The ideal campground..

[travelingfools]

While sitting around the fire last weekend, in the rain I might add, the discussion moved to what an ideal campground would be like.. If we could design the sites, say what activities were available and what amenities might be available..

We came up with sites that had some privacy, but open with some sort of a view, good water and electric, level, a pond or lake, activities for kids and some adult activities in the early evening, garbage pickup, pizza and wing shop and wi/fi. These were a few I remember..

What would be your ideal campground ?

All the above but need a twist on the Bar, make it mobile so you don't have to walk anywhere!

[Nola_Campers]

In fall or winter:
mountain and/or rock formation view; great hikes nearby; very secluded

In Summer:
access to water (preferably beach or river tubing); nicely shaded spot

A site with electric next to a nice trout filled stream that no one else knows about!

Big wide roads, privacy between sites, water view, nice helpful office, clean and neat. Rv wash station, Ice Cream shop, BBQ at lunch, live music on weekends....$30 per night.

Nice Clean Park, Full of Amenities, and Cheap?

I have always said you could get 2 out of the 3 but not all 3! Let me know when you find the mysterious RV Park you speak of!

I'd be a little careful of being "on a cliff with an ocean view with only a few steps to the beach"...that first step might be a little rough :B

Yes, I should correct that. It would be only a few steps to the elevator that would take you down to the beach. :W

Would be on a cliff with a fantastic ocean view and only a few steps from each rv site to the beach. An 18 hole PGA style golf course with pedways to eliminate carts. Twenty-four hour armed security police. Maid service for all rvs. Free wi-fi, phone and cable. Clean up crews that would wash your rv on request. High and low end restuarants that deliver to your rv. More to come...as soon as I think of it....:h

Lots of trees, large isolated sites, no camp pad (put the trailer wherever is convenient - ala Algonquin PP, Pog Lake CG), direct water access (lake, river or stream, as appropriate), view of water, access roads that are arranged in such a way that there's very little traffic on any single road except maybe a central artery, large clean bathhouse with laundry facilities that work well, very quiet (no road noise - I want to hear the animals at night and the birds in the morning), a variety of hiking trails with varying distances from hour-long easy hikes, to day hikes, to overnight hikes, to multiple overnight hikes, and the same for kayaking and kayak camping, some trails hilly/mountainous (not too extreme - very close to the ideal is the hiking Acadia NP in Maine and the kayaking at Lake Superior PP in Ontario).

Don't care about electric, water, pavement, or other amenities. If they're there I use them, but where I camp they're usually not there.

This place during the off season. JMO

Fort Wilderness at Disney World, Florida is as close as we've found for that ideal campground and even it wasn't perfect. The site we had a few years ago had the front half paved and the back half sand; presumably for tenters. The back stabilizers were in the sand!

Huge spacious lots on a beautiful lake with lots of trees. Mountains in the background. A golf course, live acoustic music on the weekends, a fountain of Seagram's 7 and all of this at a clothing optional resort for the ages of 40 and over.
