Tips from RVers
Site dimensions and leveling: RV camping spaces vary significantly between facilities near Coopersburg. "Sites are nice, the park is clean, and convenient to I-78. It is set in a rural area surrounded by fields and pastures which makes for a peaceful setting. Roads and campsites are gravel and very easy for RVs of any size to navigate," reports a camper about one park.
Entrance access challenges: Some properties have difficult approaches for larger rigs. "The entrance made for a challenging entry up a steep grade, narrow roadway, and sharp turn in. I made it without problems, but it wasn't easy in a 45' motorhome towing a Jeep," cautions an RVer about one property.
Buddy sites can be tight: Some campgrounds feature paired sites that may feel cramped. "The buddy site was very narrow and since our buddy arrived first we had no choice but to park farther down on the site to avoid our awnings touching and that left us very uneven," explains a camper at Appalachian Camping Resort who found site selection important.
