How do you guys look for RV Parks?
Hello all, just seeing how much people go on about looking for an RV Park? I'm not advertising my park or anything, just seeing the best way to market. I'm assuming most people just google it? ...

I did the same thing as 2gypsies - looked on RV Park Reviews. You have some stiff competition down there, with several parks above 7.5 and a few 10s. I tend to ignore reviews with fewer than 5 reviews and if there are no reviews within the last 6 months or if there are no reviews for the time of the year I'll be there. So with that in mind Bayou Bend is the only review I'd trust that the 10 is real.
To Stay:
1. In an area where I want to stay. If I'm picking an overnight, this isn't all that important, but we tend to stay at a park for 4-7 days and we like RV parks that are near scenic areas.
2. RV Park Review > 7.5 after throwing out the high and low and recent reviews.
3. S/W/E. Cable is a plus but not necessary. We do't care about WiFi because we use a cellular hotspot. Even when there is WiFi, we find it's so slow that Verizon is almost always better.
4. Reaonable price.
No Way Jose
1. We won't pay more than about $75 a night. If the park is spectacular and the area is someplace we really, really like, we may waive this requirement. Check out Hilton Head Island Motorcoach Resort for the kind of place we would waive the $75 a night rule.
2. Park reviews says "a lot of seasonals". I know they pay your bills, but in most places they form cliques and outsiders are not made to feel welcome.
3. RV Park Review rating < 6.0
I guess, what is really important when you are staying at an RV park? what are your definite "YES I WANT TO STAY HERE vs NO WAY JOSE!" criteria?
