“Lincoln State Park” in Lincoln City, Indiana - was rated: 7

This is a very nice family park. The sites were fairly level, but many had lots of trees which could make backing a trailer into one difficult. The restrooms were not the cleanest, but not horrible either. The beach is very nice and has a camp store near it. The distance […]

“KOA-Custer/Mt. Rushmore” in Custer, South Dakota - was rated: 6

Funny, the review right below this one recommends that you avoid the KOA that’s closer to Rushmore. We stayed at this KOA because we couldn’t extend our stay at the Hill City Rushmore KOA. That KOA is huge but we really preferred it over this much smaller KOA. Oh, don’t get me […]

“Springfield / Route 66 KOA” in Springfield, Missouri - was rated: 5

This is an almost ideal park, very clean, nice facilities and features. But there are two major flaws that put this place in the very over-priced category: loud train noise (both day and night) and low electric power. We could not operate our air conditioner and use any other appliance. Plug-in the George Foreman grill […]

“Grand Canyon / Williams KOA” in Williams, Arizona - was rated: 9

This campground is undergoing a rebuild due to a fire in the offices. The staff went out of their way to make us welcome. The facilities in operation were very well maintained. They have a fenced dog exercise area which was great. This made a perfect base camp for our visit to the Grand Canyon, […]

“Golden Municipal Campground & RV Park” in Golden, British Columbia - was rated: 6

This campground was rather disappointing, although we should have been warned by the name ‘Municipal’. It is located along the road, across from a school building. Thankfully it is a dead end road, and the part in the back is for campers only, on two sides of the road. The sound of […]

“Wood’s Tall Timber Lake Resort” in New Philadelphia, Ohio - was rated: 8

We really enjoyed camping here. The sites are level but up on a hill. Be ready to walk uphill to get back to your camper. They had a few activities for the kids on Memorial Day Weekend. The playground is nice. They have mini golf and paddle boats to rent. […]

“Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park at Lazy River” in Gardiner, New York - was rated: 2

Our site #112 was not ready upon arrival. Employees and staff were rude and nasty. Seasonal campers were friends of the staff and allowed to curse at incoming campers, kick kids from the pool and generally disregard the rules. Be careful of staff and other campers speeding excessively through the grounds with golf carts. […]

“Westerly RV Park” in Durango, Colorado - was rated: 6

This is a limited services park that opened in the summer of 2009. Its base was a rather rundown mobile home park about 5 miles north of Durango. The new owner has replaced all the utilities and added gravel. At this point there are no restrooms or showers at this small park, […]
