Salem Farms Campground – Salem, CT
(3 visitors have rated this campground.)
Loading ...We weekend camped at Salem Farms Campground for two years. The owners are great people. They work very hard for their campers.
The park is clean and well maintained and the bathrooms are awesome. Each site is approximately 40 x 50 ft., and a minimum of approximately 2000sq ft. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring. Also each site includes free cable tv and wi-fi. They have new playgrounds and a new snack bar and ice cream stand. Wow!
The campground is a short drive from lots of attractions including Mohegan Sun and Foxwood’s Casinos, Tantaquideon Indian Museum, Mystic Seaport, and the Mystic Marinelife Aquarium
Salem Farms Campground is truly a family park. Family owned and operated.
Catherine’s Landing – Hot Springs, AR
(3 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...Catherine’s Landing resort opened this year, so I was rather unsure about what to expect. Well, it definitely exceeded my expectations. Not only was the area beautiful, the staff was super-friendly, the RV sites were adequate, and I loved having the lake in my “backyard”.
My teenager enjoyed the fitness center and the entire family really liked exploring the area with the nature trails onsite. We got some great boating/fishing in, roasted marshmallows (they have some nice industrial grills in an outdoor pavilion area), and even purchased a bottle of wine from their lodge shop and watched the sunset. The only problem I had was with the Wi-Fi, but one of the employees assisted in getting it back up and running.
I recommend this place to anyone who loves water and is traveling to Hot Springs! Make sure to check out Garvan Gardens while you’re there.
Cripple Creek KOA – Cripple Creek, CO
(3 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...When looking for an RV Campground near Pikes Peak, CO, I found Cripple Creek KOA.
The description on their website as well as the KOA site was fantastic. However, the place is not easy to find (does not even come up on a GPS). It is not that it is that remote because it is not remote or secluded at all. It is however far from the Pikes Peak area and attractions I visited. It was at least an hour drive to get anywhere I wanted to go.
In my opinion, the owners were very rude. The website does not contain any photos of their RV sites because they are very cramped and stacked on top of each other on the side of a mountain that is desolate. There are no trees. The sites are very unlevel. There is no cell service (and they say there is cell service). I would rate any other campground I’ve been to over this one. There are many other/better choices around Pikes Peak. In fact, there are gorgeous places in the Cripple Creek area. This one was awful.
Canyon Trail RV Park – Boulder City, NV
(3 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...I would have to give credit where credit is due. The staff at Canyon Trail RV Park is very pleasant to deal with, and always cheerful.
Our first visit here was nearly four years ago and at that time would have definitely been rated 5 stars out of 5. Unfortunately, over the last few years, and our frequent visits, it’s sad to see what appears to be a degradation to the overall quality and experience of staying at this park. They just let things go. From dead trees that still stand to garbage blowing throughout the park daily, it’s apparent that somewhere over the last few years there’s been a drastic shift in management’s concern over this park. Visitors are constantly informing staff of broken and non-functioning laundry machines and disruptions in TV service and complete lack of advertised internet/WIFI services.
This is just really sad to see what once was such a beautiful park becoming what seems to be a typical trailer park.
Vortex Spring Campground – Ponce de Leon, FL
(3 visitors have rated this campground.) Loading ...We followed the signs to Vortex Spring Campground when we discovered the Ponce de Leon Springs State Park did not have a campground.
Driving into Vortex Spring, it appeared that it been deserted other than a really nice dive shop where we checked in. The bathrooms definitely were not inviting. They also looked like they had been sitting vacant for awhile with doors wide open. Fortunately we had sewer hookup because I would not have been comfortable using their showers.
We have been traveling across the country now for 8 weeks so we have seen pretty much every type of campground. The kicker here is I was on-line, doing a little research on their site here. The home webpage for this campground advertised “Winter Special – 50% off all camping and lodging Monday through Thursday”. We had been charged full price at check in. I emailed them and asked if we could be refunded the 50% and the response was that you had to mention it at check-in, sorry. To me this is false advertising and pretty rude considering we were the only patrons in the campground.
