Camp Hatteras RV Resort - Waves, North Carolina (Outer Banks)

PFR *****
Campground ****

This was for a Blue Ridge rally.  The sites are nice & wide, and plenty long.  We got an end site, so we had enough room to put out 6 xpens, but we could have put out almost that many at a different site.  Nice grass.

Their web site said that they charge $3 per night, per dog.  But, they did not even ask about pets when Mike called to make the reservation, or when we checked in.

Site #386
$63/night ($48/night rally rate)
Length of stay - 5 nights 4/4 - 4/9
Cable - 60
Antenna - 9

RVacation RV Park - Selma, North Carolina

PFR *****
Campground ***

This is a nice campground.  The sites are level, and wide.  The site we had 4/9 was nicer than the site we had  4/3.  Would be nice for a weekly or monthly stay.

They did not ask about dogs during reservation call or registration.  They had a dog as a welcoming committee.  They also had a notice on the back of the campground map about a campground dog dying.

Site D4 was big enough to put out 5 xpens. Site H3 was big enough we could have put out all 7 pens.

They have good wifi and decent OTA, including Metv.

New Green Acres RV Park - Walterboro, South Carolina

PFR *****
Campground ****

This is a great campground!  The sites are VERY long and VERY wide!  They advertise that they have the longest and widest pull thru sites East of the Mississippi.  The sites are not paved, but they are pretty level.

They did not ask if we had pets.  Our site was large enough that we could have put out all 7 pens, but we put out 5.  The area for the pens is nice & grassy, with shade.

It is right off the highway, so there is some traffic noise when outside.

Site #25

Length of stay - 1 night 4/2
Cable - 61 channels
Antenna - 9 channels, including Metv
Satellite - Didn't try it, but probably too many trees
Wifi - None

Stagecoach RV Park - St Augustine, Florida

PFR *****
Campground **

The only thing good about this campground is that it is pet friendly.  I emailed them several weeks ago and they said that as long as we did not leave our pets outside unattended, they would not have a problem with the number we have.

Our site was a pull-thru, but there was a gully at the edge of the site that you have to drive over to get in the site.  The utilities are all at the entrance of the site, instead of near the center.  Had to use extensions for electric, water, and cable.

Our site would have been nice & wide, but our neighbor parked his truck on our side.

It is very expensive for what it is.

Length of stay - 1 night 4/1
Site #22
Cable - 25
Antenna - 37, including Metv

Escapees Sumter Oaks - Bushnell, Florida

PFR *****
Campground ***

Our site was REALLY tight to get into, and we could only put our awning out a few feet. It was the only site they had available when we called in November. But, it is large enough to put out all of our xpens and we actually ordered another one to make it bigger. OTA is VERY limited, with only 3 channels most of the time, but there is ABC and Grit.  Cell phone is mostly non-existent, but can get a signal occasionally.  Our mifi gets a pretty good signal though.

Even though there are some negative points, there are enough positives that we have booked a different site (41) for next winter, Feb, Mar, & Apr.  They LOVE our dogs, and the people are very nice.  We won't have the nice shade we have in this one, but we will be able to use our satellite dish.

Site #44
Length of stay - 2 months 2/1 - 3/31/17
$340/month plus electric
Water pressure 40#
