We completely agree with you...
Campground: Close enough for us to take and be able to park two vehicles. Two vehicles means my wife pulls our boat which means there needs to be water big enough for a boat with an outboard to fish and explore backwaters and canals. We like Michigan state parks on the west to north ends of the state the best. Living near Detroit I can honestly say the parks on this side of Michigan are sometimes very noisy and not as nice as parks further away. I am not putting anyone down or trying to belittle anyone, but the last time I camped in Irish Hills some drunk guy was driving through the park in a convertible at [4 AM] playing "Jump" at full volume, waking everyone in the park. He made several circuits!
But even the western Michigan campgrounds aren't as nice as they used to be. 20 years ago there was -0- noise allowed after 10 Pm. They patrolled the park every few minutes. Neither are happening now. Campers were not allowed to park next to the road so kids on bikes could be able to get off the road. Cars and RV's are now mostly parked less than a foot from the pavement! It is sometimes impossible to be able to make the swing to back our Solitude into a lot without bothering people to move their cars.
RV Parks: For our Solitude, 50 Amp service in warm weather is a must. Even with soft starts we can only run one AC on 30 amps at a time with everything else on gas (tried it...no go). There is a lot of roof surface area converting tall that sunshine into heat. Don't judge us but at our age we prefer quiet and adults.. We feel that hollow plastic wheels on pavement in an RV park should be banned. We don't care how old or new the RV's are as long as they are kept up and kept neat.Last edited by fez111; 08-05-2021 at 10:31 AM.

We like spacious , level and sunny sites. Don’t like the mess trees make on your RV. Also like walking trails, restaurants etc. close to campgrounds. Full hookups are preferred but we have a solar panel and a generator if dry camping.

We 'B' train with a boat when camping, so, lake access for fishing. Hiking trails. A few trees between sites.
When RV'ing, ie where the big rigs go, full hookups and open sites for meeting people.2018 Dodge 3500 6.7 Cummins SRW w/Aisin

We mostly stay in state/public campgrounds, or out in the sticks by ourselves. Stayed in a "resort" once or twice, not really for us. If in a CG we like to do some sightseeing if in a new area, walking/bicycle paths, maybe some single track parks nearby so I can go out & get hurt on my bike.
One place we seem to go most EVERY year is Ft. Stevens St. Park in Oregon-11+ miles of bike paths, Astoria/Long Beach in Washington state is just a short drive. Sites are not huge but mostly private.
Another place is Dead Horse St. Park in Arizona-in winter/early spring. Lots of mtn. bike trails a couple of lagoons.
Both places need reservations way in advance to get the good spots.Paul, Sue & Wonder Dog Zane

A place that enforces the rules, especially the rules about being quiet and leashing dogs. I think I'll start carrying a cattle prod to zap dogs, or perhaps their owners, next time. I want to relax and loud neighbors during quiet hours and barking dogs just chaps my hide.
