I'm sure the prices are that high because that's what they can get from the big companies, but with the extra revenue they could keep the place clean and safe.

We never stay in parks that don't have a current review on RV reviews. I'm sure the fracking workers don't care about how things look, and too bad that PPA doesn't keep an eye on the parks in their system. Makes me shudder!owensontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076915620668491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-5458647307613227762014-07-20T09:14:53.434-04:002014-07-20T09:14:53.434-04:00Well, Sherry, would you believe that Al was actual...Well, Sherry, would you believe that Al was actually born in Jamestown? He has a lot of family still there and the family farm is in nearby Spiritwood. I've been to Jamestown a few times, but mostly in the winter so I didn't get out much. I use rvparkreviews too but when the reviews aren't current I am very leery. It certainly is a dumpy campground, but since it's full, I guess that's all that matters to them.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-48224017627015941692014-07-20T08:24:40.264-04:002014-07-20T08:24:40.264-04:00We stayed there 4 or 5 years ago and while it was ...We stayed there 4 or 5 years ago and while it was dirt, there was no trash. We never used the shower house so I don't know about that. The location to the Louis Lamour cabin and the Buffalo Museum made it tolerable and of course the big buffalo. The frackers have ruined many places across the country. While we were in WV and OH you couldn't find a park and they don't care what the parks charge as the companies pay so much they don't care. The park owners just rake in all the fracker money without doing any work on the parks. Now don't get me wrong, some of these frackers are OK, but it's ruined the typical RVer who isn't staying for months. billandjanrvingtheusa.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07029050668729852555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-31586048418189207792014-07-20T06:49:05.462-04:002014-07-20T06:49:05.462-04:00This was painful for a non-RVer to read although I...This was painful for a non-RVer to read although I guess every traveler hits a dump occasionally. So sorry it happened to you guys. When I read a poor review from an RVer I regularly read, I know I'd take it seriously. Most of you seem to be a flexible, adaptable bunch who try to make the best of every situation. Hope you can forget this and move on.

The reviews I found on line didn't hint at all about all the dirt and cigarettes and the bathroom. One person said the roads were paved. I assume none of this was the case when you were here. Please don't hesitate to recommend. It is certainly not your fault that I got the wrong impression from on line reviews.
