Good online campground review website

I didn't like the new format on RVParkReviews at first either. But now I do exactly as 2gypsies does, and I find it very easy and helpful with the nearby cities listed also.
Since you posted this, I looked on the website and tried using the Search box. I agree that it's funky. What you have to do is type ONLY the city name, NOT the state. Then below it will show "Suggested Cities", meaning it will show your city in all the states where it appears (like Newport is in a lot of states, but Sedona is only in one state.) Then click on the one you want and you'll find the RV parks with reviews listed. What's even weirder is that underneath "Suggested Cities" it also shows SOME of the RV parks in that city in various states, so don't rely on that listing.

Anyway, I find the way 2gypsies and I use the website to be much easier...two clicks and you're there.

As for rvparkreviews being easy to move around: I guess maybe I could use a tutorial! I hate how hard it is, when I know where I want to go, to simply go to the site, key in the city and state I want to see reviews for, and get any hits at all! That NEVER works for me!?? Even if I only key in the state abbreviation it reports "nothing found" or words to that effect! That ridiculous! If someone could help get me past that fatal flaw.

All I do is click on the state on the map that first shows up or the state name from the list on the left side. Then all the cities that have campground reviews appear in a list on the left side. Click on the city you want. (Not all cities will have reviews). When you bring up the list of RV parks in that city, again, on the left, will be parks listed that are close to the city you chose. I can't understand why this doesn't work for you but hope it does next time. Good luck!

Hey thx. Keep those opinions comin' folks.

But for what it's worth:

I detest trip advisor for lots of reasons none of which have anything to do with RVing. I won't elaborate because I don't want to hijack my own thread.

I do agree of course that once you do find reviews you need to do a LOT of your own due diligence! Esp with respect to reviews that have good things to say about a place except they moan and bad mouth the place because they couldn't get good wifi or a cable or satellite TV signal, fer cripes sake! Gimme a break! You're camping, people!!! If having good wifi or tv is what you value most when you're in your rv, maybe RVing isn't how you should how you should spend a lot of your leisure time and money!

Anyway. Thx again for the idea of rv parky. Hadn't heard of that one. Gotta try it.

While we use RV Park Reviews, we also use RV Parky. RV Parky also has a good trip planning feature as well.

I'd trust RVParkReviews.com before Trip Advisor. We used RV Park Reviews for private and public campgrounds and the new format is super easy to get around. With any of them you have to weed the reviews out and take the average. Some folks give a bad review because the weather was bad. There is no one that is perfect. They're all subjective depending what you want in a campground.

TripAdvisor for me -

I'll be watching this thread. I have also found the new format much less easier to use. I'm interested in seeing what others have found.
