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.

Roadrunner RV Park, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

PFR ****
Campground ****

We moved to this campground, from the Rockwell RV Park after the JCCA specialty.  We didn't have a reservation, and we lucky to get their only space available.  All of the sites have a fairly level concrete pad, more than plenty long for our rig and car, with a fairly wide grass area between each site.

Their pet rules are the usual generic ones.  When I checked in, they asked how many pets.  I said 4.  She said they have no problem with that, as long as we keep them quiet and pick up after them.  We put up 4 xpens, but only put out 4 at a time during daylight hours.  I am going to try write to them & ask if they would have a problem with 10 show dogs the next time we are in town.

They are adding a new section of campsites.  Looks like they should be finished soon.

Length of stay - 2 nights
Site # 43

Rockwell RV Park, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

PFR ****
Campground ***

This campground is all crushed gravel, no grass.  The sites are fairly narrow, and only adequate length.  Our site had a tree on the awning side, which prevented us from being able to put our awning out more than just part way.  Of course, it rained part of the time we were there.

They didn't ask about pets, so we put all the dogs out at the same time.  But, it was crowded since our site was narrow and we could only put out 3 xpens.

I made the reservation online.  The form I filled out said online reservations would receive a 10% discount.  Elsewhere on the web site, it said that NO discount would be giving for online reservations.  But, it said that they did give a discount for Good Sam.  But, we realized later that even though we gave them our Good Sam card, we did not receive any discount.  And, at $40/night, it was over priced.

Length of stay - 2 nights
Site #71

Oasis RV Resort, Amarillo, Texas

PFR *****
Campground ****

Nice RV park.  Very large.   Paved streets, LONG pull-thru sites, that are wide and have a level concrete pad.  No grass, but there is a pretty good amount of gravel between sites for the dogs.  They didn't ask how many pets we have, just if we had any, and put us near the grass pet walk area.  We put out 3 xpens and put all of the dogs out at the same time.

Site #34
$34/night with Good Sam discount

Red Barn RV Park, Roswell, New Mexico

PFR *****
Campground ***+

This is a VERY small campground, only about 10 sites.  All of the sites are gravel, with some grass between.  Our site is a pull-in, with grass & dirt on the awning side.  It is actually a "pull-thru" because to get out we just open the gate in front of us and pull out onto the main street.  We are next to a fence with vines covering it, and some trees.  So, our dog yard is VERY private.  We put out all 5 pens.  The campground owner helped up set up, and saw Violet & Heidi at the RV door, and probably heard some others parking.  So, not sure how many she thinks we have, but the subject of pets was never discussed.

A LOT of flies.  The Roswell mascot is the fly. :)

The campground owner is, Lee, is VERY friendly.

As we were packing up to leave, I called Lee over to meet the kids during their final potty break.  She LOVED them!  So, there was no problem with having multiple dogs.

Site - 12
Rate - $27 per night
Length of stay - 2 nights

Dream Catcher Escapees RV Park, Deming, New Mexico

PFR  *****
Campground ***

This campground is a gravel lot, no grass, with a few small trees. The sites are level & plenty wide, but we had to unhook the car to fit in the pull-thru.

There is no wifi, unless you pay for it.  No cable.  Only a few antenna channels.  VERY windy!

But, they do not have a pet limit.  I even talked with the desk clerk and manager, as we were checking in, about how many dogs we have.  Xpens allowed.

Rate - $18/night
