Tips from RVers
Site positioning: Many locations offer limited space between cabins and RV sites. "Sites are close together and semi-level. Bathrooms could use some TLC. But the park is nice with lots of hiking, views and close to Napa," reports Rich J. about Skyline Wilderness Park.
Utility connections: Cabin sites often share infrastructure with RV areas. "Due to some problems with sewer systems, they have had to turn it off. So just 30 and 50amp Electric and water," advises Craig & Linda L. about Delta Shores Resort. Water quality varies significantly between locations.
Access limitations: Many cabin areas have vehicle restrictions. "It's a bit too tight for large trailer or RV camping (unless you are an expert at maneuvering through tight spaces)," warns Tai W. regarding Samuel P. Taylor State Park. Vehicle length limits range from 24 to 35 feet depending on the campground.
