so we have stayed at some amazing campgrounds and we've stayed at some that are not so great in fact
we even got kicked out of a campground which is a whole story in and of itself that I'm going
to tell you a little bit later but in this video, we're going to talk about what are some things you
should know when choosing a campground to avoid a bad experience you're going to want to stay tuned
so first we're going to talk about the best and then in just a little bit we're
going to tell you about some of the worst campgrounds that we've been at but there
have been so many amazing campgrounds that we've stayed at in the last five years it's
really hard to narrow it down but Ben the kids and I had a little discussion so we
narrowed it down to the top three best campgrounds that we have ever stayed at
so yeah coming in number one is Sunshine Key in the Florida Keys this is an amazing Campground
for a lot of reasons it's part of the Thousand Trails system it's an encore Park so if you have
a Thousand Trails membership with the Encore add-on it's only 20 a night so amazing price
for an amazing Campground it's like its own little island so you can do paddle boarding or boating
there's a marina there's so much to do from right there plus the views are absolutely stunning
let's go let's go one two three let's go that's what I'm talking about the number two on the list
is golding's Campground in Monument Valley Utah now there are some amazing things about
this Campground but it almost feels like if you've seen the movie cars with the red Sandstone Cliffs
it's like you're in this movie because it's beautiful you're surrounded by all of these
rock formations it's in the middle of Navajo country in Utah and it has its own hiking trails
right there at the campground so you can take a hike there's its own art during these hiking
trails it's an amazing place to stay and when we definitely plan to go back and visit [Music]
so number three on the list for the top campgrounds we've stayed at and this was
actually our kids pick and that's pretty much any KOA holiday so we've stayed at some great ones
from Palmer Gulch in South Dakota to KOA holiday in Asheville to Omaha Nebraska lots of fun KOA
holidays the reason our kids like these is because there's so much to do for the kids from the big
jumping pillows that they tend to have things like even going out on paddle boats or mini golf or
riding the carts around any KOA holiday especially if you've got kids can be a destination in and of
itself there's so much to do at the campground and you don't even have to leave the campground to be
able to find something to do one caveat they're not cheap but experiences over things is our motto
so even when it's a little bit on the pricier side we definitely always want to go for the experience
uncomfortable [Music] so before we jump over to the worst campgrounds we have ever stayed
at you'll have to let us know in really the RV Community know in the comments below what are
some of the best campgrounds you have ever stayed at this is where we love to see where people have
stayed and others can see that too to be able to get some inspiration for new places to go
so real quick one thing that we have learned why we have been out on the road is it is so
important when it comes to maintaining your waste tanks and that is where we're so thankful to have
great sponsors like unique camping and Marine to be able to have all of their products with us to
properly maintain our waste tanks now we struggled with black tank smells for years I mean literally
four years because we just didn't understand the proper methodology when it came to maintaining our
waste tanks so we're so thankful for the unique formulas that they have provided for us from
drop-in pods to tank cleaners to actually they have a new formula that you can put in your black
tank when you're putting your RV into storage if you're a part-time rver you put your RV away
you bring it out maybe every other weekend it is a great product to keep those black tank smells away
we'll have more information and a discount at the link in the description below and a huge thanks to
Unique camping and Marine for their sponsorship of this video and support of our Channel [Music]
all right let's jump over to the worst Campground and I mean the worst that we have ever stayed up
[Music] So coming in number one on the list is a KOA Journey that was outside of Amarillo
Texas now the campground in and of itself no complaints there but it was all about location
for us on this one because not only were there train tracks running right along the campground
with multiple trains that were coming through at all hours of the day but then right on the
other side of the campground was a very large airport yes train tracks and an airport it was
like the double whammy here so needless to say not a very quiet night to get rest at
that particular one and Ben actually was joking around with me that year because it seems like
every Campground we stayed at was near trade tracks he was thinking that there was some
sort of filter that I was checking that said near train track not quite how that went but
anyway that was number one on the list pretty much don't recommend if you want a quiet night's sleep
so number two on the list is winter Island State Park in Massachusetts now this was a great place
to stay with access to the Boston area but as far as amenities and just the overall
Campground not the best experience we actually got locked out in that particular one so I'll
put a link in the description below for that particular Story the biggest problem we had
with that particular Campground was the fact that there was no dump station on site and it
was not a full hookup site so we actually had to drive off-site to go dump our tanks so it's
basically just a parking lot it was pretty hard to get in and out maneuverability was
sketchy at best the other thing is is that the bathhouses if you can call them that
definitely were pretty primitive and they were shared with beachgoers which meant they just
weren't the cleanest and if you had hot water that was a bonus probably would not stay there
[Music] so the Third War experience we have ever had really didn't have much to do with
the campground in and of itself but it had to do with unfortunately the owners and the
management of the campground where we actually got kicked out of this particular Campground
wowzers so we're finally here in Florida we are fed up with being discriminated against
and we are being discriminated against at this Campground right now because we have
children younger family and because we are currently living in our RV the owners do not
agree with raising children on the road or in an RV and so they would not let us continue to stay
there and we got booted out of that Campground we traveled tons of states and we've stayed at
tons of koa's and again watch some of our other videos You'll see we're very complimentary but
this particular KOA now we chose this KOA because this is located in Apopka Florida
and this is where we're relocating our home base to so I will put a link below for the full video
on that if you want to see the full full story but that is it in a nutshell would not recommend
that Campground informational be below so you'll have to let us know in the comments below what's
the worst Campground that you have stayed at we would like to know plus the RV Community
would maybe like to know where to stay away from another thing we've learned reviews are
boyfriend so definitely check the reviews see what others have said especially others that
have stayed at a campground recently I'm Gonna Leave the video right up here about how we got
kicked out of that Campground I know you're going to definitely find that interesting if
we don't see you around the campground or out on the road we'll see you in the next video
