Reviewing Campgrounds from Summer 2015 Headed West and North

1st Site Town: El Reno, OK Campground Name: El Reno Lake West FHU; Cost was $20.00/night. Self Pay - No Host. This is a no brainer for us, we have family in the area and this is convenient.
 2nd Site Town: Amarillo, TX Campground Name: AOK Camper Park FHU. Passport America $12.50/night- You pay across the street at a convenience store. This is not the most scenic spot - but again - very easy on the wallet and close to family.
3rd Site Town: Albuquerque, NM Campground Name: Enchanted Trails RV Park. FHU. Passport America $17.00/night. They have very friendly people here. You have some great vintage cars and campers to look at, and it is in keeping with the surroundings. Camping World is a next door, over a fence (so you have to go around on the highway), just in case you need something.
4th Site Town: Holbrook, AZ Campground Name: OK RV Park. FHU. I don't remember the price. The sites are spacious and the scenery is great for the area. It had a good laundry room and plenty of space to walk the dogs. We chose to stay here to see the Petrified Forest NP and the Painted Desert. The people were friendly and helpful here also - we stayed a couple of days in order to receive meds in the mail.
5th Site Town: Kingman, AZ Campground Name: Ft. Beale RV Park. FUH. Again, I do not remember the price. This was a little crowded, not bad - just not great.
6th Site Town: Las Vegas, NV Campground Name: Nellis Air Force Base Fam Camp. FHU. We paid about $25.00 per night. The site was spacious and well kept. We really enjoyed staying here, the dog park was excellent and we enjoyed our walks. We will return at some time in the future.
7th Site Town: Hurricane, UT Campground Name: St. George/Hurricane KOA Campground. FHU. We paid $38.00 per night. This place was OK - not tons of space - but not too tight. The views were amazing. And of course plenty of things to do in the area. More research might have got a a better place to stay - State park?? There was a guy there who kept trying to give our dogs treats - which they do not like. Even though we told him they did not want them and they are not nice dogs - he pestered us with them.
8th Site Town: Cedar City, UT Campground Name: Cedar Breaks RV Park. FHU. This place was run down, but had new owners who were very nice. I also can't remember the price we paid there either. I must track prices better next time. Great area - National Parks, etc. Next time I might research the parks for a better place to stay.
9th Site Town: Brigham City, UT Campground Name: Walmart - Stayed overnight - Got in late like 9:30 PM - No openings at nearest campground - we tried - no luck. So we stayed at Walmart. No problem sleeping, because we were tired.
10th Site Town: North Fork, ID Campground Name: Wagonhammer RV & Campground. Loved this place. Absolutely no cell phone signal, because of the mountains. But the park had good WIFI. The North Fork of the Salmon River was at our front window. Eagles had a nest across the river from us. We could have stayed here much longer! They also would have hired us as workampers if we wanted.
11th Site Town: Lolo, MT Campground Name: Square Dance Center & Campground. FHU $25.00/night. I discovered this place back in 2012 and wanted to return. I just love the concept, camp in your RV and square dance on Week-ends! It is very scenic and close to Lolo Creek. Of course there is Lolo Hot Springs and Lolo Pass nearby. Lewis and Clark stayed near here at Traveler's Rest State Park. The whole area just suits me to a T. Plus you are only about 10 - 15 miles south of Missoula - lots of town things to do if you are interested in that or need to buy something.
12th Site Coeur D'Alene, ID Campground Name: Ramarack RV Park. FHU $22.50/night - might have been a Passport America site. Lots of year round residents. We would not stay here again. Very tight, right in town. We stayed because we weren't sure if we could go ahead and get into the state park for our work ampler site a night early. In hindsight we should have checked or just stayed at Walmart. Oh well. We survived. We would not stay here again.
