Great RPI Resort campground 

Wide roads and campsite with plenty of grassy areas in between.  It’s got all the amenities and is situated in an actual ranch.  The ranch also has a golf course and houses.  There is also a school on the premises and it was quite delightful to see teenagers in tennis classes playing in the middle of the resort.  There is a nice looking playground and a big pool but it was already closed for the fall/winter months even though it was in the 80s-90s.  Nice big grassy dog parks and a trail all around the campground you can walk them on leash.  It a membership campground but you don’t have to be a member to camp here.  It’s a pretty amazing place!  We are here mid September.  They are open all year long.
