I totally agree with most all of your points. I tend to get to cg's right at dusk, it's unbelievable how hard some sites can be to find, much less back in to. I guess I'm lucky to have found several we really like, but they all tend to be 3 plus hours away. We're hoping to move to the NC mountains in the next few years.
The I section at the KOA in Boone is terrible and was where I got stuck. Narrow and no where to park my truck either. But some would say I'm being too picky......
You are not being picky. You are finding the campgrounds you enjoy to your taste. nothing wrong with that. I am the same. I am NC and I have "MY" best cgs. I have the best sites listed in each cg also so when I return I book them.
kinda nasty bathhouse I don't worry about. I use my camper. I am not a bathhouse person. my camper has it all and being self contained, even if no sewer, as long as they have a dump station I use our blue tote.
I was at Boone KOA a very very long time ago. It stunk then :) it wasn't clean with litter around, that 'petting zoo' was a smelly stinking area, scummy duck pond with poop everywhere and our site was lousey also. won't ever go back unless they do a major renovation. I have so many nice parks in my round to rotate that if it is not up to my personal standards I do not return.
the first trip to a cg you book online is the worst. only because it is a crapshoot what it will be like after looking at pics on the website. sometimes you are surprised how nice, others you say, nope not ever returning. chalk this one up to oops, bad call, and move on.
