Twin Lakes

Twin Lakes RV is moderate-sized park with level gravel pads & patios, with some sites adjacent to lake, which has a large under-water fountain (lighted @ nite). If I had had a longer electric cord connection, I could have headed into site, thereby providing a lovely view of lake & fountain. Abundant water fowl, including Canadian Geese. Sites adjacent to lake have no trees, allowing roof-top satellite reception; remainder of sites are shaded. About ¾ appear to be permanent or long-term residents, has 50a + water, no cable, & no sewer connections, but have dump site. Do not take credit or debit; accept cash or check. Quiet & peaceful during our stay; fishing allowed in lake.

Blacktop interior roads with mostly gravel pads, small cement patios, and picnic tables. Some all grass sites. Has shuffle board & small kids playground. At $87/nite with tax, way overpriced, but otherwise, o.k. place to spend the night. About 30 minute drive to downtown Naples.

Rainbow Springs State Park

Lovely park, full services, many sites shaded, large spaces w gravel pads & patio, many sites separated by large shrubbery, paved within-park roads, friendly staff, small convenience store @ ranger station. Entrance to “Headwaters” section of park is about 4 miles from entrance to camping sites with different address, so if using GPS to locate, make sure have correct address. Excellent camp ground if you can snag a site. Unable to access DirecTV from our site.

Cajun RV Park

Medium sized park, about 1/3 were gravel pads & patios, 2/3 w grass with some gravel. Many sites had shade. Has 50Amp, cable, & full service. Gulf coast beach is across the 4-lane road leading to park. Quite adequate park. About a block from Jeff Davis museum, which won't be re-opened until mid-May at earliest. Also plenty of casinos in area, if that's your thing. Cost: $37.50 with tax.

Peaceful Pines

Stayed here 2 nights; does not seem to be many choices for RV parks in this interesting historical area. Trailer Life reviewer must have had a sense of humor when s/he gave this park an 8.5 rating. My RV pad are gravel, grass, & dirt, which was messy after it rained. Has small pond, ducks, lots of dogs, mostly long-term residents who seemed very friendly. Owner/manager lives on site and was friendly and helpful. Does have 30/50 amps, no cable and trees block roof-top satellite antennae. Adequate place for few day stop-over, but not a 5-star resort.

Pricey, but excellent & convenient location

This is probably the most expensive park I've ever stayed in (~$90/day w Good Sam discount), but also, one of the best. About 5 blocks from middle of French Quarter (easy walk), all hard surface pads & patios, patches of grass, friendly & helpful staff, pet friendly, and has evening security.

o.k. stay-over

This is quite adequate place for stopping point on the long trip across Wesr Texas. It's a former KOA franchised site, somewhat past its prime, but has basic amenities.
