Making reservations by phone was easy. I found out that this is a new RV park and they didn’t consider themselves open yet. Still, they gave me my choice of spots. Check in was easy because they told me to just pick a spot and they would come to me. They started constructing this park in April 2023 and are not complete yet. The site was level (side to side) concrete with full hookups. No picnic table or fire pit yet but it appears like they plan to have these. No real amenities (nothing for kids, no shower/restroom). No cover in the camp as it is new but there is a nice woods with trails nearby. Antenna has good reception. No Wi-Fi (yet) but AT&T gets 3 bars. The camp is within an hour of Charlotte, NC and close to Kings Mountain.

This place is open for campers even when Google says it is closed. There are quite a few grass sites with electric and a few have water as well. With nothing going on at the fairgrounds we were all by ourselves. It is convenient to Rugby and an hour away from the Peace Gardens and Minot. $15 donation is suggested.

Reservations were easy on the Campspot (Campendium) site. Thereafter, every exchange was electronic (email or text). There is no office and I never saw a manager. The park seems fairly new. The sites are level gravel and all are pull through. The trees are all young so no real cover. There is one bathroom and for some reason they have a code to keep it locked (they give you the code but I assure you, there is no one else out here to use it). Amenities are few with a small playground and no picnic tables or fire rings. Camp WiFi is good if you are close to the center of camp but it did not reach our site (no response from management when I asked a question about this). Antenna reception is great with all major networks. AT&T had 2 bars 5G which was good enough to stream. The main reason to stay here is to visit the Raleigh area but the Smithfield Greenway is a nice bike path nearby.

Making reservations was easy on the Campendium/Campspot app. Everything was ready at check in. The sites are level pull through sites that fit all size rigs. It is a stretch to call this a camp. It is a parking lot. This is typical for urban campgrounds as is the campground across the street. Every site has a picnic table but no fire ring. Amenities are few (the dog run is nice). AT&T has 2 bars 5G which is good enough for streaming. The WiFi is weak and unusable most of the time. Antenna gets all networks. There is no cover. The main reason to be here is the close proximity to Chattanooga and all the attractions there.

This was a difficult site to book. It did not exist on Campendium until I added it. They have no website. There is an office but it was closed when I arrived (5:30 pm in the middle of Covid). We booked by filling out an envelope and dropping the envelope with cash into a drop box. This process was easy. There are many sites that are available. Most sites are full hookups. Cell signal is excellent and the HD antenna brings in 2 networks. The sites are gravel but quite level (I did not even unhook). The area is behind a closed gas station and is in poor shape. It is good for an overnight. There are no amenities for children. It is close to Austin and the Spam Museum. It seems that most of the nearby RV parks have no website so it is a crapshoot if you can get a site. This one is passable at best.

Even on a weekend in a popular snowbird time I found it easy to get a reservation using the nationwide KOA website. I extended it a night when I arrived having found it was far better than described by other Campendium reviewers. This is a lovely camp with excellent facilities and helpful office staff. Any criticism is likely from very large rigs as the roads seem better adapted to smaller rigs. Nonetheless, I saw rigs of all sizes including with additional trailers. Many, if not most, of the sites are pull through. Most sites are separated by trees or a fence. There is a fire pit, grill and picnic table at each site. There are full hookups available including cable (didn’t work for me but it may be a problem with my system). I was very happy with antenna reception that includes all the major networks. AT&T has 2 bars of 5G. The camp WiFi is fast enough and reception is good (my site is toward the back of the camp). There are lots of amenities including a jumping pillow and playground for kids, dog areas, clean restroom/showers, laundry and hiking trails that lead into the mountains. The camp is really in town but has a forest feel. It is close to everything in Flagstaff.

This is a true resort with many water features, recreational activities and themed activities that make it wonderful for children of all ages. Getting the reservation was relatively easy with their online tool. Getting two adjoining sites would require an exorbitant extra fee. Fortunately, we stopped by a few months early and they listed us a “group” so waived the fee and locked in our sites (probably because one was a cabin and the trailer site adjacent was not a desirable one). Trying to connect by phone was nearly impossible. Checking in was easy as it was online with just a brief stop at the office. The front office people are very helpful but most of the rest of the staff are barely competent. None of the sites in the original area were particularly level but they added a large number of sites to the west that are drive through concrete slab (and level). Our site was a nightmare to back into as trees, fences and a very narrow street proved to be obstacles. Furthermore, the site had a sewer at the front and about 50 feet to the water and power in the back. My cable wouldn’t reach so I never tested the cable TV. Antenna reception is 3 PBS stations. AT&T had 3 bars LTE. Every site has a picnic table and grill. The park attracts the young and rowdy so noise, fireworks and littering rules are not enforced. They have a restaurant and store on site that are predictably overpriced. Camp WiFi is by cable so without a cable router you are out of luck. All the negatives aside, this is a great family park due to all the amenities: Waterslides for all ages, lazy river, wave pool (1-2 foot breakers), basketball pool, wading pool, miniature golf, multiple playgrounds, Gaga Ball court, basketball courts, lake with basketball, volleyball and other features and plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for everyone (weekdays anyway).

This is a good place to stay near Nashville (<30 minute drive depending on traffic). The service was top notch. Check in is easy especially if you have previously stayed at a KOA. Availability was tight and we could not stay an extra night (Friday). It is difficult to find without Google maps. Once checked in you are escorted to your spot and checked on to be sure everything is satisfactory. The sites are close but not uncomfortable. There is a fire pit and picnic table. My site was pull through but there are a few back in spots. Full hookups are available but were taken already. We had 20/30/50 amp and water. There is a dump station on the property (very nice and well engineered). Check out is 11 am. Wifi is not great but cell service has good data speeds. Many antenna TV channels are available. There is a pool, basketball court, kids playground, picnic pavilion, pet area, laundry and showers that are kept nice. There is a dog park. Good places to visit include President Jackson’s Hermitage, Broadway music venues, the Music Hall of Fame, Johnny Cash museum and the Parthenon.

The website is easy to negotiate and making a reservation was easy. They have 100% cancellation up to 14 days before the reservation. This campground looks like it is full of fun activities for kids and families. They have water slides, pools, game areas, a theater and a jump pad. We came in October so all of these were closed. In fact, even the office was closed so I had to find my own way to my site which I reserved online. There are a variety of drive through and back in sites of all lengths. There are some that have complete sun exposure but most are in dense woods. Power is available in 20, 30 and 50 amp. There is water at every site. The dump station is free to campers. The cellular coverage was adequate but not great and somewhat intermittent. The TV antenna pulled in 3 of the 4 major networks but the signal was inconsistent at times. The location is central to just about everything in Door County. The pictures on their web site are accurate to what they have.

Check in was smooth. They even offered me discounted tickets to the ferry to Mackinac Island. The tickets were $2 off and they told me how to arrange a shuttle pickup that was really easy. Most of the sites are drive through and level side to side. There are a lot of mature trees so a lot of shade. This was Fourth of July weekend so it was very full but there were still some empty sites. All types of campers were accommodated. I had water and electric (50/30/20 amp). Fireworks are not allowed but that didn't stop the campers next to me and a fight ensued. Most everyone else was respectful of quiet hours. Dump station is conveniently located. Many people were enjoying the pool, miniature golf and pet area (fenced in). The location is close to the ferries, Castle Rock, the Mystery Spot, Deer Park and a short drive over the Mackinaw Bridge to Michilimackinac Fort, the historic lighthouse and the coast guard icebreaker Mackinaw. Restrooms are centrally located and well maintained. No antenna channels.
