Great park, relax and enjoy

This is a great RV Park, there is a lot that can be said...with one caveat. This is a large park that is clean and neat. It is being maintained constantly. Check-in was easy at a very nice store/gift shop/ office. They actually had a lot of products in stock, both food and camping supplies as well as souvenirs and gift items. We were able to buy milk!! The grounds are manicured with a lot of flowering shrubs and plenty of shade trees. There is a large covered picnic pavilion with a big, big fire pit and lots of tables and grills. There is a pool that is clean and looked very inviting, though we didn't try it. Also a children's playground that looked new. Nearby was a very nice wooden gazebo for just relaxing out of the sun and enjoying the flowers. Each site has a picnic table and the front row sites each have a chimenea, but open fire pit fires are not allowed. There is also a rally room and one of the nicest "Rec" rooms I have encountered with real exercise equipment, book and dvd exchange, and tables and chairs for just getting together. The bathrooms are clean and well appointed, the showers were hot, though I believe the shower enclosures needed some scrubbing...probably hard water. Basins, mirrors and counter tops were all squeaky clean.
Still no cable, but OTA antenna TV will get you all the major networks plus other digital stations. Wi-Fi has been greatly improved with a number of hot-spots to choose from.
The "Heads-Up" for this campground: the roads are narrow,and the sites are tight, making for very shallow turns. Get the walkie-talkies you use for back-ins and send your navigator out to help you pull into your site. Even the Old Pros who have pulled into thousands of campsites, should send someone out to watch. Large RV combinations definitely need extra help. Someone from the office will also help. The park enforces overflow parking, the roads are as clear as possible, just not wide and decorative shrubs and boulders edge the site entrance and exit. Drive careful and enjoy this wonderful oasis off the road. Relax!

Cheep Rats

Slow Wi-Fi and air t.v. giving you maybe 5 channels and they are off the beaten track. The site is not level and I'll be sleeping on my head since we haven't learned the art of leveling with a class C. Plus, the sign says "Gentlemen, please turn off your engine". I'm not a gentlemen and I was driving. For $36 I have gotten a lot more at other parks than what they offer. After 11 RV parks in 3 weeks, this is the worst. They shouldn't advertise on the highway if they don't provide basic cable. air or at least good wi-fi.

Rating based on attitude only

Have had two good stays there. However, this time not so good. Terrible weather-downpours, tornado alerts. Couldn't decide if we should stay another night or move. Heard forecast. Decided to leave. Called for late checkout and was told a fee per hr for each rig. Park had lots of empty spaces. The day before the host had just said" if u need late checkout, please let me know so I don't put anyone on your site ". No mention of charges. Very inconsiderate, we felt. Do not plan to return.

Quiet, Next to the Fairgrounds

A nice quiet campground but I suspect it can get rowdy when there is activity in the next door fairgrounds. Good level sites. Shower head pressure could be higher. My shower controller was backwards with hot water to the right - an easy fix - just turn the cartridge 180 degrees. We were here two days and the men's toilets remained dirty, but the floors and showers were clean. No cable TV and I could not get NBC or CBS over the air.
It is nice to finally stay at a RV park that is not inches from the Interstate.

Cottonwoods RV Park

We stayed here three nights. Quiet location(nothing going on at nearby fairgrounds during middle of the week). Laundry is adequate wit 6 washers and 4 dryers. Bathhouse is clean. Grounds are well-kep. There are several semi-permanent residents but the area is clean. Swimming pool for the kids--I saw a man cleaning the pool every morning.
