"Good stop on I-40"
Truth is, it doesn't take much to get a three-star rating from me. If everything works, you'll get a three. Four takes a bit more: good handling of reservations, a quiet park with hookups that are trouble-free and easy to access. It's big-rig...

We made reservations for Oasis Rv Park a couple of days in advance, and when we arrived, our site was ready and check-in was painless. The people at the front office are helpful and friendly.
The park has all the amenities you'd expect from a...

"Nice place to stay"
El Reno is a few miles west of Oklahoma City, and the city park at Lake El Reno offers the usual amenities - fishing, canoeing, picnicking. It also offers a pretty nice place to camp.
There are two camping loops - East is smaller of the two and...

"Boondocking in Navajo Nation"
My first reaction when I was researching this leg of our trip was, "Why should I pay to see Monument Valley?" The admission to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park is $20, which gives your carload of up to four people access to the park, hotel, the...

"Friendly Family Owned Park"
Weimar, Texas is probably not on your destinations list for Texas this summer, but if you need a place to spend a night or two, it will look pretty good as you roll down Interstate 10.
Whispering Oaks is a friendly park with spacious,...

"New Park, with Great access to Galveston"
We were some of the first to stay at Stella Mare last fall, and to be honest, we would do better to come back and look at again. Much was under construction when we stayed, but we had an event to attend, and Galveston was invaded by 500,000...

"Nothing fancy, but close to the beach"
Mustang Island State Park is close to the beach. That sums up the reasons to stay here. It is really a large parking lot with 48 back-in water-electric spaces that are able to accommodate any size rig. We parked our fifth-wheel, unhooked, and...

"We'll come back after the remodel is done"
One of the disadvantages of traveling during off-peak season is that many parks and facilities are trying to complete expansion and remodeling before the peak tourist season. Same here. We stayed in a newer section of the park, and while all the...

"Beautiful park in the heart of Cajun Country"
I wish we had more time to spend in this area. The park itself was lush and green, even in the middle of February. The campsites are huge - ours was 75 feet long, and at least 25 feet wide. If you can drive it in, you can park it here. The sites...

"Comfortable sites, close to Hot Springs"
Hot Springs KOA is carved out of a hillside spot near town. It's close enough for easy access to Hot Springs National Park and the town of Hot Springs - they're really all one thing - but far enough out that traffic isn't bad, and noise is...

Tug's Journal: Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park
After three and a half months at Mancos State Park, we finally had to maneuver the rig out of our comfy, tree-shaded spot and head south. Maneuver isn't the right word. Trailer tango works better. Fir...
