Some places we liked on our trip out west.
Green River Campground in Dinosaur NM. No hookups but even in July, it’s cool enough at night to not need AC. Shaded and good space to the spots. Right beside the Green River. Convenient to the park.
RV campground in Mammoth Cave NP. Can’t remember the name but it’s nice. Spaces are big and reasonably secluded. Some spots are close to each other and some of the wooded underbrush is cleared making spaces seem close to each other. But overall, nice place. Again, no hookups but nice place. Bring your own firewood as the local store only sells pressed sawdust “firewood”.
the Portal RV Park in Moab was nice. Not very spacious but convenient to Moab and the parks. Clean and organized and has a nice pool.
wahweap RV Park in Page, AZ. It’s desert, so no real shade or trees. But this park is convenient to the the lake and other places. Clean and spacious.
grizzly RV park in West Yellowstone was nice. Seemed a little too structured for us but was clean, well organized, and nice. Close to Yellowstone. Playground was sub par. No pool.
Palmer Gulch KOA Bear Mt Rushmore was probably our favorite park. Lots of activities for the kids, was very laid back, and convenient to Rushmore and Crazy Horse. They offered UTV rentals on the spot as well as golf cart rentals and even car rentals. They also have horseback riding on the site, so no reason to leave if you like these activities. Store is well stocked and reasonable prices for things. Multiple options for restaurants on site as well. Pool and water slide on site. Gem minining on site. Bike rentals on site. All kinds of stuff, so much so that the kids never wanted to leave the campground to visit Rushmore, etc. probably our favorite campground of our 6 week trip. Sites can be a little crowded but it’s rustic (no paved curbs, just rudimentary gravel drives. Pet friendly too.
riverside plantation RV park in Pigeon Forge was nice as well. Spaces were reasonably neat and organized. Plenty for the kids to do (pool, bounce pillow, etc). They even have a RV/bus wash on site. Can use golf carts to get around if you have one or rent one from them. Good location. Pickle ball court. Only gripe was the pool closes at 8pm. At 8pm, it’s still light out and people are still relaxing and using the pool. Management had to chase out no less than 35 people out of the pool at 8pm every day. I’m used to pools closing no earlier than 9pm, which is more typical.
