Campgrounds with shuttle buses?

Please share your list of campgrounds that provide area shuttle buses (either free or charge), along with those that feature easy access to good public transportation along with your general opinion on the rv park / campground.

I have only stayed at one with this sort of service, the KOA in Hot Springs, Arkansas which operates an on demand (call for return pickup) shuttle van to the downtown tourist area about 3 miles away as well as possibly other locations (dog race track in season) for a minimal fee ($5 per person roundtrip if I recall correctly), given the limited free parking in the tourist area it really works out to be a deal. Overall I would consider a good, but older KOA.

Campus Park and Ride | RV Customers in Philadelphia is the ONLY place to park an RV in the city. Shuttles run 24/7 to the University District hospitals as well as Septa bus, subway, trolley and train systems. If you're traveling by car, you are 10 minutes from Center City in one direction and the Airport in the other.

This is a retired trucking terminal with lots of flat pavement and hookups situated in an urban environment with lots of cameras and high fences. If you're looking for grass and trees, um... keep looking. They're not here. If you want easy access to and from multiple freeways and minutes from everything while being secure, welcome!

One more caveat: In exchange for the close proximity to the City, there are noises like trains, trucks, planes, helicopters, police, fire... you name it, you get it. It's the City! I'm here now and I've found that parking up to the left in the middle of the U shaped building is a better place to be protected from the noise.

Scottsdale Trailer Corral has a public shuttle near the entrance that will take you anywhere in downtown/oldtown Scottsdale. The RV park was just changing over from a trailer park to an RV park a year and a half ago when we were there. It had good bones and terrific location so if they did the conversion well it should be very good.

Travelers World in San Antonio is on a bus line and on the network of bike trails. The River Walk was about a 5 mile ride in.
