Our favourite places to stay in the USA! part one

This is a list of our favourite campsites that we stayed at in the USA.

Fish Creek campsite,  Adirondack Park, New York.  Private waterfront lake sites, very woodsy, nice setting.

Fort Wilderness Resort, Disneyworld, Florida.  This campsite is on Disney property, extremely clean private sites, (bathrooms as nice as the Marriot), woodsy, nice setting, tons of activities, pool and hot tub, music, dancing, shows, fireworks, parade, decorations, free boat ride or busses to the Magic Kingdom, a wonderful experience!  We had just as much fun staying at the campsite as we did visiting all the theme parks!

Lake Rousseau, Crystal River, Florida.  Extremely friendly family run RV park, lots of activities, potlucks, bingo, dances, pool, lake, canoe rentals, great location.  We stayed here the longest amount of time and made many friends, Terry's dad liked it so much that he is going back in October for 6 months to be a "snowbird".

Pioneer Beach Resort, Port Aransas, Texas.  Nice beach front RV park, lots of activities, potlucks, dances, bingo, etc.  Free bus into downtown, friendly people, beautiful beach on the Gulf of Mexico.

Bentsen Palm Village RV Resort, Mission, Texas.  Beautifully landscaped RV park in the Rio Grande Valley, right beside the Rio Grande river, bordering to Mexico.  Extremely friendly people, tons of activities, bingo, potlucks, Margaritia nights, woodshop (I made a bowl), pool and hot tub, dog park, right beside the World Birding Headquarters.  ATV rentals, free bikes and kayaks, pontoon boats.

Oliver Lee State Park,  Alamogordo, New Mexico.   A wonderful oasis located in the Chihuahuan desert,  full of birds, lizards, rabbits, coyotes, and lots of different plants ( Mesquite trees, creosote trees, agave plants and cacti).  Nice campsites including water and electric for only $14 per night!

Rock Hound State Park, Deming, New Mexico.  Located at the base of the Flo-rida Mountains in the Chihuahuan desert.  A great spot to find geodes, thunder eggs, agates, jasper and many other rocks.  Great campsites serviced for $14 per night.  Star party at the visitors center, hiking, lots of wildlife and plants.  Great place!

Wells Fargo RV park, Tombstone, Arizona.  Located right downtown Tombstone, right beside the OK Corral!

Rest stop on Hwy 191, Apache National Forest, Arizona.  We took the winding twisting route on 191 through the Apache Forest and spent the night at the summit of 10,000 ft at a large pull out rest stop.  Spectacular views, road not advised for vehicles over 40 ft long!

stay tuned for part two with more of our favourite camping spots in the USA...

  1. Thanks for the reviews. My wife and I like to camp and hope to go on the road fulltime within the next 3 or 4 years after we retire. The info on the various parks is very interesting. We will be following your travels.
