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.

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 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

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

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.

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.

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.

Rancho Verde is a very nice, quiet, clean and well kept smaller RV park.

Pricing are very reasonable. They have very good management. The bathrooms and laundry rooms clean and well maintained. The campground is located in a treed area with a creek nearby.

The park has mature shade trees, gravel pads with concrete patios, grass areas, a seasonal creek and dog park. Complimentary WiFi is available throughout the park. It’s a “Dark Sky Community”. Family owned and operated.

Camp Verde is a city with good restaurants and other well know stores and services. It’s a great central location with a good climate The campground is close to Sedona, Red Rocks State Park, Cottonwood, Out of Africa Wildlife Park, Montezuma’s Castle, Montezuma’s Well, and other attractions.

I recommend it!

Yosemite Pines RV Resort – Groveland, CA

Last summer our family took our RV on the road so we could enjoy our stay where ever we are. We have room for five to sleep comfortable. I just loved Yosemite Pines RV Resort! We had a choice of full hook-ups or just water/electricity. We selected the full hookup because the costs were so reasonable.

There were quite a few other RV families like us, and everyone got together and had a fine time. Our children met others the same age and were able to swim and play sports together. We met people we will stay in contact with. When the kids were out using up their energy, us more sedate folks took in a movie.

Yosemite Pines RV Resort has something for everyone it seems. They have these huts and places to pitch a tent. They have very nice cabins that sleep up to 10 or 12. And you get to choose what kind of slot you want for your RV. Since we didn’t have to worry about it being too warm, we choose a place where we had beautiful outdoor views.

The staff and management were very accommodating. They told us about things we could do in the area as well as just visiting Yosemite. When we drove through Yosemite it was more than I expected. The snow capped mountains looked like they should be in a Hollywood movie. The kids were interested in all the Indian names for cities and creeks.

We had our own fire pit where we could cook out and different folks took turns cooking for the others. It was wonderful! Yosemite RV Park has a very homey feeling for those who are away from their actual homes.

Lake Aire RV Park and Campground was a beautiful park located just south of downtown Charleston, South Carolina.

They have 92 large, level sites with picnic tables and fire rings. They also have 18 tent sites. Our kids really enjoyed the playground and pool. We enjoyed a nice quiet night by the campfire.

Amenities also include: a stocked private lake (catch and release), public use charcoal grills, a large pavilion, horseshoe pits, bocce ball and FREE wireless internet. The campground is also pet-friendly!

Lake Aire RV park is about 20 minutes from historic downtown Charleston. It makes an excellent base camp for one-day trips to local plantations, Ft. Sumpter, historic Charleston or Folly Beach. There are many points of interest nearby. You could probably spend several weeks exploring this part of the state.

We will be returning. We have been to mostly all the parks in the Charleston area and this one was the friendliest, cleanest, and still “natural.”
