Sentinel Peak RV Park, Tucson, Arizona

PFR *****+++
Campground *****

This park is in the center of Tucson, close to all kinds of shopping and a lot of attractions.  It is a "parking lot" park, with only 23 sites & no real amenities, but perfect for what we want, and they love our dogs.

The sites are pretty level, black top, plenty wide and long, with dirt/rock that separate each site.

They have pot luck dinners on all the holidays that are really fun.

Bob & Trish came and stayed a month here with us, which was GREAT!

Mike had an accident on his bicycle on March 11, and broke his leg in 4 places, which delayed our departure by a month & 1/2.

Length of stay - A little over 3 months.  Left 5/14
Site #8 This is the largest site in the park.  We will be in the same site next year, 2/15 - 4/15.
$599/month peak months, $425/month non peak
No cable.  Decent antenna channels though.

This is a fine campground. It is out in the middle of nowhere, in the desert of West TX.  The sites are nice size, but not really level.  We had to put blocks under the right rear wheels.  The guy who checked us in, asked if we had pets, but did not ask how many.  We put out 3 xpens, and put all the dogs out at the same time.  No one saw them, so don't know for sure if they would have minded.

There is a small restaurant next to the office, the Roadrunner Cafe.  The food was good, but a little pricey.

Length of stay - 1 night
$31/per night with Good Sams

Palmetto State Park, Gonzales, Texas

PFR *****
Campground ****

This was a nice state park, with nice wide spaces.  There is only one site with full hook ups, which is the site we got, #2.  The site was level, with a blacktop pad.  There were a lot of trees, and since it is Winter, the ground was covered with leaves, so we got a LOT of leaves inside the coach.  Any of the other sites would probably have been just as good as this one.  The subject of dog did not ever come up, during reservation or check-in.  So, we put out all of our pens, and let all of the dogs out at the same time.

Length of stay - 1 night
The full hook up site was $20/night.  The other sites with electric and water were $18/night.  Plus $3 per person entry fee per day.
Site #2

Whispering Meadow RV Park, Westlake, Louisana

Campground ***

The sites at this campground are concrete and level, but the sites are pretty close together.  There is no privacy.

The guy that checked us in, did not ask about pets, but we did not feel comfortable letting them all out at the same time.  We didn't even make our usual yard, because there was a large area of sand, where they had filled in a tire trench.

Length of stay, 1 night
$35/per night
Site #18

Hollywood Casino RV Park, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi

PFR ****
Campground ****

All of the camp sites in this park are nice, level and wide, with a lot of grass between each site.  When I made the reservation, he did not even ask about pets.  The check-in was done all by phone.  As we arrived, a person who recognized us from the Discovery rally, told us that we shouldn't tell anyone how many dogs we have, as they have a 4 dog limit.  Not sure how he found that out.  So, we put only 4 out at a time, but if we park there again, we should go ahead and let them all out.  The only campground employee we saw, was a guy picking up the trash the next morning.

We were in site #39, but they all looked nice.

Length of stay - 1 night
$35/night

Pass Christian RV Park, Pass Christian, Mississippi

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

 This campground was SCARY!!!  Rednecks everywhere, and we swore we could hear banjos playing!  The sites were VERY close together. 

When we got there, I walked up to the "office", and opened the door.  But, it was dark in there, and all I saw was a bed.  Someone called the manager for me.  She came out of the "office", and I told her that we had decided to go on down to the casino to spend the night.

It was also VERY tricky getting in and out of the street that the campground is on.  It was so tight, that we almost ran off on the front, and almost hit a pole on the side.

This campground is adequate. Most sites are just dirt, but we got a concrete pad that was a handicap site.

No pet limit was listed, but they asked how many we had, so we told them that had 4.

Water & electric only. Only for 5 TV channels, but one of them was MeTV.

Site #25 (site #3 might have been a good dirt site)

Length of stay 1 night. $16 plus tax.
