McCoys Ferry Campground

It's on the river.  It's quiet and very pretty this time of year. There is potable water by a hand pump for cooking and cleaning just bring something to put the water in. We used a empty 5 gallon water bottle. We're on the group camp site that can fit 30 people there is only 15 of use so there is a lot of space. The single camp sites are nice to. There are sites with small campers on it and still plenty of room.

Great camping spot for a weekend getaway. Quiet when the train isn't going past on either side of the river. Beware there are no facilities other than the porta johns and the vented toilet at the parking lot (the porta johns were cleaner). Bring your own hand sanitizer and water. Even though there is a hand pump there, it has been known to miss the handle at times. Also, the entrance to the park is a slight right into a dirt road from the main road.  If you keep going straight you go into a dead end. It's not marked very well so you might need to turn around to come back to the entrance. The tunnel you pass through is really fun as well.  It's a one lane tunnel so take your time to make sure someone isn't coming through on the other side.

I love the layout of this campground. The campground is always clean. They added some very nice picnic tables.  A grill and a firepit are on each site.  Overflow parking is available and porta potty's.  No water or electricity. Bring your own. Pack in ,pack out. Most importantly. Leave no trace!
My friends and I gave tribute to a fellow camper that passed away suddenly. It was 27 degrees the last night.  We were ready, though. RIH Alona

Great Place. Quiet and clean. Only downside is they got mobile toilets. But good thing, they were clean.

Amazing views. Yes, the sites are a little close together, but it didn’t really feel intrusive. Definitely reserve river side (1,2, and 6). Basic amenities, fire pit, grill, nice leveled places to pitch, water pump, port-a-pot. Really just a super pleasant spot…..except the trains. It literally sounds like caterwauling banshees coming through the campground. Honestly, on a misty mid October evening it added an interesting effect. Sleep was wrecked though.

Hagerstown / Antietam Battlefield KOA Holiday

We had been traveling in our small camper van for a month, and needed an easy place to stay for just one night before returning home.  The lady who answered the phone was so kind and efficient, and found us a spot on short notice.  They offered pizza you could order as you checked in, and they delivered it right to your campsite.  It was hot and delicious.   The bathrooms/showers were some of the cleanest we saw during our trip, and we slept so well at our quiet site beside the creek.  We would highly recommend this KOA

Spent a couple of nights here back in March. The site was nice and close to amenities with a pleasant view of the nearby river, but it was difficult to access (I made the mistake of arriving after dark). Restroom/showers were extremely clean. Very peaceful location. Staff was very pleasant and friendly. If I go through there again, I'm sure I'd return for another stay.

Great little campground. Yes it's small and sites are close together as many have mentioned. HOWEVER in my opinion that didn't take away from our ability to enjoy it. There is swimming, canoeing, tubing, gaga ball, jumping pillows, giant chess, chickens that visited us each morning, a camp cat which we loved, crafts, train ride etc. Lots to keep busy with. They are also great with responding to their text app for questions or issues. There was also a movie night which was nice. Customer service was good. We did have less than stellar service from one guy in the snack bar but nothing I couldn't handle. Camp store was nice. Bathrooms were clean and our cabin was good. Fair to mention there's many bees around the cabins. Not a deal breaker but I know some are allergic. Anyway we had a good time and would recommend. Nice little campground to get away for a few days.

My wife and i went for an overnight stay on the way to Florida from NY.   In our way in, some lady squirt us with a water gun.   After we check in, we are escorted to our site.   I told the guy we can back in ourselves (which we've done plenty of times).  The site was very very small and there's a rock wall on the opposite side of the road making it take a bit of maneuvering and a little more time.   Since this is the only route, the next camper had to wait a couple of minutes.    Obviously the "escort guy" was a bit impatient and starts telling me incorrect directions to back in making it impossible for me to hear my wife.   I told him to stop as I can't listen to 2 people at once.  For $70+ a night, being right on top of other sites, it's not worth it to me.

The electric and water worked fine.  I didn't use the sewer,  though the site was equipped.

The dog park had 3 piles if poop in it that weren't cleaned.   The bags are provided, yet 3 poops left there.  Not necessarily the campgrounds fault, but the other campers clearly don't care.

Awesome KOA with great bath houses and friendly staff.  The cafe is great when you need a quick bite or coffee.  Off the beaten path but still close to civilization.  Small collection of animals too!  Will definitely go back.

Safari Campground

Very nice place for a picnic or to get out and enjoy the water with the family.

Savannah National Wildlife Refuge

This place is awesome. There's a ton of hiking trails, but the real star of the show is a 3.5 mile one way drive way that takes you through so many beautiful sites. I saw so many cool birds, trees, and plants. There are plenty of places to pull over and take photos or simply enjoy the view. There are informative boards along the way to help understand some history. I highly recommend for all ages and interest levels.

Oh my goodness, let me see if I can sum this experience up in a few words. When I tell you the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The drive was Pleasant 4miles, the people that we came in contact with. Were nice, we enjoyed every single moment. Pretty much we were adult children, Excited and Joyful!
God is amazing! Beautiful

If you look closely, you can see a small alligator. Which I was so excited to see.

This is a nice quiet little park that's a little out of the way but a great place to get outdoors for a little bit. The day I went it was about to rain but it was really nice out. The park has a number of small trails that wind around various areas, with the longest one taking you parallel to a road. I'm assuming recent flooding due to rains had washed through the space between the tail and the roadway since it was littered in an enormous amount of trash and plastic. The paths are clearly marked, and there are little signs along the way that educate you to various plant and animal life in the area. The swamp section was definitely the coolest because of was able to watch snakes, frogs, lizards, and other wildlife doing their thing safely from a raised deck. It's a great place to take kids since the trails aren't very long or taxing to walk. I found a huge snapping turtle shell that had been there quite a while since it was bleached, almost completely white. Definitely stop in and check the place out if you're in the area.
I've got about 40 photos but it will only allow me to post photos from Google photos, which I don't use, so I'm left with just these 10 unedited one's until I can get that nonsense corrected.

This is an awesome drive to see wildlife. I enjoy the opportunity of being able to see and listen to nature. As you can see it's diffidently an photograph opportunity. Don’t forget to bring your binoculars and camera ... This is perfect for family outing. The roads are dusty so drive a vehicle that you don’t need to stay clean 😂

Favorite Free past time in Savannah!
4 mile drive filled with birds 🦅 , Spanish moss 🌳, dragon flies, & gators 🐊. The Refuge was closed for a couple years to update the dam. At most I’ve seen alligators counting up into the 40’s on average I get about 10-13 spots per visit. Bring some binoculars, roll the windows down and enjoy the drive. Spring time is best time to see optimal 🐊 during mating season. You can spend on average 1-2 hours here easily. Don’t forget to donate at the end. And remember don’t feed the wildlife!!!

Monterey Square

A small square designed in 1847 to honor the 1846 battle of Monterey during the Mexican American War.  However, the monument in the middle was erected in honor of General Pulaski who was killed in battle nearby.  I have included pictures of the surrounding residential and commercial buildings. Also included is the Mickve Israel Temple (built in 1878), home to one of the oldest congregations practicing Reform Judaism in the United States.

The architecture and ironwork is extraordinary, plus you have the Mercer House and Synagogue on this square.

So pretty I walked around this square in what felt like a quintessential Savannah moment. It was at dusk, with a light rain and fog. The street lights were a beautiful warm natural color, so the wet streets and the spanish moss with the historic buildings gave it a magical feeling. Very memorable and beautiful.

Monterey Square located between Taylor and Gordon Streets is very nice.  The large white monument in the center is the focal point of this square near the Mercer-Williams House.

This lovely square is home to the Mercer-Williams House and General Casimir's Monument. It is a beautiful and peaceful square!!

Oatland Island Wildlife Center

Every few months my two best friends and I meet to share a weekend. We did some really fun stuff in Savannah. I was prepared for the Wildlife Center to be a sort of sad place with rescued but unhappy animals. Nope! I was impressed the minute we drove up. The building and grounds are just lovely; the building itself has a cool history, built as a retirement facility by the railroad union for their members. The animals were very well cared for; the snakes were just gorgeous, and the staff were friendly and quite helpful. The variety of animals was impressive; the walks were beautiful and manageable even for folks with disabilities. It seemed there were places for the animals to be away from people or be out close and interact with people. It’s almost always hard to see animals in captivity, but since these creatures were rescued and can’t be released, we were all glad to see they were so well cared for. You’ll see bison, wolves, panthers, bobcats, the aforementioned snakes, many fowl, possums, alligators and more. We had a terrific of time. Did I say admission is only $5? Check it you!

My family and I have visited twice and we love it. The staff hace been welcoming and knowledgeable. My son loves looking at all the animals and having free space to run, play, and explore. Multiple spots to sit and eat too. Bringing a sack lunch is recommended. It's a beautiful trail with animals and beautiful scenery to see during the walk.

This place was so much fun when exploring Savannah. So many walking trails through beautiful trees and so many exhibits for a small zoo. It was beautiful and fun with my little kids. My 4 year old did great with all the walking and it took us about 2 hours to go through. It was inexpensive and a fun way to explore with children.

We had an amazing experience here for our first time coming, I highly recommend!! This place is beautiful and so peaceful. To me it was more of a nature trail walk. Most of the animals we were expecting to see were either hiding or sleeping in their dens the day we went. But only $5 for adults?? Totally worth it! It was still entertaining to walk through! Make sure you wear a comfortable outfit & comforting shoes because it’s about a 2 hour walk if you actually take your time.

I took my older teens, my 10 and under nephews and my sister. We all had a great time and loved seeing the various animals and plants even though it was kind of chilly. If you take littles be sure to bring a stroller and take lots of pics.

Wormsloe State Historic Site

Such a beautiful park close to downtown Savannah. The famous arched trees with the long driveway is such a gorgeous site to see. There is a small fee to enter the park - this is at the front entrance before you drive down the long path. There is a small gift shop at the end and a few trails to walk along. This is a great stop of you have dogs to take out and wander around as well. Bring water and a picnic for a lovely day roaming the trails - also bring bug spray during those warm months.

What a beautiful park to visit. The entrance with the long road  adorned with mature oak trees touching each other is magnificent. We followed the trails, visited the museum and colonial areas. A must see if you like nature and long walks on trails. Lots of birds and small animals to see. Wonderful sounds all around you.

Beautiful park and the oak lined drive is worth every second! They provide you a detailed map with the history of the place and all the things you can see. We did the 3-mile loop with our dogs in a thunderstorm. Was worth it though! Saw some deer, fiddler crabs, and native cacti!

What a great historical site to visit! The drive down the tree covered driveway is worth the price of admission alone. There are several short hiking trails going to different historical sites. We actually ran in to a Ranger there while hiking who really captivated us with his historical facts and stories. Include it in your visit you won't be sorry!

It’s magical, dreamy and majestic. The Oaks will speak to you. Nice trail also with historic ruins. We also met a lovely man who cares for the garden. We were also able to pick some corn 🌽 🤫 It’s definitely worth the visit to see something you will never see anywhere else.

Catoctin Wildlife Preserve

My mom got annual passes for my nieces, so she got me a pass as well so I could take them.
I enjoy going myself and the kids always have fun seeing the animals. (They are 1.8 and 3 years old, so they sometimes need help and encouragement while feeding the animals, but it is good to start socializing them at a younger age.)

It is best to time your visit around hot days, as there is a lot of walking. But there is shade on a good portion of the paths and water at the snack shack.

For strollers, unless you have a jogger with bigger wheels, don't bother bringing it. Besides the main path, most everywhere else is gravel or dirt and hard to push the smaller sized wheels over. They do have wagons and some other tools of convenience for rent.

We enjoy seeing most all of the animals, but my favorites are the Japanese section, the Lynx, and the Wolves. (The new enclosure for the wolves finished recently)

My 9 year old nephew recently enjoyed the alligator presentation and loved getting to pet the baby (more like the alligator equivalent of a toddler.)

Every staff member I have met over our 7+ visits have been at least polite and helpful, to enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Even when they are dealing with difficult customers or a busy crowd on a hot day.

Ever since we went on the safari, my 3 y/o niece  keeps asking to go again.

Love this place, will definitely return.

Lovely outing for the kids and parents. They have a great collection of wildlife here and the setup is pretty good. Unlike many zoos where you stare at empty habitats wondering where the animals are, there was only one no-show in the whole park. I would definitely go again.

Now, the price is rather high, so I recommend looking for a coupon in those little ad packets that come in the mail. The concessions however were rather inexpensive for the type of venue this is. That said, if they really wanted to increase the dollar value of the ticket, I would recommend that they include at least a small safari ride. There was no way I was going to pay ANOTHER 17 bucks for a safari ride on top of the almost 30 bucks for the entry.

Overall we enjoyed the day at the wildlife preserve.

Pros:
Close to home
Good amount of parking
No line to get in
A good bit of animals to see
Facilities were clean
Gift shop prices were decent for what we looked at.
Lots of areas to sit and have lunch.
Food to feed at the petting area ($5 per cup) plus there are small food dispensers at some sites with food (.50)
Porter potty throughout as well as hand washing stations

Cons:
Entry price a little on the high side.
Navigation throughout the site was complicated if you wanted to see everything.  When we arrived there were no maps available, very limited amount of signs throughout the site. No footprints to follow so we ended up using the map on the website to navigate, which helped but could have been better with more visual signs.
The safari animals ( camels, zebras, biason, deer) and I think a few other animals are tucked away in an area where they can only be seen on the safari ride unless you find the out in the field by the wolfe enclosure. This was a huge disappointment because we couldn't even pay to ride because my son was maybe 3 inches to short of 3ft. Yep you have to be a certain height.
Only saw 3 employees the 4hrs we were there ( the person at the gate, one person cleaning an enclosure and one working the Gift shop)
There were some signs on some exhibits indicating someone would be talking about the animal at a certain time. However there was no way to know that unless you happened to be there while they were there. No food options but there are drink vending machines.

I took my grandson here for some fun. We both love animals and he had a blast. There is a good variety of animals. The paths are well kept, and all the animals were able to be seen. He loved the safari ride and all of the opportunities to feed animals. The staff were all very friendly. Even had free water and snacks while waiting to ride the safari.

Arrival: The earlier, the better. We arrived around 10am on a Saturday, and it wasn't super crowded. We had options to take the 12pm and other rides after.

Parking: We found parking to be pretty easy. There was street parking as well as some parking lots (one that was even marked as overflow parking).

Tickets: We ordered tickets online. That process was fairly easy. When we got to the entrance, they just asked for your name to pull up your tickets. You would then purchase your safari tickets there as well.

The Tour: It was self-guided. I read plenty of reviews saying it's a lot of walking. Eh....yes and no. You are walking the whole time, but for me, it was no different than walking the zoo. The only difference is that this place wasn't as big and had benches that weren't all occupied. Then, you got a walking break during the safari. What made this experience much better than the zoo was that it wasn't super crowded and you got to interact with the animals. We got to feed and touch animals (emu, kangaroo, cow, bison, koi fish, crocodiles, and more). It was an experience that we'll never forget.

Safari: The Safari ride was AMAZING!!! Our instructors were nice and awesome and kept us laughing and entertained. ***Make sure to bring animal food on the ride. The safari ride does indeed give you (1) complimentary cup, but you have (3) stops to feed and touch animals on the ride. Trust me when I say it's hard not to interact and run out of your first cup on the first stop. If you have wooden tokens, you can trade them in for food on the ride.

Animal Food: The food at the front is $5.00 or throughout the Preserve, and you'll find areas where you can pay 50 cent for a handful. We opted for the 50 cent food.

Food: There was no actual food for us to eat, but we packed sandwiches, snacks, and drinks and ate after the safari ride. They do have sanitizer throughout the venue, but we still brought our own. Wipes are a good investment as well if sanitizer doesn't make your hands feel really clean.

The Smell: I saw plenty of reviews complaining about the smell. For one, I didn't smell anything out of the ordinary. Animals smell, so I was so confused as to why it was even mentioned. Also, there was no repulsive smell throughout our visit. Please ignore those reviews.

Bathrooms: We actually didn't see any actual restrooms, but there were plenty of porta potty's. We had children, so we used them. They were clean. I'm not sure if it's because they are really sticklers about cleaning, or we went earlier enough where there was no room for people to dirty it up. Anywho, it worked out for us.

Overall: We are already planning to go back! This was a great experience.

Ontario Town Square

Great place have fun silent disco dj !! A lot of fun and a great crowd of great people having fun!

Very pretty and good place to take a walk or walk a dog or for kids to play. Looks even prettier when the lights turn on and people often host different things like movies and concerts may other things.

i went to a summer concert at the square. Great group, the concert space is nice we had a very nice evening. However i have a few comments the gardening is not the best. they have food stands and information from the city but some one decided to install them in such a manner that block the view of the stage. I'm pretty sure than they can do a better arangement. about the food stands. I hate that they don't have a price list to me that should be a must have

The scenery around here is so peaceful ...I love taking my Bike out for a ride around Ontario Town Square ...there are quite a few shops...Restaurants...and the Museum...There is always something cool and new to see...

Vary nice child friendly park with lots of space for them to run around and play, they also have movie nights that people can watch from the lawn area.There is a young child area  for children ages 2-5 years of age. The play area has colorful climbable reptiles. Behind the watchtower are photos of the history of the area set in tile.

Wilbur D. May Center

This place is a nice spot for picnics and a great spot for pictures.They have a nice hall somewhere inside the museum that can serve as a hall for special functions like weddings and the decorations in this hall is so lit.
Overall the park is nice and a good place to be

A well run children's museum with interactive exhibits. We saw the dinosaur exhibit and we were informed that the candy land exhibit is no longer occuring. Please call ahead if your unsure, staff is polite and the museum has a stamp  pass for kids or groups. ADA accessible

My daughter had her wedding at the museum.  It was a very nice and beautiful site for this.. we also had the garden reserved for the ceremony but it was raining and we  were able to use the back porch area and it held the 70 to 80 people attending. I am very pleased with the outcome and venue. My daughter has ever been so happy so mission accomplished. Thank you
.

Definitely a hidden gym in a beautiful park in northern Reno. How one man could do so much in his life is certainly incredible. Would have loved to see more of his connection to the different collections and what time frame he added all of it. Such a well done museum some of the best exhibits ever in a small museum and what a great way to honor a local son.

The Wilbur D. May Canter Museum is an awesome museum to visit in Reno. It costs only $6 and is fairly small, but has a ton of artifacts and collectibles that Wilbur May collected during his lifetime. There is also alot.of history of  Wilbur May and insightful information. Highly recommend visiting if in the area and can easily spend an hour or more in the museum center.
