As we travel, we usually don't make reservations ahead - we call it living dangerously. And believe me, this is about as dangerous as our humdrum little lives get. We've been doing this long enough to have found some favorite parks and/or ones we would never return to - the ones that make for good stories, y'know?
The Good:
-Red Rock RV Park, Henry's Lake, Idaho
http://www.8004redrock.com/index.htm
We stayed here a couple of years ago with some Beaver friends and really loved it. Off the beaten track (5 miles to the highway) but just down the road from a great fishing lake and a weekly rodeo at the youth camp. It's close to Yellowstone and the great fly fishing of Island Park & southwestern Montana.
-Brickyard Plantation Golf Club & RV Park, Americus, Georgia
http://www.brickyardgolfclub.com/RV%20Park.htm
This campground is mostly in the middle of nowhere. Nice long, wide unadorned grassy spots. Few amenities, but that's okay. No trees to block the satellites. An egret ate in the nearby pond each day. Most campers are golfers - at $5 per day! Small bathhouse with single washer/dryer & a book-trading area. It's near Andersonville Prison and Plains - Jimmy Carter's home - we didn't see Jimmy.
The Bad:
-Rainbow Lake, Rexburg, Idaho
http://www.passport-america.com/campgrounds/united_states/idaho/rexburg/rainbow_lake_and_camground/Default.asp
The sites are side-by-side - mostly large, mostly level, mostly grassy, with no amenities unless you count trees. Those trees in the middle of pull-through sites definitely counted; most sites had water/elec hookups & were aligned N-S so our satellites worked. Had to sign ourselves in at the "office." At the P/A price this would have been almost a decent place to stay; at Good Sam rates, it was way too expensive.
