What you should know
Water hookup configurations: Several Grantsburg area RV parks have shared water connections.

Our host(s) were prepared with the connectors in hand but seemed a bit surprised that we might need them."
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds have uneven terrain. A visitor mentioned that at Banning RV Park, "Our sites were grass that was a little long and rutted from what seemed from previous tenants.

Tips from RVers
Bring extra hose length: Water hookups at Country Quiet RV Park and Campground and other area campgrounds may be far from sites. One Banning RV Park visitor warned: "Ours source ended up being 75' plus from our RV. Thankfully I just happened to be carrying the extra hose for several years but never had to use it before."
Plan for challenging site angles: RV site configurations can present backing difficulties. At Grand Casino RV Resort, one camper noted their difficulties: "The designers of this park have clearly never spent a night in an RV. This place pushes all of my buttons for things not to do when building an RV park. Virtually every site in the park is a blind back in from the driver seat."
Check seasonal availability: RV camping options near Grantsburg vary by season. At Wildwood RV Park, sites are available from "May 5 to October 8," while Country Quiet operates with a more flexible schedule suitable for RVers seeking off-season accommodations.
