South Beach State Park Campground

4
Dec 2014

Convenient Spot

This state park is conveniently located to Newport, with access to the 'big city' and its attractions. A great base camp for exploring the lighthouses, downtown and the aquarium.

The park itself is treed, and most of the sites have a bit of space around them. For a park of its size and how packed in the sites are, it had a bit more of a relaxed feeling. We came for 2 nights, and ended up extending for 3 more to explore the area from. In the off season, they shut down the back loops but open them up as sites fill in.

Walking trails to the beach are pretty decent, and it is a bit of a walk. There's an onsite frisbee golf course that is pretty run down.

We had great Verizon and AT&T signal here.

Washoe Lake State Park Campground

Beautiful and Convenient Location

Located just north of Carson City, and a bit further to Reno - this is a great location to base camp and have access to big city amenities.

All of the sites are well spaced, offering good bits of privacy and view.

The sites are $17 a night, and are all dry camping – no hook-ups. There is a dump station onsite, and water spigots throughout the campground.

We had excellent LTE coverage on both AT&T and Verizon.

Bastendorff Beach Park Campground

A Delightful Surprise!

This county run park has spacious wooded sites, water & electric hook-ups, onsite dump station and magnificent views of the ocean. It's also nicely located to explore the towns of Chesterton and Coos Bay, as well as Cape Arago Lighthouse, Shoreacres and Sunset Beach.

And as a super bonus, you can actually get usable AT&T and Verizon signal here.

The park now does have online reservation, but they cost an extra $11 to make. We stayed in October, and the park was pretty empty - it was no problem to show up and get a great spot.

Bullards Beach State Park Campground

Bustling Campground

If you're looking for a quiet and peaceful state park experience, you might want to pass on this park. It's a very busy and popular park, and the sites are a bit close together. With the abundant boating nearby, a lot of campers bring their large RV, their tow/toad and a boat - and in already small sites - the loops can feel pretty packed in. When booking a site, make sure it can fit both your RV and any other vehicles - as the sites are pretty short. We had trouble squeezing our 35' motorhome and Mini Cooper into our site designated for 37' RVs.

A & B loops are definitely larger sites, with more separation between them with vegetation. C loop, where we got assigned, are more open and on top of each other. It was definitely a step above the commercial RV Park options in Bandon, but not the serene state park feel we enjoy.

We stayed in early October, and their websites said most sites were first come first serve. Upon arrival, the line was several RVs deep to check in - and very limited options even at 1pm.

The surrounding area is lovely - there's a trail down to the beach (about 1.5 miles away) and Coquille River Lighthouse is on site as well. It's not an active light, but tours are given every day from 11a - 5p by volunteers.

We did have great Verizon and AT&T 4G reception, and the town of Bandon is just a couple miles away.

Crystal Crane Hot Springs RV Park

Hot Springs? Campground? Genius!

The campground is a bit barebones... most spots are just pull throughs in a parking lot with electric/water hook-ups.

But as the sign says - 'It's about the water'

The hot springs pond is big and wonderful. Campers get 24/7 access to it, and there's nothing like taking a late night soak under the stars!

This place is well worth routing towards.

Mountain View RV Park

Friendly Staff, Well maintained

The owners just recently bought the park, and have done a great job with it! The sites are fairly spacious and level, with lots of grass in between them - most sites have trees. Beautiful views all around of mountains, and easy drive into Craters of the Moon.

There's a cafe on site, which was delicious. We also played a round of mini-golf to pass the time.

We had solid AT&T and Verizon signal, and remarkably - the WiFi was usable!

Theodore Roosevelt NP-South Unit (Cottonwood Campground)

Absolutely Lovely!

Such a beautiful campground that is easily accessible from I-94 and the little town of Medora. $10 entrance fee to get in the park (or use your national park pass), then a 5 mile drive to the campground. The road was under construction during our visit, but was easily passible.

The campground is all first come first serve. If you have a larger unit, go to the pull-thru side at the Y. The back-in section didn't seem to have spots that would fit anything larger than about 22-25' max. But there are some huge & lovely spots in the other section. Arrive by mid afternoon on most days, and you should be able to snag a spot. During our 4 days in the park, all sites were pretty much taken by late afternoon.

Decent cell service for both AT&T and Verizon.

Kreher RV Park

Beautiful Park!

What a gem of a park! We love that it's along the shores of Lake Superior with the hike & bike trail running through it to give you access to the entire city on foot.

The entire campground is first come first serve, with no reservations. We arrived mid afternoon and there was still about 3 spots left - so be sure to keep this in mind when planning your arrival.

Some of the sites are right on the water, but most are situated to at least have a view. All very spacious and level, with water and electric hook-ups. Dump station on site.

Presently, there is a Superfund clean up site project happening 7 days a week at the facility next door, so there is some construction noise during the day. It wasn't too bad however, and easy to tune out.

Excellent AT&T and Verizon 4G signals here. There was a WiFi network present, but we never figured out where to get the password from.

Castle Rock Mackinac Trail Campark

Jul 2014

What a Gem!

While this park is a privately owned park, it feels a bit more like a state park. Many of the sites are heavily wooded and private feeling. And many of them have fabulous lakefront views of Mackinaw Island.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay here. Excellent, attentive and friendly staff. Well maintained and private feeling sites.

The only downsides are some of the advertised amenities - like WiFi and a pool. The WiFi is currently provided by a cheap router only in the FHU area at the top of the park. And the pool is actually located at a motel property the owners also own in town. And the beach is a bit overgrown and not as sandy as you might expect.

Otherwise, the park is fabulous. Great views. Trails to explore. And the bathhouses were spic-span clean. It's super close to Castle Rock, which is a great value of $1 to climb for a great view, and just a quick ride into the downtown of St. Ignace. And on Saturday evenings during the summer, you get a great view of the town's fireworks right from the campground!

The WiFi sucked, but we had boostable 4G for both Verizon and AT&T.

Cheboygan State Park

Decent, but really not much here

Our last stop along our Sunrise Coast exploration took us to Chebyogan State Park. It is down a dirt road, which isn't too bad. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, letting us go check out available sites. The sites along the lake are pretty secluded feeling, but most of the others are not. We did find one that had some trees in the back to give us some privacy.

All and all tho, there's not much to do here. The hiking trails through the woods are absolutely swarming with mosquitos that made it miserable to hike. We did go out to the point, and decided to scrimmage back to the campground along open lands and wading through marshland. Sure beat the mosquitos!

Cute little park, but 2 nights was enough for us here.
