This is an urban campground, probably not in the best part of Salt Lake City. If you come here hoping for some peace and quiet, you will be disappointed. This campground is central to the city and city activities; it is close to the highways and is close to public transport. Yes, you will hear trains at night.

We stayed here for nine days in early October after spending the past few weeks away from civilization. We were craving those city activities, those quick meals, those drive through Starbucks. This campground satisfied the need.

We had a pull through with full hookups; the water, electricity, and even cable were all perfect during our stay. We did have a backed-up sewer pipe one morning but they resolved it within fifteen minutes of reporting it.

The first weekend we were there the campground was very full, a conference was going on downtown. Other RVers surrounded us. Over the next week, the park emptied out and the following weekend the park was only 25% full. There was very little intra-park noise, but you do hear the light-rail, the airplanes, the helicopters, and the trains. Most of them are far enough away it does not keep you up all night, but you can notice them if you pay attention.

The price to stay here nine days was reasonable and the onsite laundry was one of the better ones we have seen. The playground is smaller, but the toddlers spent hours burning energy on it.

This place is a great place to escape from reality for a few days. The RV campground is very large and has a number of amenities, which makes your stay pleasant. It has a close proximity to the Strip.

Unfortunately, the spaces are tight in between units and it is located next to an Interstate. Even with this, we slept soundly in the RV campground. The security at the front gate was a positive even though the RV was in a good neighborhood.

The pool, laundry facilities, bathroom were all well maintained and clean.

Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Would we come back? Absolutely.

The Fillmore KOA is an oasis in a sea of bad RV campgrounds. The grounds here are beautifully maintained, the spacing between each space it appropriate, and the services provided are excellent.

When we arrived the person, staffing the front desk was very helpful, she escorted us to our space and made sure we were happy. Over the next two days we used the laundry facilities were happy that they were so clean. Two caveats though, small folding table and dyers that cannot be extended.

The WiFi was strong and reliable. There is an annoying login screen, which we had to log into every time we needed to surf, but I could overlook this, annoyed me.

Would I recommend this park? Absolutely. Will we come back? Absolutely.

We recently stayed here for three days because we wanted to explore St. George Utah. We were disappointed would not come back. This campground is a KOA so it had an easy reservation and check-in process. The price to stay here was not that expensive, which is good because if we had paid more I would have asked for a refund and left.

This RV campground is all gravel, which is annoying, but what is worst is that many of the spots are on a sharp hill and very narrow with uneven terrain. The spot we had, 104, had about six feet between our spot and our neighbors on 1 side and three feet on the other side. The spots are so tight that one overnight fifth wheel hit the cable box as they pulled in and struggled to squeeze around the tree on the other side.

Our spot was at a very sharp angle; our levelling jacks struggled to get our RV flat. When we left we could not connect our Jeep at our spot, we had to drive the RV to another location to connect the Jeep. Very inconvenient.

Our spot had full hookups and there were no issues, hence why I can give these place two stars. The surprising "feature" of this park I have never seen is that there is one sewer connection with two inlets, I imagine if our neighbors dumped the same time we did we would cause a mess.

Tengo provided WIFi and during our stay, it "worked" which is to say I could surf the web, but there were many interruptions and the link was not reliable enough to hold conference calls as part of my job. The playground was new, but placed near a sharp drop and not well thought out. The kids enjoyed it but my blood pressure was a bit high.

The RV campground is also very difficult to get to from I-15, if you are coming from the North it is easy to get to/from. If you are coming from the south, there is a very sharp corner off the freeway and finding your way back to the freeway is a 3-5 mile bumpy ride. The RV campground shares a small valley with the Interstate, so you do hear some noise rattling throughout the night.

The laundry facility is nice, the machines are newer and there were a good number of machines available. This was a positive for the RV campground.

Would I recommend this park? No, not at all. Will we come back? Absolutely not. I would consider a level Walmart parking lot before visiting again.

We recently stayed in Seligman for two days, our original plan was a simple overnight stop but a windstorm prevented us from continuing our journey.

Our spot was nice, it had full hookups (no Cable) and the bathrooms were clean. The Wireless worked, barely, and the laundry room had some older machines.

For almost $40 a night, I would have expected more. It was a very basic RV campground at a high price.

Would I recommend this park? It is perfect for an overnighter Will we come back? If we are passing through.

As part of our ongoing road trip across the US, we decided to visit Roswell, NM for a few days. This looked like the best RV park according to what I had read, so we aimed the RV for the campground.

We arrived very late and were surprised to only find three spots available. We filled out the night registration and pulled in for the night. Our space was VERY tight to the other RVs and we shared an electric pedestal.

I walked around the next morning and found that 85% of the visitors were full timers. Everyone was gone working during the day so the park was empty. There is a long list of rules, including you cannot leave your dog outside of your camper EVEN if you are out there with them.

This is a great place to stay for a night, but nothing longer really is worth it. The nightly cost is high for what was offered and the condition of the RV park could use some improvement.

I am pretty meh about this place; it served a purpose but not a place I would come back to.

We stayed here for a total of three days with partial hookups, both water and electric (50amp) were offered, but sewage would need to be dumped on our way out. The new spot was near the top of a hill overlooking the lake and surrounding area. We were also just below a cell tower which meant we had full coverage while here so Aaron could work uninterrupted. The sites are large with a covered picnic area and fire pit.

We enjoyed staying here; there was a little play area for the girls and plenty of land to explore as a family.

We stayed at LazyDays Campground which was a nice place to park for a few days. It is a large, straightforward, clean RV park .

LazyDays has its own Service department, you need to call at least a month ahead to schedule any work. In addition they have a RV sales department, as well as complimentary training courses and seminars to make you more comfortable and knowledgeable in your RV.

The laundry facilities were top notch, new machines with the option of paying with credit/debit card in addition to quarters. They had a large enclosed dog park, but other than the pool, there was not much for the kids to do.
