RE: CG in southwest Indiana
Most of them have long pads. Some are very long. The shorter ones have a separate place to park the tow. If you go to recreation.gov and click on different sites it will show you photos. Our favorite is probably South Marcum, and next would be Gun Creek. South Marcum borders "Party Cove", so you have a lot of boat action. It's no-wake so engine noise isn't a problem. Benton is close to South Marcum, so easy to go to town for supplies. I'm afraid I have a lot of pics of Rend but not a lot that show the whole camp pad. Keep in mind that I don't usually back all the way back...because I don't have to. That leaves me a sitting area.
Here is site 85, South Marcum: (separate space for truck)

Across from that site is 91:

I have some of Gun Creek, but mostly the yard space and not the pad. Most sites give you plenty of space.

RE: CG in southwest Indiana
We live an hour west of Evansville, IN.
Directly across the river from Evansville is John J. Audubon State Park in Henderson, KY, a long-time favorite of ours.

Burdette Park in Evansville has camping and other activities
Spencer, IN, has McCormick's Creek State Park, which is wonderful.
We also love Lincoln State Park and Lake Rudolph near Santa Claus, IN. Lake Rudolph is very, very busy. We like it, though, depending on what you have in mind for that trip.
We've camped at Lieber State Park near Brazil, which is close to Cataract Falls.

Someone mentioned Harmonie State Park, but there's also camping within the city park of New Harmony.

If you're interested in crossing over into southern Illinois, there are 4 COEs and 1 state park at Rend Lake. On further south you can primitive camp within the Shawnee National Forest. Beautiful rock formations and trails.

RE: ~Post your campsite photos here~
Loved Lake Allatoona! Here's site 41:
I went to recretion.gov to look up info about this park and found there are several campgrounds. Which CG is this site in?
McKinney.
Would loved to have stayed more than one night. We were heading to Hunting Island State Park, and stopped here for the night at the recommendation of a friend. I could have stayed a week! :) Although check-in could have been more pleasant, esp. after a full day on the road. Kind of reminded me of "Meet the Parents" where Ben Stiller is wanting to board the plane while waiting his turn in at an empty airport gate.

RE: ~Post your campsite photos here~
Ahhhhh Bakerkids, you have found our little campground Trackrock. We have tried to get #70 for years and have had no luck. It's one of the most popular sites because it looks out over the lake. Did you enjoy your stay there?
Bo
I was there with the Sisters on the Fly last November for our "Christmas in the Mountains." I actually preferred a site in the hills with my group, but was moved down by the water for some reason. It was nice, though, because I did get sun for the chilly days. Loved driving beside the Ocoee :) Beautiful area.

RE: Hunting Island State Park SC cancellation
We visited this campground last April and fell head-over-heels in love! We loved site 81, and could park with our door facing the ocean. If we weren't so far away, I'd be making reservations every summer. Heaven on earth.
Skylark, my best to you. I hope and pray that you're up and around soon.

RE: NC mountains campsite recommendations
"Raccoon Holler Is our favorite in that area. But hard to get in. There you can canoe the river, as Zaloo's Canoes is just down the road".

We stayed there last spring, and also rented kayaks from Zaloos.

RE: Toad Campers
They got themselves in a bit of a bind last year when they posted photos that didn't belong to them claiming that they made that particular trailer. The pic was taken off of the web page of the Little Vintage Trailer.
The owner of the webpage contacted them, and they promptly removed the pic. As I recall, though, they then took another pic that didn't belong to them. Kind of an odd operation, it seems.

RE: ST LOUIS TRIP
Wow, I wasn't aware of that either. We've parked there many times to ride the train across. Had no idea kids weren't allowed in the campground.

RE: Need to find a GREAT RV park on FL Beach this summer!
I agree that Camp Gulf seems to meet all of your requirements. I haven't camped there but have been there several times, as we go down with a group of 20 and stay in a condo. I personally would opt for a row back from the beach in the shade. You're still on beach-front property, but just not under your awning in the sun and wind.
I haven't seen Destin RV Beach Resort listed. Scenic 98 runs along the beach at this location so you cross to the beach. Very upscale sites with concrete patios and pavers and lush landscaping, pool, very clean, gated. Very nice.

RE: Newbie headed to Nashville
We stayed at the KOA several times in years past. Last spring we stayed at Seven Points on the J. Percy Priest lake, but we weren't touring downtown or sightseeing. Loved our stay there.

RE: ~Post your campsite photos here~
I don't know the limits, but I saw large campers on them as I was leaving the park. Don't recall a motorhome while I was there, but if I recall correctly the photos I saw posted somewhere earlier was of a Class C.

RE: ~Post your campsite photos here~
Well I admit I was quite surprised when I pulled off I-40 during a storm to find the campsites were on decks. Then I remembered seeing pics of those sites somewhere...thought it was on here. Since I had received a flash flood warning on my phone a half hour before, I took the sites on the high road, pulled in, and went right to sleep. I think we got some hail around 2 a.m. I wasn't really scared, and loved the treehouse feel. Would like to return someday. The next morning, I noticed the lower level was pretty full....but all were on decks.
In this pic you can see the lake through the trees.

Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, row C, electric.
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8115/8695250363_b8752a0036_z.jpg
Big Meadows Campground, Townsend, TN. The sites along this row are 3 through 11. Concrete pads, FHU. Pads are narrow and not very long. There's a road between the sites and "Little River", but the campground owns the waterfront and have seating there for the campers. Beautiful place and wonderful campground with clean bathrooms and an on-site store.

RE: Camping locally on weekends & late checkouts
I love that Illinois state parks have a check-out time of 3:00 and at the COEs you can stay until 4:00. We used to love to camp in KY, but we had a 11:00 checkout time so quit going. I stay right up until check out on most weekends.
