Choosing an RV Site

 
When choosing an RV site there are many factors you should consider. Not only do you have to decide on the size and location, but you have to think about the hookups you’ll need as well. To make things easier, we’ve done the research for you. Here are some things you should think about before reserving your next RV site.
 

  • Level Ground. Is the ground flat or uneven? Although hills are beautiful, you don’t want to set up your camper on uneven ground. Try to find somewhere level to make your time more enjoyable (and less lopsided).
  • Site Parking. Do you want to back it in or pull it through? As you can guess, pull through spots are easier, but you might have to settle for a back in depending on how you prioritize all of these factors.
  • Site Hookups. What kind of hookups will you need? Some campgrounds offer only electric, only water, or both without the sewer connection. Make sure you determine what hookups you will need, and what type of hookups you’ll be getting before you make your reservation.
  • Site and Campground Location. Where do you want to be? Back in a wooded area, a lake view, or perhaps a spot near the restrooms? Many campgrounds will take requests for site locations ahead of time, but it’s not always guaranteed.

 
Some other things to consider are if you can access Wi-Fi from your site, and whether or not you’re close to the activities and amenities offered at your campground. No matter what you’re looking for, there’s a spot for you at 10 of the best RV parks in the U.S.
 

Top 10 RV Parks in America

 
There are two different types of RV parks: regular and luxury. Besides the price, let’s take a look at how they compare.
 
Regular RV Parks: Any decent RV park will have hookups, bathrooms, and maybe a playground or a few things for the kids to do. Some resorts may even have a pool and a few other activities.
 
Luxury RV Parks: At luxury RV resorts you can find additional amenities like spas, fancy clubhouses, community fire pits, golf courses, and so much more. Needless to say, at luxury resorts, you get what you pay for, and that includes the views!
