Potato Creek State Park - North Liberty, Indiana

PFR *****
Campground ***

This is a really nice state park, and we have a great site!  I would have rated it higher if it weren't for it being electric only, and no discount.  It is pretty expensive, for no water or sewer.

Our site is very large.  It has a gravel parking pad and nice grass.  There is a large tree that provides some shade.  Afternoon shade is provided by the motorhome and awning.  The parking pad is not quite level.  We had to put 2 boards under the front tires to get level.  Even with the boards, the front end is quite high.  We used all 7 xpens, and there is still quite a bit of space between the pens and our neighbor's site.  There is a water spigot right next to our site, so filling our fresh water tank is not a problem.  But, the dump station is just short of a mile away, so pulling the portable tote there will take quite a while.

This is a VERY family friendly park.  Kids EVERYWHERE, and more bicycles than we have ever seen at a campground!  The group across from us occupied 5 sites.  Didn't even try to count the number of people, just too many. The people next to us had 9 people in a TT and were loud till way after 10:30.

The check-out time at this park is 2:00 every day except Sunday.  Sunday check-out time is 5:00!!!

Johnson County Park - Nineveh, Indiana

PFR *****
Campground ***

This is a nice little County park!  The sites in the section we are in, are fairly wide and plenty long enough for our coach, if backed all the way to the mid-point.  They are butt to butt back-in sites.  The gravel pad is wide enough for the coach and the car.  There is a good amount of grass between sites.  We chose an end site with a LOT of grass.  We could have put out all 7 x-pens, but since we are only here for 1 night, we only put out 4.  There are a few medium size trees.

The site they put us in when Mike called for a reservation was site 57.  It turned out to be just an electrical box in a concrete parking lot.  There were 2 other sites in that lot.  When we went to the office to check in, we asked if we could change to a different site.  The office is quite a ways from the campground.  We were afraid there might not be a place to turn around if we drove the motorhome all the way over to the office, so we disconnected the car and drove it over there.  There was a turn around area.

Water and Electric only
Site #9
$25/night
Length of stay - one night

Bowling Green KOA - Bowling Green, Kentucky

PFR *****
Campground ****

This is a really nice KOA, and of course, very expensive.  The pull-thru sites are wide and long, with good grass between sites, and a concrete patio.  The parking pads are gravel.  

There is a nice grassy park area that runs the full length of the pull-thru site area.

The only complaint I might have about this park is that all the pull-thru sites have full afternoon sun instead of shade.  Although, when we come back for the BRD rally in Sept., we will be in the end pull-thru site which is a buddy site, so our yard will actually be on the shady side.

Site #D405
$64/night ($57.60 with Value Kard discount)
Length of stay 1 night
OTA - About 15
Satellite - All 3
Water pressure  - 60 lbs
