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 [...]

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 [...]

I was beside myself to discover the only National Forest in New York State. It shows on very few maps, and no RV guides. Finger Lakes National Forest is a small patch of National Forest that sits between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, just south of the Seneca Army Depot. We had a great time. Blueberry [...]

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 [...]

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.
