KE Bushman's Camp - Bullard, Texas

PFR *****
Campground ***+

This is a nice RV park with paved streets & comfortably wide, long, level pull-thru sites.  The parking pads are 2 concrete strips with grass between them.  The grass between sites and in the parking pad is good Bermuda.

When we checked in, they did not ask about pets.  A guy saw us setting up the xpen yard and did not say anything, but nobody actually saw the dogs.

At check in, they asked if we were going to use our jacks.  Mike told her that we were, and she said they would bring us some boards.  As we were getting to our site, 2 ladies came with two 7-8' long 2"x12" boards.  They put them under the coach, across the grass, so the jacks would be on them instead of the grass.  The car was still hooked up, and the tires were partly on the grass.  I asked if the car was OK where it was, and they said it was.

As we were getting set up, a Mexican man drove up on golf cart.  He got out and started pointing at the car and the grass.  I thought he was telling us that we had to get the tires off the grass, but the few English words we understood, made us realize that he was telling us that we needed to back the car up about 12" because of water sprinkler heads.  Of course, we had to disconnect the car to do that.  When Mike moved the car, there were no sprinkler heads in sight.  So, we aren't really sure what he was saying.

Waggin' Tail Ranch RV Park - Pilot Point, Texas

PFR *****
Campground ***+

This RV park has fenced sites, which sounds great, but didn't actually work out as good as we had anticipated.  Almost all of the fenced sites are occupied by permanent residents.  The first site they put us in had so many holes and gaps under the fence that we would have had to use all of our xpens to make it secure.  The 2nd site was better, but we still had to use 4 xpens and 2 heavy DEF bottles to block possible escape routes.  There were a lot of areas with soft dirt piled up under the fence that would have been VERY easy to dig through.  It would have been SO much better if they had poured a concrete footer around the sites to put the fence on top of.  The fenced sites in the center of the park seemed to be much more level and probably would have been a lot better than the one we had.

The roads and parking pads are gravel.  The sites are just barely long enough for our rig, but are pretty wide.  The grass in our site was nice Bermuda, but there was a pretty large section near the door that was mostly dirt.  On mornings with a lot of dew, the dogs ended up with muddy feet.  There were also several stickers in paws the first few days.  It took me a few days to relax about not being able to see Pippi when she went under the rig and over to the other side.

Durant/Choctaw Casino KOA - Durant, Oklahoma

PFR *****
Campground ****

This is a nice campground, with wide, fairly level concrete parking pads and nice grassy area between the sites.  The sites are adequately wide, with some small bushes separating the sites.  We used 5 xpens.  They did not ask about pets.

The part of the park where we were did not have afternoon shade.  But, it looks like most of the sites in the rest of the park do have afternoon shade.

The casino is across the street from the campground.  There is a convenience store in front of the casino that has easy in, easy out diesel lanes.  There is also a large station across the street from that, that has truck lanes.

Abe's RV Park - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

PFR *****
Campground ***

This is basically a dump.  We couldn't get in at Roadrunner and Cynthia recommended this place since they stay here when in OKC.  The rest of the park actually isn't too bad.  But, where they put us looks like a mobile home park.  It is also VERY noisy since it is  right off of I-35.  Kathy & Jim stayed at Twin Fountains, which is about 6 miles to the South.  It is really nice, but more expensive.  $44/day.

Our site is fairly narrow, but big enough to put 6 pens out.  There is good grass in the yard.

Heart of Oklahoma Expo Center - Shawnee, Oklahoma

PFR *****
Campground ***

This is the RV parking for the Expo Center.  We stayed there during the National DOAI rally.  I was afraid we were going to have to park on the concrete RV parking area, but we got nice grassy sites.  The sites are actually fairly wide, for this type of venue, and they are FHU.  We had enough room to put out 6 xpens.

The only real downside to this venue is that there was a horse "rally" just prior to ours, and the manure smell was pretty bad the first couple of days.

Texarkana RV Park - Texarkana, Texas

PFR ***
Campground ***

This was a 1 night stop-over, headed to the Shawnee DOAI rally.  They seemed to be plenty doggie friendly.  They didn't ask us about pets, but someone else said they gave another camper dog biscuits for their pets.  But the sites are quite close together and the yard area is large gravel, with an 6' x 6' concrete patio in the middle.  We could only put out 3 xpens.

Pandion Ridge RV Resort - Orange Beach, Alabama

PFR **
Campground *****

This is a great resort, with a lot of amenities, and very nice sites.  The parking pads are level concrete and very wide.  There is also a wide grassy area between each site.  

We were here for a BRD rally and had a GREAT time!  But, they are not doggie friendly.  They have a 2 dog limit, so we could only put 2 out at a time.  The first day we put the xpens up and included a large area of the grassy area.  The 2nd day we were there, someone came by and told us that they would let us have the pens on the concrete, but not on the grass.  Kind of defeats the purpose, but we made it work.  We pulled the pen up onto the concrete, then when we let 2 dogs out, we would move part of the pen out onto the grass, then back onto the concrete when everyone was done.

We will be going back there for a few days at New Year, but only because Jim & Kathy will be there.  We will do the same thing then that we did this week.
