When it comes to the topic of public campgrounds, without a doubt the national parks get the lion’s share of the publicity, followed closely by many amazing state parks throughout the country. But often just as nice, and in some cases even better, are municipal campgrounds run by counties and cities. So, for this week’s question, we want to know:
What is the best city or county campground you have ever stayed in and why?
DO include as much of the following information as you know:
- The county, city, and state where the campground is located
- The best (and worst) times of year to visit and why
- Cell and Wi-Fi service levels
- Whether or not there is a campground host on duty
- Other amenities like electricity, water, dump station, etc.
- Any limitations such as RV size restrictions or difficult terrain to get there
- What makes this particular campground so great and what, if any, are its downsides? For instance, I love the oceanside camping at Santa Barbara County’s Jalama Beach so much that I don’t mind dealing with the often high winds, but some people do. (See photo above.)
Please answer by filling out the form below on this page (not in the comments).
Please try to keep answers as short as possible (under 100 words is ideal*).
We’ll compile the most compelling answers and comments into a follow-up article next week.

Hall County campground, Grand Island, NE!
Can’t give up the secret, might have a hard time getting reservation afterwards.
Hmmm Guess I have never paid attention to whether city, county, state, or national. It is nice not to remember. I can go the same place a number of times and it is a new experience every time.
As others have said, I’m not giving up that info. I will say it’s less than $65.00 per nite, full hookups, on the beach! No problem getting in! Don’t have to book months out.
What, give up my secret? I think I’ll keep it to myself.
I’m for sure with the previous commenters…..Except!…..I will share the Fairgrounds Campground close to Colfax, Wa.
I’ve driven by several times and just didn’t see it, I went looking for it on the net.
I only share this because when I stopped there both going and coming back from a trip through Wa,-Idaho over highway No. 12 towards Montana, it was swell!
Look it up, plenty, I mean plenty of sites with level FHU sites at a reasonable-great cost.
As usual, and not the fairgrounds fault, a woman with her dog, without a leash parked 20′ from me with 200? spots? There were only 4 of us in the whole place.
When her dog tried to get in my door I called her on it,
