Tips from RVers
Premium view site selection: At Apple Island Resort, "Study the sites carefully because our 'premium view site' looked into a boulder. If you squinted and closed one eye you could a piece of the lake out of one sliver of our windshield," warns Susan & Kevin W.
Sewer connection challenges: Placement of hookups can create drainage issues. Nancy W. notes at Apple Island Resort, "The sewer pipe was high off the ground which did not let it drain even with a 'slinky.'"
Big rig access considerations: Iron City RV Park provides options for larger rigs. "Located far out in nature, the views are breathtaking. Owner was really nice and helpful," reports Esther L., though RVers should note electrical hookups are available but the campground lacks the "big-rig-friendly" designation.
