I have been posting reviews on Campground Reviews for many years but lately I have been frustrated by the lack of a good filters for features like Big Rig Friendly, Sewer, etc on that website. I have been patiently waiting for them to resolve the search feature for several years now since they "improved" their website, but I have started to use RVParky much more frequently because the filters and maps are so much more helpful. It does seem like Campground Reviews has more reviews so I'll flip back to that after I find some campgrounds of interest. So my question to those of you who POST reviews, not just read them, where do you post your reviews? One or the other, or both or somewhere else? Thank you for your time.

I have used Campground reviews for years and continue to do so. I'm puzzled by some of your comment, sewers are addressed below the main comment section. They don't have a Big Rig section but the do have a site type section in the same area as the sewers. Pull Thru, back in ect and sort of address the site length in that same area as well. I don't have a big class A so I'm not as sensitive to that issue.Their search capability isn't so good and actually seems to be worse than it was in the old format. So they really need to work on that. Isn't RVParky a pay site. I have continued with CGRev for that very reason rather than a pay site like All Stays. While I'm all for capitalism, I resist working for free on a non-free site.

I am able to use RVParky with my laptop without a charge.

I continue to use Campground Reviews, the now more commercialized version of the old RV Park Reviews site. I am comfortable with their rating system, realizing that different people have different standards in their expectations for an RV Park. I have noticed they seem to have less features in their search functions, as others have noted. I swear I could used to call up all the RV parks within a specified number of miles from a given city or town. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I don't seem to be able to call that up any more.

I use Campground reviews as it has the most campgrounds. I do post reviews about 20% of the time.

I use & post on RVPR. The site is as good as those who take the time to post. For the first timer posting I believe you still need to submit 3 posts to start before you can continue with individual reviews. Everyone has their own review system. Mine, every park starts at 10 & gets a point deducted for every negative. I also state what that negative is e.g. Poor value or no WIFI at a park where one would expect WIFI etc.

I've yet to see a good definition of "big rig friendly" that's meaningful. There are sites where a 40' DP can get in, but a 40' 5'ver can't for instance. How would you differentiate those conditions?
Agreed but if I see NOT Big Rig Friendly, i.e. Big Rig is NOT checked, then I move on to looking at other campgrounds

I also post on Campgroundreviews.com (formerly RV Park Reviews). I also use the site for finding campgrounds. I have found it to be very helpful.

I use Campground Reviews also, but have also started to boondock more so I also try to post on freecampsite.net.
AND a big thank you to folks who leave reviews on any site.
But I learned right away that reviews are always just opinions so I appreciate it when there is more than one review.

I post 100% of the parks I stay at in RV Park Reviews, and check each park out there also before I stay. In most cases the reviews are pretty close to what I see and get when there. I try to be as fair as possible in my scoring give reasons for that score.

RVParky all the way...the Phone App is by far the best for planning and routing while traveling.

Yelp seems to also have lots of reviews these days.

I post on campground reviews as well on thedyrt.com. A newer up and coming site that needs help, but is fun.
And about campground reviews, my biggest gripe is the ability to search, especially COE parks. Some are listed as XYZ Campground while others are listed as XYZ Recreation Area and still XYZ park or even simply XYZ. I wish their search engine was better. If you type in XYZ and it is listed under XYZ Park it will not show up.
But I do post when I get wifi connections on the road. When I get home I tend to forget to many details, so don't post.
