If you are on the road and are looking for a lodging option somewhere between camping and staying in a hotel, then an RV (Recreational Vehicle) Park might just be a perfect fit. You get many of the benefits of traditional camping along with extra amenities that can enhance your vacation. The campsites will have full electrical and water hookups along with other specialty conveniences that can be difficult to find on the road. Whether you are staying all summer or just for one night in an RV Park, you will feel part of a community of fellow travelers, and that can help make any vacation memorable.

Camping is a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors. Fresh air, open fires, and natural surroundings rejuvenate the spirit. However, the lack of creature comforts can be uncomfortable, especially when the weather is nasty, the bugs are biting, and there are no kitchens or bathrooms for miles around. Whether or not you own an RV, you will appreciate the fact that an RV Park usually has bath houses with showers and someplace to get out of the weather. Often, there will be a swimming pool, exercise/game room, club house and restaurant to enjoy.

If you are traveling in an RV and choose to stay in an RV Park, you will appreciate having full hookups for electricity and water, and sometimes even internet and cable TV. If your sewage tank needs to be emptied or propane tanks filled, there is usually a station on site for this purpose. Often the office will sell specialty items for RV’ers.

Although most RV Parks cater to travelers visiting for a short while, it is not uncommon for some visitors to actually be residents for an entire summer, or every summer for that matter. This fosters a sense of community and the social aspect of staying at an RV Park can be really fun. Give it a try next time you want a little extra!
