Gogo's take on Wilders Mobile Park
“Go with care. Wilders Mobile Park is a quiet, tight-knit manufactured home community that poses little threat of violent crime to visitors. While it is primarily a private residential neighborhood without tourist attractions, general situational awareness is advisable due to surrounding auto-centric commercial corridors.”
