Mission Bay RV Resort – San Diego, CA

Mission Bay RV Resort | RVBuddy.com

I have had a very pleasant stay Mission Bay RV resort.

There are two small laundry rooms but they do the job. Security is excellent and very friendly. The sites are larger than in most parks. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my rv needs. I didn’t use shower or bath so I don’t know about that.

What I do love about this park is the perfect location. Just a hop skip and a jump to the freeway, although it is far enough away not to hear it. It is very close to excellent and numerous bike trails and jogging trails. Right out the gate is a long lit walking trail that goes by the bay and has the most beautiful sunsets. Cable TV is very good with lots of great channels and even though I was in the back of campground I got good WIFI.

Amentites also include a large pavilion and lounge with games and recreational activities, convenience items such as ice and firewood are for sale at the front desk

Management has taken the time to plant lots of trees and bushes that add to the atmosphere of the campground and really dress it up!

I really have no complaints and after seeing the other RV parks nearby where people are packed like sardines, I think this was a good choice.

OBX Campgrounds – Kill Devil Hills, NC

OBX Campground | RVBuddy.com

I highly recommend OBX Campgrounds on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is a fairly new campground.

They have 56 sites, only for RVs, no tents. Each site has a full hookup including cable, electric, water and sewer. Each site is level and has a gravel base. Being new, the bath houses are very nice, clean, with lots of room in them. Only a few sites have trees, the rest are open, but there is plenty of room between each site.

We stayed five days in October 2019. A transportation vehicle is needed to go the the beach and see the sights in the area. This campgrounds is away from the main road and is a little less expensive than the others.

Before finding this campground we stayed one night at Kitty Hawk RV Park, which I would not recommend, it was not much more than a sand parking lot.

Holiday Trav-L-Park – Virginia Beach, VA

Holiday Trav-L-Park | RVBuddy.com

Holiday Trav-L-Park is a large, (over 1000 sites!) modern, well maintained campground with a friendly staff.

Sites are mostly level with some shady. Although a bit expensive, you’ve got to check out their “supersites”… they are roomy pull-through sites with paved entries and exits. These sites feature a large concrete pad with extended patio, a fire pit, picnic table, attractive landscaping, and full hookup pedestal including cable TV. Some supersites can accommodate combinations up to 90 feet long!

In season the beach trolley comes right into the park. They also have their own parking lot near the beach for beach goers. The campground is located about 3 miles south of the main beach area.

They also have rustic cabins, 24-hour security, a bike path directly to the beach, 8 comfort stations, 3 dump stations, 4 playgrounds, 4 large pools, a huge game room, a very impressive mini-golf course, 2 camp stores offering gifts, groceries, and supplies, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes and recreation facilities throughout the park! They also have a nice “Safaru Cafe” a snack bar featuring sandwiches, breakfasts, snacks, ice cream and more. Open seasonally. The campground is also pet-friendly!

During the in-season, you can listen to some of the best bands, DJs or entertainers at the main pool or the Pavilion. There’s also nightly bingo, evening hayrides and cartoon movies for the kids. They also have event weekends throughout the year.

This is a great campground with lot’s of amenities and things to do. Eastern Virginia is a vacation paradise, with beaches, theme parks, historic places, and shopping and Holiday Trav-L-Park is a perfect base for exploring the region.

Carlsbad KOA – Carlsbad, NM

Carlsbad KOA | RVBuddy.com

This is a great KOA park. It is a bit out of the way (about an hour from the caverns), and being in the middle of desert land can get quite windy, dusty and hot. The very nice landscaping is still very young so there is no shade.

It is also on the pricey side at $50+ per night. However, the camp hosts are probably the best we have ever run across. They are very accommodating and make you feel like you are a guest. None of this closing at 8:00 pm and never seeing anyone again.

They escorted us to our site, stood around and visited for a few minutes and actually had a little bottle of bleach solution that he poured on the faucet just to sanitize! I’ve never seen this before.

The sites are nice and level and our site had two dump valves to accommodate adjusting your rig so it’s positioned as your prefer. The playground is nice, the pool is great, and the restrooms are completely unbelievable.

Continuing a long tradition started by the original owners, they serve smoked meats and traditional sides that they will deliver right to your site.

Enota Mountain Retreat – Hiawasee, GA

Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy.com

We were delighted with the unexpected comfort and peace at Enota Retreat. The beauty of the North Georgia Mountains is captured in this sanctuary.

The campsites were exceptionally maintained. Our site (#18), had a deck overlooking a flowing stream which allowed for a flock of Cajun Crecent ducks to pass by twice a day. We hiked endless miles of trails straight from camp, including the A-Trail. The waterfalls were a spectacular end to our day hikes, and pictures simply can’t do them justice.

The acreage is expansive at Enota, and no sites are cramped together. The campfires are great in conjunction with the constant sounds of flowing water, and we found the most peaceful rest we have had in a long time. The staff took a special interest in making us welcome and comfortable.

We will be returning annually, and we truly believe that this is a must-stay for campers coming to the area. We’ve already invited all of our friends for the next trip.

Big Oaks Family Campground – Rehoboth Beach, DE

Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy

Thank goodness for great friends! They have been asking us to camp with them for years. Since our children are now teenagers with two planning their college days, we felt it was time to deliver on our promise… so last summer we went to Big Oaks!

Big Oaks Family Campground provided the perfect setting. The abundance of trees provided perfect shade, while the sparkling clean pool and well-maintained bathhouses with squeeky clean private showers added to our enjoyment. Not having camped since my husband and I were children, we opted to rent a cabin instead of using our tent. Again, we found our accommodations to be clean, neat and placed on a quiet cul-de-sac within 50 yards of the bathhouse. In addition, the campground’s proximity to both Rehoboth Beach and Boardwalk and Cape Henlopen’s Beach can’t be beat!

Big Oaks Campground has lots of activities during the summer season. Dancing, art contests, bingo, or join one of their tournaments (basketball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, or billiards).

The campground schedules their activities on Saturday evenings, and because some of their activities are held outside, can be weather dependent.

Amenities include a swimming pool, playground, game room, camp store, shuttle service, bath facilities, shuffleboard, picnic tables, fire rings, horseshoes, basketball court, laundry and free Wi-Fi at certain central locations.

Nearby are biking trails, the historic town of Lewes, Rehoboth Beach boardwalk, Deep-sea fishing, clamming and fishing, scuba diving, golf, water slides, outlet shopping, summer theater, art festivals, antique shops, restaurants, stores, laundromat, hardware, movies, churches, hospitals and doctors.

Thanks to Big Oaks Family Campground for a memorable experience we will be talking about for years to come.

Walkabout Camp and RV Park | RVBuddy.com

We stayed Walkabout Camp and RV Park on our way south to Florida this past spring. This is a nice little park with great owners. It’s not a destination park, but great for a short stay to explore the area or an overnight stopover when traveling I-95.

The campground is conveniently located at Exit 7 on I-95 between the city of Woodbine and Kingsland Georgia. 70 Full Hook Up. 30 and 50 amp sites… and all sites are pull thru!

Their amenities include a pavilion, pool, a clubhouse, laundry facilities, clean bathrooms, a dog park run, nature trails, a pickleball court and basketball court.

Their location is close to Historical St Marys, Amelia Island, Woodbine Opry, Cumberland Island, Okefenokee National Park Wildlife Refuge, Fernandina Beach, Submarine Museum, Jacksonville Zoo and more.

We will definately stop here again.

This is our second trip here. Great people and a nice little park. Again, not a destination park, but great for a short stay to look around the area or to rest on a trip.

Rest A While RV Resort – Hoodsport, WA

Rest A While RV Park | RVBuddy.com

This is a nice RV park right on Puget Sound with its own private beach. Some sites are about 10 foot from the water, others are set back in the woods nestled in the trees. Beach front sites are pull-thru, most of the forest sites are back-in.

The beach is a “food” beach as both oysters and clams are harvested there, so dogs are not allowed and playing on the beach is discouraged. If your interested in either clamming or oysters, call the parks for dates and time.

The little store in the office and a restaurant across the street are both handy. The Tides Restaurant is very popular and it’s because the food is great, sevice good but slow when full and price is right.

Park is located about 2 miles north of Hoodsport, just about the time you are sure I lied to you, you’ll see it on the east side of the road. Office on the west side of highway.

New Green Acres Camground – Walterboro, SC

New Green Acres RV Park | RVBuddy.com

If you are looking for an overnight stop right off I-95 (exit 53), New Green Acres Camground in Walterboro South Carolina is perfect. All the sites here (there are 106) are long pull throughs, “The longest and widest pull-thrus east of the Mississippi” they claim… and totally level.

The New Green Acres is the perfect campground after a long day’s travel – a complete no-brainer.  If you are late on the road, there is an after-hours check-in kiosk. They even have a fenced in pet area so your dogs can stretch their legs.  The bathhouses here are clean – nothing fancy. There is a small campstore if you need supplies.

Sites have electric hook-up (30 and 50 amp), water and sewer and cable. Other amenities include, a laundry, swimming pool, a playground, Free wifi, restrooms and showers, a dump station, club meeting facilities (enclosed with full kitchen facilities).

All the major chain restaurants are close by if you don’t want to cook. From McDonald’s, Waffle House, and Shoney’s, to Cracker Barrel and Ruby Tuesday.

Tiki Tom’s RV Park – Tiki Island, TX

Tiki Toms RV Park | RVBuddy.com

After staying in 99% marginal to poor RV parks with the exception of a big rig park in Newport, Oregon and Disney World in Orlando, Florida, I was amazed at the quality of Tiki Tom’s when we stayed here last fall.

The roads are paved, the sites are concrete, the grass is manicured and the bathrooms are squeeky clean! The washers and dryers are even free and all for a reasonable price per night considering that you are right on the Gulf of Mexico! I know he has monthly rates but the manager slipped us into a long term site knowing that we might have to interrupt our stay. We were there a week but will surely return, soon. This a class act.

The campground includes six areas of protected grassland along with several live oyster reefs, great for bird watching. Amenities include lighted fishing piers, a marina with boat slips and an observation deck, 30 and 50 amp electric circuits at all sites, sewer and water at all sites, Free Wifi (in the clubhouse only), a clubhouse facility with bathrooms/showers and washers & dryers, and a workout room.

The manager knows all about Tiki Island and all the amenities offered in the greater Galveston area. Don’t miss this park when in the greater Houston area.
