Turtle Rock RV Park – Gold Beach, OR
Turtle Rock RV Park was by far the worst campground we have ever visited. We were in site 94 from December 22nd to December 26th, 2007. The campground looked like something left over from New Orleans after Katrina hit.
Cottonwood Campground – Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND
WOW…I’d like to say that Cottonwood Campground was horrible and the hosts were mean and grumpy; but I’d be lying. It’s a great campground with sites for everybody from tents to trucks. We were secluded and comfortably shaded with a sprawling view of the Little Missouri River Valley. Wildlife was a constant presence to be watched and respected. Other people who brought generators used them sparingly and all were quiet-running, modern units.
The Roost Resort – Custer, SD
If you can’t find an RV park or campground near Custer, South Dakota, you just aren’t looking. The billboards and signs are a distraction from the natural beauty of the area. Most places we saw from the road were no-shade, lined-up tight RV Parks. If you read enough of my stuff, you know we seldom make reservations. I had a list of three places to look at, and Roost Resort was a decisive winner.
Badlands Interior Campground – Badlands, SD
Here’s a good reason to be flexible in your travel plans. As a base to visit Wall, South Dakota and the Badlands, we planned to stay at the National Park Campground. When we got there in early September it was over 100 degrees hot. We don’t have a generator and the National Park does not have electric. We would have had to live without a fan of any kind!
Sioux Falls KOA – Sioux Falls, SD
This was another one night stand for us. All of the services were typical of a High-Traffic KOA. The pool, showers, and store were clean and efficient. Without reservations, we were quickly checked in and escorted to our site. The nearby (and overhead) Interstate highway is an extreme distraction. The constant noise deterred any thoughts of relaxing outside.
Koch’s Meadow Lake Campground – Tipton, IA
We were only in for one night, but we’ll always remember this place. The Meadow and Small Lake are a nice scenic break from the miles of surrounding corn. Signs from I-80 are sketchy so finding the place is a challenge. The access roads from the Interstate are not paved. The dust is forever.
Gig Harbor RV Resort – Gig Harbor, WA
Gig Harbor RV Resort has 95 RV spots and a few tent spots is squeezed in a small area on a hillside, but it’s surrounded by lots of pine trees, with the pine smell being quite fragrant! You will feel like you are in a state park!
Maryhill State Park – Goldendale, WA
Maryhill is a very nice state park along the Columbia River with 20, 30, and 50 amp service and sewer hookup in the utility sites. In the winter, it’s a good spot to overnight only, as it is somewhat bleak and cold. The utility spots, which are on gravel, have both pull-through and back-in. The pull-through spots are on the outer edge of the loop. The pull-through spots are “arc’d” in a half circle; however, it’s a wide arc, so you can easily “bend” your RV around it. Some of the pull-through spots have a great view of the river! The back-in spots are in the center of the loop. The camping spots, including the standard, each have a picnic table and a fire pit and have great spacing so you aren’t right next to your neighbor.
Millersylvania State Park – Olympia, WA
Millersylvania State Park is located south of Olympia, WA. There are 120 tent spaces and 48 utility spaces. The utility spaces do not have sewer… there is one “community” sewer dump for the whole park.
The maximum campsite length is 60 feet. Standard campsites (tents) are restricted to 35 feet, due to the park’s tight, narrow roadways in the standard campsite section. Most of the utility spots at this state park are on paved asphalt pads. The paved pads, which are relatively level, are all “out in the open.” There are a few utility spots among the trees, but those are on gravel/dirt. The “standard” spots are on dirt among the trees. Although the utility sites don’t have a “defined” tent area, you could squeeze a very small tent in.
