“Wild Frontier Rally Park & Campground” in Ocala, Florida - was rated: 8

The rate is with the Passport discount. The park is hard to find, I used the address for Turning Wheel RV which led us right to Turning Wheel, just beyond is the non-gated entrance to the campground. The park was clean, nice grass and some trees. There is some road noise, sirens woke us up […]

“Harrisburg East Campground” in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania - was rated: 6

I can’t remember ever staying in a noisier campground. We had to hollar at each other to hear over the trucks on the interstate. If we had been given a site up near the office it would not have been as bad. There were some empty up there,but I was already set up before I […]

“Woodsmoke” in Irmo, South Carolina - was rated: 6

Spent two nights here in our 32′ Airstream TT. Rustic wooded setting, very shady. Old but clean restrooms, laundry machines almost brand new. Friendly staff (owners) do their own check-in, cleaning and landscape work. Small sites are dirt or gravel, but not very level (challenging with a large rig). Picnic […]

“Meaher State Park” in Spanish Fort, Alabama - was rated: 8

They have completely redone this park All sites are now paved with 30 or 50 amp, sewer, and water. Many are directly on Mobile Bay. There are brand new bath houses too. They also raised their rates to $30 a night which is a bit steep for this park. You can stay at Gulf […]

“Oak Mountain State Park” in Pelham, Alabama - was rated: 8

The quiet was deafening. Didn’t miss the three or four trains blowing whistles during the night like at bh south cg. Yes, the drive in is a little long but well worth the time. Drive slow, there are a lot of deer in the area. The sites were a little close […]

“Blue Angel Recreation Area” in Pensacola, Florida - was rated: 8

We parked in “Battleship Row” which were the FHU sites, and had a smallish site with little or no yard, corner site. Shade with beautiful views of Perdido Bay. Sandy beach, but needed maintenance. Many boat rentals. Nice folks working here. An ocean site would have been nice, but looked […]

“Destin Recreation Center” in Destin, Florida - was rated: 4

I can’t believe the previous write-ups. The RV Parking is no more than a parking lot resembling a RV park. Sites were so small that accommodating a 40ft 5th wheel AND a one ton truck was nearly impossible. Had we stayed we would have been right on top of our neighbors with […]

“Monument RV Resort” in Fruita, Colorado - was rated: 5

Difficult to rate because of the residents of park. Park itself is good. Gravel sites, good power, and workcamper was very nice. Problem is all the energy workers and lots of trucks and cars in the park make it somewhat difficult to get in and out. No management on site (only […]

“Woodhaven RV Park of Halifax” in Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia - was rated: 4

This is a campground that has past its prime. We stayed there 2 weeks in our 5th wheel and found the staff consistently unfriendly and not interested in us. The sites were small, uneven, and the picnic table fell apart, as it looked about 20 years old. The laundromat was dirty and […]

“Quail Trails Village” in Paradise, California - was rated: 4

We got the 40′ Diesel Pusher in, but just barely got it out. This is about as far off the freeway as you want to get. This park is old and set up for trailers, short ones at that. No wi-fi, no cable, no cell phone service. We wanted a very quiet place under the […]
