PFR ****
Campground ***
This is a fine rv park for a short stay. We stayed here for 2 nights with BRD members on our way to St Louis. Our site was level, with nice grass between, and adequate space between sites. We used 4 pens, but could have used more.
The row of pull-thru sites they gave us were all "buddy" sites, and were very close to the noisy highway.
Site #59

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.

WaKeeney KOA Journey - WaKeeney, Kansas
PFR ****
Campground ***
This is a fine rv park, for short stays. The site was level and plenty long enough so we did not have to unhook the car (pull-thru). There was adequate distance between sites, with good grass. The day we were there, and throughout the night, it was WINDY!!!
We used just 3 xpens since we were just there overnight, but could have used more.
They would not let the pizza delivery person into the park. I had to stand up at the office and wait for them. It was after office hours, so it was closed. But, a guy on a golf cart saw me standing there and did not even ask me if I needed help, and did not ask if I wanted a ride to our site after the pizza came.
We stopped here with other BRD members on our way to the St Louis rally.

Heaton Bay Campground at White River National Forest - Silverthorne (Frisco), Colorado
PFR ****
Campground **+
This campground has nice, spacious sites, with asphalt parking pads and crushed rock yard surface. We used all 7 of our xpens. Our site was very level.
The scenery surrounding this campground is really beautiful! We also enjoyed watching the many chipmunks that live all around our site.
There are several negatives to this campground. It is at high elevation, just over 9,000', so the air is really thin. Just going up and down the steps to get the dogs out made us feel out of breath. Even though it was early Sept, it was really cold here a lot of the time we were here. Highs in the mid to high 60's and lows in the 40's. The sites in this loop are electric and water only. No sewer at the site, and no dump station in the campground at all! The closest dump station is 5 miles away! There are also bears in the area, so we had to be very careful about checking the area before we took the dogs out. There are no bath houses inside the campground. The only facilities are vault toilets.

Length of stay - 11 nights

Bear Creek Lake Park - Lakewood, Colorado
PFR **
Campground ***
This is a nice city run park, with beautiful views and large level sites. The yard and parking pads are dirt with some small gravel. The dirt was loose and if the dogs had not already been dirty from our site at Boyd Lake, they would have gotten dirty here. But, the main reason I am giving 2 stars, is that they have a 2 dog limit.
There were a LOT of tent campers at this campground.
One thing that was good about this place was that they have recycling bins for glass, plastic, aluminum, cardboard, and paper.
Site #37
Length of stay - 5 nights
$25/night
Satellite - All 3 rooftop
Electric only. Water spigot was nearby.
