So I found a great site at the Tolland State Park but it would be very difficult to back down into. I could pull down into it but there isn't enough room to turn around. I was thinking about using a trailer dolly to swing the camper around. The site is fairly level and hard packed dirt. Anyone have experience using one to maneuver in a campground?

If it's flat and SMOOTH you can probably use the dolly. I use my dolly when I am garaging my 178. I have to back it into a tight spot. It a level, concrete floor.

Well it's fairly level and hard packed gravel and grass. The good thing is I don't really need to move the pod, just pivot it 180 degrees.
