Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy.com

We initially contacted Durango Riverside Resort & RV Park on Tuesday, 8.16.16 after reviewing their website with additional questions not addressed on their website. We inquired if they offered a Good Sam (RV Membership Club) discount and Mary said no and offered no additional information regarding discounts.

On Saturday, 8.20.16 Emily went to the office to ask if anyone had turned in a cell phone. Emily spoke with Pam and she made note of it. Another couple came in to check in and Pam asked if the gentleman was a veteran and he stated yes. Pam then told him he was entitled to a 10% discount. When Pam had completed her transaction with the couple Emily asked about the discount as Stewart is a Vietnam Era veteran. She said we were also entitled to a 10% discount and to come back in the morning so another staff member could reverse our charges and apply the discount. Pam stated she did not know how to complete a reversal of charges.

The next morning we both went to the office/store and Mary was the attendant. We explained about the information from Pam and asked for the discount. Mary asked if Stewart had retired from the military and we said no, Emily had clarified with Pam the eligibility required to earn the discount, ie; Active, Former or Retired Stewart served 8 yrs in the Army. Mary’s body language changed and she did not seem agreeable to the discount. Behind a window a man’s voice could be heard saying he would adjust our bill the next day, Monday, 8.22.16. We thanked him and left.

To date we have received no discount and have inquired by phone and contacted our bank to assist as well. We were also charged $5 for our dog and Mary told us there were waste bag stations throughout the park but they were all empty…so what is the charge for? We would like the discount we were entitled to in addition to the $5 pet charge for supplies? It appears they have no intention of adjusting our bill and misled us to believe they would follow thru and were people of integrity.

We will no longer frequent their business…

In my opinion this park has bar none the worst service ever! We have never been treated so poorly by not only the owner but the staff.

We read all the reviews online that said the same thing and thought it can’t be that bad… it’s worst! After being told by a staff member where we could run our dog, the owner flew at us in his golf cart saying that was a park infraction and if we were caught breaking just one more rule we would have 30 minutes to pack and leave! My husband and I stood there in utter shock! We at that point returned to rig and packed and left… May also add that when we checked in the woman at desk would not take our Good Sam card because there was no date on card! We have used this card all over the country!

There are too many other places to stay… Do your self a favor and read the reviews online and stay away!
It’s not worth it.

Wildwedge RV and Golf Resort is a great place!

They have large grassy sites, clean bathrooms and golf on site. It’s a great place for kids, with the mini golf and maze. The owners are very friendly.

Wildwedge Resort is close to the Paul Bunyan bike trail, and lots of lakes close by.

I would avoid this campground at all cost! In my opinion the management is rude.

I don’t think the campground is pet friendly. Can’t walk don in the park. The dog walk is a rain wash out littered with dog poop that lazy people didn’t pick up. The restrooms are only cleaned twice a week. The pull through spots are just long enough for the tow vehicle and the 5th wheel. Narrow sites, and on a hill! Very little shade! The interior roads are asphalt but seriously worn out!

I wouldn’t even recommend this campground for an overnight stay. (But that’s just my opinion.)

Saltwater Farm Campground – Cushing, ME

My wife and I have been camping for 20 years, starting with tent to pop-up to hybrid and finally graduating to large travel trailer, and most of the joys we have experienced have been in the friendly people we have encountered. However, the Saltwater Farms Campground was, without a doubt, the most unwelcoming and unfriendly campground that we have ever visited. The staff went far beyond being unfriendly — they were downright rude. In addition, the seasonal campers there acted as though we were intruders. We spent more money to stay at this campground than we have ever spent anywhere, yet we had the most unpleasant experience we’ve ever had at any campground anywhere.

This all goes beyond the fact that the “amenities” (and I do use this term loosely) were minimal to non-existent. For example, the campground advertises that they have WIFI, however, you’ll need some luck on your side to get it to work since it didn’t work about 90% of the time. Also, we were told that we would probably be able to get 2 over-the-air TV stations, however, again, no such luck. So, notwithstanding having no internet and no television (yet spending $378 to stay here for a week), this still would have been acceptable in a campground that made us feel even a little bit welcome, however, this campground did not.

This is the first campground review we have given, however, we felt compelled to give it this time as this campground was such a major disappointment to say the least, and we would not recommend it to anyone who enjoys a friendly atmosphere in a campground.

This campground is not a family oriented park. Mostly long-term campers.

They do not supply you with a set of rules when you make reservations. Our friends that were camping at the same time had a small campfire and it was smoking after dark, but not flaming. One of their “guards” woke the people up and made him go out and douse the smoke. They had fire rings.

I was there when they first opened, about 12 years ago and it was wonderful. In my opinion they were very rude. The only pleasant person was the gentleman that kept the sites mowed.

My family, was me (76), my son (48) and my granddaughter (6). I was not relaxed at all. I felt like I was walking on egg shells. We were there 4 nights and did not have a campfire. I didn’t set outside at all.

I will not return and would not recommend it to families with children.

The park was clean and well maintained. The sites were level and fairly easy to get in and out of. We have stayed here before and the campground is very large (over 400 sites) many seasonal. I agree that the seasonal people are a great asset to the park. We met a lovely seasonal couple by the upper pool who had beautiful impatiens all along their site, they had been seasonal over 25 years and were a great resource and very friendly and helpful.

Bay View Campground has 3 pools, a camp store, a “hot dog” stand, an arcade, and entertainment at a pavilion on the weekends.

The bands that played during our stay were very loud… request a site away from the upper pool or pavilion if you want to get some sleep before 10:00 pm or have small kids.

Otherwise, we had a great time!

Hitchin Post is the best, new, small, rustic, peaceful, well kept 24 site state of the art full hook-up, pull through, big rig friendly campground so far and I’ve been on the road now for 15 years.

To make it even better the owner’s are the best hard working couple you could ever want in this business. They greeted us with an umbrella so that we didn’t have to get out in the rain at 10 pm to check in. We didn’t even have a reservation on the 4th of July weekend and they even honored our PA discount on top of that!

The roads are clearly big enough to navigate any size rig with or without a tow and there are no obstacles to try to miss, no low hanging limbs.

They have a separate entrance and exit, long, level site’s some very spacious, 2 fenced in dog parks, corrals and a 50ft round pen for a nice stay over when traveling with horses. They also have vollyball, horseshoes and more games as well as fishing and the best free Wi-Fi yet. We picked blackberries and the owners brought us a dozen of their delicious free range eggs, yummy!

Another great thing is they don’t have residents which is a major plus in my opinion. Very peaceful indeed. No mosquitos… just a few knats. The campground is very clean and well kept.

This will be one of my favorite parks to stay at when I’m near by. Thank you guys so much for your hard work and wonderful hospitality and congratulations on building such a great place to stay. I am looking forward to watching your campground grow and prosper.

Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park is located on US Route 301, between exits 13 & 17 on I-95. This campground is a nice place with a large pool, friendly staff, and shady level gravel covered drive thru sites.

The campground has great wi-fi. There is an additional charge of $2.00 for cable if desired. They have a basic store too. Yogi bear comes out at 6:30 pm to give wagon rides around the park. The park is only about 5-10 minutes off I-95.

The travel books and signs say to use I-95 exit 17 but exit 13 is easier and has fewer turns.

If there was an option to rate this place a zero I would have done it.

My husband and I booked an RV spot the weekend of 7/22/16 – 7/24/16 and paid twice as much, $60 a night, for a private beach and cabana as opposed to others who were located behind us.

The first day we were there was very nice other than the lot size being incredibly small. However, on Saturday it all changed – our “private” beach area had a boat, a jet ski and a tube that didn’t belong to us, along with about 15 beach chairs just to the right of our cabana. My husband spoke with one of the women in the group and she told him that they paid the lady money to use that section of beach. We called the office and the woman said she would take care of it. We went out for dinner and when we came back the group from behind us was still there. We called again and were told that they were “nice” people and they were told they could stay. We spent the rest of the day and night in our RV and packed up and left early Sunday morning.

We also learned from talking with another “guest” that most people with the private areas had rented them for 4-6 months so any premium lots are already taken so don’t fool yourself into thinking you’ll get a decent spot.

There was absolutely no security, a heavy party atmosphere, and considering it’s an Arizona resort most guests were from California. We also learned that the spot we had been rented was a repaired sink hole, the breakers snapped at least 3 times, even though we were in a 50 amp plug and the curfew wasn’t even remotely enforced, there were fireworks being set off next to us until after midnight.

So, my advice – rent the $30 spots in the back and go ahead and squat on the River because nobody will challenge you anyway. We won’t be going back, not because of the view but because of the inability of the staff to manage to the written policies.
