What you should know
Terrain considerations: Some campgrounds require specialized vehicles for access. At River Forest Haven, Ryan G. advises, "Super cool to get tucked into the woods. Some of the spots are secluded and others aren't. Down side is it isn't assigned sites, so if your self contained like my van we went out for the day and came back to someone set up in our spot."
Train noise: Railroad proximity affects certain campgrounds. At Redbud Ranch RV Resort, one visitor noted, "But what made this place a 'no-go' for us were the constant nonstop trains running throughout the night! Almost unbearable!"
Traffic sounds: Highway locations mean possible road noise at certain sites. "It's located along the freeway, so there is some road noise. However, at night it was pretty quiet," reports Marnie G. about Austin Lone Star RV Community.
Visitor fluctuations: Seasonal and economic factors affect campground availability. At Oak Forest RV Park, Stephen D. observed, "Very hot, early July. Have noticed empty sites at all parks. Gas prices must be effecting travel??"

Overflow parking: Some sites offer additional vehicle space beyond the RV pad. About Redbud Ranch RV Resort, Denise V. explains, "This site is on a corner, so it was a little bigger. There's a little tree planted there that will give shade in a few years. Two of the overflow parking spaces were on the side of the site, so it was handy."
