Tip for Other Campers:

Jim and Nick's BBQ is good. Premium Outlets are an easy drive 15- 20 mins away and one of the better outlet malls I have shopped at. Showers had awful water saver showerheads but I liked that you had a big, whole bathroom to yourself with shower, toilet and sink.

Small campground in the preserve. Some campsites are better than others. The back loop (sites 7 onward) seem to be the best. They are longer and more level. Roads are tight to RV around, so take your...

We enjoyed our stay. Its not full hookups but with only one night we didnt need to dump. It was quiet and a forest oasis in the city. We camped at McDowell Nature Preserve in a Motorhome.
