travel questions
I go thru Tulsa every year. I would probably not stop at a park there, as I think I would have to leave the Tollway and then pay to get back on. In general, I dislike 'Tollklahoma' because the roads are crappier than many in this country, and cost more than most.
For parks I plan to stop at, I use the book from Passport America (you might want to consider joining them). For parks stopped at because they are where we decide to stop, I look for signs on the road, with the park close to the freeway with easy access back on. Other than that, the deciding factors are reasonable price (say $20 per night with only electric hookup), pull throughs long enough for my trailer and truck, and the ability to show up 'late' (at least 9pm).
I generally only stay one night unless I'm at my destination. For longer stays, I look at the atmosphere, appearance, quietness and amenities. I've not yet stayed at a place where I had to back in, and hope to avoid it in future. Shade trees and grass are a big plus. Price is a big consideration, but since I'd be using Passport America's 1/2 price discount, could be up to $30 or so normally for full hookups. Cable and telephone/internet would be nice options I'd pay a bit extra for.
Other things I've appreciated at the best places I've been: Pool & Hot tub, Miniature Golf, good reasonably priced resturant, store with groceries, RV supplies and souveneers, Wood shop and a lake.
