We were looking for a place to relax for a while and the Lake Tahoe area seemed like a good choice. We settled on this park, based on reviews. We were not disappointed. The park is a bit of a mish mash of sites, some with 50 amp, some only 30 amp, some have sewer and some don't. You can find the hookups you want, you just need to be clear what you want. Some of the sites are wide with sun exposure and fairly good satellite reception, others not so much.

The check-in process was easy and we proceeded to our spot. The signage was a little confusing, but we found it and we managed to get parked and setup with no problems. Many of the sites, including ours, have large trees that can make it difficult for larger rigs to get into. The trees define the sites, so they aren't just side by side, perfectly straight. This adds some character to the park, but also means you might be looking at someone else's sitting area, although that extreme is rare.

There was a group next to us that had several RV's and tents, which was really nice for them. But, because the sites aren't clearly defined, one of their tents encroached on part of what we thought was our area. We had a lot of room, so it wasn't an issue, but others might not feel that way.

We decided to extend our stay an extra two weeks, and part way through moved to a premium site. Our site was still 30 amp, but we had woods behind us and our site had much more open space to set up our canopy. Although we didn't see any, neighbors said they had seen a bear and coyote, we only saw birds and chipmunks.

The bathrooms in our loop were older, but clean. I used the laundry twice, the first time went well. The second time neither of the two driers I used dried my clothes. When we complained, the kid working said that they don't always work and refunded the cost of one dryer. They didn't even ask which machines we had problems with, that was disappointing.

The wifi was unusable and AT&T reception was spotty, but we had a strong Verizon signal.

The location is great and road noise is low, but there is a hospital very close and they seem to use their helicopter a lot! That was a little annoying, but it usually doesn't run late into the night.

Our first week was about $325, but we joined TT and received the next two weeks free.

We enjoyed our stay here and hope to return.

This now called Sandusky Milan RV Park.

We stayed here one night traveling east. It’s pretty easy from the turnpike, because of Covid (I assume) the office was closed, but our site assignment was outside. Someone came by and asked if we needed help, when I asked if we needed to unhook our toad, he looked at our site number and said he would reassign us. Our new site was very easy to get into and relatively level. Personally, I think the original site wasn’t bad, but this was an easier exit for us. We paid for a 30amp/water site, we were moved to a 30amp/FHU for no extra fee. We only used the electric, since we were here one night.

They are obviously doing a lot of work, they are moving gravel around for the site, making them more level. The park looks very nice, it’s just the surrounding area is a little unattractive and there was a smell, asphalt maybe? The park has nice trees, grass between sites with plenty of room to spread out a little. They have electric water and primitive sites that are in a beautiful area with lots of tree cover. I’m not sure if the are renting them, or if they have plans for them, but it’s a nice area for group gatherings.

The pool was open, and looked inviting. The bathhouse was super clean, but only one shower in the ladies room. We appreciated the extra effort of moving our site, so that upped my opinion.

I’ll be curious to see the improvements they make, so far the park looks great!

There is a long drive from the road to the office, but it's paved even if it's not very smooth. The checkin was quick and easy and they escorted us to our site. Most sites are pull thru with ample space between each spot, a fire ring and picnic table. There are a few trees, but no privacy or shade.

The property is beautiful, with a stream, small waterfall and a lot of open green space. The only drawback is that it is so close to the highway, you can't avoid the traffic noise day or night.

There is a playground down by the stream and it is also where the tent sites are. There is a lot of room for kids to run around and play (we didn't see any while we were there) and nice spots to take a chair and read by the stream.

Our site was mostly level, others weren't so good. The campground was uphill from the stream. The bathhouse was clean, but we didn't use it. The location is convenient to Wytheville and we enjoyed the dinner theatre and the rooftop bar and restaurant at The Bolling Wilson Hotel. There are also a couple nice state parks nearby.

I would stay here again, if in the area, but the traffic noise would make me look around first.

We were visiting friends in the Ellijay area and this was pretty much the only campground that we felt we could fit into. Check in was quick and easy, we were shown our spot and then we were led there, it was an easy pull through. We had ample space, a fire pit and picnic table and several trees. The trees provided some nice shade, but we still managed to get all 3 satellites.

The park seems to have mostly people living there full time, but everyone we encountered was courteous and pleasant. The RV’s were well cared for and work was being done on the common areas for the summer season. They had washer/dryers that looked nice, I don’t recall the price but it was reasonable ($1 or $2).

The location was convenient to Ellijay and Blue Ridge, there is a Walmart, Engles and Lowe’s just down the road. Our AT&T cell signal was a bit weak, but worked and with the booster it was fine.

We enjoyed watching the resident groundhogs. There was some road noise, but it wasn’t bad at night. We enjoyed our time here and would definitely return.

The sites are gravel and fairly close together, but our neighbors managed to squeeze a second RV in with them, so maybe not too close together. There are trees scattered around, so I wouldn’t classify it as a parking lot, but they don’t really provide much privacy. You do have room for awnings and slides. There are no picnic tables or fire pits at the sites, but there is a large shared fire pit near the bathhouse.

The bathrooms are a toilet and shower in each gender neutral room. Showers are $2 for 4 minutes. There is a small laundry room, $2.50 to wash and $2.00 to dry.

Check in was quick and easy and access wasn’t too bad. Our hookup is 30 amp and water, but the dump station is convenient on the way out.

The location is convenient to the small, very quaint town of Talkeetna. We walked in and there are many nice shops and restaurants to choose from. I was surprised just how busy it was.

It’s located next to a small airport and the train tracks. Alaskan train conductors really like their horns!

For what it is, it’s not a bad park.

There are really only two choices in town and neither are that great. Our experience wasn’t good and I honestly was glad to leave. Someone was in our spot when we arrived, we had to wait a while for them to figure out what to do. We pulled through to our spot, all the way to the edge of the road. We had no room to park our truck, but they let us park it close by. Our living area was bordered by the dumpster and the dump station, so we didn’t have much interest in sitting outside. Eventually, our parking space was assigned to a truck camper and their trailer. Fortunately , they found us another spot to park our truck. The people with the truck camper commandeered our picnic table, which the rules specifically state not to do. While we weren’t using it, it would have been nice if they asked.

We didn’t have a bad experience with the staff, in general they were pleasant enough and helpful enough. The WiFi was good, at times, better than most parks, but slows down when the park is full.

We loved the town of Medora, the Musical and Teddy Roosevelt NP, so we would stay again if we are ever back in the area. We drove through the county park, it had some nice sites, but most weren’t any better than here.

This was a one night stop for us and we planned on not disconnecting out toad (would be our first time). The check in was easy and the people friendly. We were led to our site and when he left we looked and we weren’t even close to level. So, we unhooked the car and repositioned the RV and were very surprised how level it was considering what the site looked like.

Once we were setup our cookies were delivered. We decided to use the car and explore the area a bit, since it was unhooked. The Whistle Stop Cafe from the movie Fried Green Tomatoes was a short drive away and worth a look if you’ve seen the movie.

We also walked around the park a bit. Our site was under trees and very narrow, we had to move our picnic table almost into the site next to us to get out of the RV. There are sites down the hill, the 100’s, that appear more level and roomier and these have chimineas. Our site didn’t have any fire pit and honestly didn’t really have room for one. But, it was OK for one night.

We ordered pizza, chicken fingers and poppers from the office and had them delivered. Not amazing food, but I didn’t have to cook. They will also deliver items from the store, if you don’t want to go in and shop due to Covid.

There were quite a few long term trailers and some were a little worse for the wear. But we didn’t have a problem with anyone.

If we needed to stay here again I would request a spot in the 100 section. It’s also easier to leave from there, we had a turn on our way out that was a little tight.

This was a nice campground, we had a large pull through with a decent view of the surrounding mountains. Some of the back in sites were really small. The campstore was small, but nice, and the laundry was clean and air conditioned. The location is convenient to Bozeman, which has a nice downtown and a farmers market in season.

You are right on the highway, and there is a train nearby, but it didn’t really bother us. They charged us $2/day for our indoor cat, which I don’t agree with, but didn’t argue about.

One issue, there is a 13’ 3” bridge that you have to go under if you are coming from the east or leaving to the West. We had an appointment west of the campground for a repair, so we avoided it by coming from the west. Leaving, we headed east one exit, about 3 miles, then looped back to get on the highway going west. The other option was a u-turn that we didn’t think we could make. It would be nice if they let people know this when you make a reservation.

We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again, if in the area. But, the bridge might discourage us.

We chose Lake Tawakoni as the second TT park we stayed at and to take a break from sightseeing and just relax. To say the park is out of the way is an understatement, but that was what we were looking for. Upon arrival, we checked in, got our information and were told to select our own site. We started in one loop, but then decided to head toward one of the lakefront loops. We were told the other lakefront loop was mostly full and that is where the annual units are. Driving through the loop, we found many of the sites were unavailable, signaled by a plastic bag on the utility pole. We found a site, but going into the loop to the right wasn't the correct direction, so my husband had to exit the loop, turn around and come back in going to the left.

We loved our site, it was longer than we needed and very wide. We were right on the lake, so we had room and clear skies to put the satellite out, while still having trees above us. The site looked like it was asphalt at one time, but it hadn't been maintained. The hookups are 30 amp with water and sewer. During our stay we had to reset the breaker and all seemed well, but we had to take our RV for some work and return to the park. When we disconnected the electric our connector had plastic from the outlet melted on it. The power had been working, but we reported it on our way out and it was replaced when we returned. To be safe we purchased a new 50-30 amp plug. We mentioned it to the staff a couple of times, but ours hints for reimbursement were ignored.

Most of the sites, not along the lakes edge, have heavy enough tree cover to prevent satellite use, but there are ones that satellite will work.

There are two pools and a hot tub, along with two community buildings, one for adults only. The pools closed the day after we arrived,but they both looked clean and in relatively good condition.

We ended up staying 8 nights, extended from our original plan of 5. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider returning. The biggest downfall is the isolation, there isn't much to do if you don't fish.

This RV park is located just off 101 and has convenient access to the Larkspurs ferry into San Francisco, which is the best reason to stay here. The sites are quite tight, it is basically a parking lot with gravel pads and no trees. We were fortunate enough to get two sites, one for our 5th wheel and one for our truck and we were grateful for the extra space. The sites are marked off with railroad ties and can be difficult to get into, but don't let that discourage you.

Upon checking in we received a lot of information about the area and getting into SF. The front desk was very helpful with our questions. The walk to the ferry is about 15 minutes, they give you a ferry schedule upon arrival, use it! The park have full hookups, so I didn't use the restrooms or showers, but my husband used then men's showers. You have to leave a $10 deposit for the card to use the shower, which you get back when you return the card. My husband said that two of the four showers were not operational. There are also showers and restrooms available at the pool area, I didn't visit those so I don't know what shape they were in. The park has a large laundry facility that is clean and fairly convenient. There are many washers and dryers and sizes range from large to extra large to really extra large. Prices vary, depending on hot or cold water and the size of the washer/dryer. There is a large table in the center for folding laundry.

The pool was open while we were there and our granddaughter used it once. It's small and can get quite crowded. I wouldn't call this a campground, it's really a parking area for visiting the area. There is little to no space to entertain outside, we didn't spend anytime outside at our site, even with the extra space.

One last thing, access to the park from the interstate can be confusing. We came from the North and decided to pass the first exit and continue to the one past the park. You exit, turn left and get back on the interstate heading North, taking the Lucky Drive exit to get to the park. Even this exit was a little confusing, keep right and be prepared to exit right rapidly. From there it's an easy left turn with the park being on your right.

I'm not in love with this park, but it's San Francisco and the easy access to the ferry made it a great location.
