The above rate represents the 50% Passport America discount.
Very helpful manager on-site. Park is right off the Highway which makes for easy-in and easy-out. However, there is road noise here.
Interior roads are gravel and certainly wide enough to handle any sized rig. Sites are gravel. long and level with a picnic table provided. Bathroom is an individual room which contains a toilet, sink and shower and was in good shape and clean. Pretty quiet here and it seems as though there are several long-term campers.
A good place to spend a quick overnight or two t if one is a Passport America member. Otherwise, $45 seems pretty pricey for what this place offers.

A decent option for an overnight stay. Easy to get to off of US 95. The campground has 12 good sized, level and gravel sites. There are 10 pull thrus and one of the 2 back-ins is occupied by the camp host. Each site has a water and electric hook-up (my site only had a 30 amp plug) and picnic table. There is a dump station and a bath facility. You need to get the key or code to the bathroom from the camp host. I didn't use it. Any sized rig could easily be accommodated here. I arrived at about 7PM on a Monday night and got the only site available. It appears most of the sites are occupied on a long term basis, but nothing sketchy or unkempt. The campground is part of a large city park.
All in all, a reasonably priced option with hook-ups for an overnight stay.

Stayed here for an overnight in November, 2019. The above rate reflects the Passport America discount.
Easy access off of I-396 on the west side of Texarkana. Not much to this place. Fairly typical RV Park. Payment is made at the tire shop next door. We had a pull thru which had enough room for us to remain hitched for the night. All utilities (elect/water/sewer) worked as they should. Cable TV did not work. Several permanent residents here. Place was quiet, though there was some road noise as this location is just off a fairly busy highway. Didn't use any of the facilities while here.
For $15 PA rate, a good alternative to a Walmart for a one night stay. Would return again for a one night stay if need be in the future.

While the park itself has a resort worthy pool and spa along with great beachfront seating, the words which come to my mind about this park are clean and tight.
The facilities are impecably clean and well cared for by a great staff, but some of the sites are very tight, especially if you have a larger rig. The site we stayed at, #19, was very tight for our 35 foot fifth wheel. Not only was there barely room to fit my tow vehicle after we had unhitched, but the width of the site caused us to have to reposition several times getting set up so our slides could be opened without crushing the hedges. In addition, there was little to no room at all at the rear of our rig with thorny bushes right up against the back window. This made connecting the snowy cable TV very tricky and painful. There are very nice paver patios at each site, but ours was completely useless as it is simply too far to the rear of the site to be utilized by a fifth wheel. Neighbors are very close, but the six foot hedges do a good job in mitigating that issue.
While the facility is very, very nice, I guess I was expecting a bit better for the price. As I mentioned the setting and pool are great, but that is about it as far as amenities go. A small clubhouse with only a couple of tables and a TV with couch is about it.

The above rate reflects a 50% Passport America discount. Thank goodness. Spending $40 to stay in the upper campground would have been robbery!
Unfortunately, when I was here in late June, the lower campground was closed for maintenance. A real shame -- after spending several days fighting to get level in the Blue Ridge Parkway campgrounds, a nice, flat field of grass was calling to me. Instead I got more levelling woes "up top!!"
The upper campground, according to the very nice, helpful and friendly host, had just been "renovated." That must mean some gravel has been haphazardly spread over the old dirt pads - I guess. The bath house is horrible. There is also a good deal of noise from the public swimming pool which is located near the top loop of the campground.
The upper campground is very hilly, which made getting into a site challenging. The fact that some of the sites were facing the wrong way to back into didn't help matters any. Neither did the utilities on the wrong side of site 32, which I didn't discover until I was ready to haul out the ole levelling blocks.
In the end, the host pointed me to Site 8 and it isn't too bad. It actually has a paved surface and is much closer to level than any of the other sites. And SCORE - it was the only site which had a picnic table!!
For $22 bucks with water and electric, it's hard to complain too much. There is a dump station near the entrance. But there is no way I would ever come back here if I had to camp in the Upper Campground. The lower one looks like it would be perfectly fine as long as there were no special events or rallies taking place there.

The above rate reflects the weekly rate.
This park is completely off the beaten path and about 20 miles or so off Interstate 24 on fairly rolling and winding smaller roads. It is a converted chicken farm and family owned and operated. The hospitality offered by the owner and the staff was second to none. When you first see the campground from the road you might not think too much of it, but once on the immaculately kept grounds you won't be disappointed. All of the sites are gravel pull thrus and are mostly level and long enough for any sized rig and tow vehicle or toad. The sites are fairly close together. There is a bath house with a separate bathroom and shower in addition to a washer and dryer. Nothing really here in the way of amenities such as shuffleboard, a pool, or clubhouse. There is a small pond where you can fish if you'd like and a gathering area with chairs, tables and a fire pit. There are several cabins on site as well. It appears most of the campers here are longer term, but the sites were clutter free and the campground was very peaceful and quiet. Full hook ups (most with 50 amp) at every site.
The tiny town of Altamont is about 5 miles away where there is limited services, though there is a convenience store with gas and diesel. A Dollar General market is about a half mile outside of town. Lots of great hiking and waterfalls in the area and the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg is about an hour's drive away and would be a nice day trip.
While a stay in any site here would be good, we had the amazing good fortune for the owner to tell me upon arrival that we would be in site #1 which he said is "the best in the park." He was not kidding!! It is the furthest site to the north at the end of the first loop as you enter the park. There is no site outside your door and the view is simply stunning. I know where the name for this park comes from. Not so sure you would be able to have this view from your patio in any other site. It was simply fabulous just to sit out and enjoy the view.

As with other SKP Co Ops we have stayed at, this facility is very well laid out, super clean and is home to friendly folks.
Stayed here in June on our way to the Keys and the above rate is the daily off season rate. Sites are all paved and level with ample space. Nice and very affordable laundry facility. Great clubhouse where we enjoyed shooting pool during our brief stay. Since it was summer, it seemed about half of the residents were gone for the season, and because of that, there were no planned activities while we were here. We did meet some very friendly folks, which seems to be a given at all the SKP parks and Co-Ops we have stayed at. Given the time of year, it was very, very quiet.
Lots of shopping and restaurants in the area. The park is easy to get to from the highway and has wide, paved interior roads. Though it was a good stop over on our way south, I would imagine it would be far better to stay here during the winter as there would be many activities and social opportunities.

While there is a gravel area with electric (only) hookups for $25/night, I opted to park in the main lot for free. It served its purpose as I was able to find a nice, level spot. Unfortunately, I was awakened at about midnight by a pair of tanker trucks who decided to park right next to me, with an entire empty lot of other options where they could have parked. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.
Otherwise, the casino left much to be desired. They have lots of slots, a handful of table games and a sportsbook. I wanted to get a bite to eat around 6PM (I was there on a Sunday), but all 3 of the restaurants were closed. Hmm.
All in all, you would be just as well off parking overnight (if you are looking for a freebie) at the Walmart about 5 miles down the road in Riverton.

While posted signs state a 5 day limit, some very nice camp hosts allowed us to stay a bit longer. Camped here in mid to late June 2020. I would imaging arriving here early on a Wednesday morning was likely a major reason we were able to snag this spot.
Very easy access here on a wide and well maintained (compared to the other gravel roads in the area) gravel road. This particular spot, about 2 miles from the main road, is just beyond the signage for the entire area and directly across from a road construction supply area. This site is easily big and accessible enough for the largest of rigs. We oriented ourselves with our door facing the woods and fire pit. Easy enough to get level and plenty of open canopy for solar panels to do their thing. We really enjoyed it here for its views and seclusion. Location-wise it is inside the Moran Junction entrance to the Nat'l Park, so it is relatively convenient to all the Tetons have to offer. The good thing is the distance from the main road and smoothness of the access road don't prolong driving times as other longer and less maintained roads accessing dispersed areas can be.
Only a couple of concerns with this site: first of all, being at the beginning of the area, there is a surprising amount of traffic going to and from sites further back. This led to not only an unexpected amount of road noise, but also a good amount of dust. Secondly, after the first couple of days, the mosquitos got pretty annoying. Always had to spray up.
Despite these two concerns, the good far outweigh the bad here. We would most definitely choose this spot again if we ever come back to the Tetons.

How many campgrounds have you been to where the Mayor of the town met you at the entrance (after taking your phone call), gave a tour of available sites -- in his car with his dog, Buddy -- and assisted in picking a site to fit your needs?
Welcome to Brookside City Campground! Roger - the actual Mayor of Graysville - met us there and did all that is outlined above.
This is a City Park with a couple of ball fields and a camping area. The sites in the camping area are loosely defined. Ours, for example was a back-in site into the middle of the interior grassy area of the campground. And it was certainly nice enough -- 50 amp electric, a water spigot and sewer connection with a fire pit on a roomy, level site. Getting here off of the Interstate is a bit tight and winding, but easily doable with a degree of caution. Google maps does a good job in defining the route to here from I-22. Once at the Park, the interior dirt roads have a couple of sharp curves and can be a bit tight in spots. Care should be exercised to deal with a couple of low hanging branches. The area was very quiet and shady. There is a walking trail, which can be hard to follow in places, and there is a nearby kayak launch. I think there is a bathroom by the ball fields. This location is close (about 20 miles) to Birmingham, where there is a wide variety of things to do and see.
We found camping options in Birmingham to be few and/or pricey (Oak Mountain State Park, for instance, had no sites for us). This location, a short drive to Birmingham, at $20 for a full hook-up site, would be hard to beat for a short stay in the area.
