This Yogi Bear’s Jellystone park is a great campground.
The park has nice, clean pull thru sites with plenty of room between sites. The property has paved streets and the sites have concrete pads, fire pits, picnic tables. If you have kids this is the place to be.
The owners seem to take a lot of pride in this campground.
Okay, so I cannot say enough about Garden of the Gods RV Park! I LOVE it, and so does my family!
Pros:
1.) Beautiful setting throughout the grounds with some trees, birds, and squirrels(even adorable, black ones), and deer. They even have a fenced in area where they keep bees!
2.) Spaces are close together & gravel, but we do not mind.
3.)Three conveniently spaced bathhouses to chose from & two of them include a laundry area as well.
4.) All bathrooms are SUPER CLEAN & UPDATED.
5.) We always feel safe & secure, because the only entrance and exits to the park are right by the main office with video surveillance.
6.) The location is close to restaurants and a super short drive to Old Town & even Manitou Springs; my husband & I have actually walked to Old Town from the RV Park.
7.) We are a somewhat younger couple (late 30s to early 40s), and we have a 3-year old son. He absolutely loves the atmosphere at the park, and I love it because he is learning about things like bees.
8.) They have a playground, gift shop with lots of the essentials & more.
9.) Friendly staff with an escort to help guide you to your site.
10.) It is a very chill place, where people are nice, but they keep to themselves. They do not appear to have permanent residents.
11.) No year model restrictions on the RV.
They have a privately-operated restaurant on the grounds. We only ate breakfast there, however they may offer lunch & dinner as well. Prices were not bad for the convenience. For example, the biscuits & gravy were great, and you got 2 biscuits for only $3. Pancakes were only $5 for a short stack or $8 for a full stack and they both included the option for sausage or bacon. The people were really nice that prepared the food.
I do not have a pet, but I did notice a fenced in pet area. Also, numerous people were out walking their dogs. There is a pool although we have only stayed in the off-season, so it is not warm enough to use. They also have an arcade, although we have never used it.
Cons:
1.) We were unable to get a pull-through. However, that may be more of our fault, because we did arrive on short notice with a same day reservation.
SUGGESTIONS: I think they should update the playground area and maybe add a year-a-round hot tub.
I absolutely love Tecopa Hot Springs Resort.
The mineral waters in the tubs (and all around in the natural pools) are absolutely invigorating. I don’t know what it is about the water there but it sucks away muscle tension instantaneously and as a high stress person living in a 24/7 city like Las Vegas, that is absolutely necessary.
I try to come out monthly during the on season. The locals are an incredible group of artists and inventors and the town really has a unique personality. And the stars, well… go see for yourself.
Okay, so this is NOT a resort, but more of place that you stay for a couple of days or less. For that, I HIGHLY recommend it. Also, this in one of the FEW decent places in the Denver area that allow RV older than 15 years!! We paid $40 a night for full hook-up; we only use electric though.
Pros:
1.) Staff was excellent and super friendly.
2.) They only have one bathhouse, but the grounds are small so really no more are needed.
3.) The individual showers inside the bathroom areas have a code-entry for extra security.
4.) The bathhouse was always clean.
5.) They have a BRAND NEW playground that is rather large.
6.) They have a large, covered pavilion with picnic tables.
Cons:
1.) They did not have a pull-through available, however it probably could have happened if I would have made prior arrangements; I just called right before heading over there.
2.) I had to leave my car dolly in a gravel parking lot on the grounds — not in sight from my rv. No issues occurred, but I did not feel safe about it.
3.) Small check-in shack/shed that makes guests have to stand in the elements; although the attendant did invite us in to do the paperwork since it was raining.
Here’s my review of Shoreline RV Campground in Crescent City, California.
Pros: Beautiful Views from your RV site (Lighthouse, etc.), Beach-front access, Many pull-through sites, Pretty cheap @ $34.00 a night for 2 people (electric & water) — Each additional person is $3.00, Grounds were clean, Bathrooms were clean, Location was close to restaurants and activities, Park seemed secure/safe, Was able to get a spot with no prior notice.
Bathrooms were dated, but I do not think that is really a negative thing. Also, there were no trees at the sites, but it kind of reminded me of camping on the beach, because the ocean was so close. At night, you can hear the faint ARF-ARF of the sea lions.
Cons: Not the friendliest, on-site staff, but not terrible. He just did not have a very warm personality upon check-in. They live above the bathhouse, and he was adamant about not slamming the door when coming and going from the bathhouse facilities because it wakes them up. Unfortunately, the door will slam automatically if you do not remember to catch it. It was a pain for me to know they were upset, because I could not remember to catch the door every time; not the feeling you want a guest to feel. Only one bathhouse/bathroom area which can be a little inconvenient, and it was close to the entrance instead of near the center of the park.
Amenities: Bathrooms, Showers, & Laundry — nothing fancy, just the basics. Still a WIN-WIN for the price.
My Pros & Cons will be different from yours, but I tried to just roll with it from my experience. My cons about the bathroom may not even apply to you, if you use your RV facilities, which we do not; we solely rely on the bathhouse for everything.
This RV park has way more PROS than CONS. I would totally stay here again, and I would recommend it for an overnight stay to others.
If you are passing through Paducah Kentucky and wish to be close to historical downtown, stay at Duck Creek RV Park.
The campground is under new ownership. The young couple who own it, Todd and Dana couldn’t be nicer. The staff is also very nice and helpful. We spent 4 months with them and upon our departure we felt like family. It’s located off Exit 11 of Interstate 24.
Friendly RV Park is a very cute little campground located near Weed, California. Although it’s a “just the basics” kind of park, they do have laundry facilities and WiFi. The cable is fairly decent, a little over 50 channels.
The park is located within a very short walk of a few restaurants (both “fast food” and “sit down”) and a gas station with a convenience store. The “pull through” spots are in the center of the park, and the configuration is “front and back twosies.” This means, if you are in the front, someone could pull in behind you. If you are in the back, and the front person doesn’t leave when you do, then you have to back out, and can’t “pull through.” (There ought to be a separate category for this, it’s the second time I have seen it!) If you don’t want to be “paired,” then request a perimeter site, which will be “back in.” The perimeter sites have tall pine trees.
This is a great “stopover” place on your way north or south on Interstate 5.
In late October 2016 I spent 10 nights at Sugarloaf Key/Key West KOA. Positives: All campground staff were very friendly, helpful, and hard workers for their customers. They made you feel welcomed. This was the 7th campground I stayed in during the last 2 months and KOA Sugarloaf was my second favorite.
I paid for internet as anticipated… the Nomad site was fast with no interruptions… Yahoo!!!
Not so positives: My campsite was quite small, no cement or grass, but very clean and level. Cable was free but reception was very poor. I could not view the sunrise, sunset, or the big open water from the campground nor was my $90+/night beachfront campsite private. The beach is shared with the whole campground so at times my space was invaded. It was quite busy and noisy with people cutting through my site. Was this my misunderstanding of a beachfront campsite?
The campground is located right by US 1 so the traffic was heavy and noisy throughout the night. Would I return? Absolutely. I just would not pay for a beachfront site but rather a less expensive one tucked within the quieter, more private spaces of the campground.
We selected Sacramento River RV Park based on our web research. This was our destination after a long day’s drive and we arrived after dark (and it was too late to find another option).
To our disappointment, the tent area was directly across the river from a lumber mill which operated throughout the night. As sound carries over water, it was as if we had pitched our tent amid forklifts and heavy equipment with the din of the noise in our ears throughout the night.
Also to note, the grass was in desperate need of cutting, and there was rubbish rested in the BBQ. The toilet stall door did not secure and the toilet was loose and wobbly. There was no one at the office when we arrived or when we left the next morning. We did provide a written request for a no charge or a discount, however we were charged in full.
This park should really provide full disclosure on their website about offensive noise levels. This sleepless night will not be soon forgotten and we hope no other tent campers suffer as we did.
Cabin Creek RV Park is a clean and well groomed campground.
The campsites are very close together, and it’s close to highway 17 and the air base… traffic and plane noise. The campground has a good WIFI signal, although I never got the cable to work. They do have a laundry and showers but we didn’t use them.
