A Brand New High End RV Park

Most recent stay was 07/02/16 (I ‘m late in posting my review) and 1st impression is WOW! We camp in a Little Rig “Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

We were close to restroom/shower building but was disappointed with layout for a brand new park; only 1 shower stall designed, sized and outfitted for ADA and there was a waiting line to use it. Of course all modern fixtures fiberglass shower stall, tiled floors, fresh painted walls, granite sink counter top etc. Roomy changing area with a bench for seating and rubber floor mat for feet when exit shower. No hooks or shelves for your stuff – none either at community sink area but did have paper towels to help clean up area after use.

This definitely is an RV Park – not a campground ~ did not see any tents or dinning canopies. Very new facility just completed 2nd restroom/shower facility at back of park ~ asphalt roadways, cement sidewalks and rv pads; young baby trees so no shade[yet] w/all FUH sites. Lots of space between sites not crowded at all – overall park is well planned and laid out; can handle any size rig w/o problems. Regardless of all the positives – this it is still very expensive $88.00 night and we won’t be back because of price ~ actually overpriced when comparing others and really out of our price range.

Sleepy Hollow RV Park & Campground

“Easy access off I-80 east from and west "

Most recent stay was 6/30/16 - I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

It is a favorite overnight stop on I-80 W & E between OR and WI ~we’ve been here several times, BUT it’s an older campground in need of some TLC ~ especially gravel roadway @ entrance (office) that goes down the hill to the interior roads which are full of ruts ~ all they need is some new gravel. [the inner gravel roads are fine]

Then there's the restroom/showers; a trip to local Home Depot in Iowa City for some paint, updated fixtures, new shower mats for the floor, new shower curtains, add hooks and shelving in the sink/vanity area for your things, and add paper towels that most campers would use to "clean up" (wipe down) their sink area after their use, but w/o them there's no way to do it and that area gets messy (they do clean the restrooms) . . .but still; and we give them credit because the grounds keeper is on site keeping things around camp tidy

There is little air movement inside even though there is a large fan/blower at the one end; it's not effective making it "stuffy" inside.

So for all my suggested remarks my rating is a 3 . . . because it's all related to improving conveniences since the rest of the park is very functional. Yes it's true some sites are on a small hill making leveling inconvenient, but you can always ask to move; after all this IS a campground and not billed as a 5 star resort with cement pads and patio's . . .after all. There’s lots of grass and shady trees so campers with all amenities in their RV’s would love it here. We will be back again and again and would upgrade our rate to a 5 star if they made the simple improvements.

Grand Island KOA

2 mi off I-80 NO traffic noise HOORAY

Most recent stay was 6/17/16 - I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a Little Rig “Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area.

1st impression this is nice – a welcomed site after hours on the road next to cornfield with sites amongst the trees for shade & green grass. But then close up this is a typical KOA with very narrow close together sites packed together like a can of sardines RV park style with gravel pads and roadways. We had a picnic table but strip of grass was very narrow sandwiched between neighbor RV’s. There are many cabins for rent and a nice separate grassy area for tenter’s; all close to the restroom/showers ~ as were we. So placement of that building was ideally situated. Nice swimming pool area plus overall the grounds are clean and well maintained it shows they care.

The building held 6 individual unisex restroom/shower rooms. Down the hall on one side were 3 ea private shower rooms, opposite side were 3 ea private restrooms with a toilet and sink. At one end was an ADA shower/restroom combined. All were modern and clean. Shower rooms had hooks for clothes/towels, wall bench, and rubber floor mat for wet feet. Missing was a shelf for your toiletries stuff. Only NEGATIVE was Lack Of Adequate Ventilation; nonexistent and it got very stuffy in there. Trying to towel off dry was a joke! If you open the door a crack to get air, you’re exposed to next person in hallway waiting in line. Restrooms had paper towels so you could clean up your area after and a shelf for toiletries – very thoughtful, but no hooks for towel and clothes. Same ventilation problem.

Note: there is a 2nd restroom/shower facility connected to the office building; the ventilation is so much better.

Grand Canyon Railway RV Park

BIG RIG RV PARK little rigs ok

Most recent stay was 05-05-16 [I’m late with submitting my review] ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area. Lots of pictures already of general RV Park + the sites, so I’ll focus on the restroom.

PROS there is a solid picnic table at your site to use. Facility is newer and modern and all sites level with full hookups. Restroom/shower/laundry fully tiled floors and walls and up to date, with roomy private shower stalls + includes separate changing area with wall mounted bench and plenty of wall hooks for your stuff. Hot water and good pressure. Sink/vanity area is roomy and also modern. Convenient to Grand Canyon National Park and close to town for shopping needs.

CONS narrow “green-belt” strip between sites with no privacy. Strip too narrow, could not set up our dinning fly over the picnic table, no place to anchor tie down straps to keep it up (very windy during our stay), and could not cook outdoors with camp stove. Faucets at sink/vanity area are automatic push button with slow no low pressure spray similar to what you might find in restaurant restroom, not convenient for normal bathroom use. No wall hooks or wall shelves for your stuff – gotta place on floor top of vanity which can be wet and messy. Glad they had paper towels for that.
