New Point RV Resort – Mathews, VA

Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy.com

This was our third visit to New Point RV Resort. Previous visits in years past have been unremarkable except for the great beach. This time, we visited this campground for four days over a weekend in June.

The staff is extremely friendly, professional and helpful. The grounds are hugely improved over our past experiences with better water quality and water pressure. The sites are clean and groomed, though some are small and limited by trees. We noted staff members checking the bathhouses almost hourly.

The pool area was great. The laundry room and arcade are clean. We spoke briefly with the management and learned they have many plans for improvements. We already scheduled a return visit for the end of this season.

We loved all the scheduled activities with just about everyone at the campground in attendance. This is a great campground and I would recommend it to my friends!

Raleigh Oaks RV Resort is an easy in/out off I-95 campground.

They have very large pull thru sites. Gravel, grass, and full hook up. The campground has two pools, a rec room, a gym… and a pancake breakfast Thursday thru Sunday.

This campground also has a dog park. The property and facilities are very clean. Rates are $40 – $50. They also honor Good Sam memberships. The hosts are excellent too!

On a scale of 1 -10, I would rate Raleigh Oaks RV Resort a 9.

Cider House Campground – Bouckville, NY

Cider House Campground | RVBuddy.com

Cider House Campground accommodated us in a 40′ Class A with a car trailer as the 50 amp pull through sites are 100′ long!

This campground also has a variety of other sites from 30 amp full hookup down to dry camping tents sites… they even have a fully stocked 5th wheels for rent. We did not use the bath houses but they were immaculate and large. There is also a coin operated laundry. We had a concrete patio with a built in fire pit and picnic table. It is satellite friendly.

Cider House is located just off Route 20 and so convenient to the New York State Thruway and other major roads in Central New York. The campground is in the middle of a small town area with lots of antique shops and good restaurants.

Our site was $45. Other sites vary from $20-30, and the rentals are $75. This is a nice park… and a great family owned business.

Moose River Campground – St. Johnsbury, VT

Moose River Campground, St. Johnsbury, VT | RVBuddy.com

I stayed at Moose River Campground on Memorial Day weekend with my three dogs. It was a free camping weekend for veterans and I wanted to check the place out and I’m glad I did.

I live in Vermont, but St. Johnsbury is over a two hour drive and a haul with the camper. My dogs were excited and barked a lot during check-in and the owners laughed and said, “all the dogs get excited checking in” and wanted to meet them. My dogs aren’t always quiet, but when they start barking, I’m quick to quiet them. I had no problems with anyone there for the 4 days we were there.

The campground is very well maintained and there are many rules, but I think they’re only enforced when necessary. I’ve stayed in many dog-friendly campgrounds and they are no where near as nice as this campground. The place wasn’t very busy and my dogs escaped one time and met the neighbors who were very happy to have them around. My dogs are Corgis and very social and very cute so maybe they get away with bending the rules more often. We also went to Dog Mountain before returning to the campground so they were plenty worn out.

I would stay there again. Everyone there was wonderful.

Cape Camping and RV Park – Cape Girardeau, MO

We stayed overnight, 4-19-17 at Cape camping and RV Park in a 32′ class C RV. It was $34.01 with our Good Sam discount.

This is a nice park, with all pull-thru open sites, and well-kept grounds. The bathhouses are clean and are tornado shelters. The campground has CATV, Wifi, mini golf, a pool (seasonal), a small playground, horseshoe pits, a pond (catch and release), and a nice bike/walking path around the lake and into town.

There is a restaurant within walking distance, and services nearby. The car wash next door made it a bit noisy in the daytime. (we were near it – “A” row)

TripleBrook Family Camping Resort – Blairstown, NJ

Triple Brook Family Camping Resort | RVBuddy.com

We camped at TripleBrook Family Camping Resort this past weekend. It’s now under new management and it shows. Among the changes are chairs around the 2 beautifully kept pools, flower baskets surrounding for your viewing pleasure, the adult pool with a more “resort like appearance”. New landscaping is in progress, and flowers and baskets abound. There are chairs by the office to sit, relax and chat as you greet others and you can access the wi-fi as well. The owners assured us there will be wi-fi access by July.

The sites are roomy, and the property has wonderful rolling hills and mature vegetation to ensure everyone’s enjoyment.  The bathrooms are very clean too. The wooded area is wonderful to walk through or stay if you like, we prefer the open grassy areas. The park is secure and gated and I enjoyed the peace of mind to know they monitor the clients that enter the park.

For the birdlover’s there are many to look at and of course there is the farm animals for all the little ones to enjoy as well. There is a friendly atmosphere and the owners are eager to guarantee their customer’s satisfaction.

Will definetly return this summer. We camped in our 33 ft. Travel Trailer.

High Sierra RV & Mobile Park – Oakhurst, CA

Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy.com

We wanted an RV park that was close to Yosemite National Park where we could have full hookups and be close to “civilization”, while still having a “camping experience” (we hate RV parks that are giant asphalt lots) with grass, picnic tables, and fire rings. High Sierra fit the bill perfectly.

The Fresno River runs right through the park, so you can reserve a “riverside” site where you can nose into the site and have a view out your windshield of the river. Our site was a really nice back-in on the hill overlooking the river… right near the office (which made getting an early cup of coffee, or some “treats” after dinner, really easy).

It was also easy to do day trips into Yosemite National Park… High Sierra is about 15 miles from the South Entrance. And oakhurst is a good size town, with lots of services, restaurants, shops, and other amenities to choose from, without being too big.

The park manager, Cathy, was a lot of fun. She’s very nice, very friendly, and really knowledgeable about the area and the things to do. Actually, all of the staff were the same. Everyone we talked to really seemed to enjoy their job…  a real rarity these days (guess Cathy’s as much fun to work for as she is to talk to!).

We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking to experience Yosemite National Park without having to jump through hoops to make a reservation.

Sierra Trails RV Park – Mojave, CA

My boyfriend was assigned to work in Jawbone Canyon which is about 45 minutes from Sierra Trails RV Park. It was the closest campground to his worksite so we opted to stay there.

Well, on the very first night they parked us next to a giant propane tank in a glorified parking lot outside of the actual park. We moved from this spot when we discovered this was the closest park to the job site and we’d be staying there a while. They gave us this lease to sign which I couldn’t understand very well. There were so many typos and grammatical errors I had to laugh at it.

When we arrived, we had 2 pet rabbits that stayed in the rv with us. When I asked the owner if I could put up a rabbit pen next to our rv (within the boundaries of our particular sight) she told me she wouldn’t have let us stay there had she known we had rabbits! Finally she agreed to let me put it up only to make me take it down a week later because, and I quote, “it looked like ****”. We then had to get them neutered because they cannot get along otherwise, which resulted in one of them dying.

I am a massage therapist and have a massage chair so I put up a little sign in the window of the rv advertising chair massage. I was told to take that down too. In the rules, it states if you put up a shed or fence on their property, it becomes their property and you must obtain permission to take it with you. Doesn’t that seem a little wrong?

The people who lived there full-time were bizarre. I was told later on we were in the meth capital of the world. Not surprised.

We purposely did not sign the lease they gave us for fear they would try to take our security deposit on a technicality.

At the last day of our stay, my boyfriend went to check out and they informed us we were supposed to give them a month’s notice. With his job, he does not know when he will be coming and going so this was not possible.

The owner called him a “punk” and said we were not welcome back. He laughed because we would NEVER stay there again in a million years.

If you have to stay there for a night or two it’s probably not too bad. Just don’t stay there long term.

Hide-A-Way Lakes Campground – Yorkville, IL

Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy.com

Hide-A-Way Lakes is a really cool campground/recreation park. It is located on the Fox River on 150 acres of woods and ponds and creeks. You can really get back to nature here.

We went biking, hiking and fishing, and I know we haven’t seen everything this place has to offer. We’re tent campers. We fished and grilled our catch of the day. No fishing license was require in the park (way cool)! We are planning another weekend here.

It’s not far outside of Chicago where we live, but we felt like we were vacationing in another state. If you want a great reasonably priced get away for you and the kids, this is that place. If the weather ever gets better this year, we plan on doing the rafting trip on the Fox River.

According to the very friendly staff, it takes 45 minutes to float from one side of the park to their boat launch on the river. It’s about $5 per person for rafts, or you can bring your own. We can’t wait for the kids to experience this.

This place is a treasure if you want to get away from the grind of city life!

Apollo RV Park – Concord, NC

Apollo RV Park is satisfactorily clean park. Which is the best I can say about it.

While I was setting up my campsite, I heard a terrified dog screeching and yelping. I looked, and a running-loose large pit bull was attacking a Chijuajua. The Chijuajua was with the owner, on a leash. The attack lasted several minutes before the pit bull owner, who lived in a Park Model trailer, could get his vicious dog under control.

Since I have several smaller, gentile family pet dogs, I was concerned about their safety. I went to the office and requested another site. This request was denied by the owners. The owners said I should keep my dog under control. I tried to explain that the dog which had been attacked (and injured) Was under control, but a fighting pit bull was not. The owners told me to stop backtalking. The male owner added, “You can get your happy ass out of here right now, but no refunds.”

Later, another of the owners offered me half of my rental back as a refund if I left immediately. I declined that offer. No action was taken against the owner of the pit bull.

I suggest that this park is NOT SAFE for persons with pets or small children. The owners have a very poor attitude regarding the safety of guests and their property.
