Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Bring additional equipment. Some campgrounds have significant grading issues. A camper at West Branch State Park reported, "On first impression we were not impressed with this park. First the water fill is on an incline so when our tank was 'full' pulling away from fill station it was really only 2/3 full."

Seasonal considerations: Most RV campgrounds close by mid-October. Off-season camping options are limited in the area. "We're at site 160. No electricity, no hook ups, but a HUGE lakefront site. We're in a self contained RV so it's not a problem for us. Beach is right next door too!" shared a West Branch State Park camper.
