Tips from RVers

Noise considerations: Highway-adjacent sites experience traffic sounds. "It's loud by the highway. You can't enjoy your camping on half of the campground. So, if you are one to stay in your camper after playing all day, this park is for you," notes a camper at Splash RV Resort & Waterpark.
Connectivity options: WiFi and cell service vary by location. "The available over the air TV was excellent, plenty of stations for local information, news and weather. The Verizon service was also excellent for cell and data coverage," reports a visitor describing the technology amenities available at cabin sites.
