Mountain View RV Park - Sundance, Wyoming

 Campground ***
 
This is a fine campground for short stay.  The parking pads and roads are pea gravel, with grass between sites.  The pull-thru sites were plenty long for our coach and car, and comfortably wide.  We did have to put blocks under the front tires to get level.

We stayed here with Jim & Kathy, Tom & Toni, and Tim & Lynn on our way to the rally in Gillette, WY.  We really loved the little town of Sundance.

Site #37
$51.00 per night
Length of stay - 5 nights

Rock creek recreation area COE - Ozawkie, Kansas

 Campground **
 
 This park is miles away from any shopping.  Seventeen miles away from Topeka, but there are a lot of back roads before getting to a highway.  

We came to this park a day earlier than originally planned, for an eye doctor appt that Elwood had, in Overland Park (South of Kansas City).  Since it was an hour away from the campground, we parked the coach at a nearby Bass Pro Shops while we went to the appt, then came to the campground.

Our gravel site was not quite level, and raised about a foot higher than the yard area.  We were on an end site, with a large grassy area in front of and behind our site.  But, it was sloped quite a bit, and had a couple of washed out gullies.

The BIG thing that was bad about this campground is the HUGE Midge Gnat population!!!  It was torture taking the dogs out after dark the first night!  We put up our citronella torches, which helped, but they were still very bad.  They swarmed inside when we opened the door.  I had to change the gnat trap sticky pad every morning because it was so covered with them!  And, they stayed on the end of the slide next to the door, even during the day, and flew in.
 
Site #44
Length of stay - 9 nights
$10/night
We had to use the portable dish because the rooftop was not working right.

Cottonwoods RV Park - Columbia, Missouri

 Campground ****

We were able to get a reservation the day of our arrival at Cottonwoods. Our travel plans had changed at the last minute, and we were scrambling to find a spot for an overnight stop. We were placed in site 83, which was the site on the front row next to the office complex. It was much longer than our coach and toad, and we did not have to unhook. It was also very level. Our site had a large grassy area between us and the office, with a nice concrete patio, attractive landscaping, and full hook ups. The park has wifi, which we did not use. We weren't able to use our rooftop satellite dish because it was blocked by trees, but those trees did provide plenty of shade. The roads were easily navigable, but we had to be very careful pulling into the site because of the large boulders on either side of the gravel pad.
