Tips from RVers
Select sites strategically: At Hawkins Pointe RV Park, proximity to highways offers convenience but brings noise. Missy C. advises, "It's just really good gravel and some grass and a picnic table. The people in the office are really nice and helpful. If you need work on your rig, there are lots of places real close by as well as camping world."
Water pressure considerations: Check pressure regulators at hookups. One camper at Cedar Creek noted, "water pressure was slightly over 40 psi which made my water pump run continuously until I just shut it off."
Book pull-through sites when available: Jeremy D. recommends, "Stayed at this park twice now, both in pull-through spots," making arrival and departure easier for larger motorhomes.
