Arkansas Point Campground at Lake Pueblo State Park is the closet to the state park office and marina. It cost $10 for a park pass plus you make your site reservations online. It offers 30/50 amp electric sites, with water fill stations throughout the campground. There is a dump station just as you enter the campground as well. Each site has a covered picnic table and some sites have a shade tree.

Bathhouses are very clean and offer hot showers. It does show a playground at this campsite but it has since been removed.

If you are going to take your boat and fish you can stay on the water 24 hours/day; however, to ente/exit the water your boat must go through inspection, so you want to be out of the water while the inspection site is still open.

You can enjoy swimming off the beach area or choose to go hiking one of the many many trails they have.

We stayed in site #62 and it offered shade as well as a water station next to it. This is a pull thru site. We would definitely stay here again.

Mt. Princeton Campground is a primitive campground. There is no water, electric, or dump station available. You can fill your rv with water in Buena Vista at the water works office. As for dumping you either have to drive to Salida and dump at their sanitation department or you can pay to dump at a local rv campground in Buena Vista. If you want electricity bring a generator.

This campground does have vault toilets and a drinking water ONLY faucet. The camp host also has firewood for sale.

We stayed in site #7 and behind it was the Chalk Creek. It was rushing so hard you could hear it and it was very peaceful.

No cell signal or WiFi.

Beautiful campground that we will return to in the future.

Rocky Top is close to Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, & Woodland Park. It has rv sites as well as a hotel and is located off I-24. Site #23 had full hookups and was a partially paved site, with a picnic table. Few trees are located within the rv park itself. Bathhouse was clean and required a code to get into them. There is also an attached laundry room that had 4 washers and 4 dryers (coin operated). Small playground located at the front of the park, but it looked like they were still working on it. Park provides free WiFi but it is iffy at times and cell signal is non existent for AT&T. Overall would camp here again.

We stopped here for an overnight stay. Pull thru & back in with full hook ups with 30/50 amp sites. Bathhouse with showers & laundry room as well. Gates close at dark so if you are arriving after dark you will not be able to get in. Back in sites look over the freeway but you can also see pretty scenery farther off. Sites are close together.

Greenleaf State Park is a gem in eastern Oklahoma. This state park offers fishing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, and a splash pad to cool off at! It also is home to The Cabin on the Lake, the first cabin built in Oklahoma for the physically challenged.

We stayed in the Cypress Row campground at site #6. 30 amp and water. No sewer, but dump station close by. This site was close to the bathhouse and lake. You could walk to the lake and fish off the docks or on the lake edge. The only disadvantage to this park is some sites share water. In our site we needed 50 ft of water hose and I would suggest bringing a “y” water connector.

We enjoyed hiking the trails and our little one enjoyed the splash pad. The splash pad is fairly new and kept in great shape. It is a local favorite.

Pros: Clean park Lots of activities Shade galore

Cons: Some sites are shared water-bring extra hoses and a “y” connector

We stayed in the Whites Catfish Cove campground at site #16 during Father’s Day Weekend. This site was located on both sides of the roadway and was at the end of the road. It was hard to back into given the many vehicles parked on the street. I would not recommended this site for longer rv’s or travel trailers. It had 30 amp hook up and water available. No sewer hookup, but dump site was not far off. Bath houses were close by, but could have been cleaned a little more.

Walking distance to lake beach swim area and playground directly across from this site (great if you have kids).

Prime spots for this campground area would be site #60, 62, 64, 66

Pros: Close to lake Close to playground Only one camper next to you

Cons: Small site No sewer Fire pit was overgrown with grass Right next to busy roadway

Village Creek has nearly 7,000 acres of forest hills, 33 miles of multi-use trails, playground for children, 2 lakes, Andy Dye designed 27 hole golf course, & visitor center & gift shop. The park has cabins as well as rv sites.

There are three main campgrounds: Loop A (no sewer hookups & mostly dirt pads), Loop B (full hookups & concrete pads), and an equestrian campground with stable facilities. Multiple bathhouses located throughout the park; however, in Loop A the bathhouse as you enter the loop has hot showers, where the lower Loop A bathhouse only has cold. As for the bathhouses they were clean and up to date.

The sites in Loop A were not level and some were very steep. Loop B sites seemed to be mostly level. All the sites contained a picnic table and fire pit.

We stayed in Loop A site 23 at the very end of the loop. This site was probably the steepest site at the park and we had difficulty getting our camper completely level. There is also a sign at the end of the loop that states this area can have storm damage and to watch for falling trees. While we were there a tree limb fell not even 20 feet from our camper and broke in two. If your willing to take a risk though this site is secluded and more private and right at the entrance to the Lake Dunn trail.

This campground also has no cell service or internet. You can pay to have internet and they have different options available but to get cell service you either need to leave the park or find the right spot and stay still.

Pros: •Beautiful campground •Multiple trails to hike •Two lakes to fish in and designated swim areas •Clean bathhouses and showers •Ampitheater with multiple education programs •Rent kayaks/canoes, fishing boats

Cons: •No sewer in Loop A area •Watch for falling tree limbs •Ticks and other insects-do tick checks and bring insect repellent •No cell/WiFi service

Tom Sawyer RV Park is located right along the Mississippi River. The entrance into the park takes you through a wooded area, which has beautiful scenery. Upon arrival they are doing contactless check in and have your car tag and park map located at the front office.

They have three areas to this campground: two are located on the river and one sits back into the trees with more shade. There is also 2 ponds located on site with fishing allowed. Sites are either concrete or gravel and mostly level. All sites are full hook up with 30/50 amp electric. They also have several bathhouses and laundry facilities, both which were clean.

We stayed in site 29 (concrete). We could see the river from our site, but it was a walk to get river side. Site had ample shade and was far enough apart from other campers. We also had cell service (ATT) and the park provides wifi.

Pros: •Clean campground •Spacious sites •Full hook ups with laundry facilities •WiFi included •Gorgeous views

Cons: •Poison Ivy •Ticks, mosquitoes, snakes, etc…are thick

This campground is a Corps of Engineers campground. As you drive in you are greeted by a toll booth building where you can either pick up your car tag or the attendant can give you a map with open sites. You must book the sites online through the recreation.gov website. The gates to this campground close at 10 pm & reopen at 6 am. In emergencies between 10 pm & 6 am you can exit the campground but can not re-enter as there are tire spikes. Check in time is stated as 6 pm and check out is 4 pm; however, we checked in around 3 pm.

There are 3 sections to this campground: west, central, & east. The central campground appeared to be the most updated with wide, concrete spaces. Trees are abundant here and provide nice shade, but be mindful of falling branches. All sites have electricity 30/50 amp. Some sites have water located on site, some have water located about 40 ft away (bring extra water hoses), and some have no water. No sewers in any sites, but there are dump stations located within the campground.

The campground has several bathhouses and vault toilets. I did not tour any of the women’s bathrooms but my husband said the men’s was dirty and the toilet would not flush.

There are two playgrounds for children and lots of sandy beach areas to swim in and set up lawn chairs, etc… The campground also has a boat ramp and courtesy dock.

We camped on site C58. The site was wide, clean, and has a concrete pad. It was well spaced from other campers and had a nice lake view even though we weren’t directly on the lake.

Pros: •Lake Eufaula access •Sites directly on the lake or short walking distance •Gated campground •Has a variety of sites and able to accommodate big rv’s •Concrete pad sites

Cons: •No sewer •Needs lawn maintenance •Bathrooms need cleaning & updating
