Whispering Oaks Campground Showers, Story City, Iowa

August 17, 2010

At First Glance: White and pink. Very pretty and clean. There were even paintings of flowers on the walls between each mirror.

Shower Power: Lovely beyond words. But the showerhead was made for short people, so it was hard to get a good rinse.

Hot or Not?: Perfectly hot.

What Made it Nice: We didn’t have to be concerned about staying clean. Also, stool in each shower, lots of counter space, little shower caddy. And the ground was slightly tilted towards the back wall of the shower, where there was a drain, so the floor was floor, not one big puddle.

What Made it Not-So-Nice: Low showerhead

 

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10
 

Moose Lake State Park Showers, Moose Lake State Park, Minnesota

August 14, 2010

At First Glance: Ew. This floor is disgusting. How am I supposed to clean myself in all this dirt?

Shower Power: Almost decent.

Hot or Not?: There was no way to adjust the temperature! It was just a button you pushed for about a miute of water.

What Made it Nice: The interior of the building was pretty. Three single hooks and a double hook.

What Made it Not-So-Nice: The showerhead was too low, there was no shower curtain separating the changing area from the showering area, and the floor...

Grand Portage Lodge Showers, Grand portage, MN

August 14, 2010

At First Glance: Only one?! It’s so small, too! But a lovely bright salmon-colored shower curtain

Shower Power: Lovely. Powerful, but not too much.

Hot or Not?: Mostly hot. Kind of switched a bit, but not too bad.

What Made it Nice: Five double hooks, mat on floor, pretty shower curtain, wooden bench attached to wall, so extra sturdy. And COMPLIMENTARY TOWELS! We didn’t even have to use our own towels or worry about dropping them on the wet floor or getting dirty.

What Made it Not-So...

Arnold’s RV Park Showers, International Falls, MN

August 11, 2010

At First Glance: Pathetic. Painful to the eyes. It stinks, it’s small, there are mosquitos and other bugs, it’s hot, and I’m supposed to come here to get clean? The shower curtain didn’t even stay up!

Shower Power: So hard it was painful and we tried to get out from under it as much as possible. It’s hard to get clean that way.

Hot or Not?: Well, the shower caddy was hanging directly above the temperature adjuster, so we could really adjust the temperature of the water without du...

Bjorlo Family House Showers, Brainerd, MN

August 11, 2010

At First Glance: Lovely interior design, wood and tan theme very complimentary to the tile walls of the shower.

Shower Power: Perfect. Far above all of our heads, showerhead sent water exactly where we wanted it, at a decent water pressure.

Hot or Not?: Wonderfully hot.

What Made it Nice: The decorations, the shelves (one for sitting, two for stuff), the wall of hooks outside, the generous amount of space and the assurance that everything was REALLY clean.

What Made it Not-So-Nice: Abs...

Maple Grove KOA Showers, Maple Grove, MN

August 8, 2010

At First Glance: Very cute. Much better than the last KOA. Lacy off-white curtains with embroidered flowers and hanging pots of pink flowers.

Shower Power: Great! Adjustable to fit your liking. However, boys report lousy shower power.

Hot or Not?: Hot at the beginning, then got colder at the end.

What Made it Nice: Good stream, door AND curtain, stool outside, shelf inside, two double hooks, the whole nine yards. Tall enough for Ben.

What Made it Not-So-Nice: No bath mat, so floor got p...

Red Trail Campground Showers, Medora, ND

August 8, 2010

At First Glance: Clean, white, spacious

Shower Power: Strong enough in girls’ showers, but supposedly pathetic in boys’ showers

Hot or Not?: Hot enough to be liked

What Made it Nice: Showering in handicap stall with cushioned seat was quite fun

What Made it Not-So-Nice: Everything got wet. Shower curtain didn’t do much to prevent that. Also handicap shower had showerhead, with no place to hang it up – which was both good and bad.

Johnson’s of St. Mary RV Park Showers, St. Mary, MT

August 8, 2010

At First Glance: Small, old-fashioned, filthy, uncomfortable, not well-furnished or well-made

Shower Power: Decent, except the showerhead was so tall and far away that it was pathetic by the time it reached us

Hot or Not?: Yes, but not a very nice type of hot, a very unpleasantly hot type of hot.

What Made it Nice: Not much. We discovered that we can shower in under six minutes.

What Made it Not-So-Nice: Tokens. These were powered by tokens. Some token-taking machines were stupid and di...

What Made it Nice: Lots of benches, curtains and hooks. Also, floor covered to keep it relatively dry

Colter Bay Campground Showers, Colter Bay, WY

August 8, 2010

At First Glance: Huge. Plentiful in number. Quite clean, somewhat crowded, but white and enjoyable.

Shower Power: Perfect, amazing, and enjoyable.

Hot or Not?: Hot. And the temperature adjuster was labeled correctly too!

What Made it Nice: Little shelves in the walls of the showers, just big enough to hold bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Also one hook and a decent-sized bench. Nice mat-like thing kept everything relatively dry.

What Made it Not-So-Nice: It cost $15.50 to shower the...
