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? ...

In your area and market, long termers appear to be the norm. That means construction workers( as I used to be) If that is your business model, hiway signage and the like is a waste, contact with the unions like mine 'UA' may be a way to go. Construction workers wont care about fancy amenities unless they are geared towards the family at 'home' while he works.
When I was in the trade, we found camps by word of mouth or at the union hall.
You do yourself disservice by trying to fill your camp with cheap rates. Never do you want to be the cheapest place, that is for the dump that attracts schoolies and that ilk, will chase away higher quality folk. Pay no attention to the reviewers who only seek out deeply discounted camps. Thats not your model.
Access points for wifi do not matter unless you also have the bandwidth to carry the load. This is NUMERO UNO! for travelers and residents alike today.
If you feel you are in a location to attract short term, ie overnight or weekly travelers, then you have to approach it a lot differently. You will need pull throughs, a dump station, propane dispenser, laundry, etc. all in the premium area of the camp, not the dumpster area.
Now that we travel a lot for recreation, not for work, word of mouth is still tops, but when we lack that we use the Good Sam Travel Guide, back it up with rvparkreviews, facebook and google earth. Even our GS Magellan GPS knows every camp in the book just ahead. For an overnight it will show us all forms of camps, wallys, anything.
Never been surprised when using those tools. They are at everyones fingertips, even when on the road an hour away.
Work on google. facebook. our 8356 likes for our 99 site camp tells a lot. watch tripadvisor, rvparkreviews, use their comment features to refute or thank the review.
Engage a consultant if you are not experienced rvers yourselves to maximise your camp. I can recommend some.. Beyond a doubt concencus amongst travelers is space. And they will pay more for it.
You are asking the choir here, not the congregation.
