Williams AZ Circle Pines KOA

Williams Circle Pines KOA
Williams, AZ.
Happy Camper Rating  9/10

The Williams Circle Pines KOA in Williams, AZ. was a wonderful family orientated campground. We enjoyed many of the amenities. There were plenty of activities for the kids to do and we felt like they were safe and could enjoy independence while there. We swam in the indoor pool, played mini golf, ate at their outdoor restaurant called Bear Trax and played some of the arcade games. They also had a playground, pedal car track, tv room and laundry mat. At the end of this year they should be finished with their go cart track currently under construction. The campground is shaped like a huge circle. I enjoyed walking the grounds in the evening to get some exercise. Our camp neighbors were very nice and had a young boy about the same age as our little ones. Each camp had a fire pit and picnic table on site. It was beautiful to sit outside in the evening and see everyone enjoying their camp fires and enjoy each others company. The large trees helped shade the camp and gave the environment a cozy feel. Circle Pines trucks in their own water so we had to be very water conscious but that was easy to work with. We all really enjoyed this camp and would recommend it to those traveling to the Grand Canyon.

Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort

Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort
Las Vegas, Nevada
Happy Camper Rating 10/10

This campground was more than an RV Park, it was a stunning Resort. The Resort is located just off the main road within walking distance to Target, Kohl's, restaurants and strip mall. The Resort had a mom and pop diner just outside the front gates for campers and general public. The menu looked delicious but we didn't partake in meals at the resort. They had front gate security around the clock. It was immaculate and beautifully landscaped. We had full access to the club house with beautifully designed bathrooms and main swimming pool with a central stone hot tub. There are also 2 other pools located on opposite sides of the Camp. Each Camp site was equipped with a stone drive, patio, grill and outdoor dining set. It was very quiet there. There was very little thru traffic and plenty of shady trees to reduce sun and noise. We had about a 15 minute drive to the Las Vegas Strip. We loved staying at this park. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. ROUGH'N IT!

Fillmore, Utah KOA

Fillmore, Utah KOA
in Fillmore, Utah
Happy Camper Rating 8.5/10

We stayed the night at Fillmore, Utah KOA just off Interstate 15. Fillmore was the first state capital of Utah. The Camp had beautiful mountain views. The sun doesn't set until after 9pm so we were able to enjoy some swimming and outdoor cooking before getting to bed. We had a long day of driving. Our lot had a fire pit and picnic table on site. Our lot neighbor gave me a kind reminder that there are black widow spiders hanging around. Chandler grabbed a flashlight and thoroughly inspected our picnic table before taking a seat. The pool is brand new and has a tall privacy block wall. The pool and hot tub are small in size but the camp isn't very big and I believe it is a good size for guests to cool off in. The main building and restaurant were inside a beautifully maintained log cabin. Over all the camp ground was very clean and well maintained. Probably the cleanest gravel camp we have been to yet.

Rocky Mountain RV Park

Rocky Mountain RV Park
Gardiner, Montana
Happy Camper Rating 8.5/10


We stayed at the Rocky Mountain RV Park in Gardiner, Montana during our visit to Yellowstone National Park. The town had plenty to do. You could walk downtown easily for groceries, dining, shopping or to partake in the beautiful views. The RV Park itself had mini golf, small gift shop, dog yard and small cabins. They have showers, laundry and social bonfire in the evening. Each spot is provided a nice picnic table. Everyone at the park was friendly and the staff seemed to live there or within the vicinity. The views from the park were amazing.  At night the campers were out with their binoculars looking off into the mountains. I can only assume they were wanting to see the animals come out at dusk to hunt. The weather is confusing, 34 degrees in the morning and 70 degrees during the day. Dressing in layers is key. I would stay there again, the location was enjoyable for all of us.

Mt. Rushmore KOA

Mt. Rushmore KOA
Happy Camper Rating 8.5/10

As we depart, we want to take a minute and rate our Campground for future campers.

We stayed at Mt. Rushmore KOA in Hill City, SD.
Situated in a remote area centered between Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse, the views were remarkable. The camp is about 10 minutes from Keystone major attractions and shopping. We loved all of the amenities available to campers. Very family friendly environment and friendly service. The Full service spaces were well situated. The KOA had a general store, small fast food and sit down dinner restaurant. For adults there was wine tasting, live music and bar/grill. Each lot had fire pit and picnic table. Family attractions include pool, hot tub, splash pad, mini golf, rock climbing, moon bounce, bounce houses, panning for gold, water slide, pancake breakfast, carriage rides, horseback riding, basketball, giant chess board, ping pong, car rental, golf cart rental and bike rental. We didn't partake in all available but really enjoyed the fact that everyone around us was having a wonderful time.

We dared Carmen and Colin to jump in the Lake with their clothes on! 
Yep, didn't have to ask them twice.

Mommy and her boys.

Charlie excited to go swimming. Big HUGS!

Carmen was very amused by these random turtles everywhere. 
This poor guy didn't see her coming. Sorry Dude. He peed a little. 
The turtles were digging holes everywhere in preparation to lay their eggs.
  WATCH OUT FOR THE SNAPPERS!

 The look you get when the men contemplate going swimming. 
Nope, it didn't happen.
