I have just turned 60, but I still have middle-school aged children. (Yes, I should have known better.) My needs/wants will be different than other older RVers.
1. For me, sites must be of decent size in length since we are 43' of camper and 25' of truck; it needs to be wide enough I can put out my opposing slides and awning without hitting my neighbor. I would really prefer to be 25-30' away from my closest neighbor so I don't hear them discussing personal things or yelling at their kids.
2. I want a good pool to SWIM in and another for kids to play in.
3. I want FHU with GREAT WIFI, good cable TV if OTA is not available or limited.
4. I want the speed limit of 10 mph or less ENFORCED.
5. I want a nice bath house with toilets, but with individual shower rooms so people with young children can take their child no matter what sex they are.
6. I want a list of restaurants that will deliver food to my RV with a menu either available online or in the office.
7. I want office staff that are kind, informative, congenial and helpful.
8. I want a camp host that is available to point me in the right direction for most things that I need/want.
9. I want rules and regulations posted and ENFORCED for everyone. (quiet hours, barking dogs, walking and cleaning up after dogs, etc.)
10. I want a playground that is easily accessed in the campground and not located away from where I am set up. I don't want to go, but be able to check on my kids without looking like I am checking up on them. (They are that age.)
11. I want some supervised age-appropriate activities for kids, pre-teens and teens.
12. Nice, clean laundry facilities.
13. Early check-ins and late check-outs, if needed.
I'm sure as soon as I hit the POST MESSAGE, I will think of 5 other things that I should have put in here.
