I use AdBlock on Chrome; it is available for FireFox also. I never see ads on any site. There were ads on the old RVPR site, but I never saw them.

I'd like to see the last 10 scores displayed, as they were previously, instead of just the last 5. When I'm scheduling trips, either for myself or for a group, the first thing I like to do is average the past 10 scores to get an idea of whether I even want to consider a campground.

I'm not sure where you're seeing "5" scores". If I do a campground search I get a list of CG's with just the calculated average score displayed (we didn't have an average before). If you look at the listing for a particular park, the average is at the top of the page and all the individual reviews are accessible to you.

Please explain where the "5" issue comes in; it may be a screen I haven't yet explored.

For me the new map interface is the key, a real improvement.

However I feel the map is too small, it would be nice if there were some way to increase the size vertically. If I make my browser full, screen I see more of the map horizontally but the vertical size does not change. If you could double the height of the map it would be a lot more useable.

two problems I tried to do a review from March 2014 and date field would not let be go back that far.

Search at the top of the first page does not work IE I put in Redway, Ca

You can't submit reviews for stays more than 6 months old. That was a rule before, but the website didn't automatically reject them (but the admins did if they noticed). Now the website stops the submission.

The search bar will work if you put in just the city name without the state. It will return a list of matching cities. This is probably going to be changed because it is rather unpopular.

I like that you can click a state on the map and it opens a Google Map with tags for the individual campground as opposed to the "old format" of just a city. From where I'm sitting, I think this'll make planning a bit easier.

The whole interface is much more broad; you can indicate "was this review helpful Yes/No" and applaud each review(er) and it is way easier to read and navigate!! I had to send RVParkReviews a BIIIIG Kudo e-mail to congratulate them on their improvements!

We use this site a lot when we're traveling. High Five on the new roll out. Well done.

I know "before" the visit had to be within the last 6 months, I assume that is still true

I think it looks great. I test checked a few campgrounds and found what I was looking for. Probably take a few uses to get totally comfortable,but is a very clean modern website. Good Job!

We have thousands of negative reviews posted. Many negative reviews recount a particular incident. All we ask is that all reviews contain information useful to others about the park IN ADDITION to recounting the incident which you are reporting. That way your review is helpful to others even if they don't encounter the same problem you did.

When I click on that link all I get is "Whoops, looks like something went wrong." Tested with Firefox and IE, same result in both browsers.

It may have been taken down briefly during the night, but it is back up now.
