What campers like
Maintenance quality: Campers frequently mention the upkeep of facilities at certain parks. "The campsite is very well maintained. You often see the owner themselves doing a lot of the maintenance. Plus they check on people, see if everything is going good," notes a visitor at Fireside RV Park.
Staff hospitality: Many reviews highlight positive interactions with park personnel. "This is a well-maintained park with very friendly staff and guests. Spacious dog park, fresh gravel in the spots, fire pit area with string lights. We had a change of plans the morning of checkout, and they let us check out a little late," shares a camper at GSP RV PARK.
Affordability for long stays: Some parks offer reasonable monthly rates for extended stays. "Nice quiet spot not far from a big road with any shops you could need on it. Wifi availability for $20 a month. Slow, but gets the job done," reports a camper at Scuffle Town Usa RV Park.
What you should know
Limited facilities at some parks: Not all campgrounds offer full amenities. "The campsite only has laundry service, no additional bathrooms or showers. The Wi-Fi is ok, but it drops out a lot," explains a visitor to Fireside RV Park.
Noise considerations: Some parks have unique noise issues to consider before booking. "Fell asleep to the soothing sounds of a locomotive horn punctuated by the plinks of acorns bouncing off the roof. Awakened at 5:30 AM by sirens tuned to major thirds followed a little later by the thumping sounds of helicopter blades," warns a visitor to Springwood RV Park.
Varying site conditions: Expect different ground surfaces depending on the park. "The grass is very nice instead of dirt or gravel pad next to you," notes a camper about Fireside RV Park's site layout.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Some parks offer dedicated play areas for children. GSP RV Park features a "decent playground" among its amenities for families with young children.
Swimming options: Seasonal swimming is available at select campgrounds. One reviewer mentioned a swimming pool at Cunningham RV Park, making it suitable for summer family camping.
Activity restrictions: Check activity policies before booking with kids. "No tent camping no fishing and no swimming. Why go?" warns a camper about Moon Landing Campground, suggesting families seeking these activities should look elsewhere.
Tips from RVers
Site length considerations: Full-size motorhomes require appropriate sites. "We stopped for one night after a long day of driving and wanted a full hook-up pull-thru which was long enough for our 45' RV and tow car," reports an RVer at Cunningham RV Park.
Utility placement issues: Sewer connections may require extra equipment. "The sewer outlet at our site was placed in the back of our site and I needed a hose about 35' long to reach it," notes a camper at Cunningham RV Park.
Internet connectivity options: Multiple parks offer WiFi with varying reliability. "Following are phones (mostly for hotspot) I have and how they feature: Cricket: 7.98dn, 0.84up, ATT: 27.69, 0.3 up, Visible: 7.2dn, 1.2up, Verizon: 44.9dn, 1.88 up, T-mobile mifi: no 4g nor 5G service," reports a detail-oriented camper at Big Creek RV Park.
