Looking for a very specific kind of park

Here are a few we have visited that are in or very close to town:

Florala, AL: Lake Jackson City Park. A former state park, it is within walking distance of downtown.

Colquitt, GA: Spring Creek City RV Park. Very close to downtown.

Madelia, MN: Watona City Park

Ocean Springs, MS: Davis Bayou. This is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore and is one of our favorite spots.

North Conway, NH: Saco River Camping Area. All kinds of stuff nearby.

Kinston, NC: Neuseway Park

Sayre, OK: Sayre City RV Park

Edisto Beach, SC: Edisto Beach State Park. Another of our favorites.

Jonesborough, TN: Persimmon Ridge City Park

San Augustine, TX: Mission Dolores City Campground. A very nice park near town.

Port Townsend, Washington - Fort Worden State Park - get a beach site. Awesome!

Star Valley RV - Thayne, WY - nice flat biking on country roads

Cannesdo,

There are more than a few of these, but they are scattered and never in urban areas. We like them and map them as much as we can. Unfortunately, I would have to dig through at least a decade of log pages to find them all, but of late we have found them all by way of on-line locators and RVPark Reviews.

Last year we were alone in a park in SD and could not even find anybody to pay for the slip. We mailed them a check.

Whitehall Michigan is a touch on the smaller size but has a nice park in town. Forget the name of the park but I'm sure if you google it will come up.

We liked John Prince Park but the area is somewhat congested. You can ride around the non-campground portion of the park on your bike. The premium sites that back up to the lake have grass and huge banyan trees. Right next to a small airport, but I didn't hear any jets, just small planes.

There's a medical center almost in walking distance, restaurants and stores (grocery, liquor and Walmart) within 2 miles of the park.

We spend 2 weeks in November here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Enterprise rent-a-car picks up at the park. Municipally run, but the staff was helpful. Our site had an open ground (24 volts on the RV's skin) and they moved us to a nicer site.

Rapid, SD has one like that.

Anywhere in the country. Tidy park with lots of grass around the spaces and trees forming a canopy above right in a smallish town (15-30K. Like a city park or just an RV park that happens to be in town. Extra amenities not necessary. Just a nice park where I can get on my bike at night and ride around town.

Golden Clear Creek is missing the grass right around the RV's but it's a slice of Heaven in the small City of Golden, just outside Denver in the foothills of the Rockies.

We have Wintered there twice and LOVED IT!!

Town - Close - School of Mines across the creek - community center - Fields - Farmers market - library - Parks - it's the best we've ever enjoyed .......but it has been discovered harder to get into and usually full.

Hope this helps,
