Casey KOA - Casey, Illinois

 PFR ***

Campground ***

 

This is the first KOA we have ever been to that does not allow pet fencing, which is the reason for the 3 stars.  They don't have a limit.

 

The sites and roadways are pretty tight.  Our pull-thru is just barely long enough for our 41' rig and toad.  The front of the rig is pulled all the way to the edge of the road, and can just barely get the car pulled in, out of the road.  A neighbor 2 sites down had to ask the people across the street to move their car, and still had to pull across the front part of their site to get out.

 

Site #1

$49.46/night with KOA discount

Length of stay - 2 nights

Had to use the portable satellite, and finally got all 3 satellites.

 

 

RV Self Park - Sullivan, Missouri

 PFR ***

Campground ***

 

This is an unusual park.  There are no attendants, and no office onsite. You make your reservations online, and tell them what time you will arrive.  When you arrive, an electric eye lets them know you are there, and the electricity and water are turned on, and you are allowed access to the sewer connection.  The sites and parking pads are very narrow.  The grass strip between sites is only about 5' wide.  We set up just 2 xpens.  It is ok for just an overnight.

 

You can reserve the site for 14, 18, or 24 hours.  Or multiple days.  We reserved for 24 hrs.

Site #12

$44 for 24 hours

Length of stay: 1 night

Satellite - All 3 using rooftop

Maumelle Park COE - Little Rock, Arkansas

 PFR ****

Campground ***

 

This is a very nice park, with nice shade and large, grassy sites. There is a large crushed rock patio area, with a concrete picnic table. Our site was fairly level, but did have to use the portable step.

 

There are several campers in our loop that are draining their grey water on the ground.  Can't find anything in the rules about it.

High View Park COE- Ennis, Texas

 PFR ****

Campground ***

 

This park is nice, with large, grassy sites.  The parking pad was long, but not quite level, so the front end of the coach was pretty high off the ground.  The original site we were booked into, site 14, was very low in the back, so would have taken a lot of boards to level.  The lake was at flood stage, and more rain predicted, so they moved us to site 10.

The road leading to the exit was VERY bad.  It had a LOT of very large, deep pot holes.

Site #10

$8/night

Length of stay - 1 night

Water & Electric only

Satellite - Couldn't get any satellites, probably due to heavy cloud cover.

OTA - 50+ good channels

 

 

Pace Bend Park (Travis County Park) - Spicewood, Texas

 PFR ***

Campground **

 

We stayed in this park to attend Nick's wedding.  

 

This is a small County park that has only 20 sites.  The sites are a comfortable distance apart, but not huge.  The parking pads are concrete, with small rock & grass on the side yard.  We had enough room for 5 xpens.

 

The bad think about this site is that the front is a little low, so the front end of the coach was high up off the ground.  Then the parking pad was several inches above the ground level.  So, it was quite a climb to get up the steps, even with our portable step on it's highest setting.

Site #1

$38.50/night, including day passes

Length of stay - 4 nights

Houston East RV Resort - Baytown, Texas

 PFR **

Campground ****

 

This is a very nice campground, with nice wide sites, and even some covered sites.  The grass between sites is very lush and green.  But, they do not allow pet fencing.  We didn't see a pet limit listed in the rules, and they didn't ask how many we had.
