PFR *****
Campground ****
This is a really nice COE park. They did not even ask about pets. We got a great curved concrete pull-thru site, with the xpen side facing a large semi-private grassy area.
VERY spotty phone and text signal, but got pretty good reception on the mifi, and got several antenna TV stations including MeTV.
Length of stay - 1 night
$11.00 with discount card
Site #25
I keep this blog to keep track of campgrounds we have stayed in, for our own future reference. Prior to 7/15/22, at the top of each entry is PFR. That was my Pet Friendliness Rating, of one to five *. Five being best. Now I only rate the campsite. We used to travel with 10 small dogs, but sadly, we have lost many of our elderly dogs, and are now down to just 1. So, the multiple dog friendliness is no longer important to us. Prior to 11/1/19, we traveled with 6 - 12 dogs.

Northgate RV Travel Park - Athens, Alabama
PFR *****
Campground ***
This is a fine campground for an overnight stay. Sites are pull thru and just barely long enough for the RV and car (with bike rack) to not unhook car. Sites are gravel with grass between. Our site was pretty narrow near the front, with only about 5' of grass between the edge of the gravel and the next site. There is a little more near the back. Some sites had more grass space, but we would not have had any shade. Our shade was created by the MH. There are no trees.
We did not make a reservation. When we pulled in a little after noon, there were only 2 other RVs in the park. As evening approached, a few more rigs pulled in.
They never asked anything about pets. We put out all 5 xpens. One of the staff was working on a tractor a little ways away and I'm sure he saw all of the dogs when they were out. He did not come over or say anything.
Length of stay - 1 night
$30/night

Grand Ole RV Resort - Goodlettsville, Tennessee
PFR *****
Campground ****
This is a nice park, with gravel parking pads and grass between. The sites are pretty wide. We were able to put out all 5 xpens, with plenty of room.
Even though we are very close to Nashville, we don't get many TV channels. Don't get MeTV.
They did not ask about pets when I made the reservation, and did not ask about pets when we checked in.
We spent a week here with Bob & Trish. They were in the site next to us, #10.
This park is right next to some railroad tracks with frequent trains. We were pretty close, but it didn't really cause any problems. Just a little loud sometimes when trying to have a conversation outside.
There is a cafe in the campground office.
Length of stay - 7 nights
Site #9
Rate - $34.50/DAY $207.00/WEEKLY

Bald Ridge Creek COE - Cumming, Georgia
PFR *****
Campground ****
This is a COE campground on Lake Lanier. Sites have electric and water, but no sewer. The sites are angled and very spacious. There is a level concrete pad with crushed gravel/dirt yard area. Our site has a nice view of the lake, but is one of the very few that doesn't have any shade until late afternoon/evening.
Since we were here for 2 weeks, we had to use the bath house. It was kept very clean.
They do not have a pet limit. One of the camp hosts came by on her golf cart one night, and loved seeing them.
Site #6
Length of stay - 14 nights
$12.86/night with the National park senior pass

Little Tallapoosa Park - Carrollton, Georgia
PFR *****
Campground ****
We have stayed in this park several times. There are photos of some of the sites below. Most recent is 5/17 - 5/24/21.
This is a County park. There are no pet restrictions. We even told the lady who made our reservation how many dog we have, and she was fine with it.
The sites are nice width, and most are long enough for big rigs. Black top pads, with a sandy yard area, surrounded by grass. Most sites have trees, but not all provide shade. Our site, #2, seems to be one of the best sites available.
The park is very quiet. The only problem we have encountered is that there are a lot of ants in our yard area.
There is a walking/biking path in the park. Part of it is right next to site 2.
Length of stay: 3 weeks
Site #2
Rate: $24/day with senior discount
Site #7 9/26 - 10/10/16 This site is a pull-thru and is probably better than #2.
This is site #5. We stayed here 4/16 - 4/27/19. This is a nice level site, with good xpen area, and great afternoon shade. It was hard to find a place for the satellite dish, but Mike did find a place that picked up all 3 satellites, on the parking pad behind the coach. This site had VERY low water pressure when we first arrived, 20 lbs. We filled the fresh water tank and used it. Then, when Mike was refilling the fresh water tank a week later, the water pressure was 60 lbs.

This is site 18. We stayed in this site 5/17 - 5/24/21. It is a nice, level site. Plenty of room for a nice x-pen yard, although it has to be routed around the fire pit. Did not have to use the portable satellite dish. Got all 3 using rooftop.

Lakeside Landing Marina & RV Resort, Cropwell, Alabama
PFR *****
Campground ****
This is a nice campground. It is first come, first serve. They had several spaces available when we arrived. The spaces were all pretty level gravel & grass, with a nice size shade tree between each site. There is a raised concrete patio pad which kept us from being able to put out more than 3 pens, but it was plenty of room for just one night. They did not ask if we had dogs.
This is the week before Memorial Day, so they are charging their holiday rate all week. The normal overnight price is $30. ($35 for waterfront)
$45.00/night (With tax $50.05)!!
Site #38
Length of stay 1 night

Old Post Road Park COE, Russellville, Arkansas
PFR *****
Campground ****
.
When we checked in, they asked how many dogs we had. Mike said 4 Japanese Chins. The lady got excited and wanted to see one. So, I brought Violet in for them to see. She and her husband thought she was very sweet and beautiful. We didn't tell them that we had more than what we originally told them. I don't know if that actually have any kind of limit. When we got set up, we went ahead and put all of them out at once.
All of the sites are very wide, and some are VERY long, concrete pads. The site we have is about 80' deep, with a LOT of green space between our site and the neighbors, and nice shade. Our site was pretty level, but we did put boards under the rear tires.
The only bad thing about this site is that during the day there are NO antenna channels that are watchable. At night, we were able to get 3 channels. Grit was one, so we watched it.
Site #B16
$10/night with National Park pass
Length of stay 1 night
Judith Reese stayed at this campground in site B30 (photo below). It has a river view. She said she thinks that B20, 21, & 22 are the best sites, but I don't think they have the shade we had in B16.
