Utah Lake State Park

5
Apr 2011

Love State Parks

Very close to Provo and less than an hour to downtown SLC. Talked to campground host once. Nice older gentleman.

Right on Lake Utah, the largest fresh water lake in Utah. Lots of trees around. We camped right next to a marsh. Not many bugs this time of the year, but there might be more in warmer months. We saw tons of birds including pheasant, killdeer, amazing magpies, yellow-headed blackbirds, coots, herons, geese, grebes, ducks, California quail, robins and other songbirds. The sounds from the marsh were a symphony of calls and cackles. Check out the video below to hear some of the calls of nature. We paid $20 a night for partial hook-ups, water and electric, pull-through site.

Bathrooms - New and clean but out of TP a few times. Showers were hot but tight for changing and made for folks under 5'7" You really can't compare RV Parks with State Parks. State Parks are generally so much roomier.

Small playground, beach, boat rentals, fishing. State Park clean. Dump, picnic table with shelter, grill and fire pit at each site. We really enjoyed our stay here. Really nicer than an RV Park.

Red Ledge RV Park

3
Apr 2011

Spent Easter Sunday here

Found a nice park that is part of Passport America close to Zion and Bryce Canyon. Red Ledge RV Park and Campground was also our home for Easter this year.

An hour from Zion NP and two hours from Bryce Canyon NP. Several state parks close by as well. We met one lady, the owner of this small park. Very helpful and nice.

Natural surroundings - Some trees scattered around the park. In the very small town of Kannarville. We paid $14.33 a night for full hook-ups, back-in site. We used our Passport America card. we did pay full price the first night (park policy).

Bathrooms are Slightly older but clean. Showers went from hot to cold if someone used water somewhere. Roominess - Barely long enough decent amount of room between sites.

Hot tub and communal fire ring. Picnic tables at each site. Nice public park across the street. Small and older but still a tidy park. Laundry, very small store, small exchange library. Cute little park near Cedar City attractions.

Sparks Marina RV Park

Apr 2011

Very nice staff

Waiting out some bad weather we stayed near Reno, in the city of Sparks at the River's Edge RV Park. Close to Tahoe and Reno.

Staff was very helpful and nice people working at this RV park. Next to a river, but also close to I80.

We paid $35 a night for full hook-ups, pull-through site with cable. We situated right on a culvert though, which was OK, except it made it more difficult to get our car on the tow dolly.

Bathrooms were clean and big and nice hot and roomy showers. Passcode protected. Site was long enough and plenty of room to park van next to us.

Pool was closed - it snowed while we were there. City park next door. Above average park in cleanliness. Laundry, small store, propane, exchange library, free coffee. Nice, clean stay close to Reno.

Comstock Country RV Resort

Close to Tahoe and Reno

Named after my long ago relations, Comstock RV Resort in Carson City was a place to stay while we did laundry, went shopping and planned our route.

Close to Tahoe, Reno and Virginia City. A few things to do in the capital of Nevada. Staff was very helpful and nice people run this park.

Some trees in the park, and some mountains nearby. Next to a casino and Costco. We paid $35 a night for full hook-ups, pull-through site with cable.

Bathrooms were clean and big and nice hot and roomy showers. Key protected, need $5 deposit. Site was long enough but tight fit for our van in front of RV.

Pool and hot tub were both closed - it snowed while we were there. Game room here as well. It an above average park in cleanliness. Laundry, large store, propane, exchange library.
Nice, clean stay in Carson city, NV.

Tyler State Park

Apr 2011

Had fun in the fall

Lots to do here including free fishing without license. Nice playground and small beach area. Boat rentals and lots of hiking. Kids rode bikes and scooters everywhere.

Dump station, but they also have full hook-ups so no need to use it. Little store site. Not a lot to do in Tyler from what we could see. Staff were polite and average in helpful department.

Lots of trees, and great little lake and some wildlife. Huge central area between campsites, not very crowded at all. We paid $26 a night. This included $3 a day for park passes for each adult

Pin Oak Creek RV Park & CG

3
Apr 2011

Close to Six Flags St. Louis

We needed a an RV park close to St Louis so we picked Pin Oak RV Park. There were no Passport America parks close enough for us.

Bathrooms were clean but outdated, the showers were warm!

They have a pond for fishing, mini-putt and a pool (closed in late Sept).
Dump station, laundry facility, camp store, full-hook-ups, propane.

St. Louis is a half-hour away, six flags 15 minutes. Camp hosts were great. Guy cleaning the bathroom was too. Shaded with trees and a nice pond.

Normal size pull-through sites, not crowded during a September week day. We paid $37 a night for full hook-up.

Cal Expo RV Park

Apr 2011

Cat lovers paradise

On our way to Marysville to visit my dad and step mom we stopped at Cal Expo RV Park in Sacramento. A unique spot. Near an and all Sacramento attractions.

Staff - Nice and friendly folks. Trees surround park, but inside park it feels more like a parking lot. Very bright street lights shine into your rig.

We paid $35 a night for full hook-ups, pull-through site.

Bathrooms were clean and secure, but you have to leave a $10 cash deposit for key.

Site was Long enough and wide enough to park your toadie next to you. Didn't see much to do in the park, but our boys loved the petting the dozen or so ferile cats living at the park.

A well-kept park. Laundry, exchange library, small store. Clean place to stay if you like cats. Bring your sleep masks for the bright lights.

Virginia City RV Park

RV in the old west

Some trees in the park, but you have beautiful views of mountains all around you.
We paid $37.50 a night for full hook-ups, pull-through site with cable.
Bathrooms were clean and big and nice hot showers. Key pad protected. Site was long enough but tight fit for our van in front of RV.

Didn't see much to do in the park, but there is a park with a playground and pool across the street. It was pretty clean but the garbage bin was stuffed and overflowing and smelly.

Laundry, large store, restaurant that serves breakfast. I liked staying here, but my wife did not like the steep roads we had to drive to get here.

Paradise Camping Resort

Stayed during their trick or treat night

Bathrooms - were clean, but the showers were cold, small and little stream of water.

Beach on a pond, Kishwaukee river flows through edge of campground, fishing ponds as well, old playground equipment. they had lots of activities too.

Dump station, very small camp store, no laundry facility. Rockford and Chicago are close by. Edward's Apple Orchard is close too. Pretty friendly folks, loved the trick or treat.

Nice shade trees and ponds, but close to a railroad, with short trains even at night..

It was a large campground, but it was extremely busy with a huge portion dedicated to long term campers.
We paid $37 a night with only grey water sewer no wifi. No club discounts on weekends, but it is a Passport America campground during the week.

Loved Holland

Cleanliness - average.

Bathrooms were clean, but outdated. Had a pool and old playground equipment. Dump station, laundry facility, wood delivered to your site.

Holland has some nice stuff to do and some nice beaches and a lighthouse. Met three staff. Two were great and one was a dork. Nice shade trees, but close to a busy highway.

The sites were pretty decent and the campground was ot crowded on a great weekend. We paid $34 a night with no sewer or wifi. No club discounts.
