RV Park Reviews Website Changes

I can’t decide whether or not I like the new look and format of campgroundreviews.com. Don’t get me wrong, I still think it’s the best resource for researching the condition of RV parks. I really can’t see any improvement over the old look and feel of that website. I’m still adjusting to the new look but I think I liked the old better. Anyone else have an opinion on the changes at RV Park Reviews?

Have not looked at it lately but I do know it has recently been sold to the same folks who own this site, I guess they are "making it their own"

Were snowbirding at Bayfront RV Park in Palacios Texas. This park was listed as "closed/sold" on their website. However I did an update to the database on their website. It was very easy and yes it is the best review website.

I actually prefer the new look and layout. I haven't submitted any reviews yet, but from browsing the site and reading things on it, I like it.

Try to forget the old and embrace it as if you had never been on the site before.

The one thing I see missing is the ability to see reviews of only a certain # of stars.

I like the new feel. I wish it was faster in updating. But its a great source of information. I use it all the time when booking.

As far as I know they do not. Unless it came out with the new update.

No app that I'm aware of, but the new website is mobile friendly whereas the old one was not. There was a hokey second-site for some users, but few knew about that.

Thanks for the posting! I had not run across this site B4. Any idea if it's possible to email an individual who's posted a park review on that site?

I don't believe you can email an individual through that website. I haven't learned all the nuances of the website yet so I might be wrong. For that matter I was under the impression that campsite photos could be uploaded and I still haven't found that function yet either.

One thing that seems to be a big improvement is the map. I could never figure out before how to see parks without having to drill down to every city/town/whatever in the general vicinity of where I wanted to stay because two parks next door to each other might have been associated with different towns.

We like this web site and have used it to find campgrounds we want to vacation at this winter. Very helpful.
