and 45-60 at night. Any size rig can fit. We will definitely go back there.

There are two sections to the Headquarters Campground. The full hookup section consists of 15 sites in a row on asphalt, with a tree between each site. There is a loop with 25 other sites. One of these is occupied by a park host. Three of the remaining 24 sites have water and 30 amp power. The other 21 sites have no hookups, although water faucets are distributed around the campground. Sites in this loop are all big enough for 40' rigs, and some get good afternoon shade from the mature trees. You park parallel with the loop road, adjacent to your ramada, mostly two or three sites in each pullout. Generator hours are very restrictive in this park: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. We like this campground as a place to spend a week watching the huge variety of birds here. If the wind is wrong, it can really stink, though, due to fish die-offs and natural organic processes in this man-made sea. There are other campgrounds in the Salton Sea State Recreation Area. Some are beachside undeveloped sites for $7/night.

Great park! We had a level 72' pull-through with mature oak trees around us, but plenty of clear sky for satellite TV. Free WiFi with a very strong signal at our site. Clean laundry with four washers and four dryers. Great views from up here, but there is some freeway noise. Grounds are immaculate and staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Convenient to I-10, but no freeway noise. We had a long, level pull-through. There are acres of mowed grass for walking the dog on three sides of the park. Free WiFi (that worked) at our site. Clean laundry with six washers and dryers. Very friendly and helpful staff. Reservations are strongly recommended. While in the office, I heard the clerk turn down two callers because she had no sites for their planned arrival dates. We got the only remaining 50 amp site when we arrived at 1:00 PM, and that site was reserved for the next night. Watch carefully for the road to the park. It isn't marked very conspicuously.

The $13 Passport America rate for full 50 amp hookups, coupled with the huge pull-through sites and free WiFi, make this a real bargain. All water in the park is reverse osmosis, so no water spots or salinity as we often find in desert locations. Large sparkling clean laundry. We were able to get WiFi reception in our rig, but only by using directional high power WiFi adapters. Once connected, it was fast. There are two other Passport America parks in town that are even cheaper ($7.50), but they don't have these amenities.

This is our favorite campground in the US. Very large gravel sites in the desert, surrounded by cactus of all sizes, with a cement picnic table, water, and 50 amp power. The hosts even rake the gravel clean between visitors. There are back-in and pull-through sites that will accomodate any size rig. The dump station is well maintained and easy to access. If the campground is full, you can dry camp in the parking lot for $10/day. On one of our many visits I saw it take two days for someone to get in, but usually there are open sites. The sunsets, sunrises, and howling coyotes are wonderful. There are many well marked hiking trails in the park. I saw a review that said it's a tough drive, but that must be a route we never take. Off Highway 60, drive about five miles up Ellsworth Rd., and you're there. No grades, no sharp turns.

This may be the best campground we have ever stayed in. We arrived on Thanksgiving Day and got the last RV site. It has water and 50 amp power, with the water right across the street. Free WiFI and cable TV in a campground! Plenty of room for big rigs like ours. Lots of easy trails to hike or bike. Very large level sites with trees between them for some privacy. No highway noise.

Unfortunately, there was flooding in the area when we were there, so the site selection was limited. All we could get was 30 amp electric and water. The sites, though, were large, reasonably level, and pleasantly treed. They were having a free Thanksgiving dinner the night we were there. Extremely gracious hosts. The Passport America rate made it even more attractive.

I know from personal discussions with members and comments made here that this park is highly rated (all most worshiped) but I'm less enthralled. It has a worn look; not enough monies going back into maintaining the infrastructure i.e. roads,sites,clubhouse,etc. The large number of park homes detracts from parks inherent treed campground ambiance. It's location is certainly very good. I was not impressed by the front desk person; rather solemn and certainly not one to lighten your day. Lack of wireless Internet was a negative as well. It's on my OK list if visiting area but not one to rave about and/or look forward to being there.

The $14.50 (+ tax) Passport America rate for full 50 amp sites made this a real bargain. The park is mostly cement, with grass between the sites and around the small lake. We had a level pull-through that must be 80 feet long. The grounds and facilities look new. They are perfectly maintained. Most of the sites are taken with long-term residents, but they are almost all newer, well-maintained motor homes and 5ers. It is only about 1.5 miles from I-12. A terrific overnight stop at this price. They don't allow Pit Bulls, Dobermans, or Rottweillers.

This is a Coast To Coast membership park, not open to the public. It is one of the nicest we have stayed in. Our site faced a huge "creek" with boat slips that dumps into Rehoboth Bay. Most of the park is taken with mobile homes and seasonals, but the separate camping section is quite nice. They have a DSL connection in the office.

This is a private campground, not open to the public, but it is available to Coast to Coast members (hence the $8/night rate). There are over 2,000 deeded lots, and 10 sites for C2C members. Sites are very large back-in sites, but only six of the sites have full hookups. There are hundreds of full-time and seasonal residents. It is heavily wooded, but the C2C sites all have clear shots at satellites. We were there in November, so I don't know what it's like when all the seasonal residents are there. While we were there, it was quiet and very pleasant. There is a "general store" on site that has basic groceries, somewhat more than you generally find in campground stores. There is no garbage collection facility in the campground, so everybody has to schlepp their garbage to a couple of huge containers outside the gate.

This NFS campground is one big loop with very large back-ins with 30 amp power. Central water and dump. Lots of trees to block satellite reception, but the branches are so high that you can see half the sites from almost any site. Close to town, but very little highway noise. Excellent trails through the marshland. There are warnings about mosquitoes, chiggers, ticks, and yellow flies in the summer, but November was perfect. Room for any size rig. Very well maintained.

The big draw to this park is the adjacent Cape Cod Canal. Most of the sites are seasonals. Each site had a gray water dry well, but you could only use it with a garden hose--no 3" hoses. Central dump station. Two many trees for satellite reception in almost all sites. It was a tight squeeze for big rigs, but folks managed to get their large trailers and fifth wheels in. The park was almost empty when we were there, and they are closing for the season next weekend (October 29).

Mostly seasonals in this very large, wooded, rambling park. Our site was a large pull-through. The park was almost deserted while we were there (late October). Great Fall colors. Pleasant owner/manager and other staff.

Nice park for big rigs. Paved roads, cement pad next to each site. Excellent 50 amp power. Lots of trees, so satellite reception is a problem. Excellent cable TV. Pretty pond with geese, ducks, and a couple black swans. Pricey, but so are other parks in this area. Supermarket, truck stop, and freeway are all about a mile away. (NJ diesel is a lot cheaper than Connecticut diesel.) There is an incredible Farm Market nearby with its own flower farm.

Nice wooded park across the road from the bay. With Passport America, it was $15US for full 30 amp hookups. $5CN extra for 50 amp. Large, clean laundromat. Very low water pressure and fluctuating electric voltage (110-134 VAC) at our site. Very pleasant owner. Free WiFi that reached most of the park. Beautiful coastal area, just a few miles from Peggy's Cove.

This is a large campground with pleasant grassy sites. Adjacent woods with trails for walking dogs. Our site was soft after recent rains, and we almost couldn't get out of it. We left deep ruts. The sewer connection was about 10' behind the motor home, so we ended up using the dump station on the way out. We would stay there again, but we would inspect the site before accepting it in wet weather.

Open, grassy campground on the Acadian coast. Very well maintained. Laundry consists of two washers and two dryers outside the bath house, but they worked just fine (and only $1 per load). Free WiFi that works. There are tent sites right above the beach, but the serviced sites are further back. All are less than a minute from the beach. Excellent park, very nice owner.

More of a campground than an RV park. Large sites surrounded by forest. Very pretty. Some low hanging branches added new pin stripes to our 40' rig. We would stay there again, especially since they are one of the few places still open in October.

Large sites with lots of grass between them. The only real shade is in the perimeter sites, which are mostly seasonals. Free WiFi, but accessible only in a portion of the park. Small laundromat. Close to the freeway, but far enough away to be fairly quiet. Expensive, but there aren't a lot of choices in the area.

$14.71 is the Passport America rate for 30 amp full hookups. This is a heavily wooded park, with a very nice walking trail. It rained while we were there, and our site partially flooded. The road to the park is over a mile of gravel with very soft shoulders in places. Very pleasant owner/manager. I would stay there again, but not in wet weather. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent campground (not an RV park). About half the sites are big pull-thrus in the trees. Verizon cellular access with an external antenna only. "Modem hookup" is a pay phone with a modem jack. Big open field in middle of campground is very pretty. We were there with another rig and had the place to ourselves (mid-September). The $16-22 campsite fee is in addition to the $10 day pass, so it's pricey. When you leave the campground, you must pass through either US or Canadian Customs--it straddles the border. Just about the nicest campground we have ever visited.

Even if we had paid full price instead of the $13. 13 Passport America rate, this would be a great park. The only down side is that most of the park is on a slope, so it was very difficult to level the rig. Several rigs had tires off the ground to get level. Beautiful facilities, $1/day WiFi that works all the way to the edge of the park, very friendly staff, big sites. Most are side by side, so you are close to the neighbor on one side, but you have probably 30 feet on the other. Large, well maintained, treed grounds, but no trees around 90% of the sites, so it is satellite friendly.

Large, developed RV park, with many permanent residents. At $38, I didn't expect to pay $7/day for WiFi. The big draw to this park is that it is only 18 miles from Montreal. Clean and very well maintained. One of the few 50 amp parks we have encountered in Canada. If you want to visit Montreal, this is a good choice.

This is our second stay here in the last two years. The free WiFi now works to all but the most distant sites. The sites are big and well kept. We are parked under huge cottonwood trees about 100 yards from the river. Great park, especially at the Passport America rates.

Adjacent to a rodeo. Dusty parking lot with almost all electric pedestals on the wrong side of the sites. Horse manure and dog droppings scattered around the sites. Uncommunicative teenager in the office. Low quality 30 amp power. I wouldn't stay here again at half the price.

Large pull-through sites with plenty of trees. 50 amp is $4 extra. WiFi in the immediate area of the office only. Very, very attractive park, with room for any size rig. Pleasant manager. Small laundry (2 washers and 2 dryers that cost $2.25 per load). Great trails through the woods, where an unleashed dog can go undetected. Would definitely stop there again.

Open, grassy park (satellite friendly). Right on the river. Power was not very good. My 30 amp pedestal was on a 15 amp breaker. Great mowed trail around the perimeter for running the dog. Restaurant on site. Many seasonal folks there, all friendly. A very nice place to stay.

This is a trailer park with a bunch of seasonal sites and maybe 30 grass transient sites in a different section. Site were large, with a couple of pull-throughs. It was raining hard the night we were there, but it didn't get muddy. Free WiFi but only in the vicinity of the office. An OK spot to spend the night.

This is a trailer park with a few overnight sites. Pleasant place, across the street from the lake. Getting to it involved driving down a long residential street, but it wasn't difficult to navigate with a big rig. Very poor power. Our 30 amp hookup dropped below 105 volts under a 12 amp load. Without an Autoformer, we could not have used anything but lights. The folks we were traveling with were in a site with the sewer connection about 25 feet from them. An OK place for an overnight stay, but call ahead. They have only three pull-through sites.

Note that the directories list this as Camping Le Passant; they changed owners recently. Lots of trees, but room for a big rig to navigate. Very pleasant new owners.

This time we stayed in their free dry camping area. (I put "$1" in the Nightly Rate box because this web page would not accept "$0".) It's on the bluff above the park. It is an open area with great views, much less highway noise than down below, and clear shots for our 32" Dish Network antenna and our traveling companion's DirecWay Internet dish. They even let you use the dump station and fresh water fill for free. We had to spend a week here, due to my friend's RV breakdown. We offered to pay to camp here because this dry camping area is intended for overnighters. They refused to take our money. What great people! We have stayed in the full hookup section of the park on previous visits and would recommend it or the treed water/electric sites further up the hill.

When in Fort Nelson, it's a toss-up between this gravel parking lot behind a gas station or the larger mud hole at the West End of town. Neither is someplace you would want to stay for a season, but both provide the basics. If I had to choose, I would stay at the West End Campground, only because they have a laundromat.

Great for a campground, but not for big rigs. There were only two sites we could fit in, and we got some new pin stripes on our sides from tree limbs getting to those. We had a 30 amp site. The voltage varied from 105 down into the 90s without our Autoformer. If your rig is smaller than 30 feet, it would be a very pleasant place to camp. It's about 20 miles from town.

This county park has 56 RV sites with water and 30 amp power, plus 35 tent sites. There are a couple of pull-through sites, but they are in the group camping area. We use the group camping area (available if no groups have reserved all the sites there) most of the time we stay at Bastendorff because they are on the top of the hill with no trees, so there is good satellite reception. These sites are huge. The other RV sites are big enough for any rig and are surrounded by trees, giving excellent privacy. The central dump station is convenient to use. There is lots of area for hiking in the woods. The beach is not within walking distance. There is a big playground for kids. There is no Verizon cell service in the campground, but there is just down the road (Extended Network area). This is our favorite park in the Coos Bay area.

Access roads and sites were big enough for our 40-footer and toad. There are about five pull-through sites with full hookups; the rest are back-ins. Not all sites have all utilities. Level gravel sites. Nicely maintained grass between sites, it appeared (ground was covered with snow). Mature trees. About 2.5 miles north of I-80, so there was no highway noise. We would happily use this park again either for an overnighter or if we wanted to stay in Iowa City. There is a Super-WalMart and other major shopping between the park and I-80. The dump station could be difficult to use with a big rig.

This is a large 55+ geezer park, which is now a Coast-to-Coast Good Neighbor park as well as Passport America (only a 25% discount Jan-Mar, though). The pet area is only two streets (Roads 100 and 200), but there are plenty of spaces there. We are on Road 200, which is far enough from University Ave. to be quiet. There is a $3/day dog fee. We found the staff helpful. They have a large lending library, plus the usual pool, hot tub, classrooms, events, etc. that you find in these huge parks. We would stay here again, primariy because it's $16/day for Coast-to-Coast members. It was a squeeze getting our 40' MH in, which is typical for these big parks that have been around a while.

The overnight spots are 30-amp, no cable TV, against the back wall. This is a 55+ park that is immaculate and friendly. The train noise was no worse than many RV parks and campgrounds we have stayed in. The staff and residents are extremely friendly and eager to be helpful. We would definitely stay here again, but only if we could get a 50-amp site if the weather was warmer.

This is a well-maintained modest park. The laundry room was clean and the 50 amp power was good. Yes, you can hear the trains go by, but isn't that how you know you're in an RV park?

We stayed at the RPI rate of $8, plus $2 for a water surcharge (they have to have water hauled in). While we were there, our neighbor had a serious accident while hooking up their tow dolly. He had to be helicoptered to the hospital. The park owners shut down the office and took the neighbor's wife to the hospital in their car. When they brought her back from the hospital, they got a friend to help them extract the toad from the dolly. What a great set of hosts! The park has big pull-through sites, excellent 50 amp power, and full hookups. The only Internet access is a phone jack in the office. They charge $2 to use it.

We have stayed there three times when in that area.
