A few locations I've been to on this trip the campground web site suggests not using your GPS based on address but instead to enter coordinates. As a pilot I have to agree this is a reliable way of ensuring a GPS finds the right destination to route to. I suggest campground owners post LAT/LON coordinates on your web site for visitors to use for navigation and if your campground is one where GPS's have a history of having navigation challenges suggest your visitors input the GPS coordinates instead.

For Garmin RV 890/1090 owners: I think this is something you have to turn on within the config to show a "coordinates" option for finding a location as I did long ago. Then when tapping the coordinates item to enter coordinates you'll find a wrench where you need to specify the format of the coordinates, typically it's going to be xx.yyyy.
 
But that would be a "common sense" type thing. Sorta like including the cg/rvpk Rules and Restrictions on the website. Not to mention including ALL the reservation requirements and exclusions on the reservation page. And people wonder why I don't bother with single night stays in cg/rvpks. Sometimes it's like they don't want anyone to show up. Easier to pull into a parking lot overnight.
