Holiday Trav-L Park Showers, Del Rio, TX

February 19, 2011

At First Glance: Bland. Can showers be bland? Well, these were. NO decorations, no color, nothing. The tiles that covered floors and walls were a dull gray cream color.

Shower Power: Varied from shower to shower. Ben rejoiced in his powerful shower – what he called a “pressure wash”, while my shower was wimpy beyond comparison.

Hot or Not?: Varied from time to time. Whenever another shower made an adjustment – on, off, hotter, colder, the other showers changed, too, very unexpectantly.

What Made it Nice: A few hooks and benches here and there, lots of changing space, and no competition from other campers.

What Made it Not-So-Nice: Our first insects in many months. Gross! Lindsey really freaked out!

 

Overall Rating: 6 out of 10

 

Camille Beckham’s House’s Shower, Waco, TX

February 16, 2011

At First Glance: This bathroom had ample showering and changing space. A stylish blue and green shower curtain complimented the bathroom’s color scheme.

Shower Power: Excellent! The best I’ve ever seen! So very, very powerful.

Hot or Not?: Wonderfully, perfectly hot. Correctly labeled and perfectly adjustable too!

What Made it Nice: The bathhub attached to this shower was a real treat, as was the knowledge that it was really and truly clean. We didn’t have to wear our shower shoes! ...

Hidden Lake RV Park Showers, Ardmore, OK

February 13, 2011

At First Glance: A building with two doors, each marked family bathroom; a rather large room with a tall ceiling, wooden walls like in a cabin, beautiful beige and brown tiles on the floor and the walls of the shower. In this “family restroom” was a toilet, a spacious shower, a sink in granite countertop on top of locked wooden cupboards, and a large trashcan.

Shower Power: Started strong, but became slightly weaker with each flush of the toilet or running of water in the sink. Still, it...

Little Rock North KOA Showers, North Little Rock, AR

February 11, 2011

At First Glance: Nice rose theme everywhere – in the lacy white curtains on both the windows and the mirrors, the pressed roses hanging on the wall as decorations, the rose-colored tiles, walls, and stalls. Fake roses even draped the draperies above the bathroom mirrors!

Shower Power: Somewhat decent. Not quite powerful, although probably due to the fact that we always showered in pairs. Showerhead was a bit low too.

Hot or Not?: Hot, though sometimes unbearably so. Whenever a fellow sho...

Econolodge Inn & Suites Showers, Alexandria, LA

February 6, 2011

At First Glance: Heavenly in appearance. A lovely color scheme, very well-coordinated. Two soap dishes and four bathtub corners on which to precariously balance shower necessities.

Shower Power: Splendid! So strong, mighty, and vigorous!! Showerhead was nice and high, with many adjustabilities to it.

Hot or Not?: Perfectly hot, but not very adjustable. I moved it just a little colder, and it went freezing cold, so I moved it back, and it was nice and hot again. But it was properly labeled. ...

Courtney's Mobile Home and RV Park Showers, Baton Rouge, LA

February 6, 2011

We did not visit these showers because they were so disgusting, and it was not worth the journey there for fifty cents per shower.

New Orleans West KOA Kampground Showers, River Ridge, LA

February 4, 2011

At First Glance: We walk up to a beige-colored building on gray sidewalks through dead brown grass, and punch in the code, open the door, and the color swallows us up like we’re Thanksgiving dinner. The hallway is alive with color: bright green and brilliant yellow with a wavy purple stripe separating the two colors the entire length of the hallway. On the right side of the hallway are six doors to six showers, and on the left are two doors, one to the men’s restrooms and one to the women...

Movietown RV Park Showers, Canton, MS

January 30, 2011

At First Glance: Tiny showers, filthy floors, no shelves or benches, just four metal folding chairs. Only one double hook in each itty bitty shower. Very limited changing space, too!

Shower Power: Decent, but not impressive.

Hot or Not?: Easily adjustable and correctly labeled, and, therefore, perfect! Mind you, the only really good thing about these showers!

What Made it Nice: Two little divets in the walls some people would like to call shelves

What Made it Not-So-Nice: Everything abou...

Graceland RV Park & Campground Showers, Memphis, TN

January 29, 2011

At First Glance: Pleasantly clean, taking advantage of natural light, ample changing space but not very spacious showers. Silhouettes of Elvis, music notes, and guitars graced the walls to keep to the Elvis theme of the campground.

Shower Power: Pretty powerful, but the showerhead was unpleasantly low. Even our family’s smallest had to slouch to get under the flow. And the showers screeched unpleasantly loudly in the ladies’ side of the bathhouse, but not in the men’s.

Hot or Not?: P...

River Edge Motor Lodge Showers, Gatlinburg, TN

January 29, 2011

At First Glance: Approximately thirty shades of clashing off-whites in an enclosed area. Ouch, it hurts my eyes! But this shower had a bathtub attached to it, which was a special treat.

Shower Power: Very powerful, but also very loud. Unpleasantly loud.

Hot or Not?: Hot, but ran scorching hot whenever someone flushed the toilet or ran water for dishes or anything.

What Made it Nice: There are certain things you can accomplish in the bathtub that you can’t accomplish in the shower. We w...
