Our site was perfect for our needs. We are pretty much self contained, but we did need to be near the facilities. Which we were. The boys rented a paddleboat one afternoon and their father took them fishing every morning. Then one evening we had an early dinner and drive the few miles to the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area. The brochure said one of the best times to see the heards was right before sundown, do we parked and had a great vantage point. It was very educational for the boys to see wildlife as it should be – without interference from humans.

In our camper area we met some very nice people and the boys also found some children their own ages to pal around with. Everyone was friendly, including the management. There isn’t anything they could have done to make us feel more welcome. Our set up was easy and worry-free.

We found the motel to be clean and nicely decorated. The restaurant (Jakes Place) has a really nice Jambalaya and Mahi-Mahi. I think its probably one of the best on the lake. The RV park was not completed yet but I believe they are taking reservations for the June opening. It’s really nice and there is lots of space for the kids to run around, go fishing, and boating.

I think it is the best Smith Mountain Lake RV park but that is just my opinion. If you love Smith Mountain Lake and the surrounding areas you will love Halesford Harbour.

There were quite a few other RV families like us, and everyone got together and had a fine time. Our children met others the same age and were able to swim and play sports together. We met people we will stay in contact with. When the kids were out using up their energy, us more sedate folks took in a movie.

Yosemite RV Park has something for everyone it seems. They have these huts and places to pitch a tent. They have very nice cabins that sleep up to 10 or 12. And you get to choose what kind of slot you want for your RV. Since we didn’t have to worry about it being too warm, we choose a place where we had beautiful outdoor views.

The staff and management were very accommodating. They told us about things we could do in the area as well as just visiting Yosemite. When we drove through Yosemite it was more than I expected. The snow capped mountains looked like they should be in a Hollywood movie. The kids were interested in all the Indian names for cities and creeks.

We had our own fire pit where we could cook out and different folks took turns cooking for the others. It was wonderful! Yosemite RV Park has a very homey feeling for those who are away from their actual homes.

They have nice clean bathrooms and showers and the nicest folks you will find anywhere. They were very accommodating and helpful when we ran into some mechanical issues with our new coach. They are right off I-95 making it an easy on easy off stop over.

I look forward to going back to spend more time at this great park!

We drove from the Eugene airport and were greeted by a herd of elk grazing away unperturbed by the curious onlookers. That set the tone for the trip which was one of the best we have had in recent times. Loon Lake is a great place. It’s easily accessible and yet, has a natural aura about it. Coming back to the resort, we are a family of 3. But we chose a riverfront cottage. It has a deck that overlooks the lake and there’s nothing like having a drink hearing the loons in the distance. Just melts the stress away. The cottage was very spacious and well furnished. The kitchen was well stocked. And the linen was clean and fresh.

The marina area has different types of boats for rental and we spent some time in a Pontoon boat which was a first for the kid. I tried by hand at Canoeing but it was a lot more difficult than it seems. The kid was also introduced to fishing. Her first time and she caught her first fish within minutes.

If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place with great services that wont drain your pocket, then this is it.

We were greeted by the bellman who was very curteous and accompanied us to our cabin. The cabin was picturesquely located. It had a rustic feel to it which was complimented by the right furniture. The beds were heavenly with clean linen and the kitchen is as good as your own.

Yosemite is an hour’s drive away but the drive is well worth the wait. Stop and click some pictures. We went for hiking trips and kids loved the moutain biking trails. The ambience was amazing. We could feel the Yosemite air while we enjoyed our barbeques in the evening.

Did I forget to mention the petting farm? If you are pet lover, then you gotta visit this place. The alpacas are so gentle and beautiful.

If you are looking for a pleasant stay for a cheap price, then this is a great choice. I would certainly recommend it to my friends and relatives.

The park seems to be beyond the fog line, with sun on the deck while Monterey and Carmel have thick fog. The people who run the place are helpful and friendly and the park is dog friendly. Pool opens in June and I can’t wait!

They have the cleanest bath house I have ever seen! The clubhouse is fantastic as well with tv, shuffleboard, and pool table. The campground has paved streets and pretty level sites with gravel, mostly back-ins depending on the time of year.

Very friendly owners on site. Sites have full hookups, except no cable! You must use your over-the-air antenna and there are only a few channels available. Smithfield is just a short ride away and is only about 20 minutes away. About 2/3rds of park is year round or seasonals. The campground has free wi-fi with the Tengonet system.

Shoprite, Wawa, and many other stores are closeby. The park also has propane. We will stay here again. We stayed here 4/2012.

They have a full calendar of activities (parties, dances, games, and special events). Their Grand Lodge is absolutely beautiful and is where they hold many of their events. Amenities include a large pool, a spa, fitness facilities, tennis and pickle ball courts, billiards and table tennis rooms. They also have a crafts building that has a ceramics room, quilting and sewing room, and other rooms for arts and crafts projects. There is also an 18 hole golf course here, although I’m not a golfer so I can’t tell you much about that.

Juniper Ridge is one of those RV resorts where there’s no need to really leave… everything is right there… although there’s some great country to explore in the area.
