Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
The website indicates that the distance to electricity varies from site to site, with most listed at 10-20 yards. is that correct? I thought most places had either one pedestal per site, or one (with four circuits) located in the middle of four sites.
We have found all kinds of hook-ups in state and county parks. It's very possible that the electric hook-ups are that far away from the sites.
I don't know about this park, but we have also found the electric to have very low voltage at some of the older parks that have not been up-dated to accomodate the needs of current RVs. Are you shure that these are even 30 amp circuits? Some of them only have 20 amp circuits.
It's alwasy a good idea to keep an eye on the voltage coming into your RV, especially if you will be running your AC. Low voltage can ruin your AC compressor in a short time.

David, I have not been to that particular park, however if you got that info from the Ind DNR it is probably correct. Most Electric post in our State Park system are pretty close, with water being a completely different story. Some of the older parks that haven't been renovated for several years the elec post can be pretty far away. Yes you have better be prepared for a long elec run and (unless advised otherwise about your paticular site) you will need to find a water spigot in the campground to fill up your fresh water tank prior to unhitching. Sometimes the closest water spigot is like 10 camp sites away. This is for State Parks only, and even the newer State Parks are getting much better about the water and electric.
