Campground Reviews for February, 2006
Brown Mountain Beach Resort - Lenoir, NC
I have visited Brown Mountain Beach several times. I found this to be one of the most tranquil places left on the east coast. The facilites are very clean, and the staff is the best. The water is so clean in the river that you can drink it directly. I sat out in the middle […]
Bumping Lake Marina & Resort - Naches, WA
If you want to "get away from it all," Bumping Lake Marina & Resort is perfect. If you like "roughing it" in your RV, but with some backup amenities available, this place is perfect. However, if you are looking for comfort, don’t go here. Although the address is Naches, Washington, it’s actually about 30 miles past Naches. The resort is so remote that cell phones don’t work, and the owner’s "telephone" is a walkie talkie. They let me use the "walkie talkie" to make a "here’s where I am" call to a friend. I did notice some satellite dishes, so it may be possible that satellite works here, not sure (but forget about an internet connection!).
Seven Maples Campground - Hancock, NH
We are seasonal campers at Seven Maples in Hancock,N.H. It is located in New Hampshire’s Monadnock Region. The owners are the best… they really care about their campers. We have only had them for one season but they have already won the hearts of all of us. The grounds are nice and the camp store has just about anything you would need at a price you can afford if you forget something at home. They have a nice pool and a pond that can be used for small rafts and also swimming.
Fidalgo Bay Resort - Anacortes, WA
I stayed at Fidalgo Bay Resort in May 2005. At the time, they didn’t charge deposits. However, the web site indicates they now require full payment at the time of booking. Not Good! The waterfront sites are decent, if you want to pay the price. On the other hand, "oceanfront" overlooks a smelly bog. Good Wi-Fi! When I initially booked my May 2005 reservation and asked for "waterfront," I had a 24 foot RV and I was told "we like to give those spots to big rigs." I held my ground and got a waterfront.
Horn Rapids 5 Star RV Resort - Richland, WA
Horn Rapids Resort is a very large RV Park, perfect for the “full-timer.” They have “instant” phone connections and can issue you a phone number. However, using the phone line for dial up access to a computer is hit or miss. The resort also has WiFi, but it is also hit or miss. The […]
Columbia River RV Park - Portland, OR
Columbia River RV Park is located on 13th Avenue in Portland, Oregon. Use this campground ONLY for an overnight stay. They claim to have wireless, but the wireless is with some no name company, and you have to set up an account. I was there in July 2005 and it was $4.95 for one night. There were weekly and monthly rates, too for the wireless. There is also a modem hookup in the exercise room.
Moon Mountain RV Resort - Grant’s Pass, OR
Moon Mountain RV Resort is located in Grants Pass, Oregon. The campground is about two miles from the main town, and the two miles is up and down steep hills if you carry a bike with you. The park has INSTANT phone connection for a modest charge each night. I was there in October 2004. The property is terraced, so you don’t have to look into your neighbor’s window. You look over the top of the RV next to you. It’s a nice walk down to a park next to a river.
Driftwood RV Park - Long Beach, WA
Driftwood RV Park is located in Long Beach, Washington. All the sites here are grassy. The campground is just two blocks from the Pacific Ocean. The Wi-Fi is $2 a night with weekly rates being cheaper. However, to use this wireless, you must register your computer’s MAC address, which is no big deal. In my opinion, this is more secure than "open" wireless.
Granite Lake RV Resort - Clarkston, WA
Granite Lake RV Resort is located in Clarkston, Washington, along a river. It’s very relaxing here. The campground is located one block from a Costco and two blocks from a major grocery store. They have very clean restrooms. Good wireless too! The resort just went "year round" this year after previously being open only from March thru November. They have monthly rates, but at this time are not charging extra for electricity.
