And those would never qualify for my list as those areas are way too hot.

Point is everyone has their own particular preferences...and people are just sharing what they like. They don't necessarily know what you like.

I'm sorry, people, but it has to be full hookups at the minimum and there is no way a KOA (keep on adding) would ever qualify for best ever in my book. We are in our 7th year of being fulltime and have stayed in some very nice parks and some not so nice out of necessity. My main requirements are good voltage, good water pressure, level site and ability to get satellite signal. We don't need swimming pool, hot tub, etc. Mine would be Advanced RV Resort in Pearland Texas, Valle Del Oro in Mesa Arizona, Tom Sawyer's Mississippi River RV Park in West Memphis Arkansas, and Coastal Georgia RV Resort in Brunswick Georgia.

Just left it, for views Glacier Basin RMNP, no hookup but the mountains and elk at the campsite make it worth it

My favorites, wouldn't hesitate to return to.

Wheeler Peak campground, in Great Basin NP. At almost 10k elevation, nicely cool even in the heat of the summer, hike to the only glacier in Nevada, gorgeous views.Wheeler Peak campground, in Great Basin NP.

Many Glacier, in Glacier NP. Camping in the heart of Glacier, streams, lakes, mountains so close you can reach out and touch them.

Any campground in Denali NP. For that matter, any primitive campground in Alaska.

Tie Flume NF campground, Wyoming, in the bighorn mtns. Granite outcroppings, forest, stream, just beautiful.

Horsethief Lake NF campground, literally next to Rushmore. Not to be confused with the commercial Horse Thief campground. Very scenic, on a lake, Rushmore is hike able. If you can get in, and do without hookups, stay here.

Actually, there is a glacier in the Ruby Mountains in Nevada. Great campground there called Thomas Canyon. Clean vault toilets, rushing streams, water, garbage, pull throughs or double sites, fabulous views, awesome hosts

My favorites, out of the 38 states we've camped in, not necessarily in order: A)Union Bay, near Ontanogon Mi on Lake Superior B)Canyon Pines RV Resort near Riggins,Idaho C) Energy Lake,at Land Between the Lakes, KY D)Baxter State Park in Maine E) Canaan Valley SP in West Virginia F) Mohican SP in Ohio G) Black Hills, South Dakota H) Glacier NP I) Arches NP J) Ruby's Inn @Bryce Canton NP

We've got a few favorites. Here's one -- Belle Fourche Campground in Devils Tower National Monument. It's often the site of our first and final camping outings each season -- once in the spring when it's too cold in the Bighorns and once in the fall when it's too cold for the Bighorns.

It's got no hookups, and I think all the "fire pits" are now grills on pedestals, but it's usually quiet, clean, shady and serene. My wife says it feels like a sacred place, what with the American Natives considering it such.

Our other favorites? They're already getting too busy for me to advertise. But if it's 8,000+ feet in elevation, has few sites but lots of tall pines, big spaces and a mountain stream bordering each camp site, it's probably a favorite. ;)

Yes. Belle Fourche is very peaceful. We stayed years ago, but in a tent.
