Stone Mountain Heights RV Park is conveniently close to Atlanta and Stone Mountain Park!
The campground is quiet, and they have spacious sites, (but not much shade). The staff is friendly and professional.
This former trailer park is primarily an RV Park now with nice level sites, quality utilities (high water pressure-bring a regulator).
When we checked in Heceta Beach RV Park management told us we would have to move in five days because someone had requested our site. So we moved two sites over which was narrower than the old site.
Our motorhome is 42’. We were crowded and had a hard time getting the slides out. Then we found out a small camper moved into the old site and it was their first time here. The new people stayed two nights and we were there for ten days.The site was was more than enough for that small camper. So they the new people had not requested that site. Really poor customer service!
This morning I called the owner asking why we needed to move. No harsh words were spoken between both of us. Then the owner came over and said we have to leave. He credited us for today. Will NOT stay there again!
Searsport Shores Camping Resort had received a good review in a magazine and looking at the website we thought this would be a great place for kids! What a joke! We had just returned from a campground in New Hampshire that had loads of activities for the kids, was neat and tidy and the people were friendly! Then we arrived at Searsport.
This campground bills itself as a family campground on the ocean. First of all, don’t expect a sandy beach it is very rocky. The kids had fun looking for crabs, but it isn’t a good place to swim.
In terms of “activities” for the kids – they had a “walk” to the state park one day – no one else showed up so we went as a family – that was okay – that was the activity for the day! The next night the one activity for the day was a fairy/documentary sort of movie. Not very exciting for two boys.
We had booked for 5 nights and realized that this campground is more of a stopover point or a place for two nights. We asked to get our money back and leave a couple days early. That was not permitted as they are running a “business”. There is a lot this business could do to improve. The sites are $48, 58 or 68 dollars depending on the “ocean view” – they are charging resort prices for absolutely no amenities. I know they are promoting “family” camping, and while I don’t expect my boys to be too highly stimulated, if they are charging that price, they should be offering something for it.
The lawns aren’t cut, the sights are small, with potholes. They don’t give you any information for families to do in the area, not many kids at all there, not a lot around, no pool, etc. It is just very hokey.
If you do go – don’t book – just go – they had at least 50 empty sites on a Saturday night in mid-July and the rest of the week, many, many sites. Don’t make the mistake we did and book for a block – believe me, if you want to stay there will be a site available! We left a day early and lost our money. Our boys were much happier at the next campground.
We really like Orchard Ranch RV Resort. The staff is friendly and helpful and the ammenities are great.
The weather is fantastic too. We play a lot of Pickle Ball and their court is really nice. The Salt water pool is also nice. They actually have three activity buildings so there is always plenty to do.
I am looking forward our next stay there.
We have stayed at Colter Bay Village Campground and RV Park which is a first come first served National Park campground (Dry Camping)
For $20.00 a night, $10.00 for Golden Age or Golden Access Passport, you get a site with a picnic table, fire pit and access to water and flush bathrooms.
Showers are available at the village laundrette with attendents. In the village you can find a general store, museum, marina, restaurant, gift shop and a host other various activites. A short order grill is available that has wonderful food. Be prepared for a wait but well worth it. The chili is wonderful for an evening meal and menu for breakfast is great.
There is an RV Park with full hook ups located there in which reservation will need to be made. $55.00 a night in season and $42.00 a night late season. No fire pits but you do have picnic tables. There is horseback riding and lots of scenic hiking trails and nightly fire-side chats.
We have stayed there at least 5 times and will be back many more times as it is a wonderful place to stay and site see from to Yellowstone, Jackson Hole and points beyond.
If you go to Elk mountain you can see Elk coming down from the mountain to feed around dusk. There is a scenic photo-op from the top of Elk Mountain. Be sure to visit it.
Alta Lake State Park is about 4 miles from the town of Pateros, WA and 30 miles from Lake Chelan. It’s a nice park, lots of tall pines, a small lake for fishing, swimming, wind surfing and while not recommended, water skiing.
There are two sections for RVs. The first loop on the right as you enter the park has about 17 sites with electricity and water. Unfortunately few are level – the back in sites slope forward and the pull-thrus lean to the right. The pull-thrus are the best…
If you continue down the road there is a second section with electricity and water and the sites are paved. They are all back in sites and again slope to the right.
We came the first part of June and if you come be careful of nesting birds. We hadn’t been there for 2 hours when we noticed some tiny birds were making their nest in our refrigerator vent. We had to cover it and clean out about a dozen twigs. There was also a sign that there had been a recent cougar siting, but the biggest mammal we saw was a gray squirril. The host said a coyote had come in the morning but we didn’t see him either.
Bathrooms are clean, showers take quarters, each section has a host.
This park doesn’t take reservations and so if you want a spot come early in the season.
I like to avoid weekend getaways that are too close to the highway and one of my friends recommended the Loon Lake Lodge in Reedsport, Oregon for its peaceful ambience.
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.
High Rock Lake Marina and Campground is a great family campground. The staff is friendly and the facilities are clean. They also provide FREE cable and wireless internet! The park offers a pool, boat ramp, boat rentals, and a snack bar… you need it they got it!
We spend our entire vacation there every year! The kids love it and so do we. High Rock Lake has 365 miles of shoreline. It’s the 2nd largest lake in North Carolina. They are located in Lexington, in the heart of NASCAR country!
We stayed at Camp’n Aire years ago and vowed not to return, not because of the residents but because the campground was old and tired. That’s where the old ends and the new begins…
A few years ago, new owners bought the campground which is now an RV Resort, and I mean that in a great way. Some of our friends who had been staying there contacted us and said, you have got to come back for a visit, if you can get a spot for the season. We took their advise and went down for a visit…
The place is incredible, new electric, new grass, newly remodeled clubhouse, the old RV’s that are sold to new owners have to be totally remodeled to the parks specifications or be removed from the park… they look like brand new park models.
The owner’s are great, they live there and truly do everything to make you want to stay and feel at home. The park was never close to being full before, even during the winter season, now it’s hard to get in. We didn’t, and had to just visit our friends, who had been booked for the season.
I hope we can get back in, we’re on a waiting list and it is worth the wait!

We were seasonal for six years at Lehmans Lakeside RV Pesort. The reason we stayed was wonderful fellow campers.
Our electric never worked on our site. It blew a circuit board on our brand new camper. We got a surge protector and electric fried it. Then we went and purchased a new 300.00 one and that one showed we never were getting enough power to run the 30 amp. Never was it fixed completely and continued to have problems, until this year when we had no power all summer and had to move to another site. We were told it would be fixed, so we were waiting patiently for it to be fixed.
The roads in this campground are horrible. All of them need repair and none of them are getting it. Electric doesn’t work on many sites. There is a mound of asphalt (used) on the area the call the island. Been there three years we were told it was to repair the roads, but has not been moved or used for this at all. As far as I am concerned a health hazard, first for the chemicals, second for the injuries that can happen when kids play on it.
The water is not clean as it used to be. Has so much floating goose poop that you cannot swim in it safely. They advertise free Wi-Fi and cable. However, Wi-Fi and cable does not work. They advertise activities, and this year notified everyone that there will be no activities. They overcharge for electric also. They do not maintain any of the grounds. Signs break and they leave them. Playground breaks and they leave it. Don’t get the site with the nice deck and shed. That is the one we had with no power. I would never recommend this RV Park to anyone. When we moved in six years ago we had high hopes for it and we were told so many things were going to be improved, however nothing was done.
