Our reviews of the RV parks/resorts we have experienced

A three day stay very close to Jacksonville on our way to Orlando. Woodalls rated 5 W's and I might agree if it wasn't located right on the landing path of the Jacsonville International Airport. Otherwise, nicely laid out with 70 foot level, concrete pads. Sites are 40 feet wide so we have a little more space than usual.

Standard price of $42/night is OK for the quality. They also take Good Sam as well as Passport America at 50% off per night. Were members so $21/night is a real bargain! http://www.pecanparkrvresort.com/index.php

Stayed here when visiting Savannah because it was the closest to the city (about 15 miles) and Woodalls rated it 3 W's, the highest in the area. It is one W too high and surely not a "resort." Location is convenient but facilities are old, not well maintained, sites not level and average price. Staff was friendly. Nice store with a gas staion which is unusual.

BTW, website is awful http://www.savannahoaks.net/

Otherwise, Savannah is a great city to visit. Little known fact: Port has the highest volume of shipping in North America.

Traveling up the California, Oregon and Washington coast on HWY 101 this spring. Four Seasons RV Resort is our first stop in Oregon and what a pleasant surprise. A small park with what appears a few semi-permanent residents but has about a half dozen pull-in sites right on the Bank of the Rogue River. Four Seasons is about 8 miles up the river from Gold Beach. Here's my Facebook post:

Another rainy day on the Oregon coast. We may extend our stay another couple of days (forecast fair and sunny) overlooking the Rogue River. Very relaxing to hear the rushing sound of the river and watching for wildlife. Not in a hurry to go anywhere. What could be better?

After two full years of travel around the US we have stayed in RV Parks resembling dingy, old motels to the Ritz Carlton of all RV Resorts and everything in between. Our criteria includes:

• Cleanliness
• Level asphalt or cement pads
• Maintenance
• Landscape
  
• Location
  
• Amenities
• Views
• Price

We extended our stay in the Pensacola area for another week because of a Motor Coach windshield replacement and some emergency dental work for Pam. We moved to this RV park to be closer to downtown Pensacola. I found it doing a Google search on "RV Parks near Pensacola, FL. This one was convenient, had a good review and very economical. New having opened only a year ago.

What a surprise. Clean, uncluttered, nicely manicured, close to Interstate 10 (but far enough away to be quiet) and extremely friendly and helpful owners. I would recommend it for anyone.

Rating: 7.5 (out of 10)
Cost: $      ($ = inexpensive, $$$$$ = pricey)
Members of Good Sam
Weekly rate is $211 ($28/day plus tax).

Before leaving Atlanta I searched for an RV park about halfway to Mobile as I really don't like to drive for more than 3 to 4 hours. I found this one and had no idea what we would find. What a surprise!!

Paved roads, grassy areas between sites, full hookups with 50 amp service, concrete paved site pads, great Verizon reception with broadband, DirecTV access, very picturesque and very clean. The park belongs to the city and they maintain it beautifully. And, with Good Sam it is only $25/night!!!

Rating: 8.5

Cost: $      (one $ = cheap, five $ = pricey)

Bar Harbor Campground is the closest to the town of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The features include paved roads, swimming pool, laundry and strategically located restrooms. There are a few full hookup sites overlooking the ocean. The overall facility is rather old not necessarily well kept. Although, it is generally clean. (Continue reading for Google Map)

The unusual feature is "no reservations." First come, first served, pick your site, get settled then go register. Want to stay longer? No worry. just go pay for more days. Full hookup runs $38/day, moderately priced for the area. Other parks in the area go for $60/night and up.

We struggled with Verizon cell coverage and the PC air card was intermittent. The wi-fi was wi-iffy, very poor reliability operating on the "b" standard.

Rating (0 to 10 scale):  5.0

Very nice place to stay between Kennebunkport to the north and York Harbor to the south. The population of the coastal towns explode during the summer. We went for an exploratory drive yesterday and the traffic was bumper to bumper. The economy appears to be alive and well.

We're parked under an abundance of pine trees so we can't see the DirecTV satelitte. Good thing cable is provided. Verizon distributes good to excellent digital service.

Next stop: Bar Harbor, ME. Lobster.
