First trip by RV. I'm looking for a campsite around the Kennedy Space Center Florida for 3 days in February 2021. They are all reserved even if I am a year early. Do you have any suggestions for a place to sleep apart from the grounds? Can we spend the night on the streets or other advice? I have a 24 foot Fore...

I'm thinking ahead as I know the FL sites are hard to get. We plan to start FT early summer 2021. We would like to be in So. Florida next winter for 3-4 months. We will (hopefully) have a 43' 5er. I'd be very interested in your recommendations for favorite RV parks!

I enjoy this campground but you need to keep children close IMO.

Any recommendations for campgrounds near Jackson, WY? We will be there next summer, probably July, and we pull a 38' Bighorn.

Starting to look at our plans for 2020 travel season. Think we will explore the Carolin’s and Eastern Virginia area.We like to spend 1-2 weeks at each stop and never like to travel more than 200 miles at a time. Any suggestions would be welcome. We travel in a 43’ 5th wheel so parks need to be big rig friend...

We’re looking for a nice RV Park close to Harlingen, about an hour from South Padre Island for just over a month in December. Between $500-$700 USD would be right. Any suggestions?

I've narrowed my search for an RV Resort/Campground to the Tuscon area for Nov 2019 thru March 2020. I like what I'm reading about Desert Trails RV Park near the National Park. Anyone ever stay here before or other parks in the Tuscon area that they could recommend? Hans

So I have heard here, along with some other places, that there are campgrounds that don't allow RVs over 10 years old in their campgrounds. I know that there are variances between campgrounds, but in general are these rules strictly enforced or are they used to keep the so-called "undesirables" out...

Or at least a warning? I checked into a campground where two bulldozers, a grader, a back hoe, and two compactors began their day at 8AM, about 100 feet from my trailer. They seem to be expanding. Now at 2:30, the rumble and deep harmonics of the equipment is coming through the walls of my Airstream and...

My wife and I spent a few days around the Smoky Mounation National Park recently and we had our dually.

We saw a few rangers and ou...

People are all but claim-jumping to get first-come-first-served campsites they can hold through Memorial Day around here.
