Indian Point Campground, Branson, MO

A wonderful experience! Indian Point is a US Army Corps of Engineers campground.

The property is heavily wooded, and private with large spaces between campsites… it’s quiet and pleasant. None of the sites are full-hookups but quite a few have electric and water. There is a dump station on-site and very clean restrooms/showers.

Indian Point Campground is about 5 minutes from Silver Dollar City and very close to all Branson attractions. We had a very nice time here and would highly recommend it to any of our friends.

We arrived at Waters Edge RV Resort and found the office staff to be very friendly and informative.

The campground was on the lake for boating and fishing which was wonderful and it was clean and neat; however, the spaces were closer together than they appear in pictures. Had it been a busy season, we would have been disappointed with so many campers so close together. We had planned to stay from 5/10 until 5/15 but out stay was cut short. We were not informed about the underground electrical work that was scheduled right behind our 5th wheel. The office staff was also unaware this work had been scheduled. While we were gone our electrical power was turned off. We “could” have lost all our refrigerated food had we not had an automatic switch to propane to keep things cool. Since the work (involving a 3 man crew and backhoe) affected all the full hookup sites, we had to move to another campground in the area after only two nights.

Everyone was apologetic and we did find another campground nearby that was very nice. Had this been two weeks later, another campground with an opening might have been impossible to find.

Nashville KOA – Nashville, TN

We had a great time at the Nashville KOA! The campground is located just off the Briley Parkway on Music Valley Drive… just a short distance from the Opry Mills, a 1.2 million-square-foot shopping, entertainment and dining complex with more than 200 shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

The campground has a great little music barn with live entertainment from May thru October. When we were their we were treated to an excellent 5 piece country rock band that played mostly cover music with one or two original songs in the list. Definitely a cut above your typical campground entertainment.

The park itself was very neat and clean. Interior roads were paved and the sites were comfortable. The area we stayed in was well shaded by trees and close to many of the campground amenities. A large free-form pool mini-golf, playgrounds and game room gave the kids plenty to do. The campground is large (over 400 sites) but really doesn’t look it. There’s a good selection of RV sites with full hook-ups.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and good entertainment… our weekend at the Nashville KOA went by quickly. I wish we had time to spend a few more days there. We’ll be back.

Hershey Highmeadow Campground – Hershey, PA

I would rate Hershey Highmeadows campground a 7 out of 10. Being associated with the Hershey name, you can expect a well run, first-class operation. The campground has a good selection of amenities with 2 pools, a game room, playgrounds, basketball and vollyball, laundry facilities and a nice country store and gift shop. The interior roads and individual campsites are well maintained. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. There are some open areas and others with a good amount of shade trees.

There is a downside… the sites are a little on the small side and there is an active operating railroad that runs along one side of the property. I would definately ask for something away from the railroad tracks.

In season there is a shuttle service to Hershey Park… very convenient if you didn’t tow your own vehicle, because the park is quite a distance from the campground and I wouldn’t like to walk it. Even if you don’t want to visit the theme park, I would encourage you to take in the free chocolate tour.

Mueller State Park – Divide, CO

My husband and I decided to go to Mueller State Park, in Divide, Colorado for a quiet weekend in our 5th wheel not too far from home. Mueller State Park is a beautiful setting, scenic, quiet in April and very enjoyable! The park is clean, nice level sites surrounded by trees. A nice example of why so many tourists flock to Colorado.

The only negative was that the Park Rangers seemed over zealous about telling us the rules for dogs. The first afternoon a Park Ranger stopped to remind us that dogs were not allowed on the trails (he noticed us standing at the entrance to a trail with our dog who was leashed. The 2nd reminder was when I had taken our border collie off the leash to lift him up into our truck. At the same time my husband jumped in the truck to back it up to hook the 5th wheel to the hitch. I had to wait for him to stop the vehicle so I could then continue to put our dog in the back. At that very moment a Park Ranger drove by, saw me and our unleashed collie sitting quietly together beside the road waiting for the truck to stop and we were again reminded the rules for dogs in the park. I explained the situation and she was very nice about it but I wondered if they are overly anxious to do their job since it is so early in the season or if this is what you can expect if you want to enjoy the park with your dog.

Tiki Tom’s RV Park – Tiki Island, TX

Pros: Tiki Tom’s RV Park has great waterfront and fishing piers, and it’s clean.

Cons: Road noise (too close to IH-45), proximity to scruffy fish camp down the road, and the sites are a little tight, and pricey for what you get. They also have no pool and, in my opinion the manager is rude. They are really big with rules and regulations far beyond the usual RV park norms of behavior. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy

During a road trip through New England in June 2009, we decided to spend some time in the White Mountains. We visited three of the National Forest Service Campgrounds. Dolly Copp is the biggest, but in our opinion, too crowded. Jigger Johnson offers hot showers and electric service, therefore is very popular. At Passaconaway there are no hookups. Water spigots are available to fill your tanks and vault toilets. The rustic nature of the place appealed to us.

If you’ve got a big rig, I would recommend parking at the gate and taking a short walking tour to determine if you are comfortable driving in. Some turns are tight and there are some low branches.

The camp host does a nice job keeping the place clean and firewood is available at his site. Several hiking trails begin at the parking area across the highway. We enjoyed three nights of quiet seclusion. If dry camping appeals to you, this is a nice place to spend some time.

Poche Plantation Camping RV Park – Convent, LA

My husband and I recently stayed at Poche Plantation Camping RV Park and we were very happy with out stay. This park is in a great location. We have family in the Baton Rouge area and wanted to spend a few days visiting New Orleans and the location could not have been better.

The campground is very clean and quiet and it surrounds the Poche Plantation home which made for a one-of-a-kind experience for us. The couple that manages the park lives on-site and were very friendly and helpful, letting us know about the local attractions. The park is located within a short distance of several other plantations and we were able to visit Houmas House and Oak Alley during our stay. Several restaurants are nearby and we would never have found them without their direction and these places would be considered a best-kept secret … the food was fantastic.

This Park offers a large cottage with attached washeteria that was very convenient for us since our 5th wheel does not have a washer/dryer and it also has a reading room inside and a kitchen that campers can use as well. The showers were very nice for a campground. We were lucky to get a campsite at Poche … the camp ground was full when we arrived and apparently serves a lot of the plant workers from time-to-time. We would have stayed at the overflow park down the road from the main park but we ended up arriving as someone else was leaving.

We really enjoyed the tour of the plantation and we were just a short walk from a very old Catholic church. We were told that the Plantation, Church and Cemetery offer a well-known “Graveyard” tour by a local historian and actors during the month of October. We will be back for that. Internet was a little unpredictable but could get access from time-to-time. I recommend reservations …. we never make them and again, this place was full. The office was difficult to find; however, the manager met us at the entrance and helped us park our camper. We also travel with our dog and the levee made for a nice stroll in the mornings with him. We stayed at Poche RV Park in a large 5th wheel.

There is a great RV Resort off I-5 between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. It’s called Toutle River RV Resort. I discovered it on my travels across USA on my Harley.

They have a nice area for bikers with the laundry and restrooms very close by. Being a female traveling alone I felt safe at this campground. I had a spacious site under big fir trees with a community fire pit, volleyball and horseshoe pits nearby. It was great to stretch my legs on the river trail.

Hat Creek Resort and RV Park is in a really great environment, tucked into tall pine trees and directly along Hat Creek.

The trout fishing is great right in the park, with lots of people catching their dinner just a few feet from their RVs. We took a short hike on the trails behind the park, right up onto the Pacific Crest Trail, and found a great viewpoint overlooking Mount Lassen in nearby Lassen Volcanic National Park.

The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. There are lots of cabins too, which looked really cozy, along with RV sites with their own horse stalls so that people can bring their horses along to ride on the trails. It was nice to find a forested campground that had lots of really big sites, with plenty of room for our large RV.

Everything was clean, the Wi-Fi worked well, and we had a great meal in the cafe too. It’s pretty remote here, so having a place to eat, along with a large convenience / camp store was handy. Great place for a peaceful getaway.
