Reviewing RV Parks can be awfully difficult sometimes.
The last place we were at was new and clean and well-maintained. But I couldn't enjoy our patio because they didn't have enough picnic tables to go around. That might not be a big deal to everyone, but I usually work outside. I find that I can get claustrophobic inside the RV after several hours at a small desk. But that wasn't all - they had a big front gate that was closed day and night, ridiculous speed bumps (I believe speed bumps should be banned in an RV Park! We get rattled enough on the roads.), and lights that were so bright we had to cover our bedroom windows at night with blankets and beach towels to try and get some sleep.
Then here in Oakley our RV Park was older and showing wear and tear and would primarily be considered an overnight spot, but it had two big pluses. One, a really fun and challenging mini-golf course (although the poor condition of the indoor/outdoor carpet and overgrown plants were part of the challenge). Two, the 42-jet private Jacuzzi was a slice of heaven.
In my journal, I keep track of our personal reviews of campgrounds from all our years of traveling. A simple ranking - Poor (don't go back), Fair (ok - depending on other choices), Good (happy to return), and Very Good (loved it). But sometimes some parks are just hard to rank....the park is nice, but the experience not so; or the park is fair, but you still enjoyed your stay.
