- This video is a mid-year review of all of the RV parks we’ve stayed in for 2023! We’ve kept track of the cost, amenities, likes and dislikes of each park we’ve visited! Covering parks from Texas to Maine, we have twenty parks to review, so there is a lot to discuss!
We also play a game to see how our lists compare to each other. Since our list of likes and dislikes is usually different, you’ll want to see how each list turns out! We review our bottom five parks that we’d likely never return to, as well as our top five parks that we would absolutely return to! Our lists surprised each other, and we think you’ll be surprised, too! Let us know how our list compares to the parks you’ve visited!

as a 30 year camper in the NE I say most are not worth the money. However you need to remember they have a short season...usually mothers day to columbus day. Also their labor costs and taxes are through the roof unlike southern red states. BTW....we retired and moved to SC...best idea in years.
We found they have short seasons, they are older, and they charge way more than we expected! See we made all these plans for the year at one time so when we started reserving places that were $70 or more a night we thought wow we are going to be staying at some nice places! We found out that the price doesn't mean nice, we actually stayed at some not so great places that were expensive on this trip!
The property taxes are also alot higher!!
Recently found your channel. We really enjoy your content. Don’t know what kind of jobs you have but, I can’t comprehend the money you are going through. Good for you!! Enjoy your travels and stay safe. ❤
@philstucker1312 Glad you like the content! It sounds like a lot, but remember we aren't on vacation, we are living! If we had a home and did this, it would be a lot of money! But this is half the cost of what we spent to own a home!
Fun to look back on this adventure. I think the all time top reviews would be great.
It was fun to relive the year so far! An alltime top 10 would be tough to decide on! There have been some good ones!
We try to stay at state parks and private as a last resort. Granted, being a older couple, we don’t really need a pool, playground, putt putt etc that the private parks have.
We try to stay at the best place for what we are trying to accomplish on the trip! We did try to make sure the kids had a great time this year so we stayed at several really nice places between Memorial Day and Labor day so we could enjoy the pools and amenities!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I love the excursions and all the sightseeing but I really like these videos. These are ones we are gonna use when we finally get out on the road to help us pick our campgrounds. I was always told to learn from the mistakes of others because you can't live long enough to make them all yourself...lol. Love you guys and God bless! Safe travels
Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed the video! We like to make these types of videos because it lets us recap our adventures, but it also shares what we have done with others who might be thinking of doing something similar!
The only thing wrong with the Roadrunner park was remembering the State Park walking in that gourge where the sand flies were. Just thinking about that trip makes my leg start Itching.
Those flies were terrible!
Y’all did spend some $$, but y’all had a great time and made a lot of memories (and great videos😂😂😂). But it looks like the north east could be a “one and done” for a lot of us. Thanks a lot for all the campground tours and an expectation on what it costs to tour up there.
We had a great time on this trip so far, and we spent way more money that we thought we would to do it! There are some places we will go back to, but there is a lot of the NE that was probably the only time we will go there!
I chuckled at Williamsburg being northeast. I view that as south being from CT. I’ve looked at a few RV sites when I was down there on vacation with the family, and none that I saw looked worthwhile.
Well we are considering all of the parks on this list part of our trip to the NE! But Virginia is the first place where things changed significantly, and we started to feel like we were no longer in the south! We were also surprised that the north and south line is a lot further north than we thought it was!
Given that we’ve traveled in our RV to 49 of the 50 states and all over Canada, we’ve stayed in a lot of RV parks. Before our last trip in July, I would have said our top two favorites were the KOA’s in San Diego and Tucson. But in July, we stayed at a new RV park in Flagstaff, AZ called Village Camp Resort. That would have to be my favorite. The worst one was back when we lived in Wisconsin and stayed at Lake Peppin RV park in Lake City, MN. It was one of the hottest weeks of the year and we couldn’t keep our AC going. It turns out that our electric pedestal was 30 amps and was shared with the people behind us. When they turned their AC on it shut our breaker off and we couldn’t run ours and vice versa. And they weren’t the sharing kind of neighbors. I love to see your video on all the parks you stayed at.
It's very easy to remember the great ones and the worst ones! It's funny because the worst parks for us always involve our experience not meeting the expectations! And some of our best stays have come when we stayed at nothing special places that ended up being amazing!
Y’all should come through Augusta, GA on your way back and stay at a site on the lake. Huge private sites (like you can barely see the people at the next site over) but no sewer.
We will be back to Georgia at some point, but our trip home takes us along the great lakes and through the Mid West!
Enjoyed....great information for RV'ers.....
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
This is a super how to about RV life can be. What to do in finding a park, what to know. What the planning of activities versus what activities are there really. About budgeting.
One of the best was up in Auburn, and one in Fort Gaines. Easy one for you on I-10 in Alabama is Hidden hollow- for a quick stay over
Worst....Lenoir Green Mountain.
Thank you! Almost all of our campgrounds have been great, we have had a few that didn't meet expectations, but for the most part we have had good luck! There are however a few that were just horrible, and we considered leaving!
New subscriber binge watching your videos! What a lovely couple & family! ❤ Fun, creative and a joy to watch!
I KNEW YOGI WOULD WIN!!! 😂
Awe, thank you! And welcome to our channel! We're so glad to hear you are enjoying our channel! ❤️
I love these videos because I work at a state park. You are helping me know what campers want. We camp here but we live down the street and know the town. This helps me know how to better our visitors stay. Thank you. I would love to see an all time favorite and not so favorite sites.
Glad you liked it we are wrapping up the last half of our trip now back home to Texas from Maine and will be doing a recap video of all the campgrounds we stayed on the way home! An All time Top 5 and bottom 5 Video would be awesome!
I live in New Hampshire, so glad you enjoyed your stay here! We have Tent camped for 4 years, just bought a small trailer. Our favorite so far campground is Pawtuckaway State Park. Not a place for big rigs! No hook-ups, but beautiful sites on the lake! We are venturing out with our new camper to try other places!
NH has been my favorite place on this trip, if we would have known what was there we would have gotten there sooner!
Hey guys we are at Pigeon Forge RV Park right now.! We really like this place. It is kind of pricey, but it is well kept and very clean along with being quite. The people here are also very nice. I enjoyed this video very much. Have fun and be safe. Looking forward to seeing your next video ❣️
We liked the park, it was very well kept and nice and neat! The river running next to it is also pretty awesome! This is one that had we been there in season it might have gotten better scores from us! Nothing wrong with the park, but when you go to Pigeon Forge you go there to be in Pigeon Forge not the RV park so for me this is not the type of park you need to stay in if you want to explore!
Loved the comparisons. ❤😂
Thank you!
GREAT JOB, a lot of good information. Hehehe And you have to be careful with the websites of RV parks. We booked a site in Canada once, the website showed a Beautiful place. It was a sardine can Park, the sites were so close you could not put your awning out. It would hit your neighbors slide out. The park SUCK, the area was GREAT. HEHEHE We just got back from a 8000+ mile trip, 16 states. After half way I STOPPED looking at the cost of things. Fuel, sites, HEHEHE It’s go or say Home. We are going…… Love Your Videos.
Thank you! We have been fooled by websites more than once on our adventures! We are really surprised when we get somewhere, and the place is better than the website! I don't really look at the numbers when they are happening just at the end of the month to see how it ended up!
Great video! Glad you brought the boss in to help with the reviews! 😉😁 Somebody has to keep things in line!
Thank you! She does keep me in line!
Great energy on the top 5! How fun!
Next time if you ever make it to Maine in Orchard Beach, Bailey’s RV resort is fantastic for kids, ton amenities and activities for the kids. There’s a trolley takes you to old Orchard as well as Pine point beach. If you stay down around the fishing pond spots are good size with no issues with a big rig. And if you make it to Portland, head light the best lobster roll you’ll ever have is off of a food truck. Bite into Maine is the name enjoy safe
We stayed at the Sun Outdoors Wild Acres in Old Orchard Beach! It was nice but, was very price and crowded when we were there! We also didn't have the best site for our rig and we had some negative encounters with the seasonal site owners! We had great lobster rolls in Bar Harbor at the traveling Lobster!
Enjoyable recap 😊 looking forward to campgrounds on trip back home to Texas as now we have a better idea of your likes and dislikes. Travel safe 😘
Thank you! We find that our feelings on a park usually depend on the experience we have on the whole trip! We have stayed at campgrounds that were nothing more than a place to park and loved the stay, and we have also stayed at places that were top notch, but we didn't have a great time!
Best: River's Edge in Murphy, NC. Worst: KOA Hot Springs,Arkansas. Army Corps parks are among the best and very affordable.
We have been to that KOA we had problems getting in and out of that place! We have several places we like to stay back in Texas they are very affordable and away from it all!
That was the problem. They had to escort us out the exit road because our 40' Tiffin don't bend.
Worst was a place outside of Savannah GA., Happy Acres. This place, while well maintained, had cats everywhere. At least 100 of them. Half the park was mobile homes. At least once a day it smelled like a skunk ran through the campground, if you know what I mean. The best is a tie between two parks. The Ridge in Pigeon Forge. and Talona Ridge RV Resort in Ellijay, GA. Both were well worth the money. The Ridge, had everything; form pizza ovens and hottubs AT THE SITE, to lazy rivers and pools.
The best ones are hard to place in an order, and the worst ones stand out and you never forget them!
@@PavingNewPaths so true!
RVing since May 1999
My #1. Normandy Farms in Foxboro, MA by far the best in the USA.
A close number 2 is West Glacier KOA, it’s the best KOA ever.
My worse campground is Livingston KOA, Livingston, Montana tied with Devils Tower KOA, oh add Quad Cities KOA in Davenport, Iowa. ( they got kicked out of the KOA system)
Although there are hundreds of campgrounds we have been to, I can’t remember most.
That’s why I been doing campground reviews on CZcams. Just so I can remember the campgrounds and my sites.
It is really funny how you remember the absolute best and the worst! We had so many that were just average and nothing special and we almost forgot about them!
Normandy is nice but we have some much nicer ones here in SC.
I had been looking at class A/B coaches, I am more than convinced these are not how I want to spend my retirement time & money. Thank you. 😊
It is a great way to travel and see the USA! Just know that it is not a 24/7 vacation and it will take some work and planning to make it work for you!
Gooood video with some great footage!!!
I’m surprised you didn’t hook up the Momentum and take it to Watkins Glen for laps. More than likely, you would’ve set a world record lap time for a 5ver!😂😂😂
👍😃🍻
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video! It did cross our minds to bring the rv to Watkins Glen, but they have a pesky little rule about no rv's on the track!
I LOVE your extensive content. You guys have encouraged me to blog once I purchase my RV😊. You guys may have already stated this but I’m new to your channel but why are you guys not using Thousand Trails or the many others? Thanks for responding.
Thank you! We are so glad you enjoy the channel and the videos! Thousand trails is a great option if you want to stay in a regional area! It is also tricky to play the planning game and use the system to the maximum benefit! We considered it but, our first year was out west and they aren't in that area! After that year we decided we don't want to be locked into a certain region or only campgrounds in the TT network! It is a great option just doesn't work for the way we want to travel!
We stay at Elks Lodges 90% of the time. $0-20 per night. A few are $30-35
No kids, so that helps.
Enjoy. Looks like your having fun. We’ve been full time 5.1 years.
We would love to have more flexibility in how we travel but this is what works for us now! We are having a great time and love that we are able to do this with our kids!
Great, now I can't let my wife watch this video. I booked Alecia's worst campground for Memorial Day weekend next year! I just know she's going to question it if she sees this 😂.
I have struggled to find sewer sites up here. I'll find an awesome campground and then read there's no sewer. My view: we paid for that plumbing and we're going to use it!
Seasonal sites seemed rare in MO. So much so that I didn't even know what they were until we moved to CT. I still don't understand it, but to each their own.
Best: tough one.... we loved the Jellystone in Carver, MA eventhough it was only a Friday-Sunday trip. The activities could've been better organized and there weren't enough slots for laser tag. My only hold up saying this is the best is the price as you mentioned. It was a sunny Saturday so we got to use the water park which was our primary objective. I think (hope) the best is yet to come, hoping it's the Outer Banks over July 4th next year.
Worst: KOA Grand Island Niagara. Great KOA park if you stay towards the front ($$), but we went with the cheap pull through sites in the back. Pricey sites towards the front are much better. Back sites are right on the highway and sites so close you had to ask your neighbors to move their vehicle to have a fire.
The Jefferson Campground is perfect for exploring, the park is small and older but your not going to spend much time there, NH is so awesome you will always be gone exploring! If we had been in Washington when the pools were not freezing Cherry Hill might have been my number 1! Carver was pretty awesome even if they could use some work on the admin side of things!
Great video. Your assessment of the people in Maine as full timers is spot on. People in general in the northeast are not very kind. I live in Rhode Island, travel for work in the south, and have a hard time going back home because of the people and attitudes.
We found that a majority of the people in the NE live life at a much faster pace than the south! They are always in a hurry and have zero patience! We met some really amazing people along the way and now have life long friends, but we also met some not so amazing people! I noticed they like to look at my truck, see the Texas plate and say long way from home huh!
We almost exclusively stay in state parks. Our two worst stays were in private parks with too many seasonal sites. Felt like we were intruders. However, the worst site we ever stayed in was right next to the play ground 😳
Yes, we were that old couple getting annoyed by the noise. We thought it would be nice to sit outside and enjoy watching the kids play. The problem on this particular weekend is that NONE of the parents came to the playground with over two dozen kids of all ages. They screamed and screamed all day long from 6:30 am until long into the night. Yup, when it got dark they had flashlights turning the playground into a screaming disco 😳🤣
Even with our shades down our bedroom looked like we were being raided by the cops with all the spot lights bouncing around the room. Lesson learned. Now we do our best to camp as far away from the playground as possible 🤣
Our second worst site was right across from the bath house. For some reason all the people thought our Campsite was the path to the bath house. Drove our dog nuts. We ended up staying inside the entire time as it became hectic trying to keep our dog in check.
We know what you mean by to many seasonal sites! It does feel like you don't belong as a traveling visitor! We have never had any parks that were bad because of other people in the park, but we have had a few where we had issues with management, or employees, but we do a pretty good job of vetting places now, so we don't find ourselves in those places again!
Yes do it.
We will see about deciding which one's make the top 10
Great video
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Would love to see all time favorites and all time worst for all your travels
That would take some sorting there are so many great ones we have stayed at! Perhaps we will do an all time Top Ten!
I very much enjoyed your reviews on these campgrounds. Please continue do do this kind of thing. My children are grown, but that doesn't affect the information you graciously share. Thanks you!
We're so glad you enjoyed this video, and we have plans to make more like this!
Come up to Canada Vancouver bc .
We are also big rig and would love to travel for a bit with you guys
We need to work out when we would like to do Canada! It is on our list but I think we would like to plan some of it on a trip to Alaska!
We also have a 44 foot rig. When we go adventure seeking, we prefer state parks. We only do RV parks when it’s a family vacation.
Before this trip we had only stayed at a few Resort type places! When making plans up the east coast sometimes the only choice you have in some of the areas we stayed was a choice between a place that wasn't so nice and a resort type place! We also wanted the kids to have a great time so we made sure they had great places to stay between Memorial Day and Labor Day!
@@PavingNewPaths i completely agree. We have noticed it is a lot harder to make reservations the further north east you go. Next year we will head south and west.
This year I had the entire trip planned by February, but even then I had a hard time finding some places when I got to the summer time and this was months ahead! They have a very short season up here and often times it is reserved a year out!
We are relatively new rv’ers and have only stayed in state parks near us. However, being a WV native it pains me that you had a less than stellar time in wild and wonderful WV. Summersville is a beautiful lake and we camped many years there. Not sure if they are big rig friendly. That was back in our tent camping days.
I have an open mind about our travels and know I may not always see places in their prime! WV seems amazing, but when we were there the experience was less than stellar, mostly because everything we planned to do was closed!
Go on the Rapids on the River.
We didn't get a chance to do that this trip but will definitely do it next time!
Great video
Unfortunately supply and demand has jacked up prices
The Pandemic influx of RVers. Lots at capacity
We think the prices were inflated and they just never came back down! Most parks are not very busy except on holidays but the prices are still almost double what we think they should be!
My question is what did you do when the 10 days were over after paying so much in an RV park
We are going to start the Rv life November and your video got us FREAKED OUT
We travel fulltime so when ever our time at one park is up, we move to the next park and the next place we want to explore!
$2100 a month is a lot of money, for sure. But, if you think about a normal home owner having a mortgage, cable, power bill, water bill ect ect it’s a little easier to grasp. Plus, your $2100 a month is well worth the experience! Love the videos 😊
Yes it seems like a lot of money, and it would be if this was a vacation on top of owning a home! But since this is our living it is actually less than we spent to have a house and we get to enjoy exploring this country of ours as a family!
Versus a normal home owner you gain equity so that’s the downside about full time rv life
@@CToles-dg5pn The problem with equity is you never get to use it unless you plan on selling your home! If you sell it you will replace it with something, that will likely cost what you just sold your house for!
yea, too bad houses value goes up dramatically and campers lose value dramatically.
This is just a downside to campers versus a home. When it’s all said and done there is no value left in a camper versus a home appreciates. But to be able to travel and make the memories to each is own
I think I would “dip” in the area and dip back out. Maybe a week a half LOL
I thought this was just the NE for some reason. Anyway, I get it now.
This was every park we stayed at from Texas all the way to Maine! We are currently on our way back to Texas and will be making a follow up video about the RV parks on the second half of our trip!
All time worst would be so beneficial!!!
We do a pretty good job of screening the places we stay now, but we have stayed at a few not so great places on our adventures!
U didn’t go to Dollywood In Tennessee & visited with Dolly Parton.
We didn't this time since the weather wasn't great! Next time it is on our list!
UP!
Thank you!
Please go to ocean lakes family campground
Thanks for the suggestion!
If you count VA and north what does your per night average jump to? Sadly its what we deal with around here. I just booked our season ending RV trip in November south of Charlottesville, VA at the Charlottesville KOA and its going to cost about 79 a night.
It would go up some because everything before VA we were paying less than our average of $69 a night! But I don't think it would go up all that much maybe to 75-80 a night average! What we learned is our old price vs. experience expectations had to change! Before this trip anything around $70 and we were at a resort we never need to leave! In the NE $70 is a basic average site, and if we wanted that really nice resort type experience, we had to get to $100 a night or more! This year was more resorts than we have ever stayed at, but in some areas, I had to decide between maybe not so great and a resort, and seeing how the price is higher than we are used at both, why not choose the bigger chain over the smaller not as nice places!
@@PavingNewPaths Agreed a well priced resort is nice, though places you are going to pay for the location. And prices are definitely up since 2019, I used to average 50 a night in this area, now its 70. At least reservations are getting easier to find.
@@jamesbitb Florida used to feel expensive now after the NE Florida looks pretty affordable!
@@PavingNewPaths Heading south for us is feels like a budget vacation....
Have to have a lot of extra money to full time rv these days. All expenses no equity but it’s cool just not sustainable for most for a long term plan imo
You actually only need extra money if this was a vacation, and you had a home as well! This is actually alot cheaper than owning a home, it is also very sustainable, you have a job and you pay for how you live, we have a job and pay to live this way! It is no different than having a home, except we get to change our address and scenery often!
Y’all’s videos are great really enjoy them. Keep it up!
Such a great video! We're weekend warriors here in NWPA and can only go to camp grounds within a 2-3 hour drive to make it worth the trip so we've been to a lot of the same ones over the years and looking at some of the ones you guys stayed at it looks like were getting ripped off lol. I will say, the season is much shorter around here so I get it but the average price around here seems to be in the low 70's and you usually get a pool and playground. I mentioned in another one of your videos, I think a lot of camp grounds at least around here are pricing themselves right out of business because there's not much to do around here unless you like hiking everywhere and about the only amenity you get is a pool for prices in the 70's. There's one area we stay at a few times a year called Cook Forest and one camp ground called Campers Paradise and love it there but it's a 3-5 day stay max because you run out of things to do.
Thank you! For us $70 used to mean a really nice place with tons of things for the kids to do! In the NE we found $70 is usually not a very good place and you have to spend over $100 to get an amazing place, but even then the price doesn't always mean its going to be good! This NE trip has been fun but it was expensive and we stayed at a lot of parks that we normally wouldn't have stayed at but we were trying to ensure we had a good experience in and out of the parks!
NO DAMN WAY.
Something we agree on!
Wait till democrats make you drive an electric truck, you’ll be giving away your glamper
If they make the electric truck capable of pulling our rig then by all means I am for it! But until they can make it work I will keep my diesel!
Very disappointed in this video. Your comments/complaints/price whining about parks you reserved are very subjective. Why do you complain about what is / isn’t open in areas the season dictates openings? I’m guessing you need content for the channel. That’s sad, besides all the complaints about your kid’s inability to do things is ridiculous. Personally that’s on you as parents. Maybe less negativity and find a new direction.
Our videos should be subjective, as they are told from our point of view about our experiences. It's interesting that you interpreted us as complaining and whining when we were simply just stating our experiences. We noted that things weren't open in some parks because it gives context to the overall experience and price. We've found that many parks charge the same price whether or not their amenities are open, while almost never telling you in advance what will actually be available for use when you arrive. The only negativity we see with this video is your comment about being displeased with how we share our experiences!
I LOVE your videos because your honesty
