Tips from RVers
Cell service quality: Connectivity varies between campgrounds. "I have Verizon and at my site I had 3 bars and 5G. They do have free wifi and it was good at my site but the cell data was a little faster," reports an RVer at Hidden Haven RV Park.
Site leveling needs: Most pads require minimal adjustments. "There'll be no problem for any size rig. Plenty of pull thru sites and some back in. I chose site B33 so I could be along the tree line and close to the latrines. Very minimal leveling needed and only because I'm a little OCD," explains a camper at Hidden Haven RV Park.
Monthly rates: For longer stays near Clayton, Coopers RV Park offers extended-stay options. "David Bannister runs a very nice park. The spots are well spaced out.
