We have created the campground page to assist you in deciding whether you would like to stay at a given campground. We currently have a 40' Diesel Motorhome with three slides; prior to 2007 we had a 35' Gas Motorhome with one slide. We do not rate campground bathroom facilities as we seldom use them; we prefer the convenience of our own restroom. We use the various campground links on the left side of this page in determining where to stay.

Happy Camping!

Koa - Indianapolis

Location: Greenfield, IN
Site#: D-10
Type of hookups: Full hookups 50 AMP.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes.
Wi-Fi: They said they had it, but we didn't pickup the signal where we were.
Cable: No
Pros: Closest campground for us to visit with family in the Indy area. New sites were very wide with paved patios.
Cons: The main road into the campground was very rough and narrow (see note below for alternative entrance). Price very expensive for no ammenities and our cost was an off season rate.
Cost: $42.25(that is w/o KOA discount and off-season rate)
Rating: 5.5
Notes: If you are going to stay in the new section (I would call ahead and verify) go in the back entrance which is much easier than driving through the front and entire campground. To use the back entrance turn left at the shell gas station, this will take you right into the park.

James Island County Park


Location: Charleston, SC
Site#: 31
Type of hookups: Full hookups 50 AMP.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes.
Wi-Fi: Yes, excellent speed.
Cable: No, but TV reception was good.
Pros: One of the best campgrounds we have ever stayed at. Almost all of the sites are "Big Rig friendly". Some sites are more wide open than others, but ours had trees and landscaping on both sides which gave us more privacy. The roads in the campground were paved and the sites had gravel pads. 4-5 miles of paved walking/biking trails.
Cons: Not very easy on/off access. The streets (Folley Road) was very busy, and then Riverland Drive was very narrow with lots of low branches.

Cost: $37.80
Rating:9

Barnyard RV Park


Location: Lexington, SC
Site#: B2
Type of hookups: Full hookups 50 AMP.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes.
Wi-Fi: Was available at a fee.
Cable: Yes
Pros: Nice campground with level/gravel campsite to visit the Columbia, SC area, not a lot of campgrounds in the area. Reasonable price for a full-hookup 50 amp site with cable hook-ups. Good cell coverage for both the phone and air card.
Cons: The Sites are narrow, no landscaping, and no ammenities at the campground.

Cost: $26.35
Rating: 6.5
Notes: We came to the campground on Monday and decided at noon that we better call to make sure they had plenty of sites avalable, and good thing we did they one had one-site left when we arrived at 4:30. Also, this is next to a Flee Market and I am sure it is VERY busy on the weekends.



Kentucky Horse Park


Location: Lexington, KY
Site#: 30
Type of hookups: Water and Electric 50 AMP.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes.
Wi-Fi: Was available at a fee. I believe the girl said it was 4.95/hour for the first two hours than she wasn't sure what the fee was. We passed and used the air-card.
Cable: No
Pros: Very well maintained campground and grass area between each site. Staff in the office was very friendly and helpful, the interior roads were paved, and the sites were all paved
Cons: Some outside noise and we noticed the water was rusty; however they just turned on the water at the sites so we are wondering if that maybe why.
Cost: $24.30
Rating:8
Notes: The campgrounds does not have full-hookup, but they do have two large dump stations that will accommodate two units at each station. Also, the sites are generally the same size, we just asked for the outer loop because it was further away from the pool, playground etc. When you have lots of kids around the playground loop especially gets rather noisy.

Ami's Acres Campground - Glenwood Springs, CO


Location: Glenwood Springs, CO
Site#: 13
Type of hookups: Full hookups 50 AMP.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes, but very tight (we have three slides and were able to extend all of them).
Wi-Fi: Was available in the front office area only, or possible sites closer to office. We could not pick it up from our site
Cable: No
Pros: About the only campground with 50AMP full hookups in the Aspen - Glenwood Springs area. Its close to Glenwood Springs and many activities in the area. The owner very friendly and working on maintaining the grounds. The view of the surrounding mountains is very nice. The cell phone coverage in this area is excellent, so I could use my air card for Internet access.
Cons: Road (I-70) and Railroad noise. The sites were covered with large gravel (stones) that are difficult to walk on and don't cover the entire ground, so the ground can get muddy. Sites are very narrow for a big-rig with slide outs. The campground is built into a hill, so the driveway is very steep and no place to unhook your tow vehicle except the road. No amenities (pool, playground for children, etc..) and the TV antenna reception is not very good (we picked one channel).
Cost: $34.81
Rating: 5.5
Notes: We stayed in this area to visit family in Aspen and enjoy the outdoor activities between Aspen and Glenwood Springs.
