Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Experienced RVers suggest specific site locations at Anaheim Harbor RV Park. "Get a deluxe site if you can. The standard sites are essentially a large parking spot in a paved parking lot. The deluxe feel more like an RV site with a picnic table and grass," advises Jennifer H.
Cost breakdown awareness: RV travelers should understand complete fee structures. "You must pay for your family pet," and "any time it says grass it is synthetic grass - AstroTurf," warns Prentice F., noting these additional fees at Anaheim Harbor RV Park.
Bathroom timing considerations: Facility access timing varies between parks. "Only downside was that they lock the bathrooms from 8pm-730am," notes Derrick about Golden Shore RV Resort, a potential issue for those without self-contained facilities.
