While most campgrounds in the region offer sanitary dump stations, Cambridge City RV Park stands out with big-rig friendly sites but lacks sewer hookups at individual sites. During summer months, local campgrounds can become heavily occupied with seasonal campers taking premium shaded sites. According to a camper at Alma City Park: "The shady sites are taken by seasonal campers so our site, #4, was out in the open. The cable TV does not work, the city and cable company couldn't reach an agreement apparently." Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with Verizon reported to work well at most locations.
