Anyone stayed here that can comment on the directions in the US Military Campground web site on this RV park. SR 23 Low tunnel 13.7. High steep bridges. Is this a big concern?

    We stayed there for 10 days this spring. Didn't go thru the tunnel to get there as my Magellan Roadmate GPS routed me to the General De Gaulle Drive Bridge instead. Maybe slightly farther but no tunnel fears. That being said the host at the campground will give you info on how to get there. He also maintains you can transverse the tunnel by just keeping to the middle and take up both lanes. We have around 13ft 9in clearance on our RV so I was worried about the tunnel. Just an option.


    Thanks, I have the RVND7720 and I recall it has a setting to avoid tunnels. I don't mine the extra drive.

  • We stayed there 3 years ago. It was pretty new at that time, very nice, not very many RVs and thought it was great. Do not remember details of the route to get there but had no problems with our current and listed coach.
