I really REALLY appreciate all of the very specific feedback.
prstlk, just so that I understand are you suggesting that we stay at a campground 100 miles from headquarters? Wouldn't that mean hours of driving each day?
I don't mind driving a bit but to drive 3-4 hours a day just to get to and from the park seems like it might be a bit much.
I'm not super concerned with the amenities of the park other than full hook up and, maybe, clean bathrooms. I mentioned "resort" earlier because I saw one and was trying to find out the name of it.
Location is much more important. Two years ago we stayed at the campground 1 mile from the entrance to the Grand Canyon. IT was, in my opinion, a dump...but served a perfect purpose.
Thanks again! All of this information is so helpful!
