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!

Type of hookups: 50 AMP Full hookups.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes
Wi-Fi: Yes, and our Verizon Aircard worked fine as well.

Fountainebleu State Park


Location: Mandeville, LA
Site#: 138
Type of hookups: Water and Electric 50 AMP only. Dump station was easily accessible.
Big Rig Friendly: Yes, but watch for the low hang branches driving through the park. Some areas we drove down the middle of the road.
Wi-Fi: Yes, but at times it was slow. We also used our Verizon Aircard which worked fine.
Cable: No.
Pros: Very Large (both wide and long) back in paved sites. Lots of activities to do in the area. New Orleans is about an hour drive; hiking trails and lots of geocaching in the park. Also, the Tammy Trace rails to trails is located just outside the entrance of the park.
Cons: Lots of traffic in the area, which made it troublesome to do shopping or just going to the post office. No play area for Koko, we couldn't even play with her on our own site. Ranger said the leash has to be in your hands at all times, or we would be fined.
Cost: $16.00-20.00/night depending on the site.
Rating: 7.75
Notes: We stay here to tour the New Orleans area, and thought it was a better option than driving the mothership into one of the campgrounds in the city.

Rainbow Plantation - Escapees Park

Location: Summerdale, AL
Site#: 64
Type of hookups: Full hookups 50 AMP (just make sure you ask for 50AMP, about half of the sites are 30amp only).
Big Rig Friendly: Yes.
Wi-Fi: No, but we used our Verizon Aircard which worked fine.
Cable: No.
Pros: Very Large (both wide and long) back-in grass sites. Great location for touring, Pensacola, Mobile, and Gulf Shores area. Lots to see and do in the area, many great restaurants, and lots of shopping within 30 minutes. Lots of fellowship and activities are occurring at this park. Very quiet and reasonably priced.
Cons: No easy access (lots of stop and go lights) to the Plantation, so we wouldn't just stay there for a night or two but if you are planning on spending a week or more it is definitely worth the drive. Fire ants are found all over, so you have to watch where you walk. They do spray for them, and we didn't have a problem with them in the rig.
Cost: $85.00/week + Electricity
Rating: 8.25
Notes: We will definitely come back to stay when were are in the area, it is a very nice place to stay with lots of activities going on.
