1/5/2012 Otter Springs Park and Campground, Trenton, FL Site 83

We had a large, dirt full hookup pull through site just a short walk from the springs. Our site had a picnic table and fire ring. Otter Springs Park and Campground is more than just an RV park. There are nature trails, an indoor swimming pool, a lodge, picnic area, two springs, and WIFI at the office. Everything was neat and clean and the office staff was very helpful. The nearest town is Chiefland where there are grocery stores, a Walmart, and a winery. Otter Springs is a short drive away from 2 state parks and several scenic drives. Although we were there during the winter busy season the park wasn't full.

This is a very nice park located just off of I-55 south of Springfield, IL. We had a long and wide pull through with full hookups and free WIFI at the site. There is a pool and putt putt golf. The laundry room is very small, only 2 washers and 2 dryers but clean. We did not use the bath houses so we can’t comment on them. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this park.

6/18/11 Newton KOA, Newton, IA Site 26

This is an older campground that just recently became a KOA. We had a long, narrow gravel pull through site with full hookups including free WIFI. The campground has a pool, playground, and laundry. We did not use the bath houses so can’t comment on them. The sites are very tight and the roads in the campground very narrow. The campground is located so close to I-80 that the traffic noise is very loud. It is so close to I-80 that we sat outside the camper and watched the traffic go by on the interstate. We practically had to shout to talk to each other.. There is a Walmart a couple of miles away and restaurants about 5 miles from the campground.

6/9/11 Buffalo River State Park, Glyndon, MN Site 2

This is a very nice state park. We arrived without reservations and picked our site which backed up onto the prairie. We had electric only at the site. Be sure to fill your fresh water tank before setting up. The site was a long, paved back in with grass all around and plenty of room between sites. We had a fire ring and a picnic table. The campground is shaded with a good number of trees. There is a swimming area within walking distance and a nice nature trail through the prairie.

6/7/11 Mina Lake SRA, Aberdeen, SD, Site 29

This is a small state park located near Aberdeen, SD. Our site was paved with electric at the site. Be sure to fill your fresh water tank at the dump station as you enter the park. There was hardly anyone in the park so we chose our site near the lake. The sites are surrounded by grass and there are plenty of trees for shade. The camp hosts were very nice and helpful. The closest grocery store is Kessler’s in Aberdeen. The park was very quiet and peaceful when we were there.
