Lately there has been a lot of interest in viewing photos of the sites that different campgrounds have to offer. Let's start posting them to this thread and if there seems to be enough interest, perhaps we can make the thread a permanent sticky.
If you have recently posted photos of this sort, please re-post them here. If you have new ones to share, please do!
Don't forget to label the photos: Campground name, site #'s if you know them, area of campground, etc.

**A photo width of 500 works really well.
I am taking the liberty of copying here some recent photos submitted by member 'marites62'.
Fishing Bridge - This is site 60 in the B loop - back-in, full hookups (It can be tough for long trailers and 5th wheels):
More of the same site:
Colter Bay Village - This is site 40, Pull through, full hookups. It is at the end of the loop which was nice.
More of the same site:

Just got our camper in October of 2011. Here are pics from our first 2 trips (weekenders close to home).
# 12 George Cossar State Park at Enid Lake in MS. It was Halloween weekend and the campground was packed. This site was not on the water. All the sites in this loop (Yocona) have water,elec & sewer. There is a bathouse with hot showers. Nice mature trees everywhere. I think we paid $20.
Wall Doxey State Park just south of Holly Springs MS. All of the sites in the newer back campground are heavily wooded. Sites have water & elec. There is a dump station. Clean bathouse with hot showers and the water pressure will blast your skin off. There is a lake in the park but not in the campground. I think we paid $18.
Love looking at everyone's pics! I am going to start a wishlist file of places to go camping.

Killens Pond, S of Dover, DE
Power only, lots of sites suitable for large rigs. We use this park often as our just after pickup from storage & last stop before storage park. All sites heavily treed, all flat, all enough separation room to be comphy.
Bukhrn, There are not many Deadhorse sites suitable for larger units. We had to overhang, unable to use stabilizers at the back, to have room for the truck unhitched. Minor inconveience. Well worth it. Sites are well spaced. There is an empty right in front of us. Our site is one of the highest in the CG hence the spectacular view.

Sycamore Lodge in Jackson Springs NC, site L3. It is a membership campground but you can use Coast to Coast to stay here. These pictures were taken in September 2011. The loop or L sites are the best sites on the whole campground and they book quickly.
Back of site, lots of pine needles on ground because it stormed really bad the night before, usually the sites are very clean.
Front of site. The site opens up about where the front of the trailer is, there is a nice cement pad w/ a picnic table behind the bushes.
Concrete pad area:

Catalina State Park - Tucson taken in November 2011.
This is a nice state park.
Most sites have water and electric. A few are without hookups.
It's very close to civilization but was quiet.
Sites and loops are paved.
The camping areas are on a very flat area of savannah grasslands with a scattering of mostly mesquite trees.
The Santa Catalina Mountains provide the background.
Loop A, which we prefer, has a more natural look.
Loop B has the feel of an RV park because the vegetation is kept cut down, and the sites are more in a straight row.
Our site, #A40:
GPS Coordinates: 32.42493, -110.92459

Of course 'camping' in a lowlying boatyard can have its challenges especially when you get an high full moon tide & wind blowing in the wrong direction.
Now this is a real DINGHY.
This has true meaning when we say our wheels have been from Atlantic to Pacific waters.
A couple inches short of full tide

View out of bedroom window first morning of spring 2011 trip
Not many RVers get to look straight at a boat & travelift. Got a warning from boatyard owner. "Stay out of the way or be launched."
The reason we come to this friends boatyard. A full workshop with anything we could possibly need.

Below are campground pictures from southern California we took in late October 2011.
Yucaipa Regional Park, Yucaipa, CA
This is a San Bernardino County park.
GPS Coordinates: 34.049238, -117.047245
Site #35
Full hookups, lot's of grass and trees. Level sites. Mountains in the background.
About 4 miles north of I-10, close to a suburban environment.
Morro Bay State Park, Morro Bay, CA
GPS Coordinates: 35.346670, -120.841840
Site #23
Water and Electric though many sites are without hookups.
Trees and large shrubs. Level sites. Close to water. Walking distance to restaurant.
Black Rock Canyon Campground, Joshua Tree National Park
GPS Coordinates: 34.07273, -116.39155
Site #25
No hookups. Loops paved but getting old. Sites are compact sand and are uneven.
Very scenic. You do not have to enter the park to get to this campground.
You do not have to pay the park fee on top of the campground fee.
Mayflower Park, Blythe, CA
This is a Riverside County park.
GPS Coordinates: 33.670198, -114.534024
We did not stay overnight. We just pulled in for lunch.
Sites are on grass. The hookup sites are clustered around utility poles servicing 4 RV's.
So you would be side by side and back to back with other RV's, where you would be very close.
Nice location right on the Colorado River.

Pine Flat Campground taken in September 2011.
GPS Coordinates: 35.01250, -111.73858
This is a Coconino National Forest campground north of Sedona, AZ.
There are no hookups. It's right off the road (AZ-89A), but night traffic is very light.
Sites and loops are paved. Most sites are uneven due to the terrain.
#28 on the west side was good with just a slight incline.
On the east side, sites 41, 44, and 50 looked level, but on site #50 there is a steep drive to reach the level parking pad.
