Tips from RVers
Check site dimensions: Verify that your RV will fit in available sites. "The sites seemed short, but people were able to park very large rigs in them. Check the site dimensions before booking or call the office to make sure you'll fit," advises a camper at Lincoln State Park.
Consider full hookup availability: Burdette Park in Evansville offers varied hookup options. "They have maybe 24 full hookup spots and about 10 or so without sewer. 30/50 amp electric on all. All pads are drive through and very level," shares a full-time RVer.

However we only got the spot because all the others were sold out. Many of the other spots were on hills and right on top of each other," reports a Lake Rudolph visitor about site conditions.
