I have spent the last month in an expensive and tightly packed rv park in Long Beach California.
IMO, RV Park Reviews site is much more reliable in terms of providing a reasonably accurate description of a campground than Woodalls or Trailer Life directories. Especially for the more popular ones or for choosing between parks in a popular destination.As far as deciding on the campgrounds themselves, you need something like Woodalls or Trailer Life Directory (Printed version or on-line) which have fairly decent (accurate) scoring systems.
...especially from someone who has never been there .Isn't that kind of like saying Europe sucks because the hotel rooms are small?
Yep, CruiseAmerica seems to be the Uhaul of the RV rental world. However, a couple of weeks ago a German couple and (and his MIL ) camped near us in a 32' Class A motor home rented from Camping World. First time I've noticed a Camping World rental unit.P.S. For folks mentioning CruiseAmerica - that's the rental I see out on the road most often. Plus they are class C's which is probably the easiest way to get started. Very popular with overseas tourists exploring National Parks too. There must be a reason they dominate the RV rental business.
And I'll bet the regular customers of those parks don't want to share the dirty little secret with any more people than they have to in order to keep them in business...Yes. In general, the nicer RV parks are not visible from the road! They try to provide some seclusion/buffer/privacy/space from road noise and views.

That is my personal lone ranger. And, yes, he is wearing snake chaps LOL!Who is that scary person
Or is that the Lone Ranger in the picture ?
I think this entire post is wasted on an ER board. You'll get much better feedback from an RV board like iRV2 - The Friendly RV Forum Community...
For "one night stands" we tend to use the (print) Big Rig Directory - most of these are close to major travel roads.Our "one night stands" put us at greater risk of catching a "bad" one, however. I can think of two that were so bad, I still have nightmares -- the absolute worst was in mid-town Laredo. (I should quickly add that personal safety has never, ever been an issue.)
I was thinking maybe it was Indiana Jones.That is my personal lone ranger. And, yes, he is wearing snake chaps LOL!
I believe your questioned comment was a J-O-K-E...
Now, that is really, truly sad!
I have spent a lot of time in the recent months thinking about RV'ing, researching things to do, where to go, what adventures we will have on the road, all the National Parks we could visit. Now, I am told I may just end up sitting by my RV in an RV park somewhere looking sad! Why don't I just go bang my head against the fiberglass wall of the RV?
... I get people saying they would never own one of those terrible death machines made by Toyota...
Anyway, my wife won't let me push this RV off a cliff now. She already bought into my vision of the adventurous trips that we will take (actually fairly tamed compared to the hardy souls out there, but on the other hand we appear to be more daring than many that we know).
And I will not try to retrofit a granite countertop into this RV, nor "remodel" its bathroom. It already feels like, well, home.
Were you under the impression that I said that ?
