How do you pick the RV Parks you stay in ...

Hey Guys,

This is probably a silly question but how do you pick the RV parks you choose to stay in while on the road?

There are so many websites I am never quite sure which to look at? Is there a particular IPhone application any of you use?

  • We tend to travel to a location, so we look for what camping options are near that location. depending on the length of our stay and what we are going to be using the campground for depends on what we look at. we tend toward state parks. if we are looking for more amenities then a state park offers then we will see what campgrounds are in the area. we consider cost of the campground, location to what we want to see and do in the area, and amenities of the campground, we also look to see how many seasonal sites the campground has, and how they are located within the park. Once we have picked a campground (or a few) based on that, we will check and see what rvparkreviews.com has to say. since we have been camping since before there were online reviews of parks, we have developed a fairly good "gut instinct" of what a campground is going to be like without reading reviews.
  • I first look on Passport America's site and then go to RVparkreviews.com.

    If I still have questions, which I normally do not, I ask here.

    We belong to three campground clubs - Ocean Canyon Properties, Coast To Coast, and Resorts of Distinction. On our RT from Texas to NY and from Texas to CA, we planned our stays at these clubs campground with the exception of staying at a SP in Texas and at the Air Force Acadmay at Colorado Springs.

    We plan our trips to be no longer than 250-300 miles a day and choose from one of the three plans - works for us.
