GPS challenges: Navigation to some campgrounds requires attention to detail. At Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, a camper warned "A little tip about GPS: if you're using Apple Maps, it will likely take you to a turn that is not the campground entrance, there's even a hand-written sign on someone's lawn that has directions to the entrance (seems to happen frequently, I guess)."

Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Many campgrounds offer organized events for children.

The live band was cool." They added that staff informed them "there is an 18+ comedy show but there was a children's movie being played on a big screen on the other side of the campground."
Site selection: Families should consider site location and privacy. At Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts, a visitor recommended choosing sites carefully as "the sites are level and a decent size with a picnic table, fire pit, shaded by the tall pines." Similarly at Seacoast Camping and RV Resort, a camper noted "Sites are close together but everyone was very nice."
Seasonal considerations: For families with school-aged children, timing impacts experience. One camper at Beach Rose RV Park recommended visiting in shoulder season, noting "We had just one night here and loved it. Felt so welcomed by the hosts. Lovely clean site."
Tips from RVers
Electrical concerns: Douglas Forest RV Resort has received mixed reviews about electrical reliability. One camper reported concerns about "Multiple RVs sharing single pedestals and exposed wire connections." For electrical safety, they recommended: "If you go take every precaution from the electrical. Its dangerous."
Maneuvering logistics: Site access varies greatly between campgrounds. At Seacoast Camping and RV Resort, one RVer noted "The roads in the park are fairly narrow and we had to drive over the grass across from our site in order to back in. Lucky for us nobody was parked in that site."
Reservation specifications: When booking, request specific site details. At Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, a camper advised "You do not get a choice during the online booking to choose the campsite to reserve & the site # is not included in the confirmation email." This can lead to surprises upon arrival regarding site quality, size, or location.
