There was a 25 percent increase in RV sales in 2021. If you’re ready to travel in an RV, choosing the right RV park is a big part of the experience.
What Do You Want?
Create a list of amenities you want or need at an RV park. This will help you compare options quickly and choose with confidence.
Choose the Right Location
Decide whether your RV park is a destination or simply a place to sleep. If it’s just for sleep, stay close to towns and attractions. If it’s the destination, you may prefer scenic surroundings and nature.
Consider whether you want modern amenities like running water, laundry, and Wi‑Fi — or a more rustic experience. Some parks charge additional fees for hookups.
What’s Your Budget?
Prices vary widely. Decide what you’re comfortable spending nightly, weekly, or monthly based on how long you’ll stay.
How Family-friendly Is the Park?
Families often want parks with kid-friendly activities and a lively atmosphere. If you prefer quiet, look for parks that match your vibe.
Bathroom Facilities
Even with an RV bathroom, clean communal restrooms and hot showers can make a big difference. Check reviews for details.
The Social Scene
Some parks offer planned events and activities, especially during summer. Choose structured parks if you like itineraries — or quieter parks if you prefer flexibility.
Choose Your RV Park
Make a list of needs and wants, then compare it to the campgrounds you’re considering. With a little planning, you’ll find the right park for your trip.
