Tips for RVers
Site selection: For more privacy and shade, choose older sections of campgrounds. "We chose to get a smaller campsite with just W/E because there are trees and shade, and it just feels a little more like camping," recommends Kim L. about Fox Hill RV Park.
Utility considerations: Most cabin rentals include electricity and water access. "Our spot, F-2, was right across from the playground and great for my kiddo. Only neighbors to the sides and woods behind. All site are pretty level with gravel pad and logically positioned utilities," notes another visitor.
Leveling requirements: Some sites require additional equipment for proper leveling. "Our site was very unlevel side to side. It took two 2x6 and a 1x6 under the camp side to be level. That made the first step into the coach, and last step out of the coach extremely high off the ground," advises Jeff G.
