We love 4 rivers campground in New Mexico… It has covered picnic table, water and clean pit toilets. The scenery is stunning
Our favorite is Point Hudson RV Park & Marina, in Port Townsend WA. We go up there a couple of times a year to sit on the shore and watch the storms blow thru.
I’d happily add a photo – if I could figure out HOW!? I don’t see any way to do that here…
We have several favorite CG’s……Ginnie Springs Outdoors near High Springs, FL. for the 7 springs in the campground on the Santa Fe River. Wyalusing SP outside of Prairie du Chien, WI., you’re on top of a bluff looking down at where the Wisconsin River dumps into the Mississippi River. Then there is Gull Lake NRA outside of Brainerd, MN. This campground is probably the cleanest, best landscaped campgrounds we’ve stayed in & with our America the Beautiful senior pass is cheap, $7/nite.
Solitude Pointe Cabins and RV Park in Cleveland SC. Outside of Fort Wilderness, Disney World, the best park we have camped in and we have been to many. Tranquil is an understatement! It’s a small campground with a few cabins (all with hot tubs) with the owners are on site and working daily to keep the sites in top condition. Location is in the mountains, close to several cities in South Carolina and North Carolina.
We have two favorite (state of Texas) parks. We keep going back to them because we like them and they are a known entity. We know we should explore other parks, but until our family status changes, we can just hope.
Our favorite is Coyote Howls East in Why, AZ. Very quiet and LOTS of space between sites. It is semi Boondocking as they only provide water (for long term). Lots and lots of scenery, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We spend several months a year here.
Lower Pines in Yosemite National Park
South Rim Grand Canyon(spectacular sights) and Silver Strand State Beach, ocean breeze and sunsets, what more can you ask for,
I have one but don’t want anyone to know so it will be there when I get there.
Mountain Views at Rivers Edge, Creede, CO.
Peninsula State Park, Fish Creek, WI. Beach, Hiking and bike trails, great sites and the topper is the Northern Sky Theater inside the park, under the stars at night all summer.
Sea and Sand RV Park, north of Depoe Bay. Amazing.
KOA, west Glacier MT
Westport Union Landing State Beach between Westport and Rockport above Fort Bragg at a State of California campground. Although, they raised the nightly fee 40% from one year to the next which is outrageous as the place NEVER even filled up at the old rate.
Any time I camp without hookups I consider it to be boondocking and that is the case at this campground.
Bull Shoals/White River State Park in Lakeview AR. Except like most state parks nowadays, you need reservations a year in advance.
Kohler-Andrae State Park at Sheboygan, WI. Lots of Red Pine and White Pine trees situated on the shores of Lake Michigan. The camp sites are excellent.
Two Rivers Landing RV Resort, Sevierville TN
Topsail state park in Florida panhandle is GREAT, but our last visit was to Grayton state park just down the road. We had a spot with Western lake at our doorstep, the sunrise was something we will never forget. This two parks have dune lakes at the beach one of the few places in the world that do. Explore trails around the lakes or go to the beaches,they rated at the top as the most beautiful in the states. Been going for 25 + years.
For a quick getaway not too far from home, we like Fancy Gap KOA in Virginia. Well maintained campground and roomy spaces. And it’s very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
In mid-September we stayed for 8 days and nights at the Longhorn RV in Dubois, Wyoming. The RV spots are all well taken care of, the WiFi and cable service was good and the bathrooms were awesome. The bathrooms and shower facilities were all individual with a lockable door to each unit. The Wind River winds through the back side of the campground and the little town of Dubois was full of neat little shops, good dining and very friendly people. We were in a toy hauler and it was easy rides to Jackson Hole, the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone park from Dubois. We did have a problem ( my fault) getting the cable to work our first evening and the maintenance man came by at 9 PM to assist me in getting it up and running.
I highly recommend Longhorn if you are planning a stay in South West Wyoming.
Older Stone Village RV in McMinnville OR. Great staff. Next door to museum that holds the Spruce Goose. 1 building holding early aviation relics and 1 holding space exploration planes. A 3rd building is a water park. McMinnville is in heart of Oregon’s award winning wine country. Day trip you can follow rural roads to see many quaint barns. Beautiful country side. Quaint downtown area. Park is a sea of large sites perfectly manicured lawns, swimming pool, recently remodeled clubhouse with kitchen. Lots of scenic drives thru wine wine, along Willamette river and visit RV camp with vintage travel trailers remodeled for modern facilities. You have probably read about this park in travel magazines. On the hour drive to OR coastline you will pass a stop worthy sculpture garden with giant cypress trees and Spirit Mountain casino.
Hope you enjoy your visit to McMinnville.
In no particular order: Railroad Park, Dunsmuir, CA; Westport Beach RV Park, Westport, CA; Pomo RV Park, Fort Bragg, CA; and Seaside, Newport OR
On-ur-way RV park in Onawa Iowa
Clean park. Beautiful trees and large spaces. Nice camp store and nice people running the place. Just a nice atmosphere and campers would pull out their chairs and enjoy visiting. Wish all RV parks could be like this one! Oh yes…reasonable prices!
Logan state park on the Thompson chain of lake near Libby, Montana
Tiger Run between Breckenridge and Dillon, Colorado. Beautiful sites, easy in and out, propane on site, full hook-ups. Close enough to Breckenridge, Dillon, and Silverthorn for skiing, dining and shopping, but off the road far enough for peaceful relaxation. Day trips to Denver, Leadville, Vail, Aspen, Cripple Creek and Victor, are easily accomplished.
Evergreen RvResort in Mt Eden Ohio great people and a nice clean place with a lot of things to do in the area
Poncho’s Pond, Ludington Mi. RV Resort.
Prophet’s Town SP @ W Lafayette, Indiana. State Park with great sites.
My husband and I enjoy Rasar State Park in the Skagit Valley northeast of Seattle. It is open year-round with electric hookups. Water is shut down during the winter, but you can fill up your tank at the campground faucet that runs year round. We just did a two night “up-for-air-and-gasping” two night sanity break earlier this week. It has a great trail system for morning and evening walks. Rasar is a newer State Park with very RV friendly sites that can easily accommodate “land yachts” and triple axel monster fifth-wheels.
Another year-round State Park we enjoy is Bayview, just west of Mount Vernon. Bayview used to be a privately owned trailer park, and now a state run campground. A walking path takes you to the beach on Padilla Bay. Bayview is also a great jumpping off point for trips into Anacortes and Washington Park and Mount Erie.
Both parks have great cell phone reception (Verizon LTE).
Lake George RV Resort. Pricey but has all the amenities and entertainment you could ever want while Raving. We spend all spring there and do Family camping weekend during the summer. We highly recommend to everyone.
Beachside and South Beach on Oregon coast.
Yes Johnson Creek RV Resort & Park , nice park , like camping should be , no town noise , Hwy or train !!! Very nice an the bathrooms super clean !
My wife and really like “Flintlock Camp Ground” in Boone, North Carolina. It is quiet and has a creek running on the edge of the campground.
One of our clubs favorite camp grounds is Raleigh Oaks, It is located just off Hwy 95 north at exit 300 near Smithfield , NC . This Camp Ground has spacious sites, full hook ups, Wi-Fi, cable tv, Pool, and is located near town. Great place to camp.
Timberlake Campground in Stevenson Washington. It is 2 miles off the Columbia River Gorge nestled in a quiet forest with every campsite surrounded by trees.
Most folks don’t think of Kansas when they are looking for a beautiful campground After all it’s one of the flyover states. If you have only passed through on the interstate you probably have the opinion that there’s not much of any reason to get off and explore. :-). That’s our secret to a peaceful existence. The fact is we have dozens of lakes with shaded campgrounds that sit empty except for the major holiday weekends. Our lakes are small in comparison to many others, but they provide excellent fishing and hiking for those of us that no longer have the abilities to hike rigorous trails.
Wildlife is abundant and Spring and fall temperatures are moderate. The state parks have 50 amp service while most county lakes have 30 amp service. For boondockers the state parks all have wilderness areas with low or no fees and there are a number of old WPA lakes that offer boondocking camping on open prairie or tree covered landscapes. Most of them have bathhouses or at the least vault toilets.
If you are looking for a path less traveled or a peaceful location to unwind we’ve got it here.
Toronto State Park, Fall River, Tuttle Creek State Park, Wilson County Lake, Harvey County East Lake or West Park, and the list goes on…..
Mistletoe state park. Clarks Hill lake north of Augusta Ga.
Quiet, large sites surrounded by water.
Gulf Beach RV Resort, Biloxi, MS- FHU/concrete pads/pull thru and back in sites/very clean/laundry/pool/clubhouse/workout room/pool/large deck overlooking beach/dog park
This park is 2-3 years old and is maintained to appear brand new. Sits on beach road so just walk across road to stroll the beach or take a dip in the gulf or fish. Sites are close together but doesn’t have that tight feel. Very relaxed atmosphere despite being in the middle of casinos, civic center, and sightseeing. Reasonable prices for location. Waffle House in front of park where a 10% discount is offered. We stayed a month and will return.
One of our favorite campgrounds is Hanna State Park in Jacksonville Florida. Full hook ups, fresh water lake and beach all with in walking distance. Laundry and general store very nice sites.
Beverly Beach State Park Oregon, Pioneer rv park Port Aransas TX, Cavendish nat park campground PEI, Kentucky Horse Park Lexington KY
Pine ridge Campground Roebuck, SC
A beautiful, well maintained Campground that offers a Pond for Fishing, Swimming Pool and much more. The owners are very hospitable and just all around nice people. We have stayed here twice so far and will undoubtedly stay there again in the future.
Boulder lake and franklin lake in the Nicolet national forest in Wisconsin. Boulder lake we always camp here as it is close too home. Franklin lake we used too camp at when we used to go to cranfest in eagle river, wi.
We spent the winter at Creekside RV Resort in Foley, Alabama. Only 61 sites – cement slabs, paved roads, lots of grassy areas, 30 and 50 amp, all lots privately owned, (rentals are handled by Hosteeva), great pool, reasonably priced for the area, right across the street from OWA (entertainment complex with amusement park, shops, and restaurants), just miles from terrific shopping and the beautiful south Alabama beaches. We thought it was terrific. The park itself is immaculate, the owners that do live there are so nice, and there is lots to do in the area. We will definitely be back. We’re even thinking of buying a lot here!
Anchor Down RV Resort in Dandridge, TN. All sites have concrete pads, FHU 20/30/50 amp and magnificent views of the Smoky Mountains!
We love the koa in Cortez colorado! The sights and employees are the best! It is centrally located for our destinations
The staff is wonderful
After a long day of traveling it is nice to see a smiling face
BY FAR…BLUE MT.RV park in BLANDINGS UTAH.THE CLEANEST PARK EVER AND THE VERY NICEST PEOPLE. WE STAY AS OFTEN AS WE PASS THIS WAY!
One of our favorite campgrounds is Grassy Key RV Resort in Marathon, FL. It is a small privately owned campground (36 sites) located about 60 miles north of Key West. The sites will accommodate even the largest motorhome. All have full hook-ups. Beautiful park with nice landscaping, gravel sites, boat dock and pool all situated alongside the Gulf of Mexico. The staff will go out of their way to accommodate your needs. We camped at Grassy Key in a 40-foot motorhome with tow vehicle.
We enjoy orange grove rv park east of Bakersfield ca.
Easy pull through spaces, very nice bathrooms and wash rooms. If you hit it at the right time of the year, all the oranges you can pick!
We like Azalea Glen in Trinidad, California. It’s on the north coast so it is rain forest gorgeous with a great little lake and some sites to back up to your own deck on the water.
Although I hate to have more traffic at my favorite places, here are a few that we love in New Hampshire:
Full RV Resort type experience = Danforth Bay in Freedom NH. 2 pools, multiple activities, lakefront sites and access, golf cart rentals, private wooded sites.
Family camping with on site river tubing on 2 rivers, located in the White Mountains = Glen Ellis in North Conway NH.
No hookups In a State park with lakefront sites & access as well as in park hiking and mountain biking = Pawtuckaway State Park in Nottingham NH.
My favorite so far is Top Sail State Park near Destin Fl. The sites are big, and spaced out. All the sites I can remember are under trees so you have shade . They have a private beach and a lake. When we were there they had a band play one evening in a little area a they have. They also have a small swimming pool . The only problem is that you have to make reservations months in advance.
We particularly liked 5 Island Provençal park On Bay of Fundy in Novo Scotia. We visited in October had a site overlooking the bay and were able to scour the beach at low tide and literally watched the 26 foot tide come in. The people were friendly helpful and it was $38.00 for a full hookup. The Canadian provinces were great. if I knew how to leave a picture I would
Boulder Campground, Boulder Illinois. Army Corp of Engineers park very clean and well taken care of. Quiet and they don’t put up with nonsense.
My favorite campground is Pettecote Junction Campground in Cedar Run, PA. A small family run campground that is very well maintained! It lies right along side the Pine Creek and backs up to the Pine Creek Rail Trail.
Pandion Ridge in Orange Beach AL; pull through and back in sites all FHU and concrete pads! Gulf Shores and Foley only minutes away, great beaches too! Staff is always pleasant and helpful Pensacola NAS and VA hospital is close too
Pismo Coast Village, Pismo Beach, Ca. located on the beach. This RV park has it all. Heated pool, laundry, restaurant, arcade, putt putt golf, store, rv repair, rv storage. Downtown is within walking distance for good grub ( fish,BBQ,etc. ) ! We store our TT there as I do not tow anymore, this park is enough. Reservations are needed for holidays & summer ! Definitely something to check out for California’s Central Coast !!
Eagle Ford Estates in San Antonio, TX. This one is a smaller, family owned park. I believe 60 spots. It is only 25 minutes from the River Walk downtown and you feel like you are living in the country. Very quiet. Staff living on site. Large spots with lots of shade from Oak trees.
Mayberry Campground in MT. AIRY, NC. Very clean; all sites have FHU. Good prices. Best part is the little town of Mt. Airy. Love to walk the main street; stopping at the antique stores, barney’s café, Floyd’s barber shop. Everyone will chat with you. Also the large granite quarry just outside the town.
Just 20 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
One of my favorite RV parks is Fort Pickens in Pensacola, Fla. It is part of the National Sea Shore. Has museum and the fort to visit.
My favorite RV resort is Oceanside Beachfront RV Resort in Oregon. Beautiful park and has been updated since we were there. Just a short way from Coos Bay so anything you need is available. Many amenities in this resort and the ocean there is magnificent!!!
ceder village park prichard Idaho.
Poches RV Park and Fishing Camp. Nothing fancy here but when I want quiet and maybe a little fishing in a stocked pond (no license required), this is my favorite. Located a few miles off I-10, near Breaux Bridge, LA, Poches has a lot of space between campsites that all have full hookups. They also have cabins for family and friends who are not lucky enough to have a RV. With the exception of a handful of sites, all are located on a lake stocked with bass and white perch. They encourage catch and release but have no problem with you keeping your catch for a meal or mounting. They have a large rally room with a full kitchen and wrap around porch. Like to go to the porch and enjoy a cigar during the rain. Close to the best Cajun food restaurants and dancehall that has Cajun music every night. Also close to several swamp tour outfits. New owners are great and always willing to help. There is a small pool that is always clean for the kids.
I’m afraid to mention our fave RV park (which is currently still open) for fear someone in ‘power’ will see it – and SHUT IT DOWN!
We enjoy Saylorville Lake COE campgrounds, particularly, Prairie Flower. They have five sections, plus multiple circles for group camping. Sites are spacious, easy to back in to and electricity. Dump station and faucets located in each section for fresh water. My second choice is Bob Shetler. Restrooms at both campgrounds have always been extremely clean.
Forgot to mention this is near Des Moines, Iowa.
We full time at Cleveland Sandusky Jellystone which is in Nova Ohio. they have a lake,bouncey pad,rock climbing wall,a pool even a outside rc car course i see big kids and little kids racing their 4 wheel drives around also saw someone had a rc boat out on the lake.they have a nice store brand new bath houses and laundry.oh ya and the owners are GREAT Todd & Pam they do a very good job at making sure everything is good.all the people that stay there are great,we do party but we are done at 10 lots of old partyers lol we also have bingo,dj and movie night .we are really happy there.oh ya they have disc golf also
Our favorites have become PA ad other State Parks. Most have larger spaces, cost less, have separate dog spaces, and are very well kept. While full hook- ups are not always available, I can get by for easy 4-5 days without sewage,
The wife and I spend the winters at the Voyager RV resort in Tucson AZ. It is not rustic camping, it’s resort living. There are so many activities to participate in that there is no excuse to be bored. I like the very well equipped wood shop. I usually turn 4 or 5 segmented bowls each winter and a few smaller projects. My wife enjoys the musical instrument lessons and groups that meet. They have a very good restaurant right in the park. The food is good and reasonably priced. We’ve been coming here for five years and don’t expect to go anywhere else for the winter. Though this year it looks like we’ll be spending the summer also.
Favorite Campground in South Dakota
Union Grove State Park
We spend Winters at Larrabee State Park outside of Bellingham WA. Sites are paved and spacious with electric and sewer. Water is turned off October15th due to freezing weather. But there is a full site for all at the restroom. There are lots of trails for everyone as well as places to kayak or canoe. 20day stay limit during winter months. Rangers are very helpful as well.
We spend most of our winter at the LAZY DAYS RV Resort in Seffner, FL just east of Tampa, FL. Just looking at the price per day may seem high to many. Long term rates are available. They also offer a Military discount. There are many advantages to stay there.
With about 300 sites, most are 40 foot and some are 45 foot at an extra cost. All sites have 50 AMP electric, water, sewer and cable, A complimentary breakfast if offered 6 days a week. There is enclosed swimming pool, a large recreation building for rally’s and large get togethers, outdoor movies once a week, a Gym/Workout facility, basketball court, tennis courts, fenced dog park. and even a dog wash. There is an on site restaurant/bar called Exit 10 that is based on a very large motor home with bench seats in slide outs and an awning covered bar area.
Lazy Days RV Resort gets us very close to our friends and family in Tampa, Riverview, Bradenton and Lakeland, FL. Close to sports events, museums and many other events and attractions in the Tampa/St Petersburg area.
Our favourite park is Tom Sawyer’s RV Park in West Memphis Arkansas. It is special to have your RV right on the great Mississippi River!
Favorite campgrounds
Blue Anchor in Osburn, ID
Hidden Beaches River Resort in Blythe, CA
Airport Park on Lake Waco in Waco, TX.
Corp of Engineers campsites
Rancho Jurupa park in Riverside, CA. Also Pechange Casino Resort in Temecula.
We think our favorite, so far, is Ft Desoto Florida. Nice sized spaces, swimming and kayaking, off leash dog beach.all future trips to Fl. We will attempt to have at least a week there.
Jim and Mary’s in Missoula, MT is one of the most beautiful and friendly parks we have stayed in. We were there for 3 weeks last July and enjoyed everyday. Staff is super and is in good location to day trip out of
East Coast; Fort Wilderness, Disney World. West Coast: Arches NP, Devil’s Garden Campground.
Movin’ West RV Park, Graeagle, CA. Shout out to Susan, John, Gayla, and Sam, the nicest camp hosts we’ve met.
Bullard Beach State Park, Bandon OR. Not fancy, but it has features most park visitors don’t seem aware of. There’s a tsunami trail or the Bullard family cemetery (both on Loop C), a nice mostly flat walk to the beach (1 mi), or a visit to the boat ramp on the Umpqua River, and my favorite, the hidden trails behind the large public park areas.
Yes!
The Great Divide Campground in Andover, NJ. Situated in the beautiful rolling hills of Sussex County, the owners have developed this park into a fun, family-oriented resort with activities scheduled from the time you arrive til the end of your stay. Great live bands, ice cream socials, contests, games, parties, you name it! An Olympic-sized pool, a fishing and boating pond, a two, story barn with card playing rooms, video parlor, dance floor. More than enough to keep all of their guests busy and satisfied. Having spent 17 years there, we feel as tho we can rate this campground a 10-10-10.
