When you are traveling to all of these great places out west, if you want to be economical, you might bring your RV. Here are some places to stay…
The KOA Campgrounds across the country are usually very nice and well run. One of the nicest is the one in Las Cruces, NM. There are trees and a cement pad at every site and most are pull-thru, making it easier to get your rig in and out. The Las Cruces campground has a wonderful pool and picnic/barbeque area, and a grassy area for those with tents. The general store and gift shop offers western and native wares for purchase, along with restocking your rig.
In Custer, South Dakota we stayed at the Crazy Horse Campground, situated right down the highway from the Crazy Horse Monument which is in the process of being carved out of the mountain. The campground is in the middle of the forest and trees abound everywhere. There were also deer that visited us every day. Keep your door and windows open so the smell of pine trees can freshen the air inside.
Deer Visitors at Crazy Horse Campground in Custer, WY
The sites within the Rockwell RV Park in Oklahoma City are situated among many big trees which shade the picnic area that is beside each space. Their swimming pool is located in the interior of the clubhouse so that swimming and relaxing beside the pool are out of the sun. It looks like it is out in the country but it is close to shopping, including a Campers World and a Wal-Mart.
The KOA Campground in Fredericksburg, Texas is located next to an animal preserve with deer and wild donkeys and also a few gazelles which are the only residents who do not come up to the fence to beg for food. The park has shaded sites with picnic areas at each one. They also have cabins that you can rent and spaces for tents. The management is very friendly and the general store offers western and Texas items.
Greer's Pine Shadows RV Park, Flagstaff, AZ
In Flagstaff, Arizona the Greer’s Pine Shadows campground is a very beautiful spot and you soon forget that you are staying right on the highway through town. They rent spaces and trailers to many people who spend the summer in Flagstaff, away from the heat of the desert below the mountains. Great place for pine air.
The Sioux City North RV Park is just across the Iowa state line in South Dakota. They are located on a frontage road, off of the highway and is a quiet restful park with lots of big trees and grass.
Junction West RV Park in Grand Junction, Co is also located on a side road away from the noise of the interstate. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable about the events and activities going on in the region. The park has shade trees and a park-like atmosphere.
All RV parks have general stores that sell supplies for your rig, some groceries and most have gift shops specializing in trinkets and knick-knacks representing the surrounding area. All are fun to stay in and most make you feel like you want to stay there forever.
Looking for doodads and knick knacks? Take a look at the TravelTipsandAdventures shop for goodies to wear and use.
