MY answer is "Trees". When I was a Boy Scout we were surrounded by trees.

....but what is your BIGGEST shortcoming at the parks you stay at?

I've been to a few that have a tree or big rock right at the corner of the site and the road. This and narrow access roads make backing in a pain in the rear. Flare the ends of the sites a bit so it's easier to cut the corner when backing.


Good point.

The lake site I am looking at is improved with water and electricity but unpaved.

We prefer state and national park campgrounds, so I guess if I was wishing, more of them would offer full hookups. We do prefer parks with large sites and lots of foliage like this one:

I need to follow you around, as I find that a great site, water & electric would make it better, FHU would be even better, but then you would probably never find availability as Everyone would want to be there.

We camp mostly in state parks because they usually have plenty of trees and more space between the sites. We try to avoid campground that resemble parking lots where the rvs are packed in like sardines.

Many cgs lack space between their sites. Iโ€™ll put up with gravel and dust if I donโ€™t have to be parked within 25 feet of another site.

I don't travel to sit in a camp ground but to see whats out there. Example: spent a week in Charleston SC and left camp ground in toad every morning and came back wore out every night. Put 450 mi on the toad but saw a lot of that area. Camp ground had elect, water, sewer, and was quiet.....its all we need.

On the other hand....what have you found MISSING from places you visit?
