Roanoke Mountain Campground - Vinton, NC
(5 visitors have rated this campground.)
Loading ...This is just another National Park campground. I’m only including this in my list of reviews because the place is not very big-rig friendly. Our trailer is 25′ and we had a bit of challenge getting comfortable. For B’s and C’s and poppers, I recommend it. This is a nice rest stop along the Blue […]
Outpost RV Campground - Salt Lick, KY
(5 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...Holy crap, steer clear of this place. It’s a great example of genetics gone wild. We only used it as an overnight but we saw a lot of crap. The best part was the $20 fee for 3-way hook-up.
When we arrived, the place was a traffic jam of young children racing around in golf […]
Mammoth Cave Campground - Mammoth Cave, KY
(6 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...You must remember you’re reading my stuff. No reservations, no planning, just go.
We thought about campgrounds near Mammoth Cave. The KOA sits on a small hill on the highway, the Coast to Coast RV Resort is probably good, but non-members can’t use the ammenities. We looked at the National Park Campground. Check-in was a bit […]
Holiday Trav-L-Park, Chattanooga, TN
(6 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...There are several campgrounds available in the Chattanooga area, we chose this one because the Trailer Life Rating was high. We figured, if they were full we’d just work down the list until we found a place.
The Park brags about being close to the Interstate, but there are no highway noises. The nearby Race Track […]
Loft Mountain Campground - Shenandoah National Park, VA
(11 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...This was our first destination campground as we toured the Appalachian Mountains for two weeks. Again, we arrived without reservations, but site choice and check-in was fast. The Park Ranger was very informative and helpful.
The campground is above average for a National Park. Mostly Pull-Thru’s capable of handling large units. The back-ins are all oriented […]
Hagerstown KOA, Hagerstown, MD
(3 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...We used this Hagerstown KOA as a rest stop at the beginning of a two week road trip. I can’t say anything bad about the staff, but the place is very compact. The property borders a nice, slow flowing stream at the end of a small road. The campground offered more than the basic KOA […]
Cottonwood Campground - Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND
(7 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...WOW…I’d like to say that Cottonwood Campground was horrible and the hosts were mean and grumpy; but I’d be lying. It’s a great campground with sites for everybody from tents to trucks. We were secluded and comfortably shaded with a sprawling view of the Little Missouri River Valley. Wildlife was a constant presence to be […]
The Roost Resort - Custer, SD
(4 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...If you can’t find an RV park or campground near Custer, South Dakota, you just aren’t looking. The billboards and signs are a distraction from the natural beauty of the area. Most places we saw from the road were no-shade, lined-up tight RV Parks. If you read enough of my stuff, you know we seldom make reservations. I had a list of three places to look at, and Roost Resort was a decisive winner.
They really feature top-of-the-line cabins and cottages, and have a small campground in the back of the property. Class A’s and large 5ths would be pushing the envelope here. There’s only a few sites on the property, each with a great view of the Black Hills. Only two-way hook-up is available and a dump station upon departure. Everything about the property is clean, quaint and quiet.
Badlands Interior Campground - Badlands, SD
(6 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...Here’s a good reason to be flexible in your travel plans. As a base to visit Wall, South Dakota and the Badlands, we planned to stay at the National Park Campground. When we got there in early September it was over 100 degrees hot. We don’t have a generator and the National Park does not have electric. We would have had to live without a fan of any kind!
Just a mile south you’ll find the Interior Campground and Motel. The sites are level gravel with little or no shade just like the National Park. For four dollars more, you can have full hook-up. We would have preferred the view from the National Park, but the heat was intense.
Sioux Falls KOA - Sioux Falls, SD
(4 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...This was another one night stand for us. All of the services were typical of a High-Traffic KOA. The pool, showers, and store were clean and efficient. Without reservations, we were quickly checked in and escorted to our site. The nearby (and overhead) Interstate highway is an extreme distraction. The constant noise deterred any thoughts of relaxing outside.
