10 83 RV Park / North Llano River RV Park - Junction, Texas

 Campground *

This park was awful.  They changed owners between the time we made the reservations, and our arrival.  When we arrived, they claimed that they didn't know that we were in big rigs, and had trouble getting us into sites long enough.  The roads and parking pads were level gravel.  Our site had a pergola, picnic table, and chairs.  But, the "yard" area between the sites had TERRIBLE sticker problem!!  They were everywhere!  We also had an infestation of termites in the landscape timbers on the edge of our site.

Fort Stockton RV Park KOA - Fort Stockton, Texas

 Campground ***

 

This is a nice, clean campground.  The roads and parking pads are small gravel and level.  The sites are wide and plenty long enough for coach and car.  There is nice grass, concrete patio and picnic table on the awning side.

 

They have a small restaurant on site, that is quite good!

Pine Ridge RV Park - Ruidoso, New Mexico

 Campground *

 

This is a horrible park!  They should not accept reservations for big rigs.  The roads are dirt and have a lot of ruts and washed out areas.  The site we were in and the site that Tim & Lynn were in were up a pretty steep incline between the road and the parking pad.  The owner of the park had to put boards under our rear tires to raise the rear, so that we wouldn't scrape the ground as we drove up it.  However, once into the site, it was very level.  The sites are very narrow.  We were just a couple of feet away from our neighbor's trailer.  The parking pad and "yard" area is large gravel.

 

Getting out of our site was VERY tricky!  It was tricky for most of our group, but particularly for us.  A tree, a hill, and washed out gully.

Tucson Lazydays KOA - Tucson, Arizona

 Campground ***

 

This is a nice, clean campground.  The sites are comfortably wide, level gravel, with paved streets and paved car pad next to the RV pad.  Our pull-thru site had a large lime tree at the rear of the site.  We had to pull the motorhome forward farther than we would have liked, in order to put our awning out.  The passenger slide ended up only inches away from the tree limbs. 

 

Some of the sites are under large solar panels, but there is no satellite signal under them.

Pueblo El Mirage RV Resort - El Mirage, Arizona

 Campground ****

 

This is a really nice, huge resort.   There are a lot of deeded lots that are clean and well kept.  The streets are asphalt, which are soft in the heat.  Our car and motorhome tires made impressions in it.  The sites are pretty wide and long.  The parking pads are pea gravel.   We did have a little trouble getting level.  There is a nice concrete patio with a concrete table.  The car pad is concrete blocks.  The sites are a little tricky getting into because of the palm trees, but they had 2 guys guide us in.
