What You Should Know
Site accessibility issues: Several RV parks have specific limitations. One visitor to Hidden Valley Mobile Home Park states, "This RV park is more of a place for permanent residents. When we went there were literally no spots available. We had to stay in the parking lot for the RV park."
Road conditions: Some campgrounds have maintenance issues. At A.J. Jolly Park & Campground, Jeffrey notes, "It's terrible road it ungraded sites are in level the approach to the sites are terrible it was t planes out very well not well maintained. It would make a better off road park that a premium RV site."
Campground policies: Each park has specific rules regarding pets, vehicles, and reservations. At Indian Springs Campground, one potential visitor reported being turned away based on their vehicle type: "When I told her I was traveling in my converted 2012 shuttle bus she immediately informed me that 'no, we don't take those vehicles here'."
Tips for Camping with Families
Playground availability: Choose campgrounds with kid-friendly amenities. At Winton Woods Campground, Jeremy K. reports, "Great campground and park. Plenty to do. Hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, splash park, etc." This makes it suitable for families seeking multiple activities.
Waterfront safety: Consider site placement when camping with children near water. At Tucker's Landing, one visitor mentions, "The kids could scooter around. Quiet but full. We'd definitely stay again. Very clean and safe."
Weather planning: Summer heat can be intense in this region. Jessica G. advises, "It is hot in June, so bring a canopy if your RV doesn't have one" when staying at Follow The River RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Many parks have uneven sites requiring preparation. At A.J. Jolly Park, Bobby C. explains, "The sites I'm at are on a hillside so think theatrical style site. None are level looking so you will need to know what your doing to level your rig."
Hookup configurations: Check hookup locations before arrival. At Indian Springs Campground, "The pull thru FHU sites were level and had enough room for our tow vehicle. There was a nice picnic table, but the placement of the fire ring was a little odd," according to Jessica L.
Seasonal variations: Year-round RV sites near Miamitown vary in condition by season. At Thousand Trails Indian Lakes, one camper noted, "The lot is gravel and very large for my small rig which was cool. It was nice and level, so I didn't have to do much. Because it's off season, there isn't a lot going on, but I'm ok with that."
