Indian Campground (indiancampground.com) is the first stop off the highway and is nearly hidden inside a grove of 200 shade trees. The grounds offer a heated outdoor pool, Wi-Fi, a 24-hour laundromat, showers and a fenced area for exercising off-leash pets. The gift shop is jammed with curios, souvenirs, local Indian crafts and homemade canned delicacies. A full hookup includes cable TV, and there are 75-foot pull-throughs for extra-large vehicles. As you take a turn around the well-manicured property, don't be surprised to see a pronghorn antelope or two. The campground is open from April 15 to October 15.
Mountain View (mountainviewbuffalo.com) is mainly known for 1920s log cabins and canvas teepees, but RV hookups are available. The campgrounds offer showers, a laundromat, cable TV for all hookups and a community propane grill. Ask at the office for a wood-burning hibachi or a charcoal grill. Your kids might enjoy spending a night or two in the youth hostel teepee for a nominal extra charge. When night falls, you are welcome to pull up a chair around one of the three open-chimney fires and roast marshmallows to your heart's content.
Deer Park (deerparkrv.com) offers monthly rates, and campers often stay for the entire summer or longer. Especially popular with fishermen and wildlife enthusiasts, the campground has a private hiking path that winds through the woods, offering ample opportunity to photograph and observe the local flora and fauna. Big rigs are easily accommodated, and all sites have free Wi-Fi. Campsite amenities include a shower, a large heated pool and -- from Memorial Day to Labor Day -- nightly ice cream socials. This 40-acre campground is so pet-friendly that they once hosted a camper who brought an elephant.
Twin Creeks (twincreekscampground.com) is a KOA campground approved by AAA that offers more services than other campgrounds in the area. The 86 degree heated pool and adults-only Jacuzzi are enclosed in a country club-style spa area, and the grassy playground not only has swings for the kids but gymnastic features suitable for grownups. If you are traveling with a group or want to organize a party, reserve the outdoor kitchen gazebo with seating for 60 guests. The main building houses a well-stocked convenience store, a recreation room, showers and a laundromat. Pets are welcome, and all sites have free Wi-Fi and cable.
