Stay Date: June 2010
Our Rating: GOOD – 7
A good overnight stay if you’re visiting the casino, with paved roads and level paved sites, some grass, and a few small trees. Sewer hookup placement is far back; with tow vehicle pulled up to clear the road, it may be difficult to reach without extensions. Clear sky for satellite, no cable TV but free adequate WiFi. Verizon cell and Aircard worked well. Quiet and dark at night, and there’s a free shuttle to take you to the casino, where the buffet was above average. A little high for a casino, but the $27/night charge was worth it for the overnight. Wildhorse Casino RV Park

Portland-Woodburn RV Park, Woodburn OR
Stay Date; Numerous, last stay June 2010
Our Rating: GOOD –7
We like this park, not only because of it’s amenities, but because it borders a huge outlet mall, and since Oregon has no sales tax, this is a good place to stop and stock up on clothes. The park itself is nothing remarkable, but has paved roads and sites, nice grass and small trees between the sites, and is relatively quiet although close to the interstate. There are a number of permanent residents, but visitors are generally parked in the front row where it’s easy to get in and out. Free WiFi and Cable, nice pool, and free coffee at the nicely furnished store/office; $39/night but worth it if you visit the outlet center. The park has it’s own locked gate to the shopping area, and it’s a quick walk across from the park to a couple of good restaurants and a Starbucks. This is a busy section of I-5, so be prepared for three lanes in each direction of heavy traffic. Portland-Woodburn RV Park

Bullards Beach State Park, Bandon OR
Stay Date June 2010
Our Rating: GOOD –9
One of Oregon’s best coastal parks – large, paved back-in sites, lots of trees, and great
facilities. Paved paths to beach, neat lighthouse, and trails through woods. No cable TV or WiFI, and on A & B loop you’ll probably need a portable dish to find a hole to see the satellite. Verizon cell and Aircard worked well. 50A full hookup sites are on C loop, with many open sites for your satellite. Evening programs and activities during the summer. A beautiful park, a bargain at $24/night. Bullards Beach State Park

Double Dice RV Park, Elko NV
Stay Date: April 2010
Our Rating: BAD - 6
A fairly forgettable park, just a gravel parking lot with hookups. Pull-thru spaces are ill defined from front to back, some vehicles end up sticking out into the access roads. Sites are very close together, if there isn’t an empty spot next to you, you’ll get to know your neighbors really well. Free good cable TV, WiFi advertised but didn’t work. Free continental breakfast in office. Verizon cell and Aircard worked well. Fairly noisy, and if you’re near the office the bright lights will illuminate your interior. OK for an overnight if you’re in a pinch, but the $35/night (with Good Sam Discount) makes this place to expensive for what you get. Double Dice RV Park

Seven Feathers RV Resort, Canyonville OR
Stay Date: April 2010
Our Rating: GOOD – 10
We’ve never stayed at a better park – think Disneyland for RVers. A true resort, with beautiful welcome center, meticulously landscaped grounds, and perfectly-maintained facilities. Paved interior roads and long pull-thru sites, modular hookups, nice grass and shrubbery, and a concrete patio with nice table and chairs. Easy shot to satellite, with free cable and good WiFi. Verizon cell and Aircard worked well. Easy access to I-5 but quiet at night. Free shuttle to the beautiful 7 Feathers Casino. Everything you could want for a quality stay, and for about $30 (depending on Player Card discount and comps), it’s a great value. Seven Feathers RV Resort

Rolling Hills Casino RV Park, Corning CA
Stay Date: April 2010
Our Rating: GOOD –7
A good place to stay whether traveling or while visiting the casino. Self check-in kiosk, gravel road and pull-thru sites, mostly level with good hookups. No trees to block the sky, no cable TV, spotty WiFi. Good Verizon cell and Aircard service. Convenient to I-5, but in back of the casino so little traffic noise. Free shuttle to the casino. Nothing special, but a good, safe, and quiet place to stay, for a great price of $25. Rolling Hills Casino RV Park

Sparks Marina RV Resort, Sparks NV
Stay Date: April 2010
Our Rating: GOOD – 10
A true resort; park under the portico for check-in, follow your escort to your beautifully landscaped and long pull-thru site, and enjoy the patio and artificial grass. Perfectly level, with modular hookups, free cable TV and good WiFi. Verizon cell and Aircard worked well. A bit of a drive through a residential community, but easy to find and worth it for the quiet. Not cheap at $39/night, but if you want to treat yourself, stop here. Sparks Marina RV Resort
