RV Park and Campground Reviews | RVBuddy.com

Campus Park & Ride is a very utilitarian campground which is located in the Gray’s Ferry section of Philadelphia or locals refer to it as South Philly. This is the closest campground to all of the historical attractions in The City of Brotherly Love.

The campground itself is a working commuter lot. Don’t worry, there is still plenty of rooms and separation for the RV’s. Each site has a water connection and access to a 20-30-50 amp electrical connection.

The bathroom’s have “opportunities for improvement” so if you have a full bathroom in your RV…use it.

The on-site staff are super friendly and always available to offer suggestions or tips about what to see and what to do in Philadelphia.

As my wife, son and I excitedly arrived to King Phillips Campground for our first time there to join our parents for the Labor Day weekend.

We were checked in for a site that was not our original reservation. Even the manager rolled his eyes in question the newly assigned site. On July 6th, I had been told I would be placed in section “C” over the phone after being asked if I wanted a sunny or a shady site and also after I had described to this woman that I drove a Freightliner truck and had a 40’ 5th wheel camper.

As I approached where we were being directed to, and also my parents questioning as to why we weren’t in the section that even THEY were told we were going to be in 7 hours earlier, I was still trying to follow the lead of the parking escort who guaranteed me there would be no issues fitting into the new site. I proceeded to try to park in the spot just as directed by the parking escort when my truck and trailer began to slide backwards down the road into a tree.

After backing down the road and going to the office to tell them what had happened, they offered me another site that would involve me having to drive down the same steep slippery hill. I declined and asked about being placed in the section “C” we were supposed to be in all along that now had a 36’ Motorhome in it. Also, the 2 sites next to it were empty. I was told they could not move the people soon to arrive from these empty sites. Even though they had NO issues moving us! This left us no option other than to drive 2 ½ hours back home and leave our family members behind, ruining our family camping weekend.

After numerous attempts to contact the owner, Mike Spaulding, he finally returned my call 24 hours after this all occurred. This is NOT the behavior of a professional business owner. He obviously did not even care this happened to us and offers no resolution for damages created by his staff and facility. He also told me of their policy, that they have the right to move first time visitors regardless of their requests or camper size to accommodate repeat customers. This policy was never explained to me when making my reservation nor is it made available to the public in any way.

Our recommendation is to NOT visit this campground EVER!

Hartwick Pines is a great state park with spaces for tent and RV campers of various lengths.

Spaces are paved (black top), most are level, and each come with a picnic table & concrete fire pit. There is a good mix of back-in and pull thru spaces. Most pull-thru sites are tree free for slide outs. Not all sites have full services (water, electric, and sewer);

There is a play area for the kids, frisbee golf, a volleyball court and rest room facility with showers.

There is a visitor center for old growth forest and old saw mill demonstrations.They have an online reservation system.

Thearea has virtually no cell service. State park personnel friendly and helpful. The campground is located about 15 miles from Grayling, Minnesota and 3 miles from the freeway.

Blaze-in-Saddle RV Park is an older campground, recently purchased and rebranded under this new name.

The campground has been totally remodeled and the new owners are doing a great job! This is one of the cleanest RV parks we have ever visited. Personal service, clean accommodations with great amenities. They have a dog run and even areas for your horses!

Full hookups and much more! 2500 E Route 66 and their web site is blaze-in-saddle.com

We recently stayed at Ferne Clyffe State Park. It was the first time camping with our new travel trailer.

We were happy to find level sites which made it great for first time RV owners. The area has beautiful scenery and great hiking trails.

The fee was $20.00 per night. We would definitely recommend this campground.

We arrived at Mack’s Pines after being on the road all day and battling traffic jams. The staff was very nice and very matter of fact.

There is a restaurant of such a small campground store. I was fine with all of that. Then we come to our site. The driveways are gravel and clay. Very rough. The sites are undeveloped. The site just barely fit our forty foot rig. Our jacks were up as high as they could go and tires were off the ground. Finally hubby fixed that but rig still feels rocky to me.

This unknown to us is a side by side ATV Park. This place is full of them. We are the only people here without one. We used passport America for one night.

I would not stay here again but the people who are here are having a blast. We will tell our friends who do have an ATV about Mack’s Pines RV Park.

NRA Whittington Center Campground – Raton, NM

NRA Whittington Center campground is very overpriced for what you receive.

Campsites are dirt/mud, not level, and many had bad ruts. It was difficult to level the trailer because the blocks sunk in the mud.

The WiFi is bad. We had an intermittent connection and only 1 bar when it did work.

We connected to the water after setting up and it didn’t work. We contacted the office and they would not make any change to site or price. They actually acted like it was our fault.

The only restrooms were in a separate loop over 1/2 a mile away. There were no picnic tables, fire rings or any amenities.

So, we ended up paying $35 for a 30 amp hook up and a dump site and a muddy place to park.

Jenny’s CreekFamily Campground was nice but the tent sites were small, not level, and did not have their own water and electric so you have to share the water and electric with the site next to you.

There were no grates provided for the fire rings. You could buy them at the campground store but they should have been provided or rentable. You could also buy wood at the store but they were sold in batches of 5 pieces for about as much as it would cost you to buy a bag full at the local Ingles but the Ingles bag would have about 4 or 5 times as much wood in it.

Our sites were directly across from the bathrooms (which was nice) but you would have to climb a steep hill to get to them. There were stairs but each step was at least a foot high so they weren’t easy to climb. There were only 2 lamps along the stairs that would light but they were solar powered so, not only were they barely lit but didn’t light for very long at all. As for the bathrooms themselves, you could tell the floors were rarely, if ever, swept/washed and neither hand soap nor paper towels for hand wiping were provided.

We complained to management about there being no grates, hand soap, paper towels and working lighting for the steps and were told that they were not a state park so they did not have to provide any of that and that if we didn’t like it, we could simply move on to another campground.

I do not recommend this campground to anyone because I feel that the management cares more about providing for themselves than providing the customer service that all customers desire and most definitely deserve.

Dakota Ridge RV Resort – Golden, CO

In my opinion Dakota Ridge RV Resort is a terrible place!

We Booked a pull through site six months and paid the deposit. They messed up our reservation and when we got here 25 minutes before checking in not only did they move us to a small 18 ft back in site for our 25 ft motorhome but also charged us $25. For early arrival. They admitted they screwed up but said if we didn’t want the inferior site we should leave!

I asked that they at least remove the $25 fee since now it was only 10 minutes before check in and the manager said NO! Later I spoke to people who are repeat customers and they were shocked. They said they never get charged for early arrival even though they come early all the time.

The campground is noisy being right off the highway, not very clean, and very crowded with campers on top of each other.

Cape Charles/Chesapeake Bay KOA – Cape Charles, VA

Cape Charles/Chesapeake Bay KOA is probably the most under rated campground that we have stayed at this year! The facilities are immaculate, The sites are wide enough and sort of level, the hook ups are easy to access. All of the employees are nice and friendly. We will be back!!

Facilities
Everyone in our group noticed that the bath houses were always being serviced. Serviced as in cleaned, mopped and trash emptied. The beach front is clean and void of any sort of hazards. This KOA has a full service restaurant and bar on site and the staff are super helpful and the food was pretty good. I would give it a 4.8 stars out of 5. The pool is HUGE clean and built for families (max depth is 5-feet)

Sites
I am 41-feet long and I fit perfectly in our site. If I were 2-3 feet longer I would have to have backed in at more of an angle. It was wide enough for us to “live outside”. In regards to the level-ness of the sites they are ok and may require some modifications. Once I backed in I used my leveling system to let me know where I would need help (press the on button and the yellow arrows will let you know). I utilized my jack pads under the tires to get almost level, then emptied the air bags and then hit auto level and I was set. We saw a Super-C (super nice unit) that had the front wheels up on cinderblocks (I would be afraid of something slipping and breaking :-(.

Staff
Let’s face it you can have the best sites, with the best views, at the lowest prices but if the staff is a bunch of curmudgeons then you won’t go back. Our staff interactions from the time that we finished paying for our reservations (more on that below) until the time that we checked out have been very positive. It seems as if each employee enjoys working here.
