Tips from RVers

Site access challenges: Many Gordon-area campgrounds feature wooded sites that require careful navigation. Sam C. at Nelson Lake Lodge explains: "The site was a little tight getting into with our 35' TT because of the approach. But we made it in with some direction from the campground host."

Hookup configurations: RVers should note potential hookup variations. "The water spigot was shared with the site behind us but there was already a 'y' connection installed. Good water pressure," reports Sam C., demonstrating the importance of checking specific site details.

Off-season limitations: Outside peak season, expect reduced services at many Gordon-area RV campgrounds. Kenneth B. notes that at Northland Camping & RV Park, "it appears the place is winding down it's tenure and it's reflected in the 'curb appeal' and infrastructure," suggesting researching current conditions before booking.
