Round Top Campground Showers, Gettysburg, PA

November 9, 2010

At First Glance: Beautiful. Lovely bright colors and painted decorations all around. Spacious and clean to boot!

Shower Power: Varied by shower. But generally pleasing.

Hot or Not?: Very hot at first, but then adjusted well to a perfect temperature at which it stayed for the duration of the shower.

What Made it Nice: This shower room was heated! The place was so warm and comfortable that it made us lethargic and sluggishly slow, but happy and comfortable. And it had ample showering and changing space, as well as appealing decorations and a generous amount of hooks.

What Made it Not-So-Nice: No shower curtain or shower caddy, just a soap container.

Days Inn and Suites Showers, Groton, CT

November 1, 2010

At First Glance: Well, it’s bigger than most, but it wasn’t even clean before my family did haircuts and two-thirds of my family showered before me. And the bathtub was two-thirds full of everyone else’s shower water by the time it was my turn. Not a very good first impression.

Shower Power: Three showerhead settings, and two of them were nice. Not terrifically hard, but they worked.

Hot or Not?: I’m sure at least some of the first four showers were nice and warm, but mine (the fif...

Burlingame State Park Campground Showers, Charlestown, RI

November 1, 2010

At First Glance: Disgusting. And cold. Oh, bonechillingly cold! Not very roomy, either.

Shower Power: Pathetic. The RV shower could have done better, according to Ben!

Hot or Not?: Never really hot, but sometimes it got almost warm enough, and then plunged in temperature to our obvious frustration.

What Made it Nice: Well, we got somewhat clean…I think! And we didn’t have to change in the frigid air of the bathroom because the RV was parked so close that we could walk to it in our tow...

Adventure Bound Camping Resort Showers, North Truro, MA

October 26, 2010

At First Glance: Very well lit. Each shower had its own fluorescent lightbulb. Also, very small. But a big long bench, and a big long shelf, and four double hooks outside the showers and two double hooks inside each of the four shower stalls. Also a tiny little shower caddy in the corner of the shower.

Shower Power: Nice, but again not an adjustable head.

Hot or Not?: Hot, and properly labeled too!

What Made it Nice: Lots and lots of hot water, and it was so not spacious that we all got o...

Comfort Inn Room 403 Showers, Woburn/Boston, MA

October 21, 2010

At First Glance: Wonderful! Spacious, beautifully decorated, came with a bath tub(!), and we were supplied with shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Shower also featured a shelf all the way around the bath tub, as well as a soap bar and an additional corner shelf.

Shower Power: Wonderful! If anything, a bit too much!

Hot or Not?: Wonderful! Flexible and adjustable, and the temperature controller was even properly labeled!

What Made it Nice: The heat, the power, the space, the relaxation, the a...

Saco/Old Orchard Beach KOA Showers, Saco, ME

October 16, 2010

At First Glance: Not very spacious, but somewhat clean. Bench, changing area shelf, and hooks outside the shower, as well as two small built-in shelves inside the shower.

Shower Power: Nice and strong, but not very steady. It pulsed on and off rather than offering a steady stream of water.

Hot or Not?: Plenty hot, although some showers took a while to heat up.

What Made it Nice: Free, hot, and hard. What else do we need?

What Made it Not-So-Nice: The changing area was very small, and th...
