There is a great peer database of campgrounds called RV PARK REVIEWS it is best to gauge the validity by first reading reviews and descriptions of Campgrounds that are familiar.

I built a small reviews section on our Rainbowrv site but it is not populated with many campgrounds so far. JimR may want to add a few listings for us to avoid

www.rvparkreviews.com is the best place for getting info on good and not-so-good RV parks. You do have to read between the lines sometimes -- and if you're having a tough time making a decision, then be sure to read the older reviews (that need to be displayed with a click at the end of the particular reveiw section).

The read between the lines issue -- I've noticed that some reviewers might complain about a lack of activities for children. Well, I'm not looking for children's activities and indeed might prefer an RV park that discourages children. More important are comments about dirty bathrooms -- not that I use them, but it's sometimes a sign about how carefully the facilities are kept up.

Here is a picture of Jay's PT and my FC at Carl Spindler, it is a nice county
run campground attached to the marina on the east side of the Illinois River,
just south of the Illinois 150 / US 24 bridge at the end of Marina Rd, the
entrance to marina road is the address on N. Main St..
