Tips from RVers
Road navigation: Some parks present challenges for larger rigs. "Must be an experienced driver to navigate the tight lots and roads. Smaller sites and not much grass for dogs," advises a camper staying near Superior.
Leveling requirements: Prepare for uneven sites at some parks. "Needed levels on one side of our RV; dirt roads throughout so, unless it rained, it was very dusty and so we didn't open our windows as much as we wanted," shares an RVer.
Connectivity considerations: Internet access varies widely among Superior area RV parks. "Cell Service: 3 bars of 5Ge on AT&T. My personal hotspot worked great here. WiFi: Slow, but strong signal and definitely usable for light web browsing," reports a camper at Dakota Ridge RV Park.
