First thing to know about Sawmill Point Rec Site is that it is small, large RV's typically regret turning down the access road once they reach those sharp 90º corners. The sites are also not set up for larger RV's and thus, while this is one of the more scenic sites we suggest that larger RV's keep going to avoid tearing off roof mounted equipment and scratching up their paint.

With that being said, there are those of us that use our RV's to their maximum limits and a few scratches and dings are worth the solitude that places like Sawmill Point campground has to offer.
