Tips from RVers
Hookup considerations: Water and electric hookup locations can present challenges.

I personally used 50' of water line and 30' of sewer line."
Leveling challenges: Some RV sites require extra effort for leveling. "We had difficulty leveling one night in lot 3 but traded to #4 the next night and did fine. The many pull thru lots looked like a good level base," reports Craig T. about Berlin RV Park.
Dump station access: Access and positioning of dump stations varies between campgrounds. One RVer noted about Amish Country Campsites: "The dump station isn't the best it is on a hill so dumping ones waste tanks completely could be a challenge." Conversely, Mohican State Park receives praise for its well-maintained dump station that remains open year-round.
