Basically a grass/dirt parking lot with no trees and incredibly narrow sites. Our neighbor’s sewer connection was next to our picnic table. Pool but not much else to do. Great rates—we used passport America. Definitely fine for an overnight (close to the Interstate), but not a destination.

On the plus side: helpful staff, nicely shaded, relatively private sites, good value. However, many sites are not level and interior roads are dirt and pot-holed. Also the signage for the park entrance and interior signage are terrible. Good wifi on our Verizon card.

We stayed here in 2007 and were satisfied, but when we stayed in 2008, we found surly staff in the office, dirty sites, low water pressure, complaints from staff, no-so-clean restrooms. But they apparently have read the negative reviews and made changes. When we checked in this time, we learned that two of the three clerks were new and they were very helpful, worked hard to find us a site that we liked. However, there was still some of the "not my job" attitude. Site was clean and while there, we often saw staff cleaning up vacant sites. Water pressure has improved. Restrooms and showers at the indoor pool were renovated and spotless. Their rates are lower than other beachfront parks. Only complaints are the lack of wireless internet throughout the park (I got stronger signals from a nearby RV park) and the outrageous cost to rent golf carts ($40/day) almost double the daily site fee.

Very efficient, friendly and helpful welcome at the main gate. Great campground; we were lucky that we have a good Marine friend at Camp LeJeune and he sponsored us so we could camp here. Great and very helpful staff. Full hookups, shaded picnic tables, beautiful beach, and the friendliest people we have found in almost 3 years of fulltiming. No problems with noise from military aircraft. The campground is about 15 miles from the main gate, but the trip gave us a chance to see what our Marines are doing.

This campground was just OK. The good, shaded sites by the creek are taken by seasonals. The rest of the park has absolutely no shade. We asked for a site that faced east, but the campground map was incorrect and we wound up facing NW. When we arrived at our site, an employee showed up and told us that due to recent rains, we needed blocks under the levelers, or the jacks would sink into the ground. I'm glad she showed up and she did get the blocks for us. Expensive for what we got...and no cable.

Rate reflects senior citizen pass---a great bargain. Nice C of E campground: large, level, shaded sites, many with water views and trails to the water. Security gate locked at night. Good water and electric. There are no trails for hiking and birding, but this park is aimed at the swimmer/boater/fisherman. A little road noise from Hwy 58, but not so bad. Modern restrooms and showers were the best we have seen in 32 months of full-timing.

Rates were high for a state park without sewer. A very personable check-in lady told us to select ne of 5-6 pull-throughs. We drove past a few very unlevel sites, then tried out a site…could not level our 38’ motorhome. Eventually found a long pull-through where we could level. Excellent showers and rest rooms. Water was 200 yards away.

Love this campground: if only they had cable TV. They have cable TV only in the expensive luxury sites and plan to expand it to the rest of the park. Staff is fabulous: clerk spent a lot of time making sure we got a site we liked. The chief gardener is very creative and obviously loves his work. When they started taking down a tree next to our site, we called the office and in two minutes it was stopped. There is a lot of noise from Navy planes. Nearby are the Norfolk Navy base and the Oceana Naval Air Station. Big aircraft carriers dock at Norfolk Navy base for maintenance, the jets go to Oceana Naval Air Station and the pilots fly them almost every day to keep in practice. We were annoyed by the constant FedEx jets when we stayed just south of Memphis, but this is different. These are the guys protecting us and our country. But we still used earplugs at night. In 33 months of fulltiming we have found lots of friendly CG staff members, but here everybody was cooperative and friendly. We will be back.

We were going to spend only one night so were happy to see all sites are pull-thru. BUT we hardly had room for our 38’ motorhome, much less the toad. As others have noted, sites are extremely tight and there is no shade. The young man who checked us in didn’t have a clue; had to hunt for a map of the park, then gave us one that had been marked up for at least 4 other campers. The only thing going for this park is that it is better than the coal mine campground.

Very nice NFS campground. Has 50 amp hookups and water faucets where you can fill up, but no water at the sites. Sites are long, very wide, and shaded…lot of privacy. And for $11 senior rate, it’s hard to beat. Last year we stayed at White Oak Shores. Sure we had full hookups and cable, but we paid four times as much and were a lot farther from the beach.

This is one of the best KOAs we have found, BUT for $58.50 a night (after KOA member discount, we did not expect an additional $3 pp resort/activity fee, we would expect more than 11 TV channels, and we would expect free wi-fi. We were visiting friends and did not use the “activities.” Some CG charge for miniature golf or the pool, but this one charges even if you do not use them. The interior roads were filled with potholes while the staff was planting flowers. We have been full-timing from the Atlantic to the Gulf to the Pacific for 2.5 years and this CG has earned the “most expensive while offering the least CG so far” award. We will NOT be back. There is a Wal-Mart not very far away.

Very nice. Sites nicely spaced, most well-shaded and level. We had a pull-through that easily handled our 38’ and toad. Very helpful staff. Clean laundry room. Sites near the noisy turnpike are mostly seasonal and were somewhat messy. They are separate from the short-stay sites. Yes, there is a nearby gun club, but we hardly heard the shots. Two minor complaints: water pressure was somewhat low and there is no book swap library. We have family in the area and will definitely return.

This CG is not perfect, but the new owners really put their hearts, souls and bodies into improving it. Several campers told me how much they had accomplished in four months. CG was very clean, our site was not shaded, but others were. We had a very long pull-thru, perfect for an overnight. Extremely helpful owners, staff, fishing and swimming in lake, very quiet, but close to interstate. John, the owner, really went out of his way when our hydraulics failed the morning we were to leave: I could not pull in the slideouts or raise the jacks. John spent about 90 minutes---most of it in the cramped quarters inside the slide out---checking, tightening and reconnecting. He got it to the point where we could bring in the slideouts and bring up the jacks. He could have just ignored out problem and accepted camping fees for several nights until we could get it fixed. (Not much RV service in the area).

I would rate this CG higher, but I was put off by their claim “2/10 miles to beach.” Literally that is correct…from the extreme rear point of the CG. But from the front of the CG to that rear point is 1 mile. When we arrived, we found our site very unlevel. When we complained, they offered a couple of other unlevel sites or some flat sites that were in the middle of lakes caused by the recent rain. (The choice: a leveling problem or a mosquito problem,,,hmmm). Another complaint and they sent staff with boards to help us level. We were able to get a passably level motorhome. I give them credit for doing what they could to correct a problem. Also there is a nearby railroad track with a few trains at all hours that is very close to some sites. Long ago, I bought earplugs. We were not offered a free newspaper. Would we be back? I don't know.

We had a wide, long pull-through, but many sites were short and narrow. Interior roads were among the worst we have seen in 30 months of full-timing. They offer GS discount only if you ask for it: no GS signs at all. TV is not cable, but satellite with only some 25 stations. Walk from our site to office/laundry/pool/rest rooms would have been long, so long that they placed porta-potties throughout the CG. Directions we were given had us pulling into our site in the wrong direction. There was a car for sale partially blocking the CG entrance. I do not understand at all the two earlier glowing reviews. We will not be back.

Nice indoor pool and hot tub, but very strong chlorine smell. Sites shady, very wide and private, but need some gravel; muddy after rain. Paved roads/ Good cable and Wi-Fi card reception; CG charges for Wi-Fi. Only major complaint was lotssss of mosquitoes. CG says they spray for mosquitoes, but maybe should work on eliminating the water where they breed. Not on lake but sister CG, Clearwater CG is; Meredith Woods is quieter and more private than Clearwater. Staff very helpful. CG sign is hard to see until you are top on it; they should tell you to turn at the flashing light.

Hard to level; had to exit through another site. No cable or Wi-Fi. Camp store is extensive and expensive 30% more than nearby stores. Extremely poor interior roads. Very commercial. Obviously caters to canoes.

Clean, pretty park, although Lower Lake had a lot of algae. 50-amp at site, but water faucets available only at a few locations. We had a pull through that was very difficult to enter and leave. Some TV reception; no Wi-Fi even with our Verizon card and campground 5 miles off Interstate. Sites are 2 miles from campground office. A bit below what we expect from a state/national campground.

Nice CG with lots of trees, but sites a bit small and roads narrow, especially when leaving by the pool. Rec room was just a bunch of video games. Good cable. Price a bit steep.

Rate was the highest we paid in 2.5 years of full timing. We expected luxury, but it was substandard. Gravel road into park. Entrance to the park unlevel. Check-in behind the pool, 50’ away from where you stop, and you walk across gravel/dirt/mud. After you register, you have to go forward, then back up to make a difficult u-turn to get to sites. Very friendly and concerned staff. Few sites for big rigs. Interior roads very tight and full of ruts; we almost bottomed out…a disaster. Wi-Fi was very slow; no cable and only a few TV stations with antenna. 30-amp hookup did not have a circuit breaker, electrical wire tied to trees. Don’t follow GPS; follow directions on website if you want this experience. Weekend we were there was a “backyard carnival,” but they charged for almost everything. Laundry had one washer and one dryer. We will NOT be back…we’d rather stay at a Walmart.

Right on Mississippi River, 20 yards away. Campground floods if river rises, but you get several days’ warning. Water was high when we were there, but it gave us a different view of the river. Cement slabs. Out front window faced the river. Computer is a little slow. No cable, but adequate reception with antenna.

We paid the Passport America rate. Pull-throughs with cement slabs, otherwise gravel. Interior roads were a bit rough. Cement slab was just barely long enough for us to lower our jacks. Hard to level and some sites hard to get into. Heated pool, little store, huge clean laundry with front loaders. Music at pool hot tub area around supper time. Nature walk…lots of trees. Full hook ups. 50 amp. Cable and Wi-Fi but sometimes Wi-Fi slows down. We used our air card.

Very narrow road from office into the campground, with piles of rocks on both sides---be careful. Sites need a lot of work to level. Several long pull-throughs with full hook ups. TV reception with antenna was bad.

Beautiful Corps of Engineers campground. We stayed at the Golden Passport rate. Staff very helpful, comfortable, long sites. Good TV reception with antenna. Call campground to get directions…a lot of road construction between the Interstate and the campground.

Passport America rate. Picnic table, small trees, cable, Wi-Fi a bit slow; air card was faster. Small swimming pool…not heated...no bathroom by pool. Laundry room dryers did not work, but office refunded money. Dump hose had to carry water up a grade. Our site backed on a regularly used road---we used ear plugs. Sites close together. Lots of ducks, but more in the future: we counted 20 babies.

Quiet, and separated from the Interstate by a hill. There are pull through sites and excellent wi-fi. The only negative was that it was extremely difficult to level. The nearby Flying J also has a Blue Beacon truck wash that did a great job on our RV for $35. Many campers were using the campground for just an overnight.

Great campground, site on a large creek. One of the better private CPGDs we have found in 2 ½ years of full timing. Don’t follow GPS; follow directions on CPGD website. At first we were turned off by lack of cpgd map, lack of info about area, but realized it’s all about the laid back atmosphere. One hour from George Washing National Forest and Shenandoah National Park. TV, Wi-Fi were great.

Just an overnight stay. Had a site right on the water…electric and water only…large site…shaded, 30 amp. Only 1 good TV channel with antenna. It was a little hard to level

Sites are widely spaced apart and very well shaded. Well-maintained. Only complaint was that when we got to our assigned site, a CG worker on a golf cart came up quickly and told us not to back in. We had already noticed some very soft spots at the site, and the worker told us that the last motorhome had to be towed after it sank into the ground. After a lot of give-and-take, they advised us not to back all the way into the site. This was acceptable, but if that worker had not come up…. They should have designated the site as unusable until it was repaired. Get directions from the park; our GPS took us through a large residential neighborhood.

We were disappointed with this KOA. Lots of steep hills to get in and get to a site, tight in getting into site. Staff insisted in “helping” us…we could have done better alone. Sites close together. Laundry inefficient and costly. Poor signage to find the CG. commercial: $4 for miniature golf that is free at most CG. We will NOT return.

Typically good COE campground. Only complaints were narrow road leading to the CG and we had a hard time leveling. We stayed at the senior citizen rate. Definitely will return.

Some of the “waterfront” sites only have a view of the marina. That said, it is a great park, even if it has only 30 amp sites. Our site was huge. Amazing visitor center. Great views. Our GPS took us through residential areas to get to the campground, so follow the campground’s directions. Very Helpful staff.

We stayed at Passport America rate---no limit on number of nights. Great bargain for a great park. Full hookups, 50 amp, large and new and very clean laundry. $1.50 wash, $1 to dry and it really dries. Iron and ironing board. Sites are just big enough. They opened a restaurant next door two weeks before we arrived: all-you-can-eat buffets for breakfast for $3.99 and Friday night fish/chicken buffet is $6.99. Extremely nice owners and workers. Would take you to a show if you need a ride. Good Sam was inspecting the property while we were there and the inspector said the current owners had made a lot of improvements. Pool was under construction/renovation. Check to see if it is open because there is little else for kids to do.

This campground is basically a parking lot with no activities, no trees. Sites are spaced adequately, but the gravel interior roads are very bumpy. Trash cans were not emptied. Cable TV reception was very poor; we got much better reception with our antenna. It is very close to the Alabama Music Hall of Fame; in fact, when they hold outdoor concerts, I am sure you can hear the music from across the field. There is very poor signage leading to the CG. Our GPS took us down the wrong road; fortunately there was a school bus garage with turn-around space. In fact, as we completed the turnaround, an employee approached us and said something like, “You followed your GPS system, didn’t you?” We obviously weren’t the first.

Few trees and lots of wind. Lots of noise from the air traffic at Memphis airport (buy ear plugs); pool was closed. Paved sites, easy to pull into. Fabulous staff. Good laundry. We had to leave and return several times due to work being done at American RV (Great company) and staff was very accommodating.

Definitely not “luxury.” This park is basically a parking lot, with little room between sites and very few trees. They say it is three blocks to the beach, but the beach is 0.3 miles from the entrance to the park, much farther from the campsites. And the closest beach was very crowded. Both the electricity voltage and the water pressure fluctuated greatly. Wi-Fi was very slow. If you enter from the north or exit to the north, be very careful. The entrance has a sharp dip. When we return to Gulf Shores, we will look for another RV park because we had to drive to the beach anyway.

We stayed at the Senior Pass rate. A typical Corps of Engineers campground---and I mean that in a good way. Sites are shaded by tall trees, many sites on the water, quiet, very scenic, friendly staff. The only criticism is that a few sites would be tight with slides out. We’ll be back.

Some sites are a bit tight, some are not level. Interior roads range from very good to passable. The campground was very quiet at the end of March. The Park is scenic, but campground is not. When I made the reservation, I was given the address of the park office, not the campground; fortunately the ranger at the entrance corrected that. The campground is more than 5 miles from park entrance. Sewers available, but electric is only 30 amp. Broadband with our Verizon air card was spotty. Don’t miss the free tour of Golden Flake potato chip factory in Birmingham, but call ahead.

Verizon cell and Internet do not work here. Campground Wi-Fi is $12/week, but it is excellent. Cable has no TV Guide channel, so you need Wi-Fi. On a big lake, but the fishing dock is in water about 3 feet deep…not many if the large bass the lake is famous for. Lots of activities and the full-timers are very friendly. A lot of side-by-side hookups, but the layout provides a lot of room on the other side of the RV. Many of the full timers park their pickups close to the narrow roads. The exits from the CG are on curve.

Nightly rate is based on the weekly rate. A great park if you get a gulf-front site. 15-20 sites are gulf-front pull-ins, the rest are back from the beach and do not have gulf views. WiFi is superb; Cable pretty good; hosts friendly; small sandy beach with shallow water, fishing pier. Not much else to do, but this is a great place to relax, read, enjoy the Gulf. Morning sun coming in through the windshield warmed up the MH, but might be a drawback in the summer. Only major con is the noise from Hwy 98 running alongside the CG. The gulf-front views more than offset that…but only because we had a gulf-front site.

We paid the PA rate. This campground has a lot of potential, but it has some major flaws. The pros: remote, very quiet, boardwalk to the Suwannee River, wide sites, friendly staff. Cons: extra charge for 50-amp, county roads leading to the park entrance very narrow, road from park entranced unpaved, rutted and dusty, power went out twice during our overnight stay. After we got set up, we started to read the campground handout and found out that they require wooden blocks under all leveling jacks. As my wife said, “Not after we are set up.”

We stayed at the monthly rate. This is the third year we stayed here and have become less satisfied each time. This is a good campground, but needs work. The cable is unreliable often snowy reception and it occasionally cuts out. Also, the picnic tables are moldy and need to be replaced.

We like this campground it has shaded sites, full hook-ups; and many are spacious. here is a lake for fishing but it costs $5/day. Two complaints: other campers don’t play by the rules: noise, cutting through occupied sites, but the campground has limited control over this. What they correct is the and potholes. Driving a rig---even at 5 mph--- is an exercise in rock and roll. Several cubic yards of gravel could easily solve this problem.

This is a lovely campground, sites are pull-thru, very large and there is privacy. At night you can hear the sounds of nature. Sites are shaded and have picnic tables. Only two complaints: no sewer hook-up, which is not unusual for state parks, and the cable (which seems to be satellite) is terrible…about 12 channels that come in and out with the weather.

Ask for a site in the back, farther away from the interstate noise. Very nice doggy park, but it is located at one end of this rather elongated park would be better if more centrally located. All sites are long pull-throughs, shaded sites. Interior roads are a bit rough. Also there is no breaker in electric box. Good for an overnight stop not much to do in Walterboro.

We stayed at this campground last year and were satisfied. What a difference a year made. The sites close to the beach are sandy and unshaded, but that is what you expect at the beach. Last year we arrived with no reservation and were treated like royalty; this year we were treated pleasantly when we made the reservation, and chopped liver when we arrived. What was unacceptable this year was the cleanliness of sites: lots of trash, the water pressure: very low, the Wi-Fi: very slow and their failure to enforce their own rules during the fall Harley Davidson rally. They do not allow motorcycles at times other than the bike rallies. Their rules: ride at idle while in the park; drive to and from campsites only. Great if they were enforced. But bikers revved their bikes for extended periods on the sites, drove at high speeds in the park and cruised up and down the interior roads. And watch out for the campers that return each year and take over vacant sites for their loud and early morning/late night parties.

No mature trees or shrubs, so we felt the brunt of a windstorm…also would be very hot during the summer. Pull-thru sites are grass and level. Many full time residents but their sites are very clean. It was about one-half mile to the swimming pool and the dock on the river. Some 10 miles from the beach. They do not tell you that the wi-fi is not free and when you try to log on, you learn it is $10 a day...most expensive we have seen in 20 months of full timing

Last 0.6 miles to the CG was over very bumpy road. Long, wide pull throughs, well-kept grounds, tall shade trees…but no cable.

Dust…dust…dust. It is located on a dirt road and has dirt interior roads…and Nebraska wind shoots billows of dust through the DG. Trees, but they need to be trimmed. We had to back out of our pull-through site. Pool was clean, but small. No cable but reasonable reception of networks with antenna. Water connections are shared, which mean we had to connect on passenger side of MH. Fortunately we have a long hose. Sites close together. Laundry expensive.

Very poor signage…we drove right past it and had to turn MH and toed around in downtown Shelby. Very noisy with Interstate just yards away. Sites very narrow. If there had been a rig next to mine, my awning would have hit it. Difficult to attach water hose. A dirt/gravel parking lot. OK for overnight if you pack earplugs.

We paid the Passport America rate. Sites are well shaded, interior roads a bit bumpy, but manageable. Playground, but no pool. Owners very friendly and helpful.

We paid the Passport America rate. Some sites have side-by-side hookups, but the CG was less than 25% full and the owner spaced the rigs so no two were next to each other. Off the beaten path and bumpy interior roads, but delightfully cool under tall trees with the Illinois River on the edge of the CG. Owner very helpful. Really needs better signage. Without our GPS, we would not have made it.

Very few sites have ocean views. It is 8-9 miles north of Gold Beach and nearest supermarkets. Yes, there is a stocked trout pond, but it costs $15 to fish for an hour or for the first fish; additional fish are $10 each. We stayed in early June, and the restaurant was closed, but Friday evening, somebody from the park came by and asked us if we wanted to eat in the restaurant that evening. Sites are very level and have average privacy. Flowers are beautiful throughout the park. Laundry is too small for a park this size. Beach is 6-7 minutes away through a trail that crosses Hwy 101. Wi-Fi was okay.

As previous reviewer noted the slabs at the sites are narrow, but that is the only complaint I have about this park. From the way they handled our reservation to the way we were greeted…the cleanliness of the restrooms, the laundry, beautiful landscaping; beautiful marina views. Griff’s might have good seafood, but I did not go there. I stopped in late one afternoon and asked if they had seafood coating in their “market.” They offered to sell me some of the coating they use…at $10 for two cups. I don’t think so.

This campground has all the amenities, is across a road from the beach. However, the sites are very close together with only an 8-foot ribbon of grass in between. And those “cute” little bunnies are actually turd-producing monsters. Their poop is all over the grass, and it is not just a question of using a doormat; no, you have to sit outside and pick those pieces of poop out from the bottoms of your shoes, then wipe the soles with alcohol. Or, I guess you could just not go barefoot in your RV until you got the rugs sanitized. Unless you want to experience the joys of tularemia. When I complained, I was told that the park owners trap them and release them elsewhere, but obviously that is not the case when they have become so domesticated. And other reviewers say they have been there for a long time. Don’t you hate it when park staff lies to you?

Overall, a very nice park. Level, wide sites, good views of the marina. I had no problem with the wi-fi. I’d give it a 10 if only the cable wasn’t so skimpy.

This is a great little mom-and-pop campground. The only negatives: low water pressure (guess we had a site away from that of the last reviewer), and those bone-blasting “drainage ditches” across the roads. While we were at the CG, they at least painted stripes across them to make them more visible, but a few cubic yards of large gravel would alleviate the problem. The sites are private and shaded (to the extent we had to juggle to get Sirius reception.)

I would rate the CG higher except for three problems. They cannot eliminate the road noise from the nearby highway but that could correct erratic water pressure and (in time) the lack of shade.

The owner, who considers himself a grudge, is actually a pussycat. As we tried to back in, my wife, the owner and his son-in-law giving different directions…interesting. All site shaded. You have to enter thru a used car lot. But a great mom-and-pop campground. Put up with the strangeness, it’s worth it.

We stayed 2 days in the full-hookup area…basically a parking lot. Heck, we stayed in an electric (30-amp), water site under tall pine trees…20 degrees cooler, and $3 cheaper.

The hot tub is small, above ground, could not fit 4 people; book exchange was take 1/leave 2 (first time I saw this in 16 months of fulltiming); sites were on crushed red rock that got into your shoes and were carried into the RV; the pet wash was not open; the owner seemed more interested in selling short manuscripts (20 pages for $5) he had written; no picnic tables at sites; signage to find the CG woefully inadequate

We paid the Passport America rate, and this campground was not worth anything more. No Pool, no shade, no book exchange. TV service at our site did not work, had to plug into adjoining site. TV was 9 channels, only 4 worked, could not get all the networks; TV cut in and out. They offered 20 cents/gallon discount at a gas station they own…but the discounted price was still 15 cents more than gas in town. I felt very ripped off. Would never stay there again

The Passport America rate is a good reason for staying here. I would not stay at the regular rate. We paid an extra $2 for a site that backed on the BLM area…lots of scenery and birds. The laundry was immaculate and reasonable. However, their wi-fi kept cutting out and contrary to an earlier reviewer, our Verizon card was not reliable at this location. The sites are very unlevel, and the large gravel is a sprained ankle waiting to happen. It was hard to find anybody in the office, and our bat wing antenna got poor reception on only a few channels.

This is the worst CG we have seen in 16 months of full timing. If there was a zero rating available, I would give it to this CG. First of all, the entrance is not well marked, and it is sandwiched in behind a casino and a bunch of not-so-nice homes. We arrived and were told to use site #11. Then the cashier (you register at the cashier in the casino) said maybe that has not been fixed yet. She offered site #14, which we took. On the way to site #14, we saw that site #11 had a big pile of dirt in it. We got settled in. At 8 p.m., the “shift manager” knocked on the door to tell me there had been a complaint about sewage flowing from our site. We went outside and found that the dump connection was not draining. The SM asked me what I could do about it. I said this is your problem, not mine. He said nobody was available on the weekend. I again said this is not my problem. He would see what he could do. About 20 minutes later, I went into the casino and found the SM. He said he wanted me to move to a different site, a back-in that was too short for my 38-foot MH. I told him that I was not about to unhook, unlevel, bring in the slideouts, then move to a too-short site. I said I paid for a full HU, but they did not provide it. Refund my $$ and I would shut off my drain hose. He argued that I had water and electric. I said that is not a full HU. He wandered off to see what he could do. While I was waiting, the registration clerk arrived and I explained what was going on. She promptly refunded my money and called the SM. “I solved your problem,” she told him. This is a RAMADA???

We paid PA rate. Maybe that contributed to our experience. Our picnic table was falling apart, the streets were very narrow. Yes, there is an indoor pool, but if you want to change before walking back to your RV, you have to go to a different building…not very pleasant when it’s cool and windy. The front desk was friendly, but the entrance from the highway to the CG was very poorly marked.

We stayed at the Passport America rate…a bargain. Person who backed us into our site almost had us hit a trailer in the next site. Interior roads are tight. Sites are somewhat tight, and short. (We have a 38’ motor home.) They really need better signage from I-25 to the CG. No pool or table.

I would rate this CG 10, except it did not have picnic tables or a pool. The continental breakfast and the fancy reception area (like middle level motels) were nice, but not needed. The CG also should invest in better signage. The vinyl “Hacienda RV Park" sign nailed to the side of the building was very tacky.

Site was not level. Sewer connection required sewage to flow uphill. 30-amp socket was broken, could not tighten water hose to faucet. Entire CG is on a slope...hard to disconnect and connect toad.

It’s the only CG for 80-100 miles in either direction on I-80. Desk clerk gave us a map of the sites and told us to pick any one that was not occupied or blacked out on the map. The blacked out ones (about 25%), “had something that isn’t working.” We selected a site, leveled, did the slideouts, and then discovered the water did not work (although the site wasn’t blacked out.) Sites are close together and the clerk encouraged us to hang out into the street in front of and behind the MH. Streets were wide, but dusty.

We paid the Golden Age rate. Large, paved sites with good views of the lake. Very clean, 50amp, covered tables. If only the Corps of Engineers could control the wind!

Nice campground shaded by tall trees, including some redwoods. When we checked in, the clerk did not tell us where things were; we had to go back and ask. Laundry was dark, and we couldn’t use the folding table. Site was very level, although very narrow. Some sites were wide and private; others had little room between them. Campground entrance is somewhat hidden, but they provide a turnaround.

We got the Passport America rate for 3 nights (as opposed to the two nights listed in the PA book.) Very efficient and friendly check-in. Sites are long and wide with picnic tables. Shortly after setting up, we were getting into the toad to look around when the desk clerk came up to us and suggested we take in our awning because the winds here are unpredictable. Laundry was exceptionally clean and reasonable; the free wi-fi was the best we have ever had in a park (we are fulltimers). The cable was only 12 channels, but it included the networks, CNN and the weather channel. We’ll be back. Unfortunately, the place is for sale. Let's hope the new owners keep up its high standards.

We stayed at the Passport America rate. Sites have side-by-side hookups, so little space between units on the driver's side. Site was very unlevel. Two of the three exits from the CG are on a sharp curve.

Much better than most KOAs. Restrooms/showers were immaculate. Tea and pie in the afternoon, and continental breakfast. Very friendly staff. I woiuld have given it a 10, except that it had no cable, and I thought the tip jar at the continental breakfast was a bit tacky.

A lot of permanent/seasonal sites, but they were in good repair, and the people were very friendly. During a “fun shuffle” period, they taught us how to play shuffleboard. A lot of events. We had some low-lying branches and Spanish moss that hit the top of the MH when the wind blew; we stopped by the office to ask to have them trimmed…by the time we returned to our site, the staff was already trimming away. This is the first Wilder park we stayed at and look forward to staying at others. I would have preferred 50 amp.

Check-in staff was excellent. They first took us to a sandy, unlevel site, but when I told them it was unacceptable, they took us to a concrete site that was level. Lots of permanent/seasonal residents who were not very sociable to “outsiders.” Not unfriendly, but not friendly. Miniature golf and shuffleboard both needed some heavy work. We stayed at a special intro rate: $149 plus electric for a month. Regular price for the site would be $590 plus electric. Definitely not worth the high price.

Very friendly staff and campers. Many camp there because it is a short walk over a dune to the ocean where they fish. Beach excellent for long walks. Site a bit tight for a big rig. When we arrived, the clerk told us to go ahead to the site and come back because they were celebrating an early Thanksgiving. It took a bit of time to maneuver into the site. Just as we were extending the slideouts, the owner and other person drove up in a golf cart with huge plates of food and dessert. “We didn’t want you to miss out,” the owner said. We will be back.

This is a great park with two drawbacks: No pool...they want you to pay to visit Dutch Wonderland next door (DW owns the park); and the T-shaped sites are very difficult to get into, especially with a big rig. Sites are shaded, but a bit too close together.

Interior roads are dirt and very dusty…also very rutted. We shared side-by-sde hookups with another Class A although there were many vacant sites. No shade trees. Laundry was good.
