RV drivers should be aware that some local roads near the lakefront have height restrictions due to older overpasses, so stick to main routes like Drexel Avenue and Ryan Road when navigating to campgrounds. The area's flat terrain makes for easy driving, but summer beach traffic can create delays on weekends, especially on Highway 32 and local lakefront roads.
