I agree. There are others out there but nine times out of ten can't find the park I'm looking at.

rynosback Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I use those both also. But sometimes the posts you read are several years old. I also have found reviews by just Googling the camp ground that I am interested in staying at. 2015 Ram 3500 RC DRW CTD AISIN 410 rear 2016 Mobile Suites 38RSB3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time next year's camping season begins we hope to have Android and iPhone apps available to make RVPR even easier to use.

Vladimir Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 We use RV Park Reviews and Trip Advisor. Forget the stars and read between the lines on the reviews. The problem is many of the reviews are posted by folks that frankly are not paying attention. For a laugh read this review of Signal Mountain Campground in Grand Teton National Park: https://www.campendium.com/signal-mountain-campground Here is my review: http://usbackroads.blogspot.com/2015/11/usbackroad-destination-signal-mountain.html. Boy, was I mad!!! The best reviews are written by full-time RV'ers like Laurie and Odel, and others that currently posting on their travels. They really do pay attention. To bad Laurie and Odel left the road...great reviews: http://wecallithome.blogspot.com/ Vladimr Steblina Retired Forester...exploring the public lands. usbackroads.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2gypsies Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 -Nina's site, as I have been to many of the same parks and find her reviews match my assessment well. http://wheelingit.us/category/rv-park-ratings/ Nina's site is absolutely wonderful with excellent descriptions of places they've stayed. It's very helpful if you have a big rig (they have a 40' motorhome) or if you enjoy boondocking (they do it often). They use public parks the majority of time.

At that point i realized its not a true advisory website. I've never had any problem posting negative comments on TA. I think that it uses a combination of automated and offshore folks to process its reviews. Your negative review may have contained some "trigger words" that got it rejected.

Bill Joyce Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 TripAdvisor moderates fairly hard for the first few reviews. There are many reasons for this, including fake reviews and those posting just to gripe. A friend likes to call many fake or gripe reviewers "One and Dones", since they only put up one review. Once you have a number of reviews, 5 to 10, that they approve, you are given more freedom. I have about 130 reviews on TripAdvisor, a combination of campgrounds, hotels, restaurants and attractions. My reviews get published quickly and I have not detected any edits, though they do reserve the right to edit your review. I have learned to put photos on TripAdvisor first and wait until they are approved, before putting them anywhere else public. If the photo is already public somewhere else, it will not show up. I do find RVParkReviews.com a better source of campground reviews. On TripAdvisor, campgrounds are somewhat hidden as "Specialty Lodging" under hotels and the review system is not geared to campgrounds, so many do not put up reviews. 2004 40' Newmar Dutch Star DP towing an AWD 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid, Fulltimer July 2003 to October 2018, Parttimer now.

American Roatrip Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thanks for the link! We have been to quite a few places that got high reviews on yelp, and when we got there the places were nothing like what they advertised and the half the amenities were out of order. 6 months on the road it has been hit or miss for us. pavlovamericanroadtrip.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one of the administrators of RVParkReviews.com I'm a bit biased, but we spend a lot of effort to ensure that our reviews are real and contain useful content. As a result, I feel pretty confident when I rely on RVPR exclusively for selecting an RV park. Like any review site, each reviewer grades a bit differently but, on the average my wife and I have found that we don't have problems at any park rated "7" and above on RVPR.

SWharton Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 A question for all of you. Do you post to RV Park Reviews when you stay at a CG. I try to. That is the only way newer dates will show up. This is a community effort but if you don't participate the information will get old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, if you have a favorite CG that you go back to every year, we encourage you to post additional reviews each time you visit there. As someone who has been there before, you're the best able to see trends--is it just as nice this year or have some things slid a bit?

Dutch_12078 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I review every park visit, with the exception of those parks we return to within the 90 day RVPR minimum limit on re-reviews. RVPR is definitely our go-to site when researching new locations.

trailertraveler Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 ...if you have a favorite CG that you go back to every year, we encourage you to post additional reviews each time you visit there. As someone who has been there before, you're the best able to see trends--is it just as nice this year or have some things slid a bit?... We use RV Park Reviews and do post reviews of parks that do not have recent reviews, seem to have improved/declined, or are not mentioned at all. One of the down sides that we have encountered is that once a park starts to get good reviews and mention in almost every thread about travel to their area, it can get very difficult to get a spot when you want/need one. It has been three years since we have been able to stay at what was our favorite park in the Taos, NM area. We have also encountered this situation with Forest Service and Corps of Engineers Parks that are mentioned frequently on this and other forums. Since you can only review parks that you actually have stayed at, there is no way to warn others that reservations well in advance may be necessary.
