While we were in Vicksburg, MS. for a few days, we stayed here. Although it is part of the local casino, it is far enough away, that you can't even 'see' the gamblers or hear the cha-ching of their winnings! HA!
Price -$23/night for full hook ups
Amenities - they do have a small, but clean laundry and tv room. Other than that, it is a safe, clean park to stay in the area.
If we can make it back to see Vicksburg National Park, this is where we would stay.
Blessings,
Steph

Rainbow Plantation - Campground Review
While we stayed in Summerdale, Al., we enjoyed our time at this campground. We are Escapee members, so any time we know that there is a campground in an area that we want to visit, we definitely take advantage of their wonderful facilities.
The location was perfect for visiting the USS Alabama in Mobile and Lambert's cafe, too. :)
Price -$16/night plus a couple of dollars electricity per night
Amenities - They have large sites, GREAT laundry for only $0.75/load!!!!, and a large dining/activity center. The people, as usual, were so friendly and welcoming, too. :)
We LOVE Escapees campgrounds! We would definitely return.

Bayou Segnette State Park, Westwego, LA. - Campground Review
We stayed at Bayou Segnette for 6 days, while visiting the New Orleans area. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this park! Although, there are no full hook-ups, it is THE PLACE to stay. ;)
Price -$26/night for electric and water and a dump station (in the winter, it is less $$)
Amenities - HUGE sites, trails, free laundry (although the machines were broke :( ), a water park, and only 20 minutes from the Algiers Ferry (which is free), that takes you to Canal Street in New Orleans.
We felt safe here, and it was a quiet, clean place to stay. I would definitely stay here again, if we were in the area.

Audubon Acres RV Park, Abbeville, LA. - Campground Review
If you want to visit Avery Island in Louisiana, then you need to stay at Audubon Acres! The owner is so helpful and kind, and just so genuine. It is a very small rv park, but on private property, in the country. We felt very safe and liked the simplicity of the park, compared to the busy, traffic-filled city parks.
Price - $10/ night for full hook-ups, using our Passport America discount! Love it!
Amenities - none, except a huge field for the kids to play. ;)
We would definitely stay here again! Tell Joe we sent you. :)

Eagles Landing RV Park, Holt, FL. - Campground Review
While we were visiting the Pensacola area, we stayed in Holt, FL., about 45 minutes away, at this nice campground.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Although it was not our first choice, (the state park was full) :) we enjoyed our time here.
Price- $160 for a week with full hook ups
Amenities- A very small bath room, no shower house and a small laundry room. It is a 'no frills' park, but that was ok with us. I did use the laundry facility; which worked great.
If we were in the area, we would probably try to get into the state park again, but this park is a nice
'Plan B." :)

Sunshine Travel RV Resort - Campground Review
Last week, we had a restful week in Vero Beach, FL., at this great Rv Park. After Zach's accident, we decided to stay put, rest, catch up on stuff and get at on of school work done.
Tanner made $300 this week, at this RV Park, washing RV's! He was SO excited, and it felt good for him to work hard. (He is SO happy after a good work out) :)
I took Hannah, Emily and Parker swimming almost everyday and soaked in the sunshine. :) We also hit all the Thrift Stores in town one day, while Zach stayed home and kept his foot up. One of the great 'finds' was some crutches for only $3!!!
I LOVE THRIFT STORES! You just never know what you will find at such a great price.
Sunshine Travel is a great RV park. Their property is SPOTLESS. Their staff is very friendly and helpful. When they saw the size of our rig, they gave us a huge site, right next to the pool and Lodge.
Price - $99/week + plus taxes and fees = $120/week
Amenities - Beautiful pool, HUGE, clean laundry facility with 10 washers and 10 dryers! Very nice, private, and clean bathhouse. They have an active community there, so there were people involved in all kinds of horseshoe tournaments, meals, kayak trips, etc.... They also had a fun putt-putt course, too.
We would definitely come back here with the $99/week deal. They had a "Special" for Thousand Trails' members during the months of December - March, and I am glad we took advantage of it. :)

Jolly Roger Travel Park - Campground Review
Visiting the Keys of Florida can be a little tricky. If you are SUPER organized and a great planner, then make a reservation about a YEAR in advance, so you can stay at one of the wonderful state parks. ;)
If you like to 'roll with it' like me, then you will want to stay somewhere like Jolly Roger!
Another tricky part, is the cost, and the proximity to grocery stores, or tourist attractions. Just budget plenty of extra cash for lodging, gas and a day or two of fun, and you can enjoy your time. I also recommend that you go grocery shopping BEFORE you enter the Keys of Florida.
So, for 3 days, we went to the beach, Mallory Square, the MOST Southern Point and Hemingway's home. If you are on a budget, 3 days is plenty to fit it all in with out stretching your sanity!
Price - $35/night PLUS extra fees for kids and tax = $50/night WITH A PASSPORT AMERICA (50%) DISCOUNT!!!
Amenities - This is a large park, but the sites were a little crowded. Todd, with his excellent driving skills, was able to fit into our spot, but it may be tight for other big rigs. There is a laundry and bathhouse, but we did not use them. (The bathrooms have curtains instead of doors.....a little risky for me and my kiddos!) ;)
There is also a beautiful pier, deck and swimming beach in the back of the park. We also enjoyed the heated pool.
I thought the location was perfect for visiting the Keys. From the Everglades, it only took over an hour to get there, and it was not crazy-busy with traffic, like it is further south (over an hour) in Key West.
If we ever visit the Keys in the future, I will definitely reserve a beautiful, ocean-view, state park site! Jolly Roger was a good second choice though.

Steph

Pioneer Village RV Park - Campground Review
When we were in North Fort Myers, we stayed a week at this campground.
It was a great location for visiting the Sanibel Islands and Fort Myers area.
Price - $120/week
Amenities - Great, heated pool and hot tub, pool tables, library and recreation hall, older bath house, and really nice laundry
It was a nice place to stay for the area, but it was extremely tight to fit our BIG rig in there. Todd is an "expert" driver, and managed to fit right in, but I don't know if I would stay again, because of the size of our rv.

Big Cypress National Park!
We stayed in Midway campground, in Big Cypress, for a couple of days, to see the alligators. It was such a great place to stay to see this area! With our National Park pass, it was only $10/night, including electricity, fresh water to fill your tanks and a dump station. There is also a pond in the middle of the campground with a couple of resident alligators.
Just down the road, is this Visitor's center.....
Boy, oh, boy! Did we see the alligators!!
Just outside the center, is this 'pond' with at least 20-30 alligators!
They were swimming, sunning, sleeping, and smiling. :)
It was just fascinating to see them, in their habitat, living life. They were HUGE!
Did YOU know that an alligator's brain is the size of a walnut?! Poor thing.
YEAH! Golden gang!!
They earned another badge!

Steph

Peace River Thousand Trails - Campground Review
In Wauchula, FL., we stayed at this campground for 2 weeks. Along with our friends, the Harper's and the Haigood's, there were a few grumpy folks, but MORE, much MORE friendly folks!
Wauchula is out in the country, with a Walmart, and few other 'main' attractions, but honestly, it is out in the middle of no where! HA! However, with that said, they have done a fantastic job coordinating all kinds of activities; including musical performances, ceramics, crafts, magicians, pickle-ball tournaments, water aerobics and more. Their pool and hot tub was SOOO warm, that we had to get out to cool off on some days! :)
Price - $3/n for 2 weeks
Amenities - renovated bath houses, nice laundry facilities, pool, hot tub, playground, pool tables, pickle ball courts, and the Peace River in the back, where you can hunt for their resident alligators.
You just can't beat the price of the Thousand Trails' parks! Even if they might be a little out of the way, it is such a great place to 'rest' and save money.
Blessings,
Steph

Vacation Village RV Park- Campground Review
We stayed at this RV park for a week, in Largo, FL. It is a little comical, because, they assigned us one of their "Elite" sites, however, I'm not sure WHY it was "Elite?" ;)
The overall experience was o.k, but our company (the Harper family) made it MUCH more bearable.
With that said, though, the staff was very friendly, and you can tell that they are trying really hard to make this a great rv park. The pool was beautiful and warm, and the newly renovated bathhouse was nice, too.
Price- $120/week (with our Thousand Trails membership)
Amenities - full hook-ups, pool, pool tables, volleyball, bath house.
The location is just perfect. You are less than 20 minutes to many different beaches and the city of Tampa.
Blessings,
Steph

Orlando Thousand Trails Campground- Campground Review
For two weeks, we stayed at the campground in Clermont, FL. It is a perfect location to visit Orlando and all the Disney attractions. So far, this is my absolute FAVORITE Thousand Trails campground!
Price- $3/night for 2 weeks! LOVE IT!
Amenities- 2 heated pools, hot tub, tennis & pickle ball courts, putt-putt golf, bowling, shuffle board, gameroom with air hockey, and pool tables, concession/food court, weight room......
Do you get the idea?!!!! This place has it ALL.
The sites are of differing sizes, so depending on where you are, you could have a smallish site, or a really huge, spacious site. There are around 800 sites at the campground, so the park is ENORMOUS. They offer 30 or 50 amp, too.
The bath houses were a little dated, but cleaned regularly and the laundry room was in great condition, too. :)
We would definitely stay here again, in fact, we are planning on it when we visit Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios!! Can't wait! :)

Steph

Sumter Oaks RV Park - Campground Review
While we were in Bushnell, FL., for about a week, we stayed at Sumter Oaks, which is an Escapee park. We really enjoyed our stay here. The people were SO sweet! On three different days, a "Secret Elf" dropped off a Christmas surprise on our steps. :) AWESOME!
Price - $18/ night (includes full hook ups, cable and wifi
Amenities - heated INDOOR pool! Bonus! Big Lodge with pool tables, craft room, sewing room, tv room and affordable laundry and more.
We would definitely stay here again! The escapee members are just great, welcoming, helpful people, and they always take care of the campgrounds.

Thomas Hardeeville RV Park - Campground Review
If you want to visit Savannah, GA., then you should stay here!! It is a great location. You are only 15 minutes to Tybee Island or downtown Savannah. :) Technically, you are in South Carolina, but the border is only a few minutes away.
Price - $21/night -includes tax, cable, wifi, and full hook-ups! (with Passport America membership)
Amenities - cable, wifi and a laundry, but I did not use it while we were here. You also need to be 'self-contained' because there is not a bathhouse.
We felt safe here, the grounds are well kept and the sites were pretty level. We would definitely stay here again, if we are in the area. You can not beat the price!

The Oaks at Point South - Campground Review
While we visited North Charleston, Beaufort and Parris Island, we stayed at this Thousand Trails park for 2 weeks in Yemassee, SC. It was right off the freeway, but set back in the woods, so it was very quiet. It felt as if we were camping in the woods, surrounded by moss-covered live-oak trees. I also thought it was pretty nice, because it is relatively small.
Price -$3/night
Amenities -the bath house was clean, and the laundry was cheap and worked great! There is a small game room and gathering room, too.
Staff -they were so friendly and helpful
The only downer about the campground, is its location. Everything is at least 30 minutes away, but with our membership price of $3/n, it was worth the stay.

Huntington Beach State Park - Campground Review
Our time at this state park, was a mixed bag. :)
After the lovely experience of a Daddy-Long-Leg spider crawling on my hiney, while I was going to the restroom.....YEP. You read that right....... I thought it was going to be a LONG week.
At this campground, there are very few full hook-up sights, so we ended up with a water/electric sight, which means, that we had to use the campground's bathhouse. There are 3 in the entire area, but the one right next to our sight was AWFUL. It was like stepping into a Daddy-Long -Leg DEN! AWFUL!
It just so happened, that Hannah and Emily found a BEAUTIFUL, SPARKLING clean bathhouse at the front of the park! YEAH! We were saved!
Now, to the park's defense, after I complained, very sweetly, they sent someone out and did their best to fix the situation in the 'spider den.' But, in my humble opinion, they just need to burn the place, and rebuild. ;)
Our stay was a wonderful experience overall! The beach is only a few yards away, the sites are HUGE, and the staff was great.
Price- $30/night for a water/electric sight
Amenities- the Atlantic Ocean only steps away! Make sure you use the front bathhouse, walking trails, fire rings and picnic tables
Staff- really helpful and worked hard to keep the campers happy
We would definitely stay here again. It is so close to Myrtle Beach, with out all the 'hub-bub.'
Blessings,
Steph

Hagan-Stone Park - Campground Review
While we were enjoying our 'pleasant' stay in Pleasant Garden, NC., we stayed at this little RV Park.
Price - $20/night (water & electric) and a dump station.
Amenities - There is a wonderful playground, trails and that small town feeling. :) Also, in the community park, there is a HUGE playground for all ages, even handicap kids, too!
Staff- The staff were really nice, and check in was a piece of cake.
My only complaint is the bath/shower house. It was so old and dirty. It was also BUGGY! The first night we were there, I had a shower with 4 beetles and had to kill a spider. EEeewwww!
I literally waited 3 days before my next shower. I just couldn't do it.
The campground was clean, and we felt very safe. If they put in FULL hook-ups and modern bathrooms, it would be PERFECT. So, as long as you can use your own shower for your time there, I would definitely recommend it. Otherwise, just make sure you bring a fly-swatter to the shower!

Birchwood RV Park - Campground Review
Well, when we visited Durham, NC., we found out REAL quick, that there are not many options. :(
It is not the safest location in North Carolina either. :(
However, we were able to stay here for one night......with out incident. :)
(Although, the day we were packing to leave, we did notice the police patrolling the area, driving really fast, slowing down, and scanning the park......just saying......)
Price - $30/n for full hookups, and they GOTCHA because it is the ONLY place to camp!
Amenities - none that I am aware of, and did not take the time to locate them. :)
I would not go back here again. I would DEFINITELY stay in Mebane, NC. and take a day trip to the Durham area next time!
Life sure has its adventures!

Green Mountain Park - Campground Review
Our first campground in North Carolina was Green Mountain. It is part of our Thousand Trails membership, so we decided to stay for 2 weeks. While we were here, we went thrift store shopping, played putt-putt and hung out around the campground most of the time.
Price - $3/night (just can't beat that!)
Amenities - right now, everything is pretty much shut down for the fall and winter, however, I think it would be MUCH more fun and lively in the summer time. There is a small pool, putt-putt, trails and a small pond with row boats.
Staff - they were fine. (not overly friendly, but certainly not rude)
We had full hook ups, so we used our own shower/bathroom, which is good, because the campground's shower house was old and dated. I saw the staff cleaning it daily, but it still looks so worn down.
Also, if you stay here, beware of the HUGE hills! Stay in the lower section close to the main office! :)

Bear Cove Resort - Campground Review
While we were in Pigeon Forge, TN., we stayed at Bear Cove RV Park for a MONTH!
It was a great place that soon became home. :) Their nightly rates are a little high, and even their weekly rates are out of our league, but their monthly rate of $550 was TOTALLY acceptable. And worth it!
We had the perfect site, located right in front of the pool, laundry and bathhouse.
Just a few steps away, and we are swimmin'!
The staff was also cleaning the pool, cleaning the bathrooms and mowing or trimming every single day.
The bath house had 3 private bathrooms for women and 3 private bathrooms for men. Aren't these cute?!
The laundry was a little high; $2.00/wash and $2.00/dry, but they worked well.
There is SO much to do in Pigeon Forge, as you can see from all the other posts I made, so I definitely recommend staying here and taking advantage of their awesome monthly rate, staff and amenities!
Blessings,
Steph
