    Artillery Ridge Campground Resort ~ Gettysburg, Pa

    Description:  OK ~ I am not a hard person to please... When I call for reservations I ask for a few things ~ that is if I am traveling with friends or meet up with someone I know we'd like to park together and we would like to be able to receive Satellite TV if you don't have cable in the park.  This is what I asked for when we made our reservations at Artillery Ridge RV park.  The lady who was at the front desk started out defensive since she knew we wanted 2 sites together and wanted to get satellite... she blamed it on the help there and when I said it wouldn't work for us since the sites were very unlevel too she said she had some sites in the back we could be happy with... well we weren't.  Yes we could get satellite but the sites were so unlevel our coach wouldn't level out... right across the street were sites that had gravel and were somewhat level.  Now there were sites up front that were nicer but she told us they were not available however no one ever went in them... We were in the back right near all the horses in water soaked sites...  after asking not to be near the horses since my husband has allergies to Horse fly stings.  We still had fun and enjoyed our time in Gettysburg but if I ever come back we will NOT be staying in this park.  I am sure some people have stayed here and liked it but the woman's nasty attitude did me in.  There were others who worked there that were a lot more friendly. You may like it... On a positive note they are really close to the battlefields and town.

    Rating: (5)  I would not stay here again ~ there are many RV Parks in this area and I would try another.  It may have been the rough start with the lady at the desk but I would never come back here.  There were a lot of tents here and permanent people.

    Cherry Hill RV Park ~ College Park, Maryland (DC)

    Description:  This is a very good and well managed RV campground.  The staff in the front office are very friendly & helpful.  The park is maintained beautifully and in fact, probably one of the best we have ever stayed in.  The campground has just about everything you can think of including a restaurant on site that you will get a 20% coupon for when you check in.  If you purchase a Cherry Hill cup at the Grill you get free refills for your entire stay.  It is also very kid-friendly! It was the perfect location to visit Washington DC. The bus picks you up and takes you to a Metro depot for a short ride into DC.  Every day they have a 1 hour training session for newcomers on how to see the sights at the least cost. It was great!  Access to the DC metro is great and easy once you get use to it.  Tours from the campground are convenient. The pools (one heated) are some of the nicest we have seen. The cafe offers a wide variety of items. Gift shop and RV supply stores are well supplied.  You do hear highway noise and sites are smaller, but we expected this being so close to DC. They offer 10% discount for Good Sam, AAA and a few other clubs.

    Favorite Sites: We stayed on site 208 and we had plenty of room. We had a patio premium site with brick patio/picnic table/ patio furniture/grill.

    Phone/TV/Internet:  Everything worked great here ~ Verizon and AT&T phones were good, Direct TV top satellite came in great and they had cable TV.

    Lighting/Noise:  Campground streetlights and noise from the highway!

    Hiking/Walking/Biking:  Nice hiking trail through the woods not to mention you'll be walking like crazy in DC.
    Things to See & Do:  You're near DC ~ there is a ton of things to see & do!!!

    Kitty Hawk RV Park ~ Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

    Description: This campground is just an average campground with sites that are to close together and not entirely big rig friendly however with that being said it is right next to the water and just a stones throw from the Wright Brothers National Monument.

    Date of Stay: We stayed here April 13th, 2012 for 4 nights
