Turtle Rock Resort – Gold Beach, OR

Turtle Rock RV Resort | RVBuddy.com

Turtle Rock Resort is by far the best RV park we have ever stayed at.

We were driving up the Southern Oregon Coast and needed a place to stay for the night. We pulled up and were immediately invited to a community barbecue that took place in the Resort’s beautifully finished common room (full kitchen, large flat screen tv, extensive library, movies…). We were treated to live music by one of the guests, a delicious potluck meal and a slide show of the surrounding area put together by another guest.

It was like finding an oasis. We were surprised once again when we went to take a shower to find a double shower head with double benches in their very clean, newly finished restrooms. There is a trail directly from the Resort to the beach which we enjoyed in the morning.

We don’t generally stay at RV parks unless our Pleasure Way van needs a night of being plugged in, preferring state parks. RV parks to us are usually just concrete slabs so the Turtle Rock Resort was a pleasant and unexpected surprise.

Don’t miss it. It’s a great place to use as a base for exploring the spectacular Southern Oregon Coast.

Located just off of I-95 at exit 223 this clean, well maintained KOA park is a great spot for a stopover or for touring the Cape Canaveral/Kenndy Space Center areas.

Tahoe Valley Campground – South Lake Tahoe, CA

Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy

Tahoe Valley Campground is a nice park with a wonderful ambiance among the tall trees of this scenic valley. The park is located right in town and close to all the casinos, yet it’s tucked away and back in among trees, so you really feel like you are in the boonies.

The campground more than 400 sites, full hookups, pull-troughs, with water, electric and sewer. The staff was wonderful, very friendly and accommodating… they didn’t know the meaning of the word “no”. One nice touch when we checked in: a member of the staff will drive you around to select your site in a golf cart!

Tahoe Valley Campground had a good variety of amenities including a playground area, pool, basketball and tennis courts, horseshoe pits, a general store, laundry, wi-fi and more.

During the summer, they have all types of activities, like a pancake breakfast every Saturday and Sunday, arts and crafts and three live music events over the season. The campground is pet-friendly too!

There’s shopping nearby! Great atmosphere. Will be back again and recommend this park to our friends.

Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay KOA – Watsonville, CA

Santa Cruz/Monterey KOA | RVBuddy.com

I must tell you about an excellent campground our family stayed at recently.

The Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay KOA is an older campground but very well maintained. The park has some beautiful landscaping and many of the sites are wooded. The restrooms and showers are clean and the staff was helpful and friendly.

They have a year round heated pool, bike rentals and a nice video game room for the kids. Other amenities include a hot tub, KOA Express Fun Train, large playground, basketball court, bike rentals, an outdoor cinema, campfire theater, and also a dog park.

The property is only one mile to the Pacific Ocean so you could walk to the beach. This is a great location to explore the Monterey Bay area… Monterey Bay Aquarium, Fisherman’s Wharf, Santa Cruz Boardwalk, or Pebble Beach golf course.

This campground makes a great base camp for exploring the California coast and was a great place to stay.

Denton Ferry is a beautiful RV park located right on the White River. Great views! Trout fishing right at the campground. The park is quiet, clean and well maintained. Staff was extremely friendly and available most of the time.

Denton Ferry RV Park small, with only 44 sites, all with full service hook-ups (50/30 amp electric, water and sewer). Roads are paved and comfortably wide. There are 17 riverfront sites and 27 pull-thrus.

There’s a really cool riverside walking park with two natural spring fed ponds and a picturesque meadow.

The clubhouse/office area is very nice with a small convenience store that stocks a limited amount of groceries and camping supplies. Very nice lounge area too. Facilities were neat and clean. The “community” fire pit is a nice touch. There is also biking trails, boat rentals, laundry, a hospitality room with TV, games, dining areas, and library open to all guests. There’s also shopping and golf nearby.

This is one of the nicest RV parks we’ve ever stayed. I recommend it to all my friends.

Wild Duck Campground is a 70 site, Adult-only campground (not even any visitors under 21 allowed), located in the middle of Maine Audubon’s Scarborough Marsh, state’s largest salt water marsh, and Maine Audubon’s property.. The park is very quiet and clean, with a helpful staff. We camped here last August for a long weekend.

It is near Old Orchard Beach and some great seafood restaurants. While they have features, (no pool or playground), it’s a nice relaxing campground.

Adirondack Camping Village is a family operated campground located in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains at the northern edge of Lake George Village. It’s a quiet, well maintained park just far enough away from the traffic and crowds of the village yet close enough to be convenient.

Campsites are mostly wooded with plenty of shade. The campground staff were very friendly and the facilities were clean and well maintained. This park has over 160 campsites (full hookups (50 and 30-amp), water & electric (20 & 30 amp), seasonal sites, 3 restrooms, each with hot showers, camp store (ice, wood, groceries, camping supplies, gifts, antiques), dumping station, and laundry facilities

Winthrop KOA – Winthrop WA

WOW. Our first impression of Winthrop KOA was just that. We stayed here for a few days last August. The sites are grassy, level and spacious. The staff was so helpful and friendly, we signed up for a third night and would stay longer if we could.

The WIFI worked at our site but I don’t think that it’s the case everywhere. You might need to roam around a bit or head to the main office where the signal is much better.

Over-the-air tv reception doesn’t come in that great, we couldn’t get much with our built-in antenna mostly because the park is in a hole and the reception was so weak, the TV kept cutting off. Oh well… we’re camping. We should be outside anyway.

Hunting, fishing, hiking, biking are all available in the area. Town is about a mile away and while its mostly tourist and antique shops, the Shafer Historical Museum is awesome and worth the trip.

The Laundramat is clean. The little store has anything you might need but if not there is a grocery store and a hardware store about a block down the road.

This one’s a keeper….

Petoskey RV & Cabin Resort – Petoskey, MI

Wow! This is one exceptional campground! Our friends recommended Petoskey RV Resort to us, but we were a little wary… everyone seems to have a different impression of what a good RV park is. Anyway, last summer we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The campground was absolutely beautiful!

It’s a gated park. There are paved streets throughout the campground with level, paved sites, each with a large concrete patio. Individual sites were a little on the small size, none the less comfortable even with our large rig.

The park layout is cozy, especially at night and sites are scattered among shade trees, manicured lawns and tastefully placed landscaping. There’s a beautiful pavilion, snack bar, swimming pool, hot tub, playground and plenty of planned activities (in season). There’s WiFi, and cable tv too!

The staff was friendly and the facilities were clean and well maintained. This is a Sun RV Resorts affiliated campground. We’ve stayed at may campgrounds throughout the country and this is one of the best!

Sleepy Hollow RV Park & Campground – Oxford, IA

Sleepy Hollow RV Park | RVBuddy.com

Sleepy Hollow RV Park is a nice little campground located on a small lake in Oxford, Iowa… near Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.

Many of the sites are terraced and surround the lake. We camped here in 2019 with our 38′ class A. We found that a good portion of the sites were too short for our rig but there were some pull thrus that were just fine.

The facilities were clean and the staff was friendly. On holiday weekends, the campground has a playground, pool, a camp store, even hayrack rides… and lots of kid-focused themed activities every Saturday during the summer season. There is also a basketball court, playground, volleyball court, horseshoes, and free fishing.

There are several area attractions in the area including Amana Colonies (12 miles away), the Williamsburg Outlet Mall (10 miles away), and Kalona, a working Amish community (10 miles away).

This is a great family-friendly campground and I recommend it to my friends
