Tips from RVers
Site selection guidance: Review park maps before booking. One camper at Splash RV Resort advised: "I would recommend looking at the map online, before booking, to make sure you choose the right spot for your RV as some are closer together than others."
Road access considerations: Some parks have challenging entry points. A camper reported: "The site itself was level however there was a bit of an incline to get into it which my hitch took a big chunk of concrete out of."
Laundry facility availability: Laundry amenities vary between parks. At one location, a reviewer mentioned "a small laundry area with clean machines," while another noted some campgrounds have "3 out of 6 dryers broken so it made laundry a bit challenging to do."
