Campground Reviews for April, 2007
Normandy Farms Camping Resort - Foxboro, MA
Normandy Farms is an excellent campground. We stayed here in April during a Nor-easter storm. The indoor pool was a blessing for the kids. The Recreation hall was a plus too. We played games with the kids. I only wished they offered shelter in the rec hall during the storm. The camper rocked with heavy […]
Barstow/Calico KOA - Yermo, CA
One thing you have to say about KOA’s is that they are consistant… and I am beginning to appreciate it. I know when I pull in they are going to have WiFi, (unless otherwise noted in the catalog) and they are going to have full service. They are going to have Cable TV and they […]
Pahrump Station RV Park - Pahrump, NV
While Pahrump Station RV Park is well landscaped and each site has a bit of green grass and trees, (in the desert), we were very disappointed in this park and it has soured us on corporate campgrounds.
We called for reservations (Best Western) over a month ago and that was no problem. The advertisements said phone internet, free cable TV at every site, and large pull-ins. Well, our TV didn’t work and it turned out that none of them worked in the section they put us in. Also while the price wasn’t bad, the extras added up the cost. tax was extra, (I have never had added tax before), Phone internet was extra - okay it was only a dollar a day, but I find it to be annoying to use phone internet after WiFi. Electricity was also extra, and while only $2. a day, I just kept wondering when it would stop.
Happy Days RV Park - Apache Junction, AZ
What a great RV park! The park managers, John & Mary, are really friendly, very helpful, and they run a tight ship. This park is spotless!
We had a wonderful stay here. The sites are all clean gravel, level, have large concrete patios, full hookups, and they are very wide. There’s plenty of room for […]
Sunrise Valley RV Park - Mina, NV
Mina, Nevada is a poor little town, bordering on being a ghost town, but the Sunrise Valley RV Park is an oasis of green. and a very pleasant surprise.
There are tons of great spaces for the longest of rigs. The bathroom is clean and neat and private, and WiFi for an extra $2.00. Now they say that there is TV but we were unable to find it and our antenna only picked up one blurry channel. But we have satellite so it really wasn’t a problem for us.
Pyramid Lake Marina RV Park - Sutcliffe, NV
We had always wanted to see Pyramid Lake but all we could find on the internet was that there was dry camping all along the lake, all you needed was a permit from the Ranger Station. Much to our amazement, when we went to ask about a permit, they told us that Pyramid Lake Marine […]
Sully’s RV Park - Alturas, CA
Sully’s is a very functional RV park and since it is about the only one in town, it was nice to find, especially, in the April snow storm we encountered. Folks with the same idea we had, followed us in, and in no time, the place was full.
La Pine State Park - La Pine, OR
Towering pine trees and typical size RV sites, La Pine State Park has one thing going for it… Nice hot, free showers.
We like to go to State Park’s in April when they are quiet. La Pine only had a few folks in it and only one loop was open. There are some great hikes and […]
Madras KOA - Culver, OR
The Madras KOA is about 10 miles south of Madras, Oregon on Hwy 97, and then a 1/2 mile east on Jerome. This is a typical KOA, the sites were large and spacious, a nice park like atmosphere, friendly folks and anxious to please. The only complaint I have and it isn’t much of one, their catalog said that Internet is free and we were charged $4.00 a day. They said it was new, so the rates might be also.
Deschutes River State Park - The Dalles, OR
I’m going to start with what is wrong with Deschutes River State Park because you may not want to read any further… No showers, no sewer, not even a dump, and according to the host, the reason is not enough water to support either. So water and electricity is all your going to get. But the host also told us that the park is packed in summer so folks must not mind. Oh, two more little annoyances, ticks in the woods and if you don’t like the sound of train whistles in the middle of the night, you might want to reconsider staying here.
