Tips from RVers

Water pressure concerns: Several parks have high water pressure. "The water pressure here is really good, so we used a reducer," advises an RVer at Hacienda RV Resort.
WiFi quality varies: Connection strength differs between locations. "Wifi was decent! Faster than average KOA. Verizon had full bars but was still a little slow for some reason," reports a camper at Siesta RV Park.
