Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy.com

I love Hidden Oaks RV Park! The owners are very nice and friendly. The restrooms are nice and clean the laundry room is nice and clean and it has vending machines.

They have a playground for the kids and for your fur baby they have a dog park and a dog walk. It’s is well worth the $29.00 per night or $150.00 per week .

Harbor Belle RV Resort – Punta Gorda, FL

I would not recomment staying at Harbor Belle RV Resort.

This is a privately owned RV park. The owners have basically closed all the facilities in this park while we were there. We have two clubhouses. One basically for books, puzzles, videos, exercise equipment and group activists. The other is a large clubhouse for dinners, park gatherings and dinners with live music. All this recent closed. The facilities were open for about one month since covid started. They refused to open the facilities after the Governor opened the state and opened them for a few weeks after requiring everyone who wanted to use the facilities sign a document from their lawyers saying we would not sue them if contacting covid.

We currently have the pool open limited to 5 people the hot tub 4 people. Rent is around $620 a month and is raised by at least $50 a year.

If you want a place just to stay without any activities, this is it. The location is close to the harbor and clean. living in lockdown in an open state!

Shore Hills Campground – Boothbay, ME

Shore Hills Campground | RVBuddy.com

Shore Hills is a very nice campground, with very large wooded sites and waterfront sites available. The campground has a very helpful and courteous staff and they offer a shuttle service to Boothbay Harbor several times a day.

They have a store and gift shop for groceries, supplies, wood, ice, souvenirs and information about the area. They have waterfront, open and wooded sites, full hookups with 30/50 Amp, cable tv, paved roads, picnic tables and fireplaces. Amenities also include hot showers, a laundry, public phones, propane and a dumping station.

The campground restrooms are dated but clean. The one drawback of this park to families is the lack of a swimming pool, but that did not bother us.

We camped here in a motorhome in October 2019.

Jantzen Beach RV Park – Portland, OR

Jantzen Beach Campground - Portland, OR | RVBuddy.com

I almost passed on Jantzen Beach RV Park because of previous reviews. I am so glad that I didn’t.

The location is good. It’s a short drive to Portland Downtown and the “interesting things” to see. It is true that arriving in Portland during rush hour is a problem, and rush hour begins at 2:30. All traffic is eventually routed onto a limited number of bridges, which will cause delays. However, prior to 4:00, the delay isn’t long.

Jantzen’s is a pleasing park. Lots of grass, three pools, a reasonable gym, and nice people to welcome you. It’s very nice place for dog walking. I do not notice a noise problem. I was there for two nights, Friday and Saturday. Train whistles can be heard, starting about 9:30PM. The last was at 11:30 PM on Friday and there were very few prior to that. I didn’t notice any road noise at all during my entire stay.

There are long term RVers. However, there are none of the problems we associate with that description. This park is well managed, well maintained, and a great place to stay, long term or just overnight. My motorhome is 42′. I tow a car, and had no problem maneuvering within the park. I would have rated this park a 10, but for the poor Wi-Fi where we were. I will definitely make a reservation at this park for my next trip to Portland. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Savannah South KOA – Richmond Hill, GA

Savannah South KOA | RVBuddy.com

We had the pleasure of meeting some of the staff at the Savannah South KOA and they were a sheer delight. They were enthusiastic and friendly and extremely willing to help.

We were more than happy with our stay! They have won several awards for their improvements and seem to be striving to keep the improvements going.

The campground has large pull thrus, wifi, cable tv, fishing, a large pool (in season) a coin-operated RV wash and plenty of recreation. Be sure to check out the waterfowl that flocks to the 35-acre fishing pond. Rent a boat here and join them for a relaxing float.

A nice feature is their sightseeing tours… You choose the day for your Savannah tour and they will have the tour bus pick you up in front of the office at 9:00AM and drop you off around 5:00PM. Tickets available for purchase in the office. The Old Town Trolley offers a Paula Deen Tour as well that includes dinner at her restaurant Lady & Sons with VIP seating and no waiting in line! Your own transportation to Downtown Savannah is required for the Paula Deen Tour.

The scenery is beautiful and the serenity is priceless.  They are located less than a mile from I-95, exit 87 in Richmond Hill, Georgia.

Tallahassee East RV Park – Monticello, FL

Tallahassee East RV Park | RVBuddy.com

Tallahassee East RV Park is close to the Interstate, but have to go several miles from the exit to get to the park although the park is right next to I-10. There is some road noise where they put the short timers, but it wasn’t so loud as to be annoying and traffic died down a lot in the evening.

Check in was easy and pleasant. It’s a Good Sam park, but we aren’t members, so it cost us $48.00. Even with Good Sam, it would have been over $43.00. That’s a bit high but for one night we can handle it. This park is just about halfway from home and my brother in law near De Funiak Springs, so the convenience is worth something.

The roads are dirt and rough in places. The sites are dirt and grass. Ours, D-4 was slightly off level, but our wood pieces fixed that. It had full hookup. The power has on-off switches.

The park is an old one, but it is clean as were the restrooms. I couldn’t get any hot water to wash my hands, and I ran it a good long time.

There are a lot of long timers, but the ones we saw were friendly, with waves and smiles.
There is a laundry with good looking washers and dryers, but the roof leaks over the folding table. How well the washers work is not known. We had some garbage to deposit. The one Dumpster was slap full but it was after the weekend!

There is a nice looking pool, but it was empty for the winter I suppose. There is a nice Rec Room and there is a small store in the office with stuff you might need.

Be careful when you walk. Someone doesn’t pick up after their dog.

At the exit from the interstate there are several gas stations, and some fast food restaurants. We bought gas at the Chevron, and had no trouble maneuvering our 25 foot travel trailer.

Bottom line… A bit expensive for what you get, but we will most likely stop there again. The grounds are easy to drive in and most sites are pull thru. They aren’t far apart, but not right on top of each other either. They are long enough so we didn’t need to unhook. There are many trees but they are not in the way.

Honeys Park Free Dry Camp n Dog Park – Arco, ID

Honey's Dry Camping | RVBuddy.com

If you ever need a spot to stay with little services, but no fee, a friendly owner with a campfire and a free beer waiting for you; stop on in. If you’re looking for a regular RV park type camp, go next door to the KOA. But if you stop at Honeys you’ll have more fun. His site makes fun of even his own campground, but it’s really just a safe harbor for those tired of, or who can’t afford to pay for RV parks.

It’s named after a dog, and is in fact a total dog park. Off leash everywhere, owner would kick an unfriendly human out long before kicking out a friendly dog. Even has a memorial tree grove for you to plant a memorial to your companions if you wish.

Check it out www.honeyspark.weebly.com or on pretty much every app, google, etc.

Cain’s Creekside RV Park – Hahira, GA

Cain's Creekside RV Park | RVBuddy.com

This is a small RV park, (50 total sites), but it’s a nice one. The price is right, $25 a nite with our Passport discount. Located on Hwy 41 North. It’s about 2 miles from Hahira, Ga. Take exit 29 into Hahira, and turn left on 41.

The roads and sites are gravel. Most of the sites are pretty level. Ours, #5 was off a little but we carry boards just for that. The water is good, and the electric seems to be strong. The WiFi works if you are close to the office, and is good for checking e-mail. Each site has 50, 30 and 20 amp. plugs with on/off switches. The sites are close, but some have bushes and/or fences between. There is road noise from I-75 and Hwy 41, but not really loud unless you are outside. The sites where we were, had virtually no shade. The other section across the creek has shade. There is no bridge over the creek, but if you don’t mind driving through water, there is a way to get over there in the park. There is an entrance off the main road also.

There are 2 ponds, with fish and ducks. One pond has fishing. Catch and release. I caught a Catfish about 8 inches long on bread balls. If you walk on the grass alongside them, watch your step.

The park seems to be pretty well maintained. It’s mostly clean and mowed. The restroom and showers are clean. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. The tables seem to need repair or replacing.

The closest big stores are in Adel, about 11 miles away. If you go up Hwy 41, turn left at the light and head West on Rte. 37 toward the interstate. It’s a very busy place!

Hahira is a neat little town, with friendly people and a nice downtown with many shops. There was a tree lighting at the Old Depot and a Craft show while we were there.
Bottom line: It’s a great place to stay. Great rates, friendly people and a relaxing atmosphere.

Hickories Park – Owego, NY

Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy.com

Hickories Park is run by the Village of Owego, New York. The campground has full hookup, first come sites for anything from motor-homes to tents.

It cost us $25 a night for our travel trailer. The sites are gravel and very level. The roads are paved. It has a large fenced in dog park. The village of Owego is a small, charming town, with a great downtown made for walking. There are shops, restaurants, and gas stations. A laundromat is close by.

The park is on the Susquehanna river. It has easy access from the Southern Tier Expressway. When you come off the expressway and across the bridge, your GPS might tell you to turn right. Don’t do it. The park is to the right, but the road to it goes under the bridge. Turn left, and at the light turn left again towards the McDonald’s.

We have family in the area, and stay there every time we visit.

Sugar Mill RV Park – Ochlocknee, GA

Sugar Mill RV Park | RVBuddy.com

We camped at Sugar Mill RV Park in November, 2020. It is a nice clean campground and easy to get to.

The interior roads are dirt, as are the sites. The site markings are kind of mixed up, but, workable. Our site, #25 was a full hookup pull thru site that was pretty level. The rates are good for our travel trailer. However, there is a busy highway (Rt 19) close by with a lot of heavy truck traffic. But, it dies down in the evening.

Amenities include 2 Clubhouses, 2 Gazebos, Free Wireless Internet, Shuffleboard and Horseshoes, a Coin Laundry Facility, 3 Stocked Fishing Ponds, and easy access to I-10 and I-75.

Sugar Mill RV Park is located about an hour drive from Valdosta, Bainbridge, Albany and Tallahassee, Florida. Nearby Thomasville, is a quaint southern town, with a downtown made for walking, and lots of shops and restaurants. It is an easy 8 miles away. We enjoyed our 3 days there and will be back again when we are in the area.
