Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy.com

TraveLand RV Park is behind a motel that apparently changes their name a lot. The current name of the motel you are supposed to look for is “M-6 Inn.” Whatever… However, there is a clearly marked sign indicating that there is an RV park behind the motel. I was following a Good Sam Trip Routing that I had made (headed to New Mexico), and I assumed (silly me) that this was somewhere near Interstates 84 or 15. Wrong, Logan is 20 miles away from the freeway. Oh well.

During the winter months, the office is not open on weekends. If you need to stay on a weekend, phone ahead and the manager will tell you what spot to pull into. I arrived around 5:00 PM on a Saturday and planned to stay two nights. The manager was very helpful but didn’t want to take payment until the next morning. The next morning, the manager didn’t seem too concerned about coming after me for my payment, as I sort of had to “hunt them down.” But it didn’t take long, and I made my payment for the two nights.

By the way, all the spots are pull-through! There is decent spacing between RV’s except for the “side by side” slots, where two RV’s share a post. Fortunately, at the time I was there, “side by side” wasn’t a problem as the park wasn’t full. Beautiful view of the mountains that surround the area!

The park is located in the more “rural” part of Logan, there is a horse farm next door. Laundry and showers were clean. Little bit of road noise at night, but not bad. Cable has only the networks and one C-Span channel. Couldn’t get WiFi to work the first night, but it could have been due to the electrical storm that came through. WiFi worked great the next day!

This is a good overnight stop on your way to somewhere, if you don’t mind being 20 miles from the freeway.

River Walk RV Park – Coeur d’ Alene, ID

River Walk RV Park - Coeur d' Alene, Idaho This is a small park. They charge $2 if you use a credit card. I stayed two nights, I don’t know if this was $1 per night or a flat $2 charge for using a credit card. One caveat: electricity and cable are each an extra $3 a day. The Good Sam Discount does not apply to the electricity and the cable charges.

The park is located within a short walking distance of a lot of espresso shops, and a brisk walking distance from the Riverwalk area, which has a few restaurants and grills if you don’t feel like cooking. Further, you can walk to the CityLink bus transfer station and catch a bus to events in Coeur d’Alene, or a bus to the casino in nearby Worley.

The RV slots are very close together. Fortunately, it wasn’t full when I was there, but if it were full, you could not put out your awning (but you might be able to put out your slides…). There are w/e/s hookups on both sides of the slots, take your pick. The water faucets are wrapped for winter use. One thing: the sewer is located in such a way that your electric cord and cable cord will lay across your sewer hose unless you manage to pull them up a bit (or use the sewer on the other side by stringing your hose under your rig). Outdoor cooking grills exist in different areas if you wish to barbecue.

The laundry room was very clean and had a sink (but it wasn’t a “deep sink”) for any items you may need to clean by hand. Laundry was $1.25 each for both wash and dry as of this writing. The rest rooms were clean and included a special shower for the “physically challenged.”

The wi-fi worked… fair. If you can’t get the wi-fi to work for you, there seems to be “other” wi-fi networks you can use. I am guessing these other wi-fi’s are coming from the many espresso shops nearby. There is a great pet walking area, and a small fenced children’s play area. Although the park is near the river, you can see the river only if you peek through the open sided train cars that sit on the train tracks.

Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort – Santa Claus, IN

Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort - Santa Claus, Indiana We just made reservations for Lake Rudolph Campground and RV Resort! This is a very nice park. We stayed here for the first time last summer and can’t wait to return.

The RV sites have level, concrete paved and full hookups. The main attraction is the fact that the campground is located right next to Holiday World and Splashin’ Safari, amusement and water parks, and a short distance from the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, Lincoln State Park, and the Young Abe Lincoln Outdoor Drama.

If you have kids this is a great campground. If you like peace and quiet, look elsewhere. It get’s extremely busy here especially on summer weekends and holidays.

There are tons of activities for kids, a well stocked camp store, and a good mix of amenities including swimming pools, playgrounds, horseshoe pits, basketball courts, a game room, mini golf, paddleboats, and fishing. There is also air conditioned bathhouses, a nice camp store, and a FREE Holiday World shuttle.

This is a great family campground. The kids will love it!

Blackstone RV Park – Bullhead City AZ

Blackstone RV park is located in Mohave Valley and its a real nice desert setting and owners living onsite. They have 136 sites (128 pull-thrus) and of them are full hookups on concrete pads. They also have a laundry, recreation room, restrooms, showers, and a convenience store.

They are really cheap too! We paid less than $20 a night… and pet-friendly! We were very happy staying there this past winter. They are open all year.

There is lots to see and do nearby including shopping, 4 golf courses, a number of casinos, museums, and a living ghost town in nearby Oatman. The Mojave National Preserve is also worth a visit.

Fort Worden State Park – Port Townsend, WA

Fort Worden State Park - Port Townsend, Washington I wouldn’t call this a State “Park,” this is more of a State RESORT! This is a former military base that is now used as a beautiful conference and retreat center, to include RV camping with full water/electric/sewer hookups.

The RV slots are paved and long. There are two areas, “Beach” and “Upper.” I stayed at the Beach campground. The sites are “back-in” at one end and “pull through” (in wide arc’s) on the other end. In the beach area, if you have a back-in against the trees, you have to drive all the way to the end, then go around the “turn around” and come back in order to “back-in” to those spots. The RV slots that face the beach have only a view of the sand dunes, but it’s a short walk to the beach.

This is a popular park and reservations are suggested any time of the year, although it wasn’t full the weekend I was here. If you reserve on the website, you pay an $8 reservation fee. If you call the Conference center directly, you do not pay the reservation fee. The “Commons” dining hall serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is also an espresso shop with sandwiches and pastries. Both are “cash only” and are rather pricey, you might as well be eating at the Marriott. The first Sunday of each month, the Commons features a fabulous Sunday Brunch between 10:00 and 1:00 for $16.95. Well worth it! If you choose to partake of the food at the Commons, recommend purchasing prepaid food cards when you check in for camping. You can pay for these cards with your credit card so you don’t have to worry about having a lot of cash. This is a fairly new program. When I was there, the Commons employees didn’t know how to deal with the prepaid cards and apparently had not been informed about them. The Park Ranger and the folks at the check in office got it straightened out.

If you need to do laundry, the Conference center allows guests to use their laundry building only between the hours of around “4:00-ish” PM to around “8:30-ish” PM each night. Verizon AirCard worked very well here. TV reception via antenna for the local channels was decent on digital channels, and “passable” on analog channels still out there.

Lastly, very important! If you come here off the Keystone/Port Townsend ferry, IGNORE your GPS if it instructs you to take a right turn off the ferry. Instead, follow the well placed signs and turn left. If you follow your GPS and turn right, you will end up taking a route up some steep and hairy roads. Follow the SIGNS! Great park for family outings!

Fredericksburg KOA – Fredericksburg, VA

Fredericksburg KOA - Fredericksburg, Virginia The Fredericksburg KOA is a small, quiet, rural little campground located about 8 miles from I-95, exit 126. We stayed here last fall on our way down to Florida. The campground is mostly wooded and has both open and shady sites. Our site was large and level but walking around I could see that others weren’t. Interior roads are mostly paved.

Some of their amenities include: Free Wifi, a heated pool, Free Cable TV, Kamping Kabins, a fishing pond, paddle boats, a playground, horseshoes, a small camp store (with ice, firewood, groceries and RV supplies), a large recreation hall, a laundry and private showers.

There was a nice atmosphere for a campground so close to I-95. The campground staff was very friendly. The facilities were clean and well maintained. The rates were a little on the high side, but I think it was worth it.

Kring Point State Park – Alexandria Bay, NY

Kring Point State Park - Alexandria Bay, New York Kring Point State Park sits on a Peninsula at Goose Bay on the Saint Lawrence River. The landscape is rocky, rugged and beautiful. The village of Alex Bay is only six miles away providing easy access to the Uncle Sam Boat tours. There’s so much to do in the area, our campsite was just a second thought.

The Facilities are in great shape and well cared for. The cabins and tent sites provide the most privacy and water front. RV sites are a bit tricky. We had to drive through another site to access ours because our trailer couldn’t clear the rocky outcrop at the site entrance. Small trailers will have no problem. Big Fivers and Motorhomes may consider Keewayden State Park nearby with level, grassy sites.

If you travel by tent, Kring Point can be paradise for you. Most sites include Tent Pad, Privacy, and fantastic water access. Canoes, Kayaks, and small motorboats will enhance your experience. The fishing is great, license required, but you can keep what you catch!

If you’re using Reserve America, don’t be fooled by the map. It can be very deceptive. Everything inside the outer loop is undesireable, waterfront in the outer loop are generally unavailable. The First Loop near the beach is best, almost any site there is great.

The Boat Ramp is good with ample trailer parking with limited dock space. You can enjoy Goose Bay’s flat water, or go out in the River, depends on your boat. Be prepared to listen to some parties. Enforcement of quiet rules is a bit slack, like most NY State Parks.

Kamp Klamath is a beautiful campground is surrounded by Redwoods & Alder trees, and has all the amenities my family could want. The restrooms were clean and neat with good HOT showers. There is a laundry room, a store with a good stock of groceries & refreshments. The host gave us samples of their smoked salmon, and it was so good & I got a few packages to take home.

The staff was very nice and informative. It seemed they were always busy fixing things up getting ready for the busy season. Full hookups included WiFi and satellite TV. There are several acres of hiking trails, and a “Bigfoot Trap”! Next time we are there, we are going on the “Fun Bus” tour to Fern Canyon.

I have to say that this is now my favorite vacation campground!

Lakeview RV Park has wide sites, full hookups and wi-fi throughout the property. I thought the best thing was that the staff was really great. They have rentals consisting of boat and golf cart rentals. Also, they have a pool which was really great. We got to enjoy the pool before it closed. This is a brand new pool for the kids to enjoy. Also, they have a cafe on the property which the food was awesome.

In a normal frame of mind, I’m leary of municipal campgrounds. Since I was already familiar with the area, we decided to spend some time here. The park is public with sports fields, boat ramp, playgrounds, and pavillions. There is no dividing line between day use and campground, but it is not a problem.

The entry and some sites are paved, the restrooms and showers are maintained quite well. The park is immaculately clean and mowed grass with giant old hardwood trees scattered around. Hookups can be a bit backwards in some sites but all utilities are in good shape. There are no sewer hook ups at your site, only two way service. The dump station is free to campers, $5 otherwise. The $15 nightly fee makes this place a bargain.
