Camp site selection

So I'm curious, when you pull into a new park for the first time what process do you use to select a site?
  • Overnight: Long level pull thru with site line for satellite. Electric 50 amp at least.
    Longer stays: Level, site line for satellite or cable, water, electric, sewer, room for slide outs and some space between sites.
  • It depends somewhat on how long we expect to stay. For a quick overnight stop we're not very picky, and will pretty much take whatever site they give us. For longer stays, we've usually "scouted" the layout on Google maps or Google Earth, and have an idea of which sites we think are preferable if they're available. Occasionally, we find a site we like better after being there a day or two, and may ask to move if we're going to be there for awhile.
  • Relatively level. Prefer treed sites for shade. Firepit is always nice. And of course, full hookups!
  • Number one annoyance: Tree branches. Don't want trees messing with my roof, or touching anything. Plus,they're dirty and drop junk on my roof which makes noise.

    Traffic noise: Get me as far from the road as possible.

    Level: I don't want to have to twist the frame getting level.
