Favorite Campground

[mark5w]

Time to lighten up the forums. What and where is your favorite campground and why??

Here goes: Favorite is Lakewood CG, Myrtle Beach, SC. Nice large sites on the ocean, have nice indoor, outdoor pools and reasonable rates. It's also near good restaurants and activities.

That's tough to narrow down - we've stayed at some very nice campgrounds in Western Canada and the US all the way from Montana across to New York State. I'd have to say Waterton National Park in South East Alberta, Canada was one of the nicest for long term stays. Incredible scenery and wildlife. Lots to do if you like hiking, horseback riding, golfing, boating - right next to Glacier National Park on the US Side.

our favorite is sycamore lodge in Jackson springs, NC. it is only about an hour and a half from home. it has a pool, hot tub, nice playground, basketball court, shuffleboard, horse shoes, volleyball, mini golf, paddleboats, catch and release fishing lake, a little koi pond with waterfall, activities for the adults and kids plus nice sites. They are a membership campground but to us they are worth it. They are travel resorts America but they are a coast o coast affiliate so you can use the C2C membership to stay here. They are in the middle of nowhere but that adds to it for us. Here are some pics.





more pics here. if interested.

One of our favorites is OCEAN VIEW RESORT & CAMPGROUND. Located in Ocean View NJ just outside of Sea Isle City. We bring our grandkids every year and they love it. Great campground for kids of all ages and adults as well. They feature a Huge outdoor pool, fresh water lake with a sand beach, plus all the other outdoor activities to do, bochie ball, mini golf, shuffle board, plus only a ten minute drive to the ocean at Sea Isle City.

Any campground west of the Mississippi and east of CA. But...we especially enjoy the campground at the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt NP.

Locally - Mill Bridge Village Campresort - only 12 miles from home.

Here in Ontario, Canada, it has to be Algonquin Provincial Park.

Shelby KOA near Mansfield Ohio. Hands down for us. Great campground for kids and owners go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Super clean. Campground has won numerous awards with KOA and it shows.. Tons of stuff for the kids to do and close to home.

Close second is our most recent stay at the Gettysburg KOA...Great setting.

Rick - we spent 3 nights at Mill Bridge Village in 2011. Nice campground. I absolutely love the area and the folks up there are really nice. I always hear people talk about southern hospitality, but in my opinion the folks in southeast PA are every bit as nice or nicer than the folks down here in the south.

My favorite campground is Tremont Outdoor Resort in Townsend, TN. It is right on the bank of the Little River on the "peaceful side of the Smokies". It joins the national park and is the nearest improved campground to Cades Cove. The town of Townsend is resistant to development. It is made up of locally owned businesses and has several other campgrounds to choose from. There are bike trails that run the length of Hwy 321 all the way through the town. You can rent a bike or bring your own. There are also several places to rent tubes that provide shuttles where you can tube the Little River during the warmer months. Townsend is about a 20 minute drive down 321 through Wear's Valley from Pigeon Forge, so you can easily get to the action if you want to spend some time shopping or eating in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but you don't have to put up with the noise and traffic at the campground. I love it. We like hiking in the mountains and spending time photographing the wildlife in Cades Cove, but we don't like dry camping, so Tremont is the best choice for us.
