Tips from RVers
Hookup considerations: Mound Ridge offers recently upgraded electrical connections. A visitor reports, "Excellent facilities. Clean bathrooms with showers. New electrical posts."
Leveling requirements: Some sites require additional equipment for proper leveling. At Stonelick State Park, one RVer explained, "We camped at site 35 and it was very slopey, our levelers only helped a little."
Internet access: Connectivity varies across campgrounds. At Wilmington RV Resort, a camper noted, "I use Starlink and T-mobile 5G. The T-Mobile seems to be working best here. The cell booster I have made it go from 'good' to 'excellent'."
Water fill stations: Deer Creek Camping Resort has distributed water sources rather than central fill stations. "The only negative was the lack of a central fresh water fill station. Spigots are dispersed throughout the camp, which means sitting in the road for as long as it takes to fill your tank," advises an experienced RVer.
