Our stay was in Aug 2016. The price per night listed did not include the $25/week national park pass. We stayed 4 nights in Loop A. Each site in Loop A has 20 amp electric, a picnic table, and a fire ring. The sites in this loop vary greatly in size. Some are very small and others I would consider medium in size. Our site, A36 was one of the larger sites and quite private. We were on the outer side of the loop so no one was behind us, the parking for walk in tenting on one side and a site to our other side through the trees. All of the sites in this loop are back in.

Water is available at the restroom. There is also a dish washing sink available there also. WIFI is available at the restrooms and the check-in building. We could not get any consistent connection to it at our site.

Firewood was not available in the campground during our stay. There were many places to purchase it in the community with prices being $4/bundle.

Other reviews have given good reviews about Loop B which is very different from the loop we stayed in. The only thing I would add about Loop B is that this is where the dump station is and it was great even including hand sanitizer!

The only thing I didn't like is the lack of shower facilities. The campground was privately developed before given to the NP. A ranger said the NP had made some suggestions and some things were accepted and some were given a "no." He alluded that showers were a "no." It would be nice if a local person offered "shower concessions."

We were given a list of regulations with the campground map when we arrived. It included information on the storage of cooking supplies and string lights not being allowed. It is the same regulations we've seen at all the national parks we've stayed and didn't seem out of the ordinary.

Schoodic point is an hour from Desert Island and the popular points such as Cadillac Mountain and Bar Harbor. A free shuttle can take you to the harbor and you can pay to take a ferry over an then use the free shuttle on Desert Island. We opted to drive over for one day trip. (The ferry was over $20/person, only the shuttle was free.) We found plenty of things to explore on Schoodic point the remainder of our time. We preferred this quiet side of the park.

The road out to Schoodic is mostly a one way road that loops out of and then back into the park. RVs and trailers are not allowed on this road but there is free shuttle service from the campground. There are several points of interest in the area along the coast. The Schoodic Institute has a partnership with the National Park and there is an interactive visitor center at their location just before Schoodic point. We attended a Park Ranger program there as well as one at the campground amphitheater. Both programs were worth the time.

I'd love to return someday!

We had a tiny back in site with 30 amp and sewer. Sites are lined up and packed in as tight as possible. We found trash in our fire pit, a piece of concrete and a board as the sewer cover. The bathhouse was moderately clean. Campground has quiet hours which were violated every night by the campgrounds own activities of night time movies and karoke. Website advertised shuttle to falls which is the community/tourism shuttle that was costly. You are also at the last stop on the shuttle line so you will stop every couple blocks to and from the falls. Wifi didn't work. There is a small mini-golf course for $4 and a pool.

We would try another campground if in the area again. There wasn't anything to make us return here.

This RV park is like the pictures show. A gravel lot with a few small trees. It also has a playground, pool, bath house, laundry, and a camp store. A typical KOA along the interstate.

We arrived in the evening and had enough time to set up and let the kids run off energy on the playground for 10 minuets before a large thunderstorm hit. Gravel lot or not, we were thankful to be off the interstate and set up.

They offer a pancake/sausage breakfast onsite. We took advantage of that in an attempt to get the kids moving quickly before heading to Petrified Forest National Park. (The National Park doesn't offer camping.)

We would stay there again for a one night stop.

We were in the area the first weekend in May for another event. This was closest campground to our activity.

We have young teenagers and there were many things about this campground they would enjoy in warmer months. Two swim beaches, inflatables in the water to swim to, a small pool, mini golf, large chess set, jump pillow, fishing, canoe and kayak rentals. I believe the campground also holds events such as rides on a fire truck, corn hole tournaments, and such. There is also a small camp store.

The bathhouse was clean and certainly met our needs. There was individual rooms with a private sink, toilet, and shower.

Our only issue is individual site quality. The campground packs campers in a tight as they can. Privacy is at the top of our list of wants and this campground majorly failed in this area. Also, most sites aren't anywhere near level. Our site didn't have a fire ring but the sites around us did.

There are long term residents living full time in the campground as well as seasonal campers left there all summer.

I had Verizon cell service. The campground has WIFi which works best by the camp store. It only randomly worked from our site.

We stopped one night to rest, grocery shop nearby, and do laundry. This KOA met those needs. Sites are gravel/dirt with some trees or shrubbery between every other site. They offer a camp store, showers, pay laundry, pool, rec room with tv, mini golf, dump station, and propane. We were offered a small discount if we agreed to "like" them on fb. Someone lead us right to our assigned site.

Kudos to the people of Kingman, AZ. We found strange tire wear on the pop-up camper and after searching for a tire place we never found we ended up at Walmarts tire dept. They didn't have tires for the camper, but they called a local place and found what we needed. We headed over there where we were put ahead of the line. We finished were headed out of Kingman in less than 2 hours. Multiple people helped us out that day and we were grateful.

We camped in our pop-up tent camper for four nights in 2012.Campsites are first come, first served, no reservations. Campsites are assigned at check in based on camper/RV size and availability. Our camp site was large and had wooded space between sites. Our site had a bear box which was handy. Bears are in the area and bear preservation is taken seriously. Campers behind us were fined for leaving cooking pots outside unattended. The bathrooms are very old and could use updating. (I think they are the same ones which were there 35 years ago when I was a child.) They did function though. Pay showers down the road near the visitors center were a a bit pricey at $3.75 but worth it. Camp store near the visitors center.

The area is stunning and one of my favorite places on earth. Wish we could stay longer.

We needed to make a stop for the night in the area and this campground was easy to find from the interstate. We stayed here in July 2016 for one night.

Thirty nine dollars got us full hook-ups (30 amps) and a small site. We were on the end of a row and this gave us some additional privacy. Sites are close together. Most are long-term campers with decks attached to large rigs, permanent sheds, and individualized landscaping at each site. (I attempted to get a photo of the gnome garden but someone was staring me down from a neighboring site.)

We arrived at 4:45 on a Sunday and most amenities were closing at 5 pm. There was a very nice looking pool, closed at 5 pm on Sunday. As did the camp store, laundry, and arcade. We did spend the evening fishing in the two ponds. Because they are on private property we didn't need PA fishing licenses.

Bathhouse was clean. There are pay showers and .25 was enough for my teen who hasn't quite mastered a navy shower to be happy. The only issue was that the bathhouse lights turn on by motion sensor by the door. We were in the dark mid shower which wasn't nice.

There is some sort of arena across the street from the campground. There weren't any events being held when were were there. If something was happening the campground would have a lot more noise.

The campground at this state park opened on Nov 1, 2016 and we camped 2 nights the weekend of Nov 11-12. The campground was almost full over the weekend but was still quiet and relaxing.

Sites are gravel and mostly level but a little work at some sites getting might be required to get level. Each site has 20, 30, 50 amp electricity and water. There is also a picnic table and fire pit. Sites can accommodate large rigs and a few are pull thru, but most are back in. There is space between sites but they are not totally private.

The bath house, being less than 2 weeks of use was spotless. It is set up as individual rooms with a toilet and sink and is not gender specific. Virginia state parks says this was in response to a survey (that I recall completing) about campers who need help from opposite gender family members in restrooms. Showers are also a private set up and gender neutral.

There is a dump station in the park but we didn't use it.

The only issues we had was that the 30 amp at our site had reversed polarity. We notified the park and they added it to the punch-list for the contractor to address. Also, while the showers looked great, we couldn't get hot water from any of them.

Most sites have partial shade with sites with the exceptions being sites 1, 3, 28, and 29 being in full sun.

This state park is along the James River but the campground doesn't have any views of the river. Things to do here are canoeing (two canoe access in the park), hiking, biking and ranger lead activities. Hiking trails are dog friendly and some bike friendly.

I had 3 bars of 4g on my Verizon phone in the campground and 4 bars other places in the park.

We were visiting family in the area and camped at this private campground for 11 nights. Cost was $28 per night or $150 for a week. We prefer state or national parks but found ourselves pleasantly surprised by how quiet this park was during our stay. There were very few people around during the week and campers on the weekend were friendly and respectful to each other. Quiet hours were quiet with the exception of some distant highway noise.

This campground has 160 campsites and roughly 130 of them are "seasonal" rentals with permanent or semi-permanent large RVs. It did not appear that folks were living full time at the campground but were truly vacation units. The section we camped in was for nightly rentals and was mostly empty with a few campers joining us on the weekends. Campsites included water, electric, picnic table, and fire ring on a grass site. Some other sites were gravel. Sites were very close together with no privacy but never filled during our stay.

Campground has vault toilets in the campground. At the entrance and sharing a building with a Moose lodge is the bath house and arcade. The restroom/showers were very clean but the water pressure varied day to day and was downright lousy some days. This building is locked at night and only the vault toilets are accessible at times. Campground also had a swimming pool, small camp store, firewood for sale, propane for sale, two dump stations ($10 fee for non-camper use) and playground.

Overall, this wasn't a get away in the woods but a convenient place to stay near family (and Columbus, OH.) We will likely stay here again and would recommend as a one night stop or a place to stay while in the area.

We stayed at this campground for one night and then stored our camper here for 2 weeks while vacationing with family along the NC coast. Storage was beside a corn field in a mowed grassy area with about 3 other travel trailers. Cost was very reasonable at $1.75/day. We wouldn't hesitate to repeat this plan for storage in the future.

We arrived late and the office was still open going on 10 pm. A storm had just blown through so things were pretty muddy setting up. Our site and many of the sites along the pond are not level. Our neighbor next door said he had trouble all weekend getting his sewer to drain since the sewer was uphill in his site. We needed one night stay and wanted hookups to run our AC. This campground met those needs.

The campground map says this family campground has been around for 50 years. Things were clean but a bit run down. Sites are grass/dirt and unlevel. Most campers are left here permanently with decks an storage sheds on sites. Age of rigs didn't seem to be an issue. Campsites are close together and offer no privacy. We would stay for a night, but because of the lack of privacy wouldn't stay much longer.

The campground offers a church service on Sunday, pool, playground, fishing pond, paddle boats, mini golf, and trails.
