The casino parking lot allows RV overnighting.

However, to be clear we stayed here March 9th, before the casino closed due to the coronavirus.

The lot is well-lit and patrolled regularly — we saw security drive by multiple times throughout the night. We felt very safe and got a great night’s sleep.

We went into the casino, mostly to have a drink and walk around. We don’t gamble, but we stuck a few dollars in a machine.

We ate at the buffet the next afternoon — sign up for a player’s card and get a coupon for 2-for-1! The buffet was fine, a mix of normal buffet items (ham, Mac and cheese, salad) and southern food (crawfish, collared greens) and the best dessert selection we’ve ever seen.

(Also, on the night we were there, they were filming a movie. Some upcoming poker movie with Oscar Issac. We got to see him and Tiffany Haddish film at the bar.)

We loved this place! It was our first stay in a resort like this and we weren’t disappointed. Sure it’s a bit pricey, but totally affordable for a couple of nights. We had lots of neighbors in our full-hookup area, but the spaces still felt laid out nice and semi private. The bathrooms and showers were always clean and stocked, and the pool area was equally well-attended. We enjoyed splashing around in the play area, tried the lazy river and the indoor heated pool. The accessibility to the beach was awesome — we took walks in the evening and runs in the morning. Beer in the camp store was a tad expensive. There was a bunch of Halloween activities going on the weekend we were there - trick or treating for the kids, a pet costume contest but it was always peaceful and we got good sleep. The place is huge, lots of full-timers but again, very well laid out. We’ll absolutely be back!

Only 2 bummers were the fact that when it rained, our site got soaked. And its all sand and dirt. So wet sand=wet sandy RV floor. I would have loved to seen concrete pads, but you can’t always get what you want! And the WIFI sucks. Don’t count on it. Super spotty from our site. The free cable was great though.

We stayed here for a full week in MARCH during California's lockdown due to the coronavirus.
Full weekly price: $245

We had site #112 - a really nice site at the end of a row. We had a little grass area with a picnic table and a bench, and were located right across from the bathrooms & laundry (but we didn't use either--we saw staff cleaning each day but we were in a period of self quarantine before joining my family in the Bay Area and didn't want to risk anything.)

Honestly, as much as we didn't want to be in Bakersfield -- (as in, we would have rather been touring the national parks we had planned to!) -- we still enjoyed our stay here. The campground was clean and quiet, very well kept, and Eric even set up his disc golf basket next to the RV and practiced his putting. We had also asked for a site close to a router-- the front desk staff was really accommodating to that request, and we found the wifi was fairly reliable and fast.

The park is set next to a farm, so you may hear some livestock noises, especially if you're the left row like we were. Can also hear the train, but not so loud that it was a bother.

Although we hope we don't have to quarantine in Bakersfield again, A County RV Park is somewhere we'd stay again and would recommend to others.

We needed a place to stay on our way to the Florida gulf coast in early March. And unfortunately it seems like the RV options in the Tallahassee area are lacking. We couldn’t make it in time to use the Harvest Host stay, so we chose this park.

It’s nothing special. We stayed in #54, which is up front of the campground, near the road (although it wasn’t too noisy). Some of the sites look like they aren’t super level, and there seems like there’s a lot of full-time residents. The extremely tiny bathroom/shower was kept clean-ish, we didn’t use any of the other amenities.

Wifi was fast and solid, being so close to the office. The campground is walking distance to a Publix (grocery store) which was nice as we don’t have a car. We didn’t have issues with the rules like other reviewers, but we don’t have pets.

The positives are the park grounds are well kept up. We greatly appreciated the motion detection lights around the office, as we took our showers at night. And the check-in process with the office staff was friendly and informative.

Still, for $50 it seemed like an expensive stay for not much in return.

We stayed one night (March 8th) in site #007.

This campground is super cute, and well taken care, but honestly it was a lot for just an overnight stay. We were trying to use a AAA discount, but it had expired. If we had realized that before, we would have tried looking for a different campground.

Showers and bathrooms are very clean, and the office was welcoming and friendly. We didn’t use the other amenities like the pool or the little private beach. Our site was right against the fence and the tree next to us held some extremely noisy birds. Not a ton of privacy in the sites. It seemed like everyone had two or three dogs — seriously, there were so many dogs.

Wifi was strong and fast, although the park’s policies prohibit streaming videos or downloading content, with some vague suggestions of action or fines taken against you if you’re caught doing so. Honestly, we streamed Hulu for a few hours at night and didn’t have a single moment of buffering or anybody knocking on our door so... not sure why that policy is enforced or not.

We would recommend this campground for somebody who’s going to be spending more time in the area, or if you can find a discount. But like we said, it was expensive for us for just an overnight.

We were in site #200 for 4 nights.

We chose this park to give ourselves a break as we were driving towards the west coast, as the coronavirus began shutting down parts of the country. To be honest, once we got set up, we only left the campground once for a bike ride so we didn’t explore much of Las Cruces.

But we did enjoy our stay here. Full hook-ups and clean bathrooms/showers and a big laundry room (lots of machines, and relatively cheap). Our site was a back-in along the road, and you can hear a little bit of noise from the interstate, but not enough to notice. The front office staff were really kind, and had taken multiple precautions for social distancing. As such, the common areas were closed (no access to pool, etc). We used the showers and laundry room once, but mostly stayed in the RV.

Iffy Wifi, connection from our site would go in and out. Our cheap extender (WifiCampPro2) didn’t really stay connected. Cable hookup had lots of channels though, and was solid. Would have preferred a stronger Wifi connection — I would ask the front desk for a closer site next time.

The general roads are nicely paved, but the sites themselves are gravel. The sites along the road are sort of sharply angled in relation to the connections; bigger rigs might have more trouble getting into a good position. However, the sites were very well maintained. The maintenance cart will pick up trash set outside your site!

Stayed here on April 29th using Passport America. Was open and accepting reservations, had clear physical distancing measures in place -- the office had set out our information packet and we dropped cash payment in an envelope at the office.

Great little park not far off the highway. Really quiet, we got a great night's sleep. The campground is well-kept & while we didn't use the public bathrooms, showers or laundry, we would bet they're clean and taken care of.

Our concrete pad for site #42 was a little uneven; we had to use some leveling blocks under our front tires to help our auto-leveling jack system. Hookups were solid, internet fairly fast and strong. Would definitely stay here again to explore the area.

TO BE CLEAR, this review is from our stay in early March. We got to the park on the same day that the Mayor of NO confirmed 3 cases of coronavirus and canceled public events, but the city had yet to shut down.

We stayed 3 nights using Passport America. Honestly, this is one of those hidden gem parks, especially with the PA discount.

We had site M-1 which is considered a deluxe site. Our back window had a view of the marina which was noisy during the day, but made for good yacht watching and was quiet overnight, and we were right near the restroom and laundry.

The campground is great. The store is pretty big and the front office staff are some of the best we’ve come across. There’s a bar and restaurant onsite, a nice pool and hot tub (we didn’t end up using them though). The bathrooms were clean, but single stalls only, and there’s only 2 restrooms for the whole park. We used the laundry room, which saw a bunch of traffic. Be prepared to wait for bathrooms or laundry during high-volume times. Be warned too that the road leading to the campground is rough and industrial — the whole area rundown; even our Lyft driver had no idea where we were taking him! But we promise the park itself is clean and safe!

There’s WiFi, but we were way too far away to connect anything, so it was useless. Why don’t they have an extender or separate hotspot for the farthest end of the campground?? There’s cable but we really would have preferred a WiFi connection.

The best part of the park for us was the shuttle into New Orleans. It’s $6 and runs a couple times a day, drops you right off in the French Quarter, and the last ride back is 8pm. We only took it there, and used Lyft to get back at night (DON’T MAKE THE MISTAKE WE DID and forget to write down the front gate code!! The gates are locked at night, and when we got back at 10pm, we were stuck outside. Fortunately, a gentleman in a nearby RV saw us pacing and frantically trying to find a phone number to call and he told us the code to get in. Oops!)

We’ve visited New Orleans before, so we just hit up a few spots like Pat O’Briens. Again, this was before everything closed because of the coronavirus. We took precautions like washing our hands carefully and using hand sanitizer, but in retrospect it felt like the city hadn’t realized the extent of the spread.

However, we would absolutely stay here again (maybe closer to the front office for a WiFi connection) and encourage others to check it out when they want to visit New Orleans.

To be clear, this review is from our stay in the middle of March, before Texas State Parks closed due to the coronavirus.

44 - We were in this site for our first night (we added on an extra day to our reservation, but couldn’t get it for the same site as the campground was fully booked.) This site was beautiful, nice wide flat driveway, you have your own little grove with good trees for a hammock! Lots of birds in the morning - the cardinals might drive you a little crazy with their songs.

Water hookup was broken though and very leaky. We had to fill water into our fresh water tank and run the pump rather than stay connected. Short walk to the showers and bathrooms. Facilities are what would expect from a state park: shared shower areas, water pressure kind of weak.

We had chosen this campground based on its proximity to Austin, which we didn’t get to explore since everything was closed down. What a bummer, Austin is one of our favorite cities.

6 - This is a fantastic site! We were here for 3 nights. We hung up our hammock and spent lots of time outside. Nice grassy area for a tent or two; this would be a perfect site for a larger family or a group of friends (you know, when it reopens).

The state park is awesome. We biked a bunch, took long walks to look at the wildflowers, walked along the falls. The park is beautifully maintained. Firewood is sold in vending machines throughout the campsites, but it’s real expensive (like $20 a stack; we skipped on having a fire).

Staff is wonderful too. On our last night, a ranger came around to tell us the park was closing the next day (4/20/2020) but by that point, the park was pretty deserted. Crazy that it went from full when we arrived to nearly empty the day we left, even before the park officially closed. Anyway, it was a great stay and we’ll definitely be back!

We’re in a 32ft RV (no toad).

Stayed here for a week while my parents were visiting Maine. We choose this campground because it was close to Old Orchard Beach and belonged to the PA discount program. We’re super glad we choose it. The family running the place are extremely nice and helpful, the shower and bathroom facilities are clean (quarters are required for the showers though), and the campground is located walking distance to food, grocery and the Eastern Trail bike/walk path.

It’s a small campground, and mostly has full-season residents, but we were here in mid-October, literally right up to their closing data. Saw a couple of other traveling RVs come through, but it was really quiet. We’ll definitely be staying here again when we’re back in Maine!
