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!!
Howard And Linda always take their Jeep and scout out the campground for sites that will fit their setup and provide line of sight for their sat dish or has the best cell/ WiFi signal.
I usually look at the satellite images/aerial photos on Google Earth or Bing Maps of the RV Park to get a feel for how tight the spaces might be.
I never expect the staff to know much about RVs at RV Parks. I am surprised from time to time when they do know what they are talking about... 9 times out of 10 it's the owner though.

I have used hundreds of campgrounds over the years. I had an experience recently that made for "the last straw." Went to a CG, registered, and then drove to my assigned site. It was too small and not level. I had to manuver the MH back to the office (it was a very long walk) to get a site that would work for me. Over the years, that has happened way more times than I can count. Part of it is my fault for assuming that the staff knows what they are doing. So from now on, before I register and pay for a it, one of the CG staff is going to have to show me the site. Most of us would not buy a product sight unseen, so I don't fee this is any different. If the CG can't or won't provide that courtesy then I'll find a Walmart parking lot for the evening.

HHHHmmmmm.....and sometimes its just one of us doing a 90 day workamper gig......
I also would walk it in and view it prior to bringing the rig in...
In the New England area I find alot of campgrounds do not trim there Trees at 13 ft....this can be a hazard to roofs, paint and rooftop equipment if not spotted quick enough.
Level sites depend on the region your in and how much transit traffic passes thru the campground.........local weekenders dont pull up with 38 footers to "camp" for 2 or 3 days and off the main highways most campgrounds dont pave or slab sites
if they do ,you can expect higher rates.....I personally refuse to pay some one 40 - 50 dollars to park for the nite with my neighbor being close enough on one side that I cant open the awning and the one on the other side, with his burning fire pit within 6 feet of my unit
