Tips from RVers
Site selection strategies: Corner sites often provide more space. "Site 41 doesn't have any close neighbors and is probably one of the best sites in the CG. You are near the first tee, and we enjoyed watching golfers tee off," advises an RVer staying at Wanee Lake.
Power management: During peak summer and winter months, electrical systems at some parks may be strained. "Our Bulldog surge protector didn't like their 50 AMP so it kicked our power on and off when we ran heat pumps with other appliances," reports a Wanee Lake camper.
Local services: RVers can find supplies and services near most campgrounds. "Groceries at Dollar General are cheaper than Piggly Wiggly. Katz Veterinary is a good place for basic vet needs," advises a frequent visitor to the Albany area.
Water quality checks: Initial water connections may require flushing. "We did get some brown water when we first connected, but that cleared after running the water for a few minutes," notes an RVer at Wanee Lake's newer camping section.
