What you should know

Tips from RVers

Escort service: Some parks provide arrival assistance. "The staff who escort you to your site and do a great job cleaning the sites between guests. The pavement was freshly blown and the gravel was raked in perfect rows upon arrival," notes a Distant Drums RV Resort camper.
