 PFR ****
Campground ****
 
This is a nice campground, with long, level gravel sites, concrete patio with picnic table.  The sites are comfortably wide, with nice grass between sites.
 
The only bad thing about this park is that there it is out in the middle of nowhere.  Not much around.

McKinney Campground COE - Acworth, Georgia

 Campground ***
 
This is a really nice COE park, with wide, level sites, and really pretty.  Very densely wooded, so good shade, but was so many trees, we could not get a signal with even our portable satellite dish.  We did get several OTA channels, but not all of the network channels.  So, we did a lot of streaming in the evening. 

The water supply hose at the dump station had a fixed hose, with a nozzle on the end, so could not attach our hose to the black tank flush system.

Site #61
Length of stay - 8 nights
$15/night
Water & Electric only
Only OTA channels and streaming

I-75 RV Park - Tifton, Gerogia

Campground **

This was just an overnight stop, so weren't expecting much, since it was right off I-75.  It is a very small, no frills park.  Looks like most of the sites are occupied by long term monthly residents.  None of the sites are long enough for us to not unhook the car.  We actually had to pull the car next to the RV because it wasn't long enough to park sideways behind or in front.  Our site was not level.  We had to put several wood blocks under the front jacks and never did get completely level.  But, we were level enough to put the slides out.

Site #6

Length of stay - 1 night

Rate - $32.00

FHU

There is cable, but we did not hook up to it.

Sherwood Forest RV Resort - Kissimmee, Florida

PFR ***
Campground ***

This park is a Thousand Trails park that is a combination of owned, long-term, sites with park models or cottages, and short-term RV sites.  Some of the park models are not well cared for, others are.  The cottages look pretty new and are very nice.

Our site was an RV site between 2 long-term park model sites.  They were both fairly well cared for.   Our site backed up to a small pond.  When we arrived, there was a 2' alligator at the edge of the water, which made me a little apprehensive about taking the dogs out at night.  I worried about the mom or dad being underneath our motorhome.

Our site was all grass, but was very level, and comfortably wide.  We could not get satellite with the rooftop, and didn't put out the portable because of our short stay.  We got quite a few OTA channels and also connected to the park cable.  But, the park cable was not all that great.  We had a very poor signal for our Wifi, even with the booster.  Hard to even do facebook.  Didn't even try to stream anything.

They list a 2 pet limit, but the rules stated that it was up to the management to allow more.  But, xpens were not allowed.

Site #37
$63.50/night
Length of stay - 2 nights
Satellite - None with rooftop, didn't try with portable

Ho-Hum RV Park - Carrabelle, Florida

 PFR ****
Campground ****

This park is right on the Gulf coast.  Some of the sites are right at the edge of the water, separated only by a bank of large boulders.  The entire park ground surface is made up of crushed rock.  Most was comfortable to walk on.  The sites are fairly narrow, but level.  We could only put our awning out 1/2 way without touching our neighbor's slide.  There is a 250' fishing pier.

Even though this is a no-frills park, and there is nothing much around to do, we really enjoyed our time here.  There was a variety of shore birds that came to visit often.  The changing tide was interesting to watch.  Mike enjoyed fishing off the pier, but didn't catch anything.  At times, the shoreline was way out by the end of the pier.

They do not have a pet limit, and have just the standard pet rules.

Site #43, right on the shoreline
$44/night, weekly rate
Length of stay - 1 week
Satellite - All three with rooftop

Camper's Inn - Panama City Beach, Florida

 PFR ****
Campground ***

This is an OK campground for a few nights, but wouldn't want to stay long term.  The sites are fairly comfortably wide, but not very long.  The parking pads and streets are asphalt.  There is a nice concrete patio and good grassy yard. There was barely enough room to park our car sideways across the front of our site and be out of the road.  So, everyone's cars are right out by the street, which makes it seem very crowded.  The palm tree on our site was so close to the parking pad that we could not put our awning out at all, and was actually only a few inches from our slide.  The tree was in poor condition, and looked like it could fall on our coach with just a little wind.

They do not have a pet limit, and there was enough room on our site to set up 5 xpens, but the palm tree on our site dropped a LOT of berries, that Sally found quite tasty.  I googled, and they are not toxic.

Site #51
$54.95/night
Length of stay 3 nights
