PFR **
Campground ***
This park is ok for an overnight stop, but I wouldn't want to spend much more time here, and it is as expensive as a nice campground. They have a 2 dog limit, so we had to just put 2 out at a time. Since we were only one night, we just put out 2 pens and didn't bother with the step lattice. We could have put out a few more pens, but the site is fairly small compared to most.
This park does not have water or sewer at the sites. Electric only. There is a water spigot right across from this site, and another one a little ways down the way before our site.
Wooded, but was able to get satellite with rooftop.
Site #32
Length of stay - one night
$32/night (Expensive for what it is)
OTA - 35 channels
Satellite - Got all 3 satellites with rooftop.
I keep this blog to keep track of campgrounds we have stayed in, for our own future reference. Prior to 7/15/22, at the top of each entry is PFR. That was my Pet Friendliness Rating, of one to five *. Five being best. Now I only rate the campsite. We used to travel with 10 small dogs, but sadly, we have lost many of our elderly dogs, and are now down to just 1. So, the multiple dog friendliness is no longer important to us. Prior to 11/1/19, we traveled with 6 - 12 dogs.

Escapees Turkey Creek RV Village - Hollister, Missouri
PFR *****
Campground ****
This is a great park. Not quite as large as Sumter Oaks. Some sites have shade, some don't. But, they all seem to have good grass, and are nice sized. We used 6 pens. The roads and parking pads are gravel/dirt. We did have to put blocks under the front tires.
This park is right on Turkey Creek, and close to Branson.
Site #H8
$120/week, and $20/night, plus $3/night for 50amp
Length of stay - 2 1/2 weeks
Satellite - Could not get signal on rooftop, and took several tries to get all 3 on portable.
OTA - Just a few
Water pressure - 40 lbs

Wildwood RV Park - Dexter, Missouri
PFR ***
Campground **
This RV park is a gravel parking lot with hook-ups. It is behind a storage facility and some other businesses. It has 22 sites, all pull-thrus. There are quite a few sites with full-time residents in them. But, it is clean and well maintained. Not bad for an overnight stay, but wouldn't want to spend more than 1 night here. We only put out 2 pens since we were here just one night, but could have put out a couple more.
The park office is inside the hearing aid business.
Site #13
$30/night
Length of stay - 1 night
Water pressure - 60 lbs
Satellite - All 3 satellites
OTA - 4 channels

7 Points Campground - COE - Hermitage, Tennessee (Nashville)
PFR *****
Campground ****+
This is a beautiful campground! Our site was directly across from the boat ramp parking lot, which actually gave us a really great view out our front windshield.
The interior roads look to be newly blacktopped, but they are a tad narrow, which made getting in and out of our site a little tricky, but not bad. The parking pad was level concrete, and there was a long driveway to park the car. The patio area was raised about 6" from the parking pad, with a railroad tie. The patio was really large, with a picnic table, BBQ grill, and fire pit. We only put out 5 pens, but could have put out all 7, and had room for more. There was also a lot of space between sites and behind ours.
There were too many trees to use the satellite, and didn't even try to set up the portable because we got 40 over the air channels. We got all the local channels, and many of our preferred channels.
We were only at this park for 2 nights, but would love to come back for a longer stay!
Site #40
Length of stay - 2 nights
$11/night with senior card

Duckett Mill Campground COE - Gainesville, Georgia
PFR *****
Campground ****
This COE is nicer than Sawnee, but not quite as nice as Bald Ridge. Our site has a nice, long, level concrete driveway and parking pad. The yard is the same aggregate as the other COE parks on Lake Lanier. This site's yard area is not quite as large as our favored site at Bald Ridge, but much larger than the site at Sawnee.
It took some doing, but Mike was able to find a place for the portable satellite to get all 3 satellites. This site is on the water, but doesn't actually have any water access. This site is pretty secluded.
Site #107
Length of stay - 2 weeks
$13/night
Satellite - None on rooftop, all 3 on portable (with some effort)
Water and Electric only
Water pressure - 60 lbs

Old Federal Campground COE - Flowery Branch, Georgia
PFR *****
Campground ***
This is a nice campground, with nice views from most sites, since most back up to, or are next to the water. Nice blacktop parking pads and aggregate patios, with picnic tables, grill, and fire pit. Our site was very level. We put out 5 xpens, but could have used 6.
This site does not have afternoon shade, and the trees nearby prevented rooftop satellite. But, it is an easy back-in. Got all 3 satellites with portable dish.

Oconee Point Campground COE - Seneca, South Carolina
PFR *****
Campground ****
This is our 2nd time at this park. Original review below. This site is nice with room for 5 x-pens. The ground is fairly loose dirt, but has nice afternoon shade. The patio area is pretty secluded.
It took a while, but Mike did finally find a place where the portable satellite picked up all 3 satellites.
When we first got here, the breaker kept popping. They came and replaced the breaker and it was fine after that.

This is a nice campground, and we really liked our site. We could have put out all of our xpens, but only put out a few for just the one night. Level back-in, with the packed soil yard, right on the lake (Hartwell). But the site next to this one (35) might be a better site because it had better afternoon shade.Site #36
