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.

Here is our site from this weekend at Table Rock State Park near Branson Missouri. Nice site that is concrete and fairly level, has fire pit, lantern hook, and a picnic table. It also has full hookups including 50 amp, water, sewer. Facilities at the park include showers, playground and a marina that gives a discount on boat rentals for staying in the park. It is only about 20 minutes (or less) to the heart of Branson.
Below are some pictures in Arizona we took in February and March.
Cholla Campground, February 2012
This is a Tonto National Forest Campground at Roosevelt Lake, AZ.
Sites do not have hookups. There are flush toilets and showers.
We enjoyed this place.
GPS Coordinates: 33.73092, -111.20361
Site #38 in the Buckhorn Cholla loop:
Riverside Campground, February 2012
This is a Tonto National Forest Campground, downstream of Bartlett Lake, AZ on the Verde River.
It's about 23 miles east of Carefree, AZ.
Sites do not have hookups. There is a vault toilet.
We stayed here early in the week and it was empty.
Weekends are probably when big parties happen, based on all the litter around, including empty beer cans and broken bottles.
It might be a place to visit again, but the litter was a problem.
GPS Coordinates: 33.80897, -111.64787
Sites have a table and fire ring, but they are not numbered.
SB Cove Camping Area, February 2012
This is part of Tonto National Forest, on Bartlett Lake, AZ.
It's about 20 miles east of Carefree, AZ.
This is dispersed beach camping, an enjoyable experience. Find a spot you like and settle in.
You will find rock fire rings others have set up.
We stayed here in the middle of the week and had lot's of space.
At the entrance to the beach is a flush toilet.
GPS Coordinates: 33.86707, -111.61511
When the satellite images on Google Earth were taken, the water was over where we set up camp.
Cave Creek Regional Park, March 2012
This is a Maricopa County park in Cave Creek, AZ.
Loops and sites are paved. Sites have water and electric and come with a table and fire ring.
The park has flush toilets and showers.
They only have 38 sites. We reserved ours for a weekend stay.
Nice layout with Sonoran desert scenery.

Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, Lake Buena Vista, FL Site 1741 Full Hookup, W/E/S/C Right near comfort station - Feb 2012
The evolution of a campsite
We love Disney World and had our first trip to Ft. Wilderness this past January. Great place! I have to ask, though -- did you get any grief for having both the trailer and motor home on the same campsite?
Not at all, the rangers came by several times even and spoke with us and never mentioned it. We were within the boundaries of the site, we didn't have vehicles hanging in the road, or extra vehicles at the site, no issues.
We spent the weekend at Rock Cut State Park in the Plum Grove area on site 189 by the playground. Good for our kids, but I didn't love the kids behind us cutting through our site with their little dogs barely under control. That stuff doesn't usually bother me, but 5 year old girls with dogs did, it really put our dog on edge. Next time we'll stay in the same loop but not directly on the playground.
The grass was a bit long for our liking, but I think that's because the campground isn't 'officially' open until May 1st? I guess we'll see when we go back in June.

Nice site - big enough for our rig too!

Jellystone in Marion NC Site B12. The pic is a little blurry but the shot of the fire was strange.

Site #39 at Evergreen Rv Resort in Dundee Ohio. This may be the cleanest best run resort anywhere!
It ranks right up there! We love that place.
