Can I use a back in spot with my Minnie Winnie? YES! (and no). Of course you can, but if you have "Dive-in" opportunity please reserve a Dive-in location first so more people (and trailers) can enjoy the park.
I have a 26 foot trailer, can we reserve a 60x30 site? YES! (and no). Again, of course, you get to choose your site. Please choose a site that fits your RV/trailer size so others can also enjoy the park.
Is this a Campground or RV Park? YES! BOTH! MMC allows RVs, travel trailers, fifth wheels, car camping & tents at every site.
