Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Terrain varies across parks. A camper at Wills Creek RV Park explained, "The sights weren't particularly level, all gravel and the grass appeared hastily sown over unleveled soil with large clumps of clay and rocks present."
GPS routing: Alternative directions sometimes needed. "When we departed, heading back towards the interstate, you come to a stop sign. Our RV GPS and Waze wanted us to turn right on Mt. Zion Rd instead of going left as we did when we arrived. We took the right turn, and about the time the trailer swung, we saw the drop-off into the ditch," warned an RVer about navigation challenges.
Park layout consideration: Site placement affects convenience. "If you unhook and leave, you have a long, slightly curved road to back up on to get back in position to hook your rig up unless the site next to you is empty," advises a visitor about the practical layout at Northgate RV Travel Park.
