My Comments

Deer Creek State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- Medium sized campground. 90% of the sites are level. About 40% heavily wooded, the other 60% full sun. The wooded sites were very large and had good spacing between sites. One thing I noticed are the paved pads are about 3-4' wider than the normal Ohio state park campground. The two shower house I checked out had a "Nursing Home" type smell. They looked clean, they just had a funky smell. The disc golf course was fairly easy. Besides boating there's not much else in the area. But being close to Columbus Ohio, I'm sure its full on the weekends. On a Sunday night it was about 40% full.

Paint Creek State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- Very busy state park with weekends that are always full. The whole campground is built on a moderate rolling hillside. The sites themselves were nicely cut into the hill. So most of the sites are a few inches off from level. Be warned, there are some relatively un-level ones too. Most of the sites were fairly large. About 65% were full sun, with the remainder offering some shade. A lot of large RV trailers occupied the sites the 5 days I was here. About 90% RV trailers. There is a very nice / fairly easy disc golf course there. The camp store offers ice cream which seems to be a gathering point after dinner each night. Not much hiking in the park but, at the state parks south border is the Highlands Sanctuary with miles and miles of very unused trails. The area used to be known as 7 Caves. Some very unique gorges, plants and rock formations. One negative I will point out. With so many RV trailers camping, the dump station (two hole) cant handle the 200 sites leaving on a Sunday. The road that the dump station is on is kind of narrow. So if your not needing to dump, you might get stuck waiting in the line anyway, which I'm told can be 2-3 hours long. We didn't need to dump, along with the 40' 5er in front of me, but further down the line was a RV who refuse to stay all the way over in his lane. We was 2' into the middle of the road and no one could get around him.

Pike Lake State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- Small 80 campsite state park located in the hills of Southern Ohio. All 80 sites have electric. With a full range of small and narrow, to some above average in size. The whole campground was just re-paved, and a new shower building was just built. And as of July 2021 a new dump station was just opened in its new location by the maintenance garage. As far as each site goes, there are many where either a tree will block your awning from being fully extended or most of the electric boxes are close to the rear of the paved pad. So if you have a rear slide near the back of your RV, the box might interfere with it opening. The small lake is very well kept. They have a nice canoe / kayak launching dock, also boat rentals. There are 4-5 shorter hiking trails. The disc golf is a "no go" as it's too over grown to be fun. The small camp store offers a little bit of everything, including ice cream. To get to Pike Lake with a medium to large RV, I would strongly suggest coming in from the south (Pike Lake Road). The Northern entrance is relatively steep and narrow road going up and over the mountain from route 50. Also, when checking in with a large unit the check in station / park office doesn't have a whole lot of space to turn around. If your pulling a RV trailer over 35', your best bet would be to go right to your site.

Great Seal State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- This was a "drive-thru" review. Its a small, well kept campground located near a residential area. The main theme of this park are horses. The 15 non-electric sites are arranged in one loop with a slight hill. The sites themselves are nicely cut into the hill to provide a semi level site. Most of the sites have a horse pick line to tie up your beast. The gravel pads have good length to handle larger trailers. The sites provide very little shade. There is a water faucet to fill your tank. The pit toilets were up to date and very clean. ++ No shower house ++ ++ No Dump Station ++

Hocking Hills State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- This is a update review from the one I did 5 years ago. First off they now have about 45 full service sites, and 151 total. A brand new pool was put in the last year or so. But, to my disappointment the road from the check in station at the bottom of the hill to the actual campground on top of the ridge is still very narrow with totally blind corners. You have to pray no big rigs are driving down as your driving up. Yes there are 40/45' rigs that make it up. The campground is very busy in general. As far as size of sites I would say its below average. The closest sites seem to be the middle section. So, pay very close attention when reserving. There also tended to be the habit of people parking there extra vehicles in the street part way, thus having to be very careful going around. Most of the sites tended to be very worn out as far as the grass being dead, a lot of mud puddles from so many vehicles parking in the grass, site pads that cause you to back in 4-5' into the apron to get into your paved site. The park just opened a new visitor center rivaling a national park style you might find at a national park. Because of Covid, a good deal of the trails are one way. It reality just makes everything flow better. Even with the visitor center parking lot being huge, there is no room for RV's on the weekends. You might sneak one in during the off hours on the week days. Did I say the park in general is very busy. Yes, its very busy. The dining hall that burnt down 4 years ago, is being rebuilt, and should be done next year. Now it will include a 88 room lodge too. One final note. There are not a whole lot of places to eat out at the state park. You need to go into Logan 10 miles away for restaurants. The Olde Dutch Restaurant in Logan is our favorite.

Mill Creek Recreation Area Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- The campground 5 basic loops. Two of the three have electric service. The showerhouses are very typical 1960's building in need of updating. The first (front) electric loop the sites were either somewhat uphill or downhill. Not a whole lot were level. The back electric loop had mostly level / shady sites. Sites on average were large. Both back two non-electric loops had some very nice lakefront ones. Most were full shade. Be aware, when coming here for the first time, the signage is very poor. The first sign coming from the north looks like it the entrance to the campground. Buts its actually the picnic area. The second sign has the word "campground" about half way into a paragraph. You have to be a fast reader to catch it. They only open a week before Memorial Day and into the 4th week of Sept. Its basally a boaters campground.

Guilford Lake State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- We spent three nights here on a lake front site. One of the best sites ever. About every other waterfront site has its own dock. So you can either tie up your boat ( 10 PH limit ) or launch your kayaks. Its a very small campground with just 41 sites. On average the sites are a bit on the small size. But one "flaw" each site has is: the electric box is 2-4' before the end of the paved pad and a foot away. This means if you have a mid to rear slide on your drivers side that box is in the way. Showerhouse was very clean. There is a small beach there in the campground. Sites for the most part run the full spectrum of sunny, part shade and full shade. RV's over 40' might have some issues maneuvering thru the campground and to the dump station. Overall a nice relaxed stay, especially our waterfront site. We kayaked about half the 400 acre lake. We biked to the other side of the lake past all the vacation homes along the lake.

Mosquito Lake State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- We used to camp here a lot back about 10-20 years ago. So decided to return last week for 3 nights. Was able to reserve a full service site two days out. The whole campground in general (90%) is fairly level. 75% of the sites are semi or full shade. Site size in average are fairly decent to large. Over the last 10 years they have added 39 full service sites, a new showerhouse, new dump station, new sewage plant, new playgrounds (2) and disc golf. There is a boat launch in the campground. A few of the lake front sites you can tie your boat up to. All sites are paved. ** FYI, when there is a lot of rainy weather or a long period of rain, the lake will flood. Also the campground will have areas of water, swamps and very wet sites. About 3/4 of a mile by bike or walking is the beach., huge new playground and disc golf. There are not many "attractions" in the area. Across the lake ( 4 mile drive ) there is the town of Cortland for groceries and a few eateries. It's one of the Ohio State parks, that tends not to fill up as fast as most of the others.

Buckaloons Recreation Area Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- A US Forest Service Campground operated by a concessionaire. Conveniently located right off state route 6 just on the outskirts of Warren PA. 58 sites in two loops, one with electric sites ( 1-42 ) and one non-electric ( 43-58 ). The campground loops have paved roads, the campsites are hard packed gravel, some with a little grass surface mixed in. *** Warning*** As you drive around the loops, there are "speed bumps". Not your normal speed bumps, but elongated ones stretching 6'-8' long. If not paying attention, you will bounce your tow vehicle enough to slap the bottom of your hitch on the pavement. The campsites are average sized with about half larger / deeper. A few of the campsites with more grass surface than gravel, tended to be softer and muddy. All sites are level...there is a one mile flat hiking trail that loops around the whole campground perimeter along the Allegheny River and the Brokenstraw River. Dump station is easy to get to. The one shower house was well kept and clean. About a mile east of the campground on route 6 is an excellent Visitor Center, well stocked with information for the whole Allegheny National Forest area covering NW. PA. Overall, more of a convenient stop over location, than a scenic spot.

Hearts Content Recreation Area Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- This is s US Forest Service Campground. It is run by a concessionaire. This is a semi-remote area in the Allegheny National Forest. It’s location is on top of the mountain and is accessed by two paved mountain roads from either direction. No matter which direction you enter from, it will involve a decent hill to drive up. As in most US Forest Service Campgrounds, the sites are very large. There is at least 50-75’ of forest between each site. There are a number of fresh / treated water outlets throughout the campground. There are 3 pit toilets. There are 26 non-serviced (dry) campsites in one loop. All of them are level or close to it. All are easy to back into, with a hard gravel base pad. There is a dump station, but large RV’s over 35’ will have to be careful in negotiating the turn to exit the dump station. The camping fee was $12 per night. The federal National Parks Card gets you half off that ($6). The main draw is the Hearts Content Scenic Interpretive Trail located across from the campground entrance road. It’s a trail thru a strand of old growth Hemlocks. The one hiking trail that runs next to the campground ( Wheeler Trail ) is in poor / over-grown condition. All other trails are well maintained. The campground is a place for peace and quiet. Our visit was late September with fall colors nearing their peak. There are about 23 Federal, State and COE Campground in the Allegheny National Forest. Be aware many have a limited season where they close the week of Labor Day Weekend. Near by is the Kinzue Dam and Kinzue Bridge. I gave it a four rating because I like the solitude of the location.

Chapman State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- OK, fast forward one year. In 2019 I did a "drive-thru" review. In Sept. of 2020 I stayed for a week. Over-all very impressed with the park. Very well kept, very clean bathrooms. Plenty of hiking trails. Did a lot of kayaking on the lake. At the inflow of the lake, you can paddle upstream for at least 1/4 mile. If your into biking, you can follow the old railroad grade up valley into the hunting grounds. Sept is squirrel season. Or, make a loop around the whole lake. Near by (10-45 minutes) you have Kinzua Bridge, Kinzua Dam, Hearts Content Interpretive Trail, Jakes Rock Overlook, Minster Creek Trail. In the Allegheny National Forest, which Chapman is in, there are about 20 campgrounds, from state parks, US Forest Service, private ones and some "free" sites along the forest service roads. (For tents and small RV's) The campsites themselves are: The non-pet loops which does a loop up the hill, mostly have sites that are not level. So you will have to do some light blocking. Most of them will handle a 30-35' RV. The lower pet loop, runs near the lake (no per se true lakefront sites) but 90% of those sites are fairly level. And again handle up to a 35' RV, some 45'. The site pads are fine gravel (solid surface) , which extends around the campfire rings. In the campground (Pet loop) there is a small boat launch. The fall colors come early here in the valley. Almost a month earlier than NE. Ohio where I live. In the 3rd week of Sept, we had some lows in the 30's, hence the fall colors were popping by the end of Sept. While there, the survey team was doing its work to add some full service sites in the future.

Morrow Mountain State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- Stayed here for 4 nights in mid September. There are three loops for camping with 106 sites. Only one of the loops has 22 electric sites. In the weekend all 22 electric sites were filled. In the other two non-electric loops only 5 sites each were filled during the weekend. Of the electric sites about a third had a severe slope. Another possible issue is each site is ringed with 6” x 6” posts. So that limits the size of a RV to the site. There are water faucets every 5 or so campsites. The roads are paved, but the campsites are gravel. There is one bathroom / showerhouse in each loop. Their in a need of a little TLC. There is plenty of hiking in the park. The main road into the camping area gets somewhat narrow at times. The whole state park forest does take a beating from harsh winter storms. A lot of dead fallen trees. There is a WalMart about 10 minutes from the park. Also of interest is the Reed Gold Mine exhibit about 45 minutes away. It was the first place Gold was found in the US.

Sherando Lake Recreation Area - My Rating is out of 5 -- Most US Forest Service Campgrounds do it right. Yes, this is one of them. First off. Huge level sites. “A” loops are non-electric and are limited to tents or RV’s under 28’. Of the two loops, the larger one is reserve-able. The smaller loops is first come / first serve. “B” loop had 13 “large” level sites that are not reserve-able. The week before Labor Day the sites in this loop filled up by Wednesday. Loop “C” has 16 “huge” level sites that can be reserved. Each loop has a showerhouse. If you need to fill your water tank, as you pass the beach parking lot, there is a sign directing you where to fill. In the campground loops there are water faucets every 5 campsites “but” they have a female thread. Plenty of hiking from the campground. The lake has a huge sandy beach. About 10 minutes away puts you on the Blue Ridge Parkway at about mile marker 13. The “only” way to enter the campground with a RV is from the east on 664. Continuing west on 664 for another mile you start your assent to the Blue Ridge. You Do Not Want To Drive “ANY” RV up or down this part of 664 west of the campground. No cell service in the Campground (Verizon) but one bar of LTE if you walk up the dam by loop C. The “Quality” of each campsite is best of 99% out there.

Greenbrier State Forest - My Rating is out of 5 -- Located 2-3 miles off the freeway (I-64) 5 minutes from the famous Greenbrier Resort. **** word of caution: 500’ after exiting the freeway onto the road to get into the park you will see a sign that reads “Tunnel 9’2” clearance”. Another 500’ is the tunnel. There the arched tunnel has a center height of 15’ and 14’2”. 1/3 of the tunnel is taken up with a creek. So your not able to drive completely under the 15’ sign. I was 11’6” and had at least another foot. I saw class C’s in the campground who were over 12’. The last mile to the campground is good pavement but narrow. Very little traffic on this road. It’s a small campground with maybe 16 sites. The first 5 are fairly large and level. After site #5 the upper loop has a mix of level and un- level sites. All sites are heavily wooded. There is good electric service. All sites had electric service. There are 2-3 water tank filling outlets. It is treated well water, but tasted fine. There are no dump stations here. There are good flush toilets and warm showers. Near by ( 500’ ) is a nice 18 disc golf course. Also about 3 miles away is the Greenbrier Resort. Of interest is the “Bunker Tour” they offer. In case congress came under attack in Washington DC all the US Senator and House of reps move to the bunker under the hotel wing. Active from 62’ to 92’.

Babcock State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- Babcock State Park located near the New River Gorge National River. Absolutely pristine area. The campground itself is on a forested hilltop. Surprisingly most of the 52 sites are level and with long gravel pads. There is one small loop of electric sites across the street for very large RV’s, but those are mostly sunny. The main campground has a shower-house ( older but efficient) and a dump station behind it. There are 3-4 places in the campground to fill your fresh water tank. The sites on the outer side of the loops, overlook the forest. 90% of the sites are part to full shade. The area around the campground offer loads of well marked hiking trails. The grounds in and the campground are very well kept. Nearby is a nice lake to kayak. The signature attraction in the park is the Glade Creek Grist Mill. Over a lifetime of camping I can add this to my “top 5” Campgrounds. Midweek in mid to late August there are 5 RV’s here. I’ll assume the weekend it will fill especially the 30 electric sites.

Clear Creek State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- Been coming to Clear Creek State Park for the last 20 years. One of my favorites because it is right on the Clarion River, great hiking inside the campground and home to one of our favorite restaurants (Farmer Inn) near by. The 60 sites have 50 with electric service. They range in size from huge to tiny. Most are fairly level except a few of the tiny ones where a pop-up is all you might fit. About 12- 13 are right on the river, which is great for canoeing, kayaking or inner tubing. The road into the campground ( 1.5 miles) is rather narrow with the need of a re-pavement job. From the nicely paved route 36 you turn onto route 949 for about 4 miles. Just before the campground entrance there is a rather steep 1/2 mile hill. There are a total of 3 showerhouses which are semi-modern, but I noticed the last few years are not kept as clean as when the summer youth work program kids used to do the cleaning. There are about 18 cabins near the campground also. Inside the campground there is a nature / lumbering museum. There is a small swimming lake just as you enter the park which is usually cold, but seems to be very popular on the weekends by the locals too. A lot of stonework from the CCC thru-out the park.

Kellettville Recreation Area Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- This was a "drive-thru" review late July 2019. Kellettville a is very basic dry ( non-electric camping area with one road and a turn-a-round at the end and 20 sites. Does have potable water and a dump station. ** During my visit the dump station was out of order roped off with yellow caution tape. The sites in general are average in size with some offering some privacy. Mostly sunny to partial shade sites. The site pads are either grass or some have cinders. The small river (Tionesta Creek) can be fished but so so as far as deep enough to kayak. The restrooms with showers are "so so" at best. ** ( of some of the other COE campgrounds in this region, the shower facilities were below average as far as upkeep and cleaning). The price was $12 a night mid April to the end of Sept and "free" Oct to mid April. The roads to get to the campground are somewhat small county roads. Many of the other roads in the Allegheny National Forest are gravel. The campground would hold 35' RV's if you felt comfortable driving the smaller roads to get there. You are in the Allegheny National Forest with 24 different campgrounds from State Parks, US Forest Service, COE (Corp of Engineers) and free ( mostly tent ) disbursement camping.

Deer Meadow Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- This was a drive-thru review (July 2019). Campground is primarily a seasonal RV place. There are two areas for weekend campers. Both are on a slight incline. The full service area is wide open grassy area where your RV's side wheels would need to be blocked up. Nothing crazy, but maybe 2-4". The pool seemed to be very old as was the mini golf course. The main office / store was large along with a large covered area for events. What Deer Meadows has going for it is it's ocation to Cook Forest State Park just down the street. So if you cant get a reservation at the state park, they say they always have sites available on the weekend. When I was there on a Wednesday ( in July ) there were only two RV's in the transient sites. ***Note the transient sites are only open Memorial Day to Labor Day. Fairly pricey if you ask me ($41 to $58 a night)

Chapman State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- Chapman State Park is located inside the Allegheny National Forest in NW. PA. This was a drive thru review for a future stay. The park just went thru a 2 year rehabilitation including major dam upgrade and some campground up dates. The campground got all new paved roads. In general of the two loops, one (sites 46-82) are built on a hillside meaning some of the sites are a little harder to back into, especially for RV's over 35'. The lower loop ( sites 1-42) are fairly flat. Most sites offer electric service 30-50 amp and a water faucet every 5-10 sites. The non-electric offer some open campsite and also some "walk-in" sites only for tents. The showerhouses are modern and up to date. There is a lot of hiking in the area as you are in the Allegheny National Forest. By this posting the lake should be filled back up with water.

Sauder Village RV Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- This was a "drive thru" review done in June of 2019. First off all the sites are level with the rear section of sites in the open sun. The front section having one or two trees per site. Over all the sites were fairly large especially for a private campground. Full service sites were $46 midweek and $51 weekend. Electric only sites were $34 / $37. The attraction here is the Sauder Village shops. ($18 per person) within walking distance of the campground. They have a blacksmith shop, Quilt shop, candle maker.....There is a nice restaurant called the Barn, which is outside the entrance that was very nice. I believe the campground people can use the hotel pool and hottub across from the campground road you enter on. Hard to give it a review, but the campground looked very well maintained but the $18 a person for the village was a little steep for my blood. I will give the place a solid 4 stars for being well kept and larger sites than most private campgrounds offer.

Lake Loramie State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- This was just a "drive-thru" review. (June 2019). About half the sites were full sun. Most of the sites were 90 degree back in sites with their far share of mud caused by larger RV's. getting off the paved pads. The prime sites by the lake were not reserve able. 95% of the sites were paved, As far as spacing between sites, most were decent, but 20% were close to your neighbors. There just didn't seem to be much appeal to the place. Was told a week later that many of the sites got flooded out by all the rain fall Western Ohio received in the spring and early summer of 2019.

Grand Lake St Marys State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- We stayed here for a week in mid June of 2019. The campground is divided up into main distinctive sections. One (by the pool area) are mostly "pull-thru's. The pull-thru's are somewhat short, so if you have a RV unit over say 35' there will be no room to park your toad or truck on your paved pad. And this section has no trees. The spacing between campsites was rather close. But, it is right next to the new $1.5M pool. All the sites in this section are level. There was a new shower building for this section. The other section of campsites including some full service sites is situated on a very slight hillside. Nothing crazy, but 2/3 of these sites will include the need to block up one side of your RV's wheels. The second negative is most of the sites in this section are 90 degree back in sites, so if it's wet the wheels of the RV drop into the mud off the pavement. Overall spacing between sites in this section was average to larger than average. About 3/4 of the sites in this section had widely spaced large trees offering some shade. The bathrooms and one showerhouse in this section were the old block type buildings common in Ohio State Park system. The new $1.5 pool complex with a circular slide is the star of the place. Without the pool locals say the place would only fill 50% on summer weekends, now its been full on the weekends since the pool was put in last summer (2018). Access to the lake is either by the first row of campsites or just after the pool. The lake itself had some algae bloom issues back about 4 years ago , since then it has improved, but I still would not swim in it. The water still has a green color. I did kayak in it 4 of my 7 night stay. The short hike trail is, how should say it, in very poor condition, evident of no upkeep in the last 10 years. Overall I gave the place a 4 star only because of the pool, otherwise a 3 would be a fair grade. Near by in St. Mary's there is a community park (KC Geiger Park) mini golf coarse (18 holes $2 er adult) on a very professional level. During the week days ( 10am to 2:00) the local "special needs" people run it with proceeds going to their organizational. There is also a long 18 hole disc golf course there too. In the near by town of New Bremen there is the Bicycle Museum of America. Very well done exhibit ($3 per person). The whole area running north and south is where you will find the old Miami Erie Canal with many locks in the downtown city parks. It was in operation from the 1840's to 1915 connecting the Ohio River to Lake Erie.

Grand Lake St Marys State Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- And you didn't post any pictures? or 360's... Get with the program....Always had it on our bucket list to go here. So we'll be there the first full week in June this year. Starting out 90 miles north of there (St. Mary's) at Harrison Lake State Park for a week. Might finish it up with a few days at Indian Lake State Park about a half hour east of St. Mary's.

Badin Lake Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- Drive thru (bike) review. We stayed at the USFS Arrowhead Campground 2 miles down the road. If you need a site with electric then Arrowhead is the place. All sites here are non-electric. All the sites are huge as far as size. All the sites, including the last 2-3 miles of the access road are gravel. A few of the sites are waterfront. Large shady forest setting. Nice restrooms with free showers. Water to fill your RV is available, but no dump station. You can use Arrowheads dump station 2 miles down the road. Most sites are level or close to it. When I rode thru there was no one there as it was mid-week except the camp host.

Arrowhead Campground Lake Badin (US Forest Service Uwharrie National Forest) - My Rating is out of 5 -- Semi rural, modern USFS campground at the end of a gravel road in the middle of "no where". Yes, that would be Arrowhead campground. First time there, and what a surprise. Had the place to ourselves during a mid-week 4 night stay. All the sites have paved pads. Most are fairly deep sites. The only issue is finding one that is level. I still gave it a 5 star rating, as it was very peaceful during our stay. There is a paved bike trail (hilly) / walking trail around the whole campground. It's a 5 minute walk down to the lake where there is a boat launch. The shower building is huge and well kept. Semi heavily wood forest. Dump station as you leave. Other review sites people complain about the gravel road into the park, but it's only gravel the last 1 or so. No big deal...

Apache Family Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- This is only a "walk thru" review. We camp a 1/2 mile down the beach at Myrtle Beach Travel Park, which for the same nightly site fee offers much more, a little more updated. Apache in general is a little more run down. 80% of the park is seasonal lots, which some are kind of "past their prime" in appearance. What Apache has going for it, is it's pier. So if your a fisherman, this might be your place. For both Apache and Myrtle Beach Travel Park the general location is prime. Your a mile or two from 10 restaurants, a large grocery store (Kroger's), a Walmart, mini golf, golf and gift stores.

Highline Trail RV Park - My Rating is out of 5 -- A good stopping spot about 2 hours south of Grand Teton National Park / Jackson WY. Huge sites, most with double width gravel pads. All sites are level. The shower building was very clean as was the laundry facilities. Visited the 3rd week in May and only a few in the park. Being in a wide open area / field, it could be vulnerable to high winds. Set back far enough from the road to not be an issue.

Norris Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- This was only a "drive-thru" review. First off, over-all the sites are mostly un-level. Very few campsites would handle a 25' or larger RV unit because of the way the sites we cut into the hill. As far as location, it is near the Norris Geyser Basin and not too far from the middle of the park.

Tower Fall Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- Small campground in the Northern part of Yellowstone. Very un-even sites in general. Sites are more for tents and RV's under 20-25'. Sites do look like they get a lot of use.

Schoodic Woods Campground - My Rating is out of 5 -- The campground is fairly new from the ground up. Sites in "A" loop are for RV units under 25'. the site there are on level ground so all the sites in that loop are level. "Electric in this loop except for the "tent" only sites. B" loop up to 45'. RV's in mostly huge pull-thru sites. This loop is built on a slight hillside. So the sites are level or close to it. Sites in "B" have electric and water at each site. There are 4 brand new restrooms. On each restroom outer wall is a WiFi repeater, so about half the campground has decent Wi-Fi. There is a new gravel bike trail running thru the campground and around the whole Schoodic peninsula. The free shuttle bus picks you up at the check in station. It takes you around the whole peninsula. Place to eat the Pickled Wrinkle. Eat there 3 times over our week stay. ** there are no showers in this park. Yes, there is a dump station. Is the nicest National park campground we have ever stayed at. Go here if you want to relax after a busy week on the main Acadia / Bar Harbor area.

Chena River State Recreation Area - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- This is a series of 3 separate campgrounds all located on Chena Hot Springs rd over about 15 miles. All are dry camping, with only non-potable water and no dump stations. First up at mile marker 27 is Rosehip. 37 nice large sites able handle 45' rigs on all level gravel pads. In a semi-wooded setting. The campground was redone a few years ago. Next up is Garnite Tors at mile marker 39. It has 24 sites of medium to large size. Mostly wooded setting. Trailhead to Granite Tors trail. Moose in the area, beware. Last is a small one called Red Squirrel at mile marker 43. It has 12 sites suitable mostly for tent campers. There is a nice grassy area for the tents.

Chena Hot Springs Resort - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Dry camping at 24 sites. There is potable water and a dump station. In general the sites are rather small and not that appealing. There is one loop that goes back in the woods that I'm amazed how RVers can even get there rigs into. The sites near the main parking lot are more open. It's a 2 minute walk over to the resort and hot springs which are up and above the $20 a night camping fee. ( hot springs $15 adult, $12 youth) (2018 prices). It's located at the end of the 60 mile Chena Hot Springs road or 75 miles from Fairbanks on a nice two lane paved road with some frost heaves here and there.

Dry Creek State Recreation Site - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Nice quite campground with good spacing between sites. About 35-40 sites, including a few nice pull-thru's. All sites are level gravel pads. All dry camping. There is a water tank available, but I don't think it is for drinking. There is a dump station. even 40-45' RV's could fit as the access road is nice a wide. We were there the 3rd week in August and it was 1/4 filled. Good Low Bush Cranberry picking towards the end of August into Sept.

Allision Point Campground - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Location location location...If the salmon are running...this is where you want to be. Unless you need electric and sewer. (dry camping only here) I believe it is city owned. Fish off the back of your RV in the Bay of Valdez. Yes, you are just paying for a parking spot. Level sites on gravel. Some sites have a small fire ring, but not all. There is two 500 gallon fresh water tanks to fill up jugs, but "NOT" to fill your RV's tanks. There is a so so pit toilet. If it wasn't for the access to fishing I would give it a 2 star. But with the fishing location and the views of the mountains across the bay, I'll give it a 4 star.

Bayside RV Park - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Small compact campground located about a 5 minute walk from the Valdez docks. The RV's are very close together on a level gravel lot. A little too close together for me. Was surprised how the large 40'+ RV's were able to back into a site. Yes, it's location is key here.

Eagle’s Rest RV Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Yes, a large gravel parking lot. But, seems to have room than the campground across the street (Bayside). All sites are level with up to date electrical service. Plenty of room to swing even your large 45' diesel pusher in. Restrooms and laundry were very clean. About a 10 minute walk to the Valdez docks. There is a nice sized grocery store one block away. Also a gas station next door. A solid 4 stars... If price was the same I would stay here rather than the other campground across the street.

Blueberry Lake State Recreation Site - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- 24 campsites, near the top of Thompson Pass. The excess road into the campground is very narrow. The sites are hit and miss as far as being level and large enough for a RV over 25'. There might be just a few for a larger unit. You are on tundra, to cranberries and blueberries abound. Could be windy as it is somewhat exposed. The week before Labor Day there were only a few camper in the park. I'll give it 3 stars only for the location and the views.

Whittleton Campground - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Yes, there is a lot to do in the area. There are two small-ish campgrounds. The first Whittleton is rather tight. Most of the sites are for RV's under 25' - 30'. Offers both electric and primitive sites. This are area is known to flood. The second a mile down the road Middlefork is for larger RV units. Still on the river, but sits a little higher up on the bank. Offers mostly water / electric sites with a few primitive ones on the hill. Between the two both pack a lot of RV's close together. Giving it a 4 star because there is a good deal of hiking in the area. Also: mini golf, playgrounds, picnic areas, resort lodging, chair lift ride to the "Natural Bridge".

Loft Mountain Campground - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Another National Park campground on Skyline Drive. Fairly large campground with a little over 200 sites. Just a reminder this is a non-electric campground. The few sites that can be reserved are not very level over-all. The sites that are first come first serve offer better level sites. Most are nice and private. The AT Trail goes around the whole campground. Without many big cities nearby, a reservation is really not needed unless it is a holiday weekend. The pay showers are a good walk from the sites, so you may want to drive your car there. Yes, there is a dump station.

Lewis Mountain Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Nice small campground on the top of Skyline Drive. Since your at 3400' it will be 10-20 degrees cooler than the valley below. This is a non-electric campground. About 30 sites from small sites for a tent or pop-up to larger ones for maybe a 30' RV. Right on the AT trail. full to semi-wooded. There pay showers here, but no dump station.

Mohican Adventures Campground & Cabins - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- This is where all the weekend RVers go. The main goal here is to pack in as many RVers / tents / cabins as possible per acre. Yes, the holiday weekends here are packed. To be fair to the average outdoors family looking to escape the city, this is the place for them. Located across the street from the canoe liveries, mini golf, go carts it's location is prime. If you like crowds, you will be at home here. Almost all the RV sites in the back of the campground are pull-thru's, but they are fairly close together. The RV sites in the front of the park are 90 degree back in sites with average swing room or less for your tow vehicle. The tent sites by the main road (state route 93) are very close together with a lot of road noise. The tent sites up the hill into the woods, offer more room. The downside is unless you drive you vehicle back down, it is a steep walk to the lake or pool. I'm only giving it a 2 star rating only because personally I would never stay here as the state park campground (Mohican State Park) is a 1/2 mile down the road with far more room per site.

Fort Caspar Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- I would say this campground is mostly used as a work camp for local oil workers. and other full-timers All sites are level. Bathrooms are nice and clean. It is one big gravel parking lot. Average space between RV's. Can be very windy here as many campgrounds are in WY. a little more so here as there are not many trees to break the path of the wind.

Mammoth Cave Campground - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- This is a non-electric campground located about a 10 minute walk from the Visitor Center at Mammoth Caves National Park. Has 4 loops, with I believe only one that can be reserved. The problem is the one loop that can be reserved, the sites are rather un-level in general. If you do have to reserve, the high numbered sites in this loop are you best bet (sites 35-53). The next loop ( sites 1-10) are mostly group sites. The last two non-reservable loops (sites 54 - 111) are much better as far as finding a site for your RV trailer or class A, B or C that is level and larger enough. Many in these two loops are pull-thru's. Good spacing between sites. 90% of the sites are fairly heavily shaded. Bathrooms are older, but fairly clean. The pay showers are up front by the check-in station, along with a nicely stocked store where they sell alcohol too. There is WiFi by the check-in station. Been here a number of times the last 30 years.

My Old Kentucky Home - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Small campground with basically one loop. Sort of built on a hillside so many of the sites are not level. There also very short in general. There are many sites where a large tree will make it hard to back into a site. The bathroom / shower building was older, but was clean. There is a golf course right next door.

Cannon Mountain RV Park - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- A small RV ( 7 sites) at the rear of a parking lot at the entrance of the Cannon Mtn Ski Area. Yes, they are full service sites. The plus is that you are right on the 7-8 mile paved bike trail. And across the street there is a hiking trail to a lookout down the valley towards the Franconia Notch and overlooking the Cannon Ski Area. You are also next to the beach area. I believe if your staying here you don’t have to pay the beach access fee. Negative is you are close together and noise from people parking for the beach and hiking.

MainStay Cottages & RV Park - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Very small campground with excellent views of the harbor. About 10-11 sites. I believe all the sites are full service. Negative would be because the electric, water and sewer is set up in a way that two sites share the utilities side to side. So you are right next to each other. Was $48 per night. 5 minute walk to 3-4 restaurants, the free Acadia National Park bus stop is right next door at the marina. Or you can take the ferry over to Bar Harbor ($20-26).

Blackberry Crossing Campground - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Small US Forest Service Park ( 23 tent and RV sites ). No dump station. The one water source is a hand pump. Vault toilets. The front loop is very close to the road ( route 112 ).

Passaconaway Campground - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Another US Forest Service campground. Small campground (33 sites) with two loops. You do get some toad noise from route 112 near by. Most sites are shady with a few semi-sunny ones. All dry campsites. Vault toilets. There is fresh water in the campground. This is a first come, first serve campground.

Jigger Johnson Campground - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Only if you like “dry” camping, this park is for you. ( US Forest Service campground). Huge , huge sites. Almost all the RV sites you can fit. 45’ RV motorhome. I’m going to count this as one of my favorite parks. Sites are all level. Good separation between sites. Some of the sites in the rear loop ( outer ones ) there is a small clear stream that is about 100-200’ in back of the sites. Most sites are shady or semi-shady. This past winter ( 2017-2018) they did take out some of the old Red Pines for safety sake. This effected about a 1/3 of the campsites. In only in a way that a few years of growth will fill in. There is “NO” dump station here. There are fresh water faucets about every 10 campsites but some don’t have a threaded connection, some do. There is a pay ($2.50) shower building at the front of the campground. Near by (5-10 minutes) there are a number of water falls. Also many trailheads near by. No, zip, zero, nada, none or any cell service here. Far from “any” city ( 12 Miles) do the night sky is star filled.

Seawall Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Another Acadia National Park Campground located about 20-30 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor. The quiet side of the island. This is a dry campground. The sites for the RV section ( under 35’) are for the most part level or close to it. Of the 4 streets for RV’s one of them is for “shared” sites, meaning two RVing units in one wide site with a white painted line down the middle of the gravel pad. Sites range from full shade to mostly sunny. Water and dump station in the park. No showers in campground. The “free” Acadia bus does make a stop here at Seawall. It is a 5 minute walk to the water from the Check in station. Otherwise the RV section is in the rear of the campground. The sites themselves are a little run down. The fire rings were in poor condition.

Blackwoods Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- If you like “dry” camping this campground is up your alley. The tent sites here are very nice and large and mostly level. I believe over 200 sites, where 80% are for tents. Only 4 streets are for RV’s under 35’. And of those, only 2 streets of about 12-15 sites are level. The other two streets of RV sites offer “some” challenges to get into a level position. The whole campground is very heavily wooded and the 4 RV streets are rather tight with trees near the roadway. The sites themselves are fine are far as size. There are no showers in the campground but in the nearby town ( 2 miles) there are paid showers. There is a dump station, and fresh water available in the campground and there are water outlets near each bathroom which are modern flush toilets. Added pluses to this campground are: it is a 5 minute walk to the ocean. The “free” Acadia bus stops in the campground that will take you all over the island including downtown Bar Harbor which can have limited parking. Even in mid September the campground stayed fairly full. I gave it 3 star rather than a 4 because more effect could have been made to offer more “level” sites for RV’s.

Lafayette Place Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Almost a cross between a national park campground and a state park. About a 100 sites more or less build into a hillside. 95% are mostly to full shaded campsites. Some level many that are not. Everything from campsites for tents to 10 or 15 that “might” fit a 25’ RV trailer. The issue is it may be a good sized site, but you don’t have the swing room to get into. Pop-up trailers you will have no issues. There are a few flush restrooms and one “Pay” shower building. Pulling a trailer you will have to pay close attention to low hanging tree branches. There are plenty of water faucets around the campground. This area is the hot spot for trail hiking as there are 5-6 trails leading out of the campground including the AT. Being close to I-93 you do get some freeway traffic noise. If your a tent camper, it will rate much higher. As far as a place for RV’s you are very limited.

Fransted Family Campground - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Yes, finally a 5 Star campground. Everything here is very clean and organized. Plenty of things to do for the kids. About a mile off I-93. The front 1/3er of the campground consists of grassy open sites split between seasonal and weekend full service sites for any size RV. The middle third is a mix of wooded sites for RV’s under 35’ and tents. Here there is a mix of dry, W/E and a few full service. The back third past the small creek is all wooded and mostly for dry camping tents and maybe small RV’s. All the wooded sites offer good privacy between sites. The road they the woods is narrow, but they have done a good job of tree trimming. Shower building very well cared for. Individual shower rooms. The over all grounds are well cared for. The only possible hit as mentioned on other review sites is their “strict” set of rules. If you have a problem following rules, you might think twice. I have no issues.

Branbury State Park Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Average sized VT state park divided into two totally different types of campsites. The ones near the beach are basically a grass field with campsites along the wood line. There is a showerhouse there. The other campsites are across the road into the deep woods up and around some tight roads and hills ( all paved ). Of the 15 or so RV sites, only 4-5 would accommodate RV’s over 25’. Shower house here too. There is a dump station by the beach section.

Button Bay State Park - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Average size Vermont State Park. Only one or two campsites have a view of the lake. There are two loops, each one has a few lean-2’s. Most of the RV sites are sunny sites with parking on grass pads more in a open field format. There are about 6 or 7 site that you have some privacy. In the loop closest to the lake some sites do have a tree or two to give a little shade. There is a set of wooden steps to get down to the waters edge. Otherwise you drive about a half mile to a boat launch area. One restroom / shower building in each loop ( Pay showers 50 for 5 minutes).

Gifford Woods State Park - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Nice small 2 loop campground located 1/3 of a mile from the Killington Ski Area Access Road. The Appalachian Trail runs right thru the campground, so there are many hiking options right out you back door. One mile up the AT it intersects with Vermont’s Long Trail. The campground has 18 sites per loop. But half the sites are Lean-2’s or small cabins. There might be 3-4 for 30’ -35’ RV’s. Otherwise the remainder of the RV sites are perfect for small class C’s or B’s or 15’-20’ trailers. Very clean restrooms and pay showers ( 50 cents for 5 minutes). There is fresh water fill and a dump station in the lower loop. Kent Lake is across the street for kayaking or canoeing. The city of Rutland is 12 minutes away. You are near a mountain pass so your at 1650’ in the campground.

D.A.R. State Park - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Small campground consisting of mostly a large grassy area with one tree per campsite. Some campsite were level ( grass campsites) while others were somewhat unlevel. The lower loop ( nearest the lake ) be careful as there are some low hanging trees that would affect RV’s over 10’ tall.

Anchor River State Recreation Area - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- The Anchor River State Rec. Area has 5 small campgrounds within a mile section of Anchor Point rd. We stayed at the last one (Halibut) which is on the ocean. Had about 15 sites. If you like dry camping, you will like it here. Washroom (vault) was very clean. 30 second walk to the beach. Nice private sites with fire ring and table. Anchor Point is the most westerly point on the North American continent accessible by a continuous road system". Means you can't drive further west without taking a boat in all of North America. If you walk out onto the beach at low tide you can walk for about 1/4 mile maybe more. Just be careful, when the tide comes in, it comes in fast. 3 of the other 5 campgrounds are mainly when the Steelhead are biting and are basically parking lots.

Seaview Cafe RV Park - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Great location right on the waterfront of the Turnagain Arm AK. During the summer months reservations are needed. About 20-25 sites, some dry, some with electric. No fresh water, showerhouse or dump station. Basically a parking lot separated by telephone poles. This is a fishing location when the salmon are running. Only 3 stars because of it's prime locvation. Otherwise a 1 or 2. As of 2017: $20 for a dry site, $25 for electric site.

Savage River Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Savage River Campground is located at mile marker 12.8 of the Denali Park Road. 32 dry campsites. Semi-private campsites located on a slight hillside. The issue is as in many of the federal campgrounds are all the 8" x 8" posts limiting your ability to back into a site. Yes, there are some pull thru site's but a 35' would be hard pressed to get into. One advantage is being on the park road there is a shuttle stop at this location. Both flush and pit toilets. No showers or dump station. The dump station is 12 miles away at the park entrance. Fresh water tanks can be filled also at the park entrance. There is fresh water (potable) but not for filling tanks. Because of it location I bumped it up one star, but deleted one because of the tight sites.

Harrison Lake State Park Campground - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- I will say this is a very nice park. Very well taken care of. 182 sites, with 149 having electric service. Sites for the most part are above average in size. Most are level or very close to it. A lot of mowed grassy areas in and around each campsite. One thing that stands out is almost all the sites have a lot of space / open area behind each site. Most sites have at least 2-3 trees of medium size or larger. So 90% of the sites have some to mostly shady locations. But the trees are far enough away as to not interfere with your awning. One main showerhouse that was very clean. And a number of the other washroom buildings. Then are a number of modern playgrounds around the campground. Also a 9 hole disc golf course. I give very few parks a 5 star rating and this one fully deserves it. Your kind of in the middle of farming community, not many close by entertainment options. The lake is 105 acres with a swimming beach, dog beach and picnic shelters.

La Grande Rendezvous RV Resort - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Nice city campgrond about a 1/2 mile from the freeway exit. All level sites with gravel pads. A streets are paved and nice and wide. I believe all 99 sites are pull-thrus with full service except 9 tent sites. Each site seems to have one or two shade trees. Site sizes range from semi close together to well spaced sites. Visited during the off season ( late Oct.) where the park was mostly full. Seems to be a base area for workers in the surrounding areas high rent market. Campground was 90% full. Overall park grounds were well kept. The shower / laundry building was clean and a little older. Free "good" Wi-Fi. Good 4 bar LTE Verizon service. The only negative was "some" freeway noise, effecting sites closer to the freeway. Walmart 1/2 mile away. $34 for a full service site with a Good Sam discount. Spent 3 nights here late Oct.

Kyllonen RV Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Small campground located "near" a Steelhead fishing area. When the fish are running, I'm sure the 25 campsite / full service place will be full. They claim fishing is right at your doorstep. Not being a fisherman, I believe the "fishing" is about 500-1000' away down a path. With in a mile are 4 small Alaska State Park campgrounds that are right on the river, but are non-serviced dry camping. The gravel sites themselves are rather short in general but all are level with a good solid base. The back in sites over looking the marsh (looking north) two sites share one 20' wide gravel pad with separate utilities . Not sure how that would work out if two campers back into the shared pad. Would work if one RV unit is a trailer and the other is a class A, B or C where they can pull in straight. The other south facing full / service back in sites are short or average in length. I would say 35' would be pushing it. When we were there with only one other RVer, so a 40' - 45' rig might be able to be parked because of more room to back in. WiFi was said to be fairly good here. The Office was real neat with some supplies. They also had a fish cleaning station. The sites range from $44 to $49. If you need a full service and WiFi site, this is about your only option in Anchor Point area. There are 5 small State park campgrounds with in a 2 mile section of Anchor Point Rd, ( total of 185 sites) but all are non-serviced sites. I will bet all will be filled when the fish are running. I'll give the place a 4 star because this is the only serviced campground in the area and over-all fairly clean looking. ** Beware there is a 13' 2" steel girder bridge about a mile before the campground.

Roads End RV Park - My Rating is 1 out of 5 -- I believe this campground is no longer open. This would be as of August of 2016. Drove by and it looks over-grown and abandoned. You closest option would be 5 miles north off Badger Rd. to a nice campground called Riverview RV Park (907-488-6392)

Elkhart Campground - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Spent two nights here on our return trip from Alaska. As most people know the Elkhart / Goshen area is the mecca for RV manufacturing, especially RV trailers. Elkhart Campground is very conveniently located about 2-3 minutes from the main Elkhart exit. It's just north of the freeway / Indiana toll road in a country setting. It butts up near the freeway, but is far enough away as to filter out 90% of the traffic noise. At one time it looks like it was a KOA. The whole campground is flat, so all sites will be level. All campground roads are firm gravel. I would say its a 50 / 50 mix of shady sites and open sunny spots, leaning towards more of the full service sites being sunny. If I remember right all sites are grass pads. They seemed fairly firm, but I did see a one or two large rigs get a little muddy leaving their site. About 75% of the sites are pull-thru's. And about 70% are full service sites. On average the sites fairly large. The pull-thru's are long enough that if you wanted to keep your toad attached, it would still fit in your site without disconnecting. Full service sites ran $39-43 a night which is about average for the Midwest. They do honor Good Sam 10% discount. The facilities are a little on the older side, but well kept. The electric / water connections looked older, but even with a fairly full campground never had power issues, but this was in mid Sept without the AC running. There are a lot of "rallies" that are scheduled here as it's a good location so close to the following: Downtown Elkhart, RV factory tours, RV Hall of Fame, RV salvage stores and your general Amish gift shops and restaurants. They had a large meeting hall which our group (IRV2.com) used for our rally of about 90 rigs. The shower building was like I said "older" but very clean and spacious. The mini golf was older looking but had new carpets. The pool was closed but look very inviting. Overall I have been to some older once branded KOA campgrounds that were well past there prime, where as Elkhart Campground you can see they made a good effort to keep the standards up with what they have. For that I will give them a 4 star.

Sunrise Campground - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Travelers have two options to stay East of Bozeman off I-90, either Sunrise or Bear Canyon campgrounds. Some other review sites will say if your a light sleeper, Sunrise will have more train noise than Bear Canyon which sits on a hill a little further from the train tracks. Having stayed at Bear Canyon on our trip up to AK., we decided to try Sunrise on the return. Yes, there were a bunch of trains, but really didn't bother us. Freeway noise seemed to go away after 7pm. Easy to get to, only a few hundred feet off I-90. Yes, the campground backs up to the freeway with the few tent sites being the closest to the tree buffered freeway edge. Most of the sites are fairly long pull-thru's with 50 amp full service with average space or less between them. The pull-thru's had a gravel surface, while a few of the other sites back-in were grass sites. All sites are level. The restrooms and shower building were clean as advertised. Even for mid-week in mid September the place was full. If I remember the pull-thru sites here were about $10 less that Bear Canyon's pull-thru's

Squirrel Creek State Recreation Site - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Located at mile marker 80 on the Richardson Hwy. which is 80 miles north of Valdez AK. Set back off the Richardson hwy. enough to buffer against much road noise. Sites (25) are a variety of back in, pull-thru and parking lot types. All are dry (non serviced) sites. There is a small pond backing up to some sites on the south side of the campground and the Squirrel Creek on the north side. The pit toilets are very clean. The roads thru the campground are a little narrow. There is a loop that takes you thru the whole campground for a look / see, but if you have a 40' RV ( or larger) with a toad I would stop near the front and walk thru first. All sites are level and solid gravel. When we were there we were the only ones, but come fishing runs I'm going to assume that might be different. The location is nice if your looking for a over-night stop and want the added security of a organized area. Giving it a 2 stars for the reason of limited services...

Kenny Lake Mercantile & RV - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Stayed here one night while returning north from Valdez. Located 7 miles from the main (north / south) Richardson Hwy. down a nicely paved road (Edgerton Hwy.) with vast views of Wrangell-St. Elias mountain range and valley. The campground suits it's purpose of providing most of a RVers needs being so far from a real city. Nice stocked grocery store, gift shop, laundry, dump station, water fill and gas and diesel ($$$). The electric (30 amps) sites ( about 10 sites) are on gravel like parking lot and are level and plenty of room to back into. The only issue is they back up near the road. Since this is the main road out of Wrangell St. Elias and McCarthy / Kennicott you do get some road noise. The other 10 are non serviced sites set back in the woods farther away from the road in a nice wooded area. Too bad there was no electric service there. They are nice and private sites, mostly pull-thru's. The Wi-Fi they claim can't be received from the campsites. But if you sit on the porch by the store you can get something done. The showers are "pay" showers. For campers the dump and water fill are included. I think we paid $35 for a electric site. Main reason we stayed here was to do our laundry which the locals used also. Very nice laundry facilities. Normally this would be a 3 star rating, but with the services offered in this remote section of Alaska, I'll give it a 4 star rating...

Tok River State Campground - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- First off, if your at all bothered by "road noise" don't stop here. Some of the campsites back up within 25' - 50' of the Alcan. The other side of the loop is maybe 150' form the road. #2 issue at least when we came thru (early Sept 2016) , was the gravel campground roads were full of chuckholes. Not just the ones you can drive around here and there, but so many you had to take the path of least resistance as to not tear up your rig. There are a variety of sites from tent sites, back-in sites and pull-thru's. There is one well water pump. the pit toilets were clean. Because of where this campground is located on the river, I'm guessing when the fish are running this place gets filled. Between a one star and two, I'll go ahead and give it a two just because there is a number of sites to fit larger rigs. The pull-thru's are fairly long to handle a 40' motorhome and a toad.

Moon Lake State Recreation Site - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Just west of Tok Alaska on the Alcan this easy to get to state park/state rec. site is set along a nice lake. There is a small beach area with grills and tables. Also a simple boat launch. The campground has about 15 dry sites, many against the lake shore. The access road from the Alcan was between 1/4 and 1/2 mile long down a small hill. The campground is split into 2 lanes going each way along the shoreline. There is one pit toilet which was very clean. There is a camp host cabin and campsite, but from the overgrowth around it, I'm assuming it has not been used in some time. Some of the sites are ones you can just pull up to along the lake shore, while others are cut into the trees as back in sites. The one camping book has it listed with fresh water available, but I cant remember seeing any water outlets. Really not a bad place to spend the night for $15. Looking out over the lake, or jumping in your kayak for a paddle is very easy from the water front sites that sit level with the waters edge.

Delta State Recreation Site - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- For a quick stop over halfway between Tok Alaska and Fairbanks, Delta State Rec Campground is fine. It's located on the north side of the Richardson Hwy at Mile Marker 267 just NW. of Delta Junction Business section. Be forewarned, Delta Junction gets a lot of wind. Their little newspaper is called "Delta Wind". The campground has 24 dry sites in one back and forth loop. Mostly shaded sites. The campground road is nice and wide even for 45' rigs. The sites range from tent sites to back in and pull-thru sites for RV's up to 45'. All sites are level. There was at least one water fill station with city water that has a threaded fitting. The only down side here is the road noise. There is a small picnic area near the road, then the camp sites start behind that. Delta Junction is the official end to the Alcan (Alaska Hwy.) If you get one of the sites near the rear of the loop the road noise is greatly reduced. It was a toss up between 2 or 3 stars. I'll give it a 3 star only for the fact of it's location of being at the junction of Alcan and the Richardson Hwy. and being able to get "fresh" water out of a threaded faucet. Trust me. Unless your camping at "all" private full service campgrounds in Alaska, "fresh" water good enough to fill your RV's water tank for showers and washing dishes is sometimes a 100 miles apart or more. There are many resources both printed and online that offer a good database on locations for dump stations and water filling locations in Alaska, Yukon and BC.

Donnelly Creek State Recreation Site - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Small state run campground halfway between Delta Junction and the turn off at Paxson for the Denali Hwy. There are 12 campsites where most will only fit a RV under 20' or 25' at best. There is one pull-thru maybe for a 30' RV. There wasn't any camp host there when we visited. It is set back from the Richardson hwy about 500 feet. It's located at the Mile Post 238 of the Richardson Hwy. If your a large RV over 35' I would not even attempt to drive thru the campground as the gravel road is somewhat narrow. There is not much traffic on the Richardson at this point, so road noise should not be a problem. The vault toilets were very clean. Behind the campsites on one side is a river gravel bar. The sites have semi shade. Gave it a 2 star only because if you like a place all to yourself and the bears, this is the place.

Big Delta State Historical Park - My Rating is 1 out of 5 -- As far as camping, this location is your basic parking lot used for when the fish are running. The sites are very close together where you may not even be able to open up your slide. There looks to be only one picnic table per 5 parking spots. Even the tent sites then is not much room. The 3 positives are: there is a dump station here, there is fresh water to fill your tank. And Rika's Roadhouse Museum and grounds give a good history of how roadhouses played a major role in the transportation system thruout the 19th century. But as far as a rating, one star is only because of the parking lot experience most lower 48 RVers would see it as.

Homer Baycrest KOA - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Paid $50 for a "small" full service site ( with a Good Sam discount) about 2-3 miles from the Homer Spit. Was advertised as the best view in Alaska over looking the Cook Inlet. Sites are fairly tight. Negotiating the lower loop with a large RV might involve added skills. Yes the view is nice. Would be nicer if the bushes were trimmed down just on the other side of the fence at the back of each site. Don't get site 27 because its tough to get into and you get a good deal of road noise. The entrance is located next to the Tesoro Gas Station.

Alaska Dacha - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Small compact campground about a mile from Hope tourist area. Average sized small sites. Maybe 10-12 sites both electric ($25)and full service ($40). They did have the "only" laundrymat in Hope. The campsites were mostly grass. They did have a small store too.

Fishing Hole Campground - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- If want a place to crash after fishing at the "Fishing Hole" next door this is your $15 parking lot. This is a city of Homer lot. Or you can opt for the "full service" private parking / campground for $68 (Heritage Park) on the other side of the Fishing Hole. If your looking for a quieter place to park, try the other city of Homer park Mariner Park 1-1/2 miles north on the spit road. A few of the sites butt up to Kachemak Bay. The others site are down two lows. One row for larger RV's. The other row for class C's or smaller RVs. There is a public fish cleaning station right there. All parking spaces are gravel. The gravel is on a rather larger size, so some people will have to watch their footing. There is a public bathroom there. As is a dump station ($5). With all the fish cleaning activity, there is a rotten fish smell in the air. The main shopping and eating spots on the spit are 1000' away an easy walk. Can and will be real busy later in the day. There always seemed to be plenty of sites available. Normally I would give such a place like this one star. But because of its location by all the action I'll up grade it to two stars.

Heritage RV Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Very nice "parking lot" / campground on the Homer Spit. The parking spot spaces are a little larger than the average campground that has parking lot type campsites. The grounds were well kept. The camp store was well stocked and very clean. They had so so WiFi in the campground, but there were also 3 computers inside you could use. Nice coffee shop. There was a nice covered porch with views over Kachemac Bay (east ward). Yes it is right next to the only road on the spit, so road noise "can" be a issue till 9-10 in the evening. It located right nice door to the "Fishing Hole" a very popular fishing spot. All sites are full service ($68 + tax). Because of its location and the larger parking spots I'll upgrade it to a 4 star. Not my type of camping, but nice views of water and mountains.

Mariner Park - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- City run parking lot. Nothing more nothing less. About 12 spaces you can pull up right to the beach. The other side has about 15 spots right up against the spit road. Yes, you are going to hear "road noise" because the Spit Rd is the the only road to the Homer Spit. The plus is, it's only $15 for a dry site, where as the other private campgrounds on the spit are $50 - $80 for electric or full service. There were two portable toilets. There is a dump station near by. Not sure if it's free or $5. There are also some spots for tents. Verizon was 3G but not so good. Only giving it 2 stars because it is beach front looking out into the Cook Inlet.

Miller’s Landing - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Down a bad chuck holed gravel road just south of Seward. They have about 10 water view sites and about 15-20 very wooded tent / small RV trailer sites. Where the campground is located on the bay it is a very gradual slope between high & low tide, where the city of Seward waterfront is rather steep. Still a very basic campground. Yes a good deal of the sites have electric. There is also a laundry. There is no dump station here. Unless you really needed a electric site, the gravel road will keep many from ever going here. Campground in general was somewhat unkept. Only giving it a 2 star because campground 1/2 mile down the road (Silver Derby) was bearly a one star.

The Silver Derby Campground & RV Park - My Rating is 1 out of 5 -- If you "like" your RV don't go here. The last mile or so down the badly "chuck holed" gravel road will tear your RV up. Second, sites are very limited. Even the sites for tents are tight. Bearly qualifies as a campground. But some people might like it here away from the city of Seward Waterfront Campground with all the people.

Waterfront Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- First off the City Waterfront Park is made up of 10 sections spread out over about a 3/4 mile of mostly waterfront campsites. Each is a little different, some with electric, but most just dry sites. Each section has a self pay kiosk that accepts cash or credit cards. It then issues you a paper ticket. There are no reserved sites except when a caravan group is in town, which is usually 10-30 of the 99 electric sites. There is one central town (2 hole) dump station ($5). There also a number of places to fill your water tank. The 99 electric sites also have a water faucet at each site. All sites are basically gravel parking lot, except the two sections that are for tents and those include some grass and some trees for shade. Here is a short dicription of each section from north to south: ~ Harborside About 26 dry sites close to the harbor. Half waterfront, the others just behind. ~ Alice Campground 12 dry sites. Same as above ~ Marathon 49 dry sites, most waterfront ~ Obihiro Park about 50 dry sites inside a ball diamond. All gravel ~ Williams Park. 30 dry sites for tents and small RV's under 20'. Good shade for tents, but also a hilly location for RV's. Across the street front water. ~ Resurrection North 14 dry sites, most set back 100' from the waterfront ~ Resurrection 60 electric sites with water. Split up into 4 rows, one row being waterfront. ~ Resurrection South 85 sites. About 20 electric & water the rest dry. Split up into 4 row with one being waterfront. There is also flush toilets here and showers (2 men, 2 women) $2 for 10 minutes. ~ Tent Area 22 large dry tent sites. Very close to waterfront. ~ Railway Ave. ( not sure what they call this one). The only one that looks out due South across Resurrection Bay. 9 dry sites right next to the Sealife Center. ~ Forest Acres is north of town and not near the water. It has 44 dry sites. All waterfront sites are level and there are up to 45' RV's in the 3 large "Resurrection" sections. The sites back from the waterfront ones can have a slight slope or be level. Each section has a dumpster and a portable toilet. Fees are $10 for tent sites, dry sites are $20 and electric & water ones are $40. Power was good Since there are no reservations, arriving early ( noon) one should find a site. Most people stay 1-4 days except the waterfronts RVers tend to stay the max 14 days. The campground is about location location location. 10 minute walk to the restaurants or Sealife Center. There is a paved bike way in front of the whole bay including the waterfront campsites. Large Safeway grocery store about 1/2 mile away. Boat tours and fishing charters close by (1000') Ill give it 4 star only because of its waterfront location.

Black Bear Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- This small state park is located right next door to the much larger Williwaw US Forest Service Campground. On the road (Portage Glacier Rd) the enterance is about 1/4 mile before Williwaw. Once in each campground there is a all propose Boardwalk / bike trail that connects each other. This Boardwalk "Trail of Blue Ice" starts about 2 miles west of here and ends a mile and a half away at the Begich Boggs Visitor Center. You will pass 3 different glaciers as you hike or bike this level trail. The campground is for tents or RV's under 20-25'. All roads and campsites are gravel, where as it's next door neighbor (Williwaw) has paved roads and sites. All sites are heavily wooded. There are only pit toilets here. Normally I would have given this type of campground 2 stars, but because of the bike path and the campgrounds close proximity to the Portage Glacier, Begich Boggs (USF) Visitor Center and the Whittier Tunnel, I'll bump it up to 3 stars.

Byers Lake Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Easy stop over about a hour and a half south of Denali off the George Parks Highway. Has 73 sites set down 4 roads. A mix of tent and RV sites. They even had some pull thru sites for RV's under 40'. Good spacing between sites. The last two roads seem to have the larger sites. They had a pit toilet in the middle of each street. There was only one well water hand pump by the pay station. There was a dump station and fresh water fill station located as you enter the campground ($5). Very rare for a Alaska State Park to have a dump station and fresh potable water. The lake was smooth as glass. One thing that was a negative here was the large and many chuck holes in all the roads in the campground. Also of note is this is a known bear area. If not for all the chuckholes I would have given it a 4 star.

Williwaw Campground - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- One of the first US Forest Service campgrounds we have stayed at to have paved campground roads and paved sites. Very good spacing between sites. Most have a bunch of trees and bushes between sites as to not see anyone. Most (90%) of the sites were long enough for 40' RV's. I think every site looked level. As you enter the camping area, the camp host has a dry erase board of available sites if you don't have a reservation. A believe about 1/2 the sites can be reserved, the others are "first come first service". One note: on the road coming to the park (Portage Valley Rd) there wasn't any sign before you hit the actual campground enterance. Within about a half mile section there are 3 forest service driveways ( Black Bear Campground, fish viewing platform and Walliwaw). The campground has two loops for a total of 60 sites. There are a number of newer pit toilets. There were at least 4 hand pumps for water. The well water at least looked clean. Each site had a huge picnic table and triangle shaped fire rings. There is no electric here or any dump station. Good spot over before after a trip to the Seward or Homer. There is a nice bike path that runs about 4 miles along the valley called "Trail of Blue Ice". The campground butts up against the mountain right by "Middle Glacier". Yes, a few of the sites have a direct view of the glacier. At the end of the bike trail is the Begich Boogs Visitor Center. Also Portage Lake and the tunnel to Whittier. The valley is known to be a little windy. The first night we didn't notice any bugs, but the 2nd night when the winds were calm we had a "fly" issue. Not bad, but enough to keep my son indoors. The bike path was very interesting as many sections were on a boardwalk and over bridges. This was my type of camping, no noise, just water cascading down from the glacier. I'll give it 4 stars only because sites could have been kept cleaner including fire rings being emptied. I will stay here again. (Mid July)

Trapper Creek Inn - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Gas station / grocery store / small campground. Located in a small wooded area next to the Parks highway. The pull thru full service sites ($39) were the best of the bunch. There were about 8-9 of these. The back in full service ($33) ones butted up closer to the highway and were rather close together. There was one porta potty to use. The few dry sites ($20) were really tight because of trees. I guess OK for a easy pull off when electric is needed. This is a Good Sam Park.

Denali View South - My Rating is 1 out of 5 -- Small paved parking lot at a rest area along the Parks highway. This is part of the Denali State Parks area. Just a parking lot space with a picnic table a fire ring for each of about 10 back in spaces. Very near the highway so noise "could" be an issue. There are bushes to muffle out some noise. There are pit toilets. You can see Denali if the skies are clear.

Riley Creek Campground - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- Did I walk thru at this National Park campground located right at enterance of Denali National Park. First thing that jumps out at you are how "short" the sites are. Of the 150 sites very few are for rigs over 30'. Those are classified as "A" sites. All the rest are "B" sites or C for tents only. It seems the campground caters to the rental class C market. You see a lot of them here. I was hard pressed to even find a "B" site I could even get my 26' trailer in. Another issue is, your reservation only reserves a B site, but not a site that fits the length of your RV. So you may arrive and the the 20 B sites open for that day (first come first serve) most might have been taken and only the very short ones are left. Another point was the " bump- stops " in the back of the sites are very tall. (8-12"). As far as sites being level. Some are and some are not. There are no showers in the campground, but a short 5 minute walk over to the Riley Creek Mercantile has supplies and pay showers. The campground does have one flush toilet and a few non flush ones around the campground. Yes, you are near the enterance of the national park, but poor site selection would deter me from reserving a site. That was the reason I'm giving it a 2 star rating. Most of the sites could be made 10' longer, but the large bump stops prevent that.

Teklanika River Campground - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Stayed here 3 nights ( mid July ). Must reserve a month or more ahead of time to get a spot. You don't reserve a site, you are just reserving a space. It's first come first serve. We lucked out and got a river front site. It is on mile 29.1 on the Denali Park Rd. But it will take you at least an hour to get to. The first 15 are paved, then very nice gravel after that. The campground has 2 loops for a total of 56 sites. 80% of the sites will hold a 35' rig. 40' is the max allowed. Maybe 15 of the sites can accommodate a 40' rig. All the sites are gravel. All but two are level. Walking out on the Teklanika River gravel bar is a real cool experience. Plus you get a two hour jump in the morning getting on the shuttle bus in order to view Denali. Still takes 3 hours to make it to the 2nd visitor center (Eieldon) at mile marker 66. Ask about the "Tek" bus pass. You must stay at least 3 days here. And can't move your vehicle once you arrive. Any toad must be left behind back at the park entrance. You can fill up with water and dump at the other campground (Riley Creek) at the park enterance. There are two water faucets in the campground. Seemed to be filtered water. The non flush toilets were clean and newer. They also have a small building in each loop for food storage if your in a tent. I'll give it a 5 star rating because your truely out in the wild here. Every night there was a ranger program in the campground.

Chena River Wayside - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- One positive here is its location. One negative is the traffic noice from all the traffic close by. It's located on the corner of two busy intersections. The sites are mostly nice and large. The one bathroom I walked into was rather un- kept. The dump station and water fill station was nice and large. One note: the entrance is located off Airport Way on a access road. Just look for the KFC and go behind that to the west.

River’s Edge Resort - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Did a nice walk-a-round thru this park. First off 95% of the sites were level. As far as space between sites as far as "Alaska" standards go they were average or slightly small. If I had a choice I would pick the sites near the river (Chena). The washrooms were very clean and fairly updated. There was a RV wash area ($). Laundry was ($3 wash / 3$ dry). They had a nice store. You have to take my 3 star rating with a grain of salt. I feel for $55 to $60 a night ( full service) $50 for electric site it was somewhat pricey. They are located just north of the airport and a major freeway. My 30 minute walk a round I didn't notice as much noise as the state park (Chena River Wayside) about a mile east of here.

Pioneer Park - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- If your looking for a overnight paved parking spot, this simple spot will do. No more than 6-7 level and paved spots. The sign posted said $15 a night. The sites were located to the west side of the Pioner Park main entrance in a area of the lot that gets very little traffic. You will some noise because it is near the intersection of two main roads ( Peger & Airport Way). The sites back up to a few pine trees. Behind the grouping of pine trees are where some buses are stored. If you are doing the Alaska Salmon Bake, that entrance is only 100' away. As far as I know ther is no Water or dump station here. Other options would include the state park ( Chena River Wayside $20 for dry, $30 for electric) about 3/4 of a mile due west or the WalMart 10 minutes NE of the park. Only reason I gave it two stars was it was a nice level paved spot with sites deep enough for large rigs. Cell service was very good ( Verizon).

Chena Lake Recreation Area - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- People will confuse "Chena River" Recreation Area with the "Chena Lake" Recreation areas. Both near North Pole AK. Chena Lake will be reviewed below: There is a total of a 100 sites broken up in two loops about a mile from each other. Between the two there are 20 pull thru sites and the rest are back in, with enough space for RV's in the 35' range. The main road into the park is paved. The actual campground loop roads and campsites are hard packed gravel. All sites looked level. There is a dump station on the paved road into the park. All campsites are primitive. The one loop I walked had 4 outhouses. That were so-so. Close by ( 100') there was s paved bike path that went for at least 10 miles total. The beach, boat rental, picnic area and boat launch were 500' away. The Chena Lake Rec. Area is 3 miles east of the main North Pole business area on the Richardson highway. There are even a few tent campsite on a island near the picnic area. The other smaller loop of campsites is near the dam and river. The whole Chena Lake area is about a levy to hold back the Chena River as to not flood the North Pole / Fairbanks area.

Upper Chatanika River State Recreation Site - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- We did a drive-thru here in late June. The sites were rather tight as were the one loop that circled around. Many pot-holes in the gravel loop road. The outhouse was newer looking. Some of the sites were on the creek. The Steese highway is paved to mile marker 80, so getting to this campground with 24 sites at mile marker 39 is no issue. There is one mountain pass at Cleary Summit about 10 miles before. Perfectly fine for tent, small trailers or even class C RV's. No cell service here. Only about 3 miles from Fox you will get reception.

Chicken Creek RV Park - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- This is a smaller campground than Chicken Gold Camp next door. Maybe 10 back sites and 10 small pull thru's. They do have flush toilets where the other one doesn't. They have free gold panning on their creek. Not sure if anyone was finding anything. They don't offer any opertunities to gold pan on a claim. Their store offered a good selection of gifts.

Chicken Gold Camp & Outpost - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Stayed here 3 nights (mid-June). Considering, their located 80 miles from "anything", I gave them a 5 star rating. Yes, it is basically a gravel parking lot, but the sites were easy to back into, or there were some pull-thru's. Water fill is the back side of the office / store. All power is generated on site, which seemed just fine. No flush toilets here, but outhouses were kept very clean. There are pay showers. The dump station is for "gray" water only. There is a number of gold panning options here, either pan from a pile of paydirt ($10) of take a 2 mile ATV ride to a gold claim for the day ($20-75). Yes you will get gold. They have a gold dredge on-site. Their located 80 miles north of the Alcan by Tok AK. Up the Taylor hyway. Yes, across the street is the famous downtown Chicken. The are 2 campgrounds in Chicken right next to each other.

Bear Canyon Campground - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Stopped here today on our way to Alaska. Some of the other campground review sites didn't give the place very good numbers more just average. So I wasn't expecting much. It is better than expected. The pool was a welcome relaxing dunk to rest up after 4 nights of boon-docking across the country. The whole campground is built on a very slight hill, so all the pull- through sites in the middle of the campground face ever so slightly uphill. Well with in most big rigs jacks. The outer section of the campground are the shorter back in sites. Same again, just a very slight slope. We were a half a bubble off, not worth even getting the Lynx-Levellers out. The back in sites on the back side of the campground face a very nice pasture and mountain. From there the freeway noise is bearly noticeable. On the front side of the campground that over looks the freeway you do get some semi noise, but the freeway is hardly used after 7pm. Paid $35 for our back in electric / water site (base rate was $30 + $5 for my son). The full service pull thru sites were $45 for 2 people. I could see where if the campground was full the back in sites are tight. I have only a 26' trailer and if there was a car parked in the tent site across the street, I would have trouble hooking up. The back in site don't have any shade. The full service have some trees and shade on each site. The showers were fine for the price. Overall it was a very solid 4 star rating. I would stay here again. The pictures I'll post will give you an idea of the campsites.

Cedar Pass Campground - My Rating is 2 out of 5 -- First off we arrived on a very very windy day, which can happen a lot here. It was so windy all the tents were completely folded to the ground. I'm going to assume those people slept in their cars. The other sites are rather tight for rigs over 32'. There not really sites but rather sections of pavement that are wider with 2' high posts planted every 10' around each campsite and along the road. The electric sites were $15 more per night. I asked about the showers because other review site said many times they were cold. Yes, the office personnel kind of joked about it saying the lady's shower gets first dibs on any hot water and the men get what's left over, if any ( pay shower) With that said, the location is right at the Badlands inside the park about a 10 minute walk from the visitor center, so when the weather is good and you get a good and use your own shower, your golden.

Hocking Hills State Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Hocking Hills is one of the most popular Parks in Ohio. The campground sits along a ridge with a few side streets. The check in station is one of the nicest in all the state parks. From the check in station to the actual campsites you go uphill on a rather narrow winding park road with a few very sharp corners. RV's over 30' will have to cheat the center around the sharp corners, because there is no shoulder. There is a full range of sites from level and spacious to un-level ones that are "very" close together. The showerhouses are OK, but can get busy on the weekends. The Hocking Hills area is all about the hiking and caves. Within about a 10-15 minute drive in the Hocking Hills complex you have: Ash cave, Old man's Cave, Rock House, Conkles Hollow and Cantwell Cliffs. The hiking trails are very busy on nice weekends.

Laurel Hill State Park - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Have camped here about 15 one week trips. The campground is divided into 3 loops, / areas. Overall the campsites are nicely built into a rather hilly area. About 2/3 of the sites have good modern electric service. There are 4 showerhouses, that are kept clean. About 2/3 of the sites are paved, the others either grass or a few gravel ones. Most sites have full or partial shade. Laurel Hill Lake has one of the finest beaches around. The lake is about 100 acres with head water supporting a trout stream. Good mix of hiking including the short hike to Jones Mill Dam. The weekends I see the campground only about 2/3 filled at most, during the week there might be 10 -15 campers there out of the 250 or so sites. Good place to relax... About 3 miles away is 7 Springs ski resort with many summer activities. I want to repeat that even being a rather hilly area, the sites are mostly level. Do not take the route that goes past 7 Springs Ski Resort unless you only have a tent or small pop-up trailer. Take route 31 and then Trent Road, go past the old main entrance of Laurel Hill to the entrance closer top the campground.

Canaan Valley Resort State Park - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Yes, the resort lodge at Canaan was remodeled 2-3 years ago, but the campground run by a concessionaire is outdated. Many of the campsites are sized when RV's were smaller, without slides. You need to plan ahead to know if the site you reserve is level. I wouldn't say it's was run down, just older infrastructure. The area around Canaan is a hikers playground. You have miles of hiking in the Dolly Sods Natural Area just across the valley. It's a high plateau at about 4000' that runs about 5 miles wide by 10-15 long. There is a long mostly gravel road that takes you to the top of the plateau, there your at tree line. Three stars was given only because of the surrounding area.

Blackwater Falls State Park - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- The campground is divided into two loops, one electric and the other non-electric. The campground is located on a slopping hill side. The electric side, one needs to watch what site they get, because some are rather steeply sloped for an RV. Grounds were kept up very nice. Even the old showerthouse was outdated far beyond today's standards, but clean. The falls were just a few minutes away. Plenty of hiking all around the park.

Nolin Lake State Park - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Very nice small park. Even with the slightly rolling grounds, someone knew how to run a bulldozer. Nice large "level" sites. All have electric except a few by the beach. All the electric one also have a water hook up. The place flooded out about 5 years ago, so the whole place was-built. The showerhouse is top notch. It's location is about 15 minutes north of Mammoth Caves National Park. The only negative are the roads to the park are rather narrow, especially coming in from the north. The lake was like bath water even being mid-June...5 star rating...

Stonelick State Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Over the last 5-6 years we have done 3 week long stays here. The first time here I picked Stonelick because it was close to: Cincinnati Zoo, Kings Island amusement park, and the Air Force Museum in Dayton. The park consists of 5 loops or sections, most with electric service. Up to 3 years ago most sites were shady or semi-shady. That all changed when they took out 1000+ Ash trees because of bugs. What used to be a site with shade is now full sun. This effected about half the campsites here. There are still sites with shade, just not as many. A few sites are reservable for the whole season. During the week, maybe half the sites are occupied, weekends in the summer the park with it's 115 sites is usually full. There are some sites that butt up the lake where we enjoy launching our kayaks. What is preventing me from giving it a 5 star rating is some areas of the park need upgrading. Both picnic areas just down the entrance road are an after thought. Somewhere in the future the lake will need to be dredged. Showerhouse is so / so. Otherwise its a great location just east of Cincinnati

Myrtle Beach Travel Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Have stayed here 4-5 times, the last time for 10 nights. Just my opinion, but out of the 5 "large" RV Parks near Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach Travel park is the most low key. Not many golf carts buzzing around, older pool and lazy river. I like the location because it's near "Restaurant Row" and "Broadway on the Beach". All 5 are over priced, fact last time there they said the county has added a "bed tax"...I thought for a minute. I'm the one bringing a "bed"....? The only thing that bugs me is, even with a posted "5 MPH" speed limit, the campground's trucks bringing in all the RV trailers from storage, to set up on sites buzz by at 25+ MPH every time....

Fort Chiswell RV Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- We have used Ft. Chiswell RV Park twice as a mid way over night stop from Ohio to Myrtle Beach. With being less than a 1/2 mile from the freeway exit, you don't get much noise from it because there is a hill in between the campground and freeway. The front of the campground has all pull-thru sites, the back 1/3 is mostly back in for shorter rigs. I think many people use it for the same thing. Nice level gravel sites, super clean showerhouse, pool. Can't remember the price, but I think it was very reasonable.

Big Meadows Campground - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- We have camped here a number of times on our way down to Myrtle Beach SC. The national park campground is divided into two large loops, one a mix of pull-thru and back in sites and mostly shady. The other loop is a little more open (less shade) with back in RV sites and walk-in tent sites. All pads are paved if I remember right. As far as sites being level, it's a mix of everything, some level and some not level at all. There is no electric in the campground sites. There is electric outlets in the bathroom for shaving (or charging cell phones). There is water stations thru-out the campground for filling up jugs or running a hose over to fill up your RV's water tank. There was a number of bathrooms around the park, but the one shower building (pay showers) was near the check in station. The tent sites each had a "bear-proof" box (4'x 4' x4') to keep your food in. Both the bathrooms and showers were kept clean. The actual "Big Meadow" ( about 700 acres) is about a mile away either by park road or paved bike path. That is where there is a visitor center (Harry F. Byrd Visitor Center) and a camp store. You can get or sign up for park tours and talks there. The AT (Appalachian Trail) hiking trail runs right around the campground in both directions. In the big meadow there are paths all around, where rangers give talks on what every aspect of life is like for all the animals. We have seen a bear or two near the edge of the meadow near the tree line. Next to the campground ( 1/4 mile away) there is the Big Meadow Lodge. There is also a lookout over the valley below. Great sunsets if the smog is not too bad. It used to be called Blackrock lookout, but not sure what it is call now since the Lodge has been changed from being called the Blackrock Lodge to the Big Meadow lodge. The campground sits at about 3400' and the valley below at 1000' It can be over 100 degrees in the valley and only in the low 80's in the campground. The campground is a perfect location along Skyline Drive if you like this type of camping.

Mohican State Park - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Mohican State Park in NE. / Central Ohio is by far the most popular state park in Ohio. Reserve early specially for summer time weekends. The campsites are in a flat river valley with a stream / creek running along one side of the campsites. All campsites are level or almost level. You have an even mix of shady and open sunny sites. Size wise, it runs the full range of tight to get into sites with neighbors close by to large sites with plenty of room for an RV and a tent. All site are paved, with either 45 degree turn-ins, or some of the full service ones near the front of the campground are "pull-thru". The other full service sites in the rear of the campground are also a mix of 45 degree and pull-thru sites. Last summer they did add more full service sites where I believe they made them 45 degree "double wide pad" size. The pool is where its at. Nice stainless steel pool ( with life guards ). One of only 3 state parks in Ohio to have a pool in the campground. Last year they added a splash area also. There was also talk of re-doing the pool's changing building. There is also a camp store, ice cream counter, nature center in the middle of the campground. For the mountain biker there is a 23 mile single track that runs up one side of the valley and returns on the other...Good luck...it's a tough one. The first mile is 300' of vertical switch backs. There is one hiking trail that makes a mile loop up the hill by the campsites, another that goes thru the field in a loop where your going to see rabbits. That one is under a mile and is flat. And a 3 mile one that follows the creek up stream to the picnic area and a small primitive camping area. The stream next to the campsites is used for wading and tubing. At any given time in the summer you will see hundreds of people using it. Cell phone coverage is OK with Verizon, AT&T was poor 5 years ago, not sure if that has improved. The Mohican / Loudenville area is the canoeing capital of the Mid-West. When the summer arrives, especially the weekends you can easily find a 1,000 people on the main river taking anywhere from a 2 mile inner tube ride or a 4-17 mile canoe trip. There are about 3-4 canoe companies offering trips. The smaller stream (Clear Creek) that runs next to the campsites empties into the main canoeing river about 1/4 mile down stream. So you don't get all that traffic. Ohio has finally putingt some extra money into it's parks. Maintenance has look been over-looked. Much is needed, but I have started to see infrastructure improvements the last 18 months. They also re-paved the whole campground last year. I wish they would have widened the pavement to turn into the sites better. RVers with long trailers 35' + will find themselves getting off the pavement in order to back their rigs into their sites.

Allegany State Park – Red House Area - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- This is your classic CCC park. A lot of old time remnants / stonework from years gone by. The campground consists of 3 loops. One has all level sites ( sites A1-A38) but they are close together and very short in length. Most sites in this loop are gravel or dirt pad. Shade cover ranges from full sun( inside of loop) to part shade (outer sites along the loop) The remaining sites / loops B,C,D and E. are set on a mild hillside. With that said a level site is hard to find. Yes, there are some, and there are others where "creative" blocking is the norm. Most sites in these loops are full shad and have gravel surface. The 3 showerhouses here are older and in average condition. Overall the campground is semi tight getting around, where a 35'+ RV will find it kind of challenging. There is no hiking trailheads from the actual campground unless you count the paved side path off the bike trail. There are more hiking trails around the other sections of the rest of the Allegheny Park. The focal point here is the Red House Lake. There is a total of 5 miles of paved bike trails around the lake. On one side of the lake is the park administration building where there is a gift shop, small history / nature museum and a nice sitting area.

West Branch State Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Pre-2000 West Branch was just an after-thought, 50 non-electric sites, 1950's pit toilets, muddy campsites. That all changed about 15 years ago. Complete re-build, now 200 sites (160 electric, 30 full service and 10 non-electric. 4 brand new showerhouses, in campground boat ramp. The campsites are built on a peninsula, divided into 4 loops or areas. All roads are paved as are the campsites. The park staff keep the shower buildings in top shape. Instead of men's and Ladies shower areas, there is a common area where there are 5 individual shower rooms that offer a large bench and where a mom can bring in 1-2 small ones and take care of their shower needs in there own little room. The only thing missing as usual are enough hooks to hand your clothes up. The lake is a un-limited horsepower lake, so you will see many bass boats speeding by. There are 4 hiking trails of about a mile each starting at the campground check-in station. There is a 9 hole disc golf course, newer playground equipment. Very popular park especially in the summer months. Average to to above average spacing between campsites. About 2/3 of the sites have part shade or full shade. The one thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star rating is: When they re-built the campground and added 150 new sites, each site was to be level and 65' deep. The general contractor must not have been a RVer. Where it could have been easy to make many of the campsites level, many are not at all level or are very short. Especially about a third of the full service sites that attract larger RV's.

Findley State Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Nice well rounded Ohio State Park. Over the last 10 years, slow but steady improvements have greatly made this place more popular. Improvements added over the last 10 years include: New electric service added to 90 sites, 18 hole disc golf, 9 mile single track mountain bike trail, new playground equipment, new sewage plant, new campground pavilion, remodeled nature center / store. In the next few months about 10-15 new full service sites are being constructed, Bathhouse #1 remodel will be completed by summer (2016) and the winter of 16' / 17' will see the lake drained and dredged. In the next year of so it is rumored some new cabins will be built. Now to the review. Of the 250+ sites, 90 have electric. 90% of the sites have shade of some sort. Of the shady sites, half are in a pine forest and the others are in a hard wood forest. All park roads are paved, while the campsite are hard packed stone / gravel. 95% of the sites are level. Fairly good spacing between sites. Only issue are some sites have trees close to the campsite pads making it harder to open slides and or awnings. None of the sites are on the 93 acre / non-moterized lake, but many are a short 100' path to the waters edge. In the spring, many of the hiking trails, disc golf and mtn. biking trails stay muddy because of the flat terrain. What once was a lightly used park has now become much more popular, especially with 90 50 amp electric sites. The area and towns around the is farm country. The nearby town (Wellington) has everything you need as far as gas, groceries and one of the best hardware stores anywhere. About 1 mile north of the park entrance. Findley is located about 20 miles off the major freeways on nice secondary roads. Look on their calendar of events put on by the "Friends of Findley" group and the park staff.

Mt Gilead State Park - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Small park, not far off freeway (I-71) in North Central Ohio. The campground is divided into two small loops for a total of 60 sites all with modern electric and mostly wooded. One loop has rather short sites, and the the other loop is a mix of short double wide sites and a few longer sites for 40' RV's. I don't believe there is a shower building here. Good deal of hiking, and a "nasty" disk golf course. Better bring your hiking boots because of some very steep holes. At the time of our visit the "upper lake" had a serious algae problem. The lower lake was less effected.

Punderson State Park Campground - My Rating is 3 out of 5 -- Punderson is the closest state park to Cleveland Ohio. The main thing from keeping Punderson from a higher rating it's need of updating. The electric service is only 20amp predating to the 60's. Second would be the campsites were made when there were no slides or awnings on RVs. Many campsites have drop-offs where your RV door is, or very tight spots. With that said, the 150 acre natural glacier kettle lake is where it's at. Good fishing, and boating. This campground is open year round, with available water and one shower building open during the off season. There are many winter activities like X-country skiing and sledding. All the money has been put into the historic lodge and cabins on the other side of the lake. April 2017 Update: During the summer of 2016 Punderson updated 12 of their old 20 amp electric sites to full service 50 amp sites. Most of these are lake front sites. Their original 5 full service sites #5,7,9,11 & 13 have not been updated. These 5 are all average in length but, are all to some degree uphill. The 12 updated sites are mostly level (except site #1 & 2 which are uphill) and are of average length. The two new ADA full service sites are level, huge and can accommodate a 45' rig. Also in the works is a new sewage treatment plant. This is a two year project started in the summer of 2016. The old treatment plant was lakeside and was kind of a eyesore. The new plant is near the back section of the campgrounds lower loop, in a more remote location. I'm hoping this will will lead to new shower buildings in the future. About 18 months ago the state of Ohio added extra money to their state park capital improvement budget. Many state park campgrounds are benefiting from long long needed updating. Much more are needed, but at least its a start. Not on the list at Punderson as far as I know, is updating all the electric only sites from the old 20 amp service outlets. These look like their from the 60's.

Hyner Run State Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Nice "small" park / campground of about 30 sites. About 2/3rds have modern electric. The shower building is new. There is also a new huge pool. Yes, a pool in a state park. It is not heated, but when we were there in mid August the water temperature was just fine, not hot, but just enough enjoy. Mid-week there were only 3 RVers in the campground, the weekend only filled up the place half way. There are no bushes between wooded / semi-wooded campsites, but the spacing is very good. It is a pine forest. Most of the sites are semi-shady to full shade. The campsites themselves are medium sized with a gravel surface. Some are level, and some are a little off. A small creek runs along the side of some of the campsites. There hiking nearby was OK, but was not marked very well. A section on top of the mountain had a area that was "clear cut" for logging, but no one (park service) bothered to re-route the hiking trails that went thru that area, or put up signs where to go. I had to use the compass on my IPhone to "bushwhack" toward the valley and the campground area. There area bears in the area, about every other day we would spot them near the trash dumpster. Right next to the Hyner Run State Park campground, is the Hyner View State Park. You drive up a narrow 5 mile road where your 1700' above the valley below. Yes, it is worth the drive, especially near sunset. It overlook the northern branch of the Susquehanna River. The nearest town is about 10 minutes away (Renovo) which is a old steel / train building town.

Ricketts Glen State Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- In Aug. of 2015 we spent a week at nearby Worlds End State park in NE. PA. We did a day trip over to Ricketts Glen State Park which is about an hour East of Williamsport PA. to check out the campground for future trips and to hike the 3.5 mile trails that descended 23 waterfalls. The parks biggest draw are the waterfalls. The 3.5 mile trail goes down one narrow valley, crosses over into another valley you go back up. The hiking map you get shows each waterfalls name, history how it got it's name and height ex:( Ganoga 94' or Ozone 60') The trail is rather narrow, with some steep sections and steps at some points. If you have small children or your not in very good shape, I would stick to the valley of falls to the east. Those are not "as" steep. There are two parking lots that service hiking trails. It is rumored on the weekends they fill up fast. So plan your day. The campground has 120 non-electric sites, divided up into two loops. There is a average aged shower building in each loop. The sites run the scale of small tent sites to very large RV sites, maybe large enough for 40' rigs. It is rumored at some point in the next 50 years they (PA.State Parks) may put some electric in. *note In the summer of 2015 they had drained the lake to fix the dam, not sure if it will be finished for 2016 season.

Worlds End State Park - My Rating is 5 out of 5 -- Was looking for a couple day stopover in route to a 2 week stay in Vermont from Ohio for August of 2015. On another website (IRV2.com) someone suggested Worlds End State Park in NE. PA. After doing further research I decided to turn that into a 7 night stay. The park is located about 30 minutes Northeast of Williamsport PA. in the Loyalsock State Forest (Forksville PA.) Coming from either the north or south the road is not bad, once inside the park between the visitor center and the campground about a mile down the road is a little narrow, but not much to worry about unless your a "wide body" (102"). The campground is divided into two main loops of about 30 sites each. The lower loop has mostly electric service. The electric service was fairly new mostly 50 amp service. Site wise most of the electric ones you could easily get a 30' RV into. Between 30' & 35' you would have to pick your site more carefully. Camped next to us was a brand new 45' pusher. Talking to the owner he said that was their first trip driving any RV....what a way to start. It was a tight squeeze around the electric loop where at the far end is a 180 degree horse-shoe turn. The other upper loop is all non electric split between walk-in where you park your vehicle and walk 20' to 50' to a tenting area. The others in the non-electric loop you can get a small to medium sized trailer, class C or B. There is average privacy between sites, more so for the non-electric ones. The two shower buildings were modern and kept clean. To fill your fresh water tank which is located 50' past the shower building you need to pull your rig over to the side of the road fairly close as to not block the road. They should have made a little gravel pull off. The river Loyalsock Creek is about a 5 minute walk across the road (Route 154) to the water. Cristal clear water. There is a nice small "rapids" area by campsite 15. We have two kayaks that it was a blast to "shot the rapids" get out and walk 50 yards across a flat rock and drop in again above the rapids. Over you can just sunbath on the many flat boulders in the water. Down the road at the visitor center there is a large parking lot with more swimming, concession stand, OK Wi-Fi within 50 feet of the concession stand, hiking trails, 20 rental cabins and nature center inside the visitor center. Around the area there is good amount of hiking trails. I would advise most have a fairly good elevation gain. One called the "High Rock Trail" is one of the steepest trails I have ever done. It's basically hand over hand rock climbing. We drove to the top of the mountain and found a marshy area with wild blueberries. There is also a good look-out called High Knob Vista. It's definitely a place we will return to. No cell phone reception in the valley at all. While there we did two side trips. One was to Knoebels Amusement Park about an hour due south, and the other was to Rickets Glen State Park about 30 minutes away known for all the water falls. I'll do a separate review for that one.

Cook Forest State Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Been camping at Cook Forest (Ridge) campground 25 years. We have spent maybe 18 week long vacations here. In that time they have added more electric sites and even a few "full service" sites a few years back. In the summer the campground is just about full on the weekends. During the week maybe 25 - 30% full. Nice large sites. Most are fairly level. There will be some sites because of all the tree that are hard to turn into if you have a large RV. On the negative side: The shower / bathrooms were in need of updating 20 years ago...I have no idea why all the other Northern PA. State Park shower buildings have been updated in the last 10 years, but the ones at Cook, which is the most used / busiest, are out of the 60's..The park entrance road (1000' long) is a minefield of chuckholes. Been like this for 20 years. The park officials said they can't get it fixed because it sits on 3 different jurisdictions, and they can't work together to get funding. Maybe that explains the 1960's restrooms... Besides that, Cook Forest is known for hiking in the Forest Cathedral, the largest old growth Hemlocks east of the Mississippi. There are trails from the campground to the Forest Cathedral, but it is down a big hill. Best to park at one of picnic areas, and hike from there. There is a children's fishing pond near the hiking trails and park office. Across the road from the campground, is a single lane gravel looped road that leads to Seneca Point Overlook. It's about 2-3 miles thru the dense forest. Well forth the drive. The Clarion River provide many raft, canoeing and kayaking opportunities. The campground is on a ridge above the river, so it's a mile drive to get to the waters edge. About a mile from the campground is a country store McBeth's that carries all your camping needs. About 5-6 miles away is a nice place to eat called The Farmers Inn. They also have a driving range, bulk store, ice cream shop, zoo, furniture shop and mini golf. Overall many things to do in the area to justify a weeks vacation. Many times we have made it a two week vacation by doing the second week at nearby Clear Creek State Park, 10 mile up stream. I would give it a 5 star if and when they update the shower buildings... ** One note. the campground is located on Route 36. Coming in from the West, the sign is very small. If you miss it you have to go all the way down the hill to turn around, and come back up the hill. Same thing coming from the East on 36, as you crest the hill the sign (Cook Forest Ridge campground) will be on your right. Miss it, and your looking at a 2-3 mile drive to turn your rig around.

Tar Hollow State Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- If your looking for a quiet, out of the way state park in SE. Ohio, Tar Hollow is it. There are two ways to enter the park. If you have a RV larger than 34' I would suggest coming in from the south (routes 50 & 237). Coming in from the North (route 237) one must negotiate a tight turn and a decent hill. Once on the park road there is no problem reaching the camping area ( about 2 miles). The campground is divided into two (hollows) / loops ( about 30 sites each). I believe they all have updated electric service. Power amperage was good. One has all paved campsites (Ross Hollow), the other has mostly grass sites, with a few narrow paved ones thrown in (Logan Hollow). There are two "other" areas for tent camper with about 10 sites each which are non-electric. There are no "flush" toilets here. The pit toilets are kept relatively clean. There is a showerhouse which serves both loops. The showerhouse has showers (3 each) and sinks, but no toilets. Also a washer and dryer there too. The dump station is along the park entrance road about a mile from the check in station. The campground check-in station (log cabin) has free WiFi which has a range of only about 100' from the log cabin. There is also ping-pond there and mini golf. There is a small lake (15 acres) also a good deal of hiking trails. The summer weekends brings in enough campers to fill the park 50 or 75%, during the week there may be days there are 2-3 Rvers in the whole park. Once in the park, besides the basic offerings at the campstore (log cabin) there is really no stores for 10 miles. Other than the WiFi at the cabin, you will not have cell service. Booth loops are boxed in by the rolling hills of Southern Ohio. If you hike somewhat up the hill, you will get 1 bar of service (3G Verizon). Nice park if you like to kick back and "rest & read". The popular / busy Hocking Hills State Park is only about 20 minutes east of Tar Hollow.

Half Moon Pond State Park - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Remote state park about 45 minutes NW of Rutland. Either arriving from the North or South it will be about a 5-7 mile drive down a wooded gravel road. The trees on the road tend to be at about 12' high. Being only a hair over 10', at some points I had to drive in the middle of the road as to not hit branches. With that said, once in the park it is very nice. The campsites are set up for RV under 30'. The cal da sacs at the end of both loops a larger RV would have trouble making around. The lake / pond is a heaven for kayaks and canoes. It is a rather shallow lake, which keeps the water warm. Many of the campsites are on the water. There are 3 showerhouses that are kept very clean. Over-all a nice to get away from the city.

Lake Dunmore Kampersville - My Rating is 4 out of 5 -- Been going to Lake Dunmore Kamperville every 3-5 years over the last 25 years. Usually stay for a week. Plenty to do in and around Lake Dunmore area. It is a fairly active campground, with many planned activities like Shuffleboard or Horseshoe tournament, wagon rides, arts & crafts.... just about everyday. Bingo used to also be run 6 days a week, but our last visit (Aug 2015) it was cut to 3 days a week. They have a pool area that is divided into 3 walled off sections. It seems to be the center of activities. 5 years ago they had just installed a feature by the pool that shoots jets of water in the air for the kids to run thru. It was out of service then (2010), and also it appears to be in non-working order this year too. Too bad because kids would have a ball running thru the jets of water. Since 2010 and our visit in Aug. 2015 the management has tried to make it more of a family campground. It seems about 30-40 seasonal sites have been eliminated. They used to have teen dances on the weekends that were rather rowdy. I think that was the reason there are now less seasonal campers. This past visit, there was a DJ with more of a "family" type dance. It did seem to be a little less rowdy, especially on the weekends. Most are full service sites, but some are still water & electric. That kind of brings up a issue that the single (hole) dump station is located in a funny location right in the way of the main campground road. The sites for the most part are level and of average or larger sized. 90% are full shade. Even 45' RV's would have no problem fitting into some of the sites. The lake ( Lake Dunmore) is across the street from one section of the campground. Over the last 25 years not much has been done to update the beach area. There is a older wooden playground pirate ship the kids used to be able to go in and climb on. It's in dis-repair and boarded up. There are picnic tables along one side, but look very un-inviting. This area of lakefront is a gem, but because of years of neglect or no improvements, it gets under used. Too bad...Nice clear water, beautiful mountain views. This is kind of a theme throughout the campground. It needs more attention to daily upkeep. They have 3 shower buildings, none seem to be very modern. We still like going there, and will return again in the future. Paid about $50 a night for a full hookup site. (Aug 2015)
