For those of us that does not tow, is their a list of campgrouds true amenities. For example, to me a full service resturant is real nice for extended stays. After a few hours driving on these clogged roads I'm ready to kick back, not unhook and drive more.

If you go to the RV park's web site, that information should be included. RV Park Reviews provides a link to the websites.

haven't been to any campgrounds and parks that have *full service* restuarants. a few have snack bars...hot dogs, microwave pizza and the like. maybe some of the really high end parks but in any case RV Park Reviews or the park's own website should have a list of their amenities.

I have stayed at one that will deliver full meals to your campsite. You get a menu when you check in. It's Carlsbad KOA, north of Carlsbad, NM.

most have snack shops. some a bit better with nicer sandwiches and plates offered but full service restaurant on premises is not usual for most cgs.
if you want to stop. relax. not unhook. and don't want to drive to get food, then easiest would be have something in your fridge you made at home. Pop in micro or oven. Fast, easy, you are fed and can truly relax.

If you're in NV, try this one in Pahrump. Decent restaurant and winery on-site.

We usually do a little online research before we head to a campground. We use RVparkreviews and also if we are traveling we use our Iphone apps to find out what is around the area.

Other than the pizza and wings offered by some KOAs and other campgrounds, We have stayed at some RV parks with restaurants. Some are more upscale resort types and others are out in the middle of no where places with nothing else for miles and miles like the Ancient Way Cafe and RV Park in El Moro, NM. Casino RV Parks and even dry camping in a Casino parking lot generally provides access to one or more decent places to eat right on the property.
Something to keep an eye out for in the campground website listings is free shuttle service. St Charles, MO had a shuttle that stopped at the campground and took you downtown where there were several good places to eat. Same thing in Cody, Wy. In Amarillo, TX the limo for the Big Texan Restaurant makes the rounds of the campgrounds.
When you don't want to unhook, one of the advantages of staying in RV parks or city parks in small towns is that even if the RV park does not have a restaurant you can often walk to restaurants or other services. We have found this to be the case in Jackson, WY; Torrey, UT; Panguitch, UT; Gardner, MT; West Yellowstone, MT; Santa Rosa, NM; and Great Bend, KS just to name a few.
Safe travels!

The only one I've stayed at is the Mt. Rushmore KOA. They had a full service restaurant plus a mini strip mall with ice cream parlor and a pizza/sandwich place. They also had a free pancake breakfast every morning. Not a lot of restaurants close by. I've been to some that offered ice cream or microwaved pizza, but the campgrounds are catering to folks that bring their kitchens and food with them. Probably not a big enough demand.
Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.
