Different strokes for different folks rings true for campsites. But picking the right camp site for your RVing situation is a big plus to a good trip. With so many camping options, you’ll want to consider the following when deciding on your destination.
Do your research before you head to a new area. Some roads are NOT RV friendly, some are sparse for fuel, some will not have any cell service. Although it may seem fun to be spontaneous, you’re already having fun by camping so it’s best to minimize risk in case something goes sour.
A flat spot can make a big difference. If you manually level out your RV selecting a level spot is a game changer. Many units however have auto-leveling but even if you’re rig is leveled automatically you’ll want your chairs, tables and anything else you use to relax outside to not be at a slant.
Don’t let the rain or snow get you stuck in the wilderness! Pick a spot that seems to have good drainage so your tired don’t get stuck in the mud or your RV doesn’t get flooded. Checking the weather ahead of time is a great way to stay prepared and prevent any unfortunate surprises. If you might get some nasty weather keep in mind slippery hills that your RV might need to climb to head out.
Money isn’t the answer to everything, but it sure does help. If you have a budget you’ll want to compare pricing of different camping options. Boondocking is free, campgrounds can be inexpensive, RV Resorts can be costly but some have memberships that make it very affordable.
Would you like a peaceful spot with other campers or somewhere for just you and your family? Check out how busy the spot will be and what kind of camping happens there. Keep in mind there are RV Parks in Las Vegas so don’t expect just because you’re “camping” that it will be peace and quiet. Make sure ahead of time that it’s the atmosphere you’re looking for.
You may need to stock back up with supplies, food, water, etc so consider how long you can survive with what you have and where the nearest place to restock is. When we are traveling long distances we will often spend a night boondocked in a Walmart parking lot and restock before we get to our next destination.
Use these tips to help YOU in finding that perfect spot for you perfect RV Vacation!
