Nice park

Nice park. Sites are okay. Ours was one of the better ones. Spacious and level gravel pad with large grassy area on patio side. Our site was 50 amp full hookups. Many weren’t. Couple of small fishing ponds. Campground is situated on Boulder River. Office staff was friendly. Laundry facility was clean but dated. (Harvest gold dryers from the 70’s dated). Great proximity to downtown big timber, MT. One grocery store (IGA). 30 min from Livingston.

Horsey Heaven

This place is mainly for people with horses but anyone can camp here. They have spacious, level, clean sites with full hookups and fire rings. The entire property is pristine. Even the horse stalls are immaculate. The cabins are cute and CLEAN looking. Most campground cabins have that skeevy vibe. These don’t. There is a small inn. This camp is located 3.9 miles off of the main road. Which is a bonus because unlike many of the campgrounds we passed on our way in, this one has zero road noise. It is very peaceful and serene. The views of the mountains are beautiful and tonight’s sunset was gorgeous. The only occasional sounds are the whinnying of horses. Which is a great sound. We can’t believe this place is $49 a night. Unbelievable value. I wish we lived closer because we would come back on a regular basis! This campground is very close to downtown Custer (adorable) and to all the local attractions!

Perfect proximity

Perfect location for visiting Badlands National Park. Jussstttt outside the park entrance and the Ben Reifel visitor center. Could not ask for a better location. The campground is a no frills, perfectly adequate base for exploring the area. 30 amp (some sites have 50) and water with a dump station. The staff is super friendly and there is a small store and cafe. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Sites are gravel and pretty level. Can’t beat it for $38/night! We had a spot at cedar pass for one night and extended here because it wasn’t worth moving (see pic of how close they are to one another) and CP doesn’t have water hookups.

The views are spectacular from the campground. Great spot for sunrises, sunsets and stargazing.

Old school camping fun

This is a huge campground. It feels like a true old-school “campground” not an rv resort or even an RV park. The kind of campground you loved as a kid. It is hilly with mature trees, although not every site has shade. It is very family friendly. There are RV sites, cabins, tent sites and park models. A lot of long term people live here. The sites are grassy or gravel and are very roomy and level. Lots of activities for the kids…basketball, horseshoes, volleyball, sizeable pool, and playground. This place is older but very clean. Very friendly staff. The lake is absolutely stunning. Snag a spot with a lake view if you can! (See map pic). 1-2 bars on AT+T.

Color explosion

Visit this campground in the fall and experience quintessential Vermont in all its glory. The campground is nice. The people are friendly. We stayed there the last week of the season so things were very quiet. Study the sites carefully because our “premium view site” looked into a boulder. If you squinted and closed one eye you could a piece of the lake out of one sliver of our windshield. Sites are very large and the campground is laid out in a very attractive way rather than typical straight rows. Lots of walking paths. Store with sandwich shop.

Tranquil hideaway

We love this COE park. Sites are huge and private. Not in the best part of town but feels safe and tucked away. Very peaceful and quiet. Hammock heaven.

On the beach

We’ve been here the past two winters. Great proximity to the beach. Depending on your site several are just steps from the beach (actually on the beach if you don’t need sewer). If you aren’t familiar with the beaches in this area, they are GORGEOUS! Crystal blue water and sugar white sand. This is in Miramar Beach close to Destin. Not a bad drive to 30-A (30 min without traffic).

As far as the campground…this place is tired. Sites are decent. Don’t shy away from buddy sites…they are some of the best/most spacious. Bathhouse/rest rooms are pretty clean. The location alone is what makes us come back. They have a 3 month special in the winter (Nov 30-Mar 1) if you stay during those dates it’s around $1000/month.

Okay

Of the three campgrounds on/near Hilton Head we’ve stayed in, this one is a distant third. It’s ok. A little tired. Super unfriendly in the restaurant. Location is pretty since it’s on the water. Good proximity to everything.

Beachside bliss

Location location location. Depends on what site you are in but the ocean is super close. For us it was right over the dunes (see pic).

Ooo la la

Our new favorite campground. This place isn’t even a year old. Everything is PRISTINE. The sites (concrete, level and ENORMOUS), the landscaping, the amenities…absolutely flawless. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. There is a gorgeous pool with lazy River that looks like a high end resort. The restaurant is great. There is a beautiful laundry facility and a great dog park. They have basketball, pickleball, splash pad, and a nice playground. The Waters Edge section is 18 and up and has its own gated entrance and pool. Many of those sites overlook HH National golf course. You can easily walk to the course. Lots of shady bike paths. They rent golf carts. The one and only negative for this place is that it’s pricey. But it’s more affordable than a hotel resort. I guess one other negative would be the proximity to the beach. If that is important to you, Hilton Head Motorcoach Resort is better. If you stay here try Underground Burrito in Old Town Bluffton (amazing).

Dirty

Pros: entrance/check-in area is very cute and welcoming, staff is extremely nice and accommodating. Cons: dirty, dumpsters were overflowing and the whole place smelled like a dump station, cats wandering around, our pull-thru site was unlevel and a mud pit, horrible road noise. Would never stay here again.

Countryside charm

This rv park abuts an Amish farm. The other side of the park is cornfields. Sites are grass but decently level and very spacious. No sewer hookups, but they have a dump station. That said, the dump station location is not great. It’s a the back of the park and a very tight squeeze for bigger rigs. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. If you are looking for bougie amenities, this place isn’t for you. If you are looking for a peaceful, friendly park oozing with countryside charm then give it a try.

Wonderful park

We loved this tucked away park. Beautiful setting. Perfect for golfers and non golfers alike. Golf packages are amazing. Sites are immaculate, spacious and level. Everything is clean and new. Will definitely stay here again.

Very nice place

We really enjoyed this park. VERY friendly staff. Very clean and well-maintained. Roomy sites. Even if you don’t get a water site, everything is in close proximity to the water. Adorable tiny houses…see pic.

Proximity is key

If we had to rate the campground itself, we would give it three stars max. The sites are very small and the whole place has a dirty beach vibe. But it’s located on a very pretty bay where you can watch boats as well as fighter jets from the naval air station. It’s 15 minutes from the heart of key west. There is a Cuban food truck in the park and I highly recommend the con leche! There is a well-stocked store as well. Watch for falling iguanas! They sun themselves in the trees.

Gorgeous place

We loved this park. We were right on the water which was a blessing and a curse. It was so pretty but airboats launched from the other side of the water and it was very noisy all day long. Park was pristine and well run. Only negative was the noise. In the future we will choose non waterfront or the furthest down from the entrance! Word of caution…watch for falling coconuts. One in the pic fell right next to where we were sitting. Would’ve killed our small pup!

Nice

Not the best place we’ve stayed…not the worst either. Pros: staff and owners are awesome, grounds are clean and well-maintained. Sites are fine (gravel, level, full hookups, spacious, fire ring/firewood on request, picnic table). Cons: road noise from highway is constant (video attached) and location (a tow vehicle is a must).

Five stars aren’t enough

Our five day stay is not long enough!This place is fabulous in every way. It’s huge, but feels very homey because of the layout and beautifully lush landscaping. The sites are incredible. Spacious, level, immaculate and private. The location is perfect…accessible to everything. We rode our bikes to the beach, the marina, restaurants, Starbucks, Publix, shops, etc. The community is gated, the staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. We are already looking at dates to come back for a longer stay. It is on the expensive side, but worth every penny.

Amenities out the wazoo

Gorgeous. Great layout. Tons of amenities. Slam dunk for a family with kids. Very much a “resort.” Pool, basketball courts, restaurant, gym, spa, market, gorgeous lake, etc. Five stars in that regard.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our only disappointment was the individual sites. We would rate them 3.5-4 stars max. They are level with full hookups, but very narrow and not much space for hanging out. Not very well landscaped or manicured like one would expect given the price and the overall beautiful aesthetic of the property. Our site was full of ants/ant piles, and sitting outside without being bitten was impossible.

Perfectly adequate

Definitely an RV park, not resort. No frills and packed tighter than sardines, but easy and convenient for a one night stay on the way to somewhere else. The RV park equivalent to a Red Roof Inn. Donna in the office is delightful. Rates are decent.
