Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Check length and width restrictions when booking. "The roads that lead to the sites is a bit narrow, so if your towable is on the long side, you might have to work a bit to back it in. The maximum length is 38. We had 30/50 amp electrical and water," advises Patrick J. about his experience at Moro Campground.
Hookup specifications: Verify available connections before arrival. "Great place to stop and watch the bread float," notes Tristan H. about Bonelli Bluffs, which offers full hookup capabilities.
Parking regulations: Some sites have specific requirements. "If you are in anything other than a motorhome you will need to pay for your vehicle to park! The 40ft RV length restriction includes the length of the hitch," warns Prentice F. about site rules at Anaheim Harbor RV Park.
