Stay at a park a month or more then move on and do it again?

Am getting ready to purchase an RV and was thinking about RVing pretty much full time at least for a year or so and see the country. To save money I was looking at doing a lot of boondocking rather than pay for nights in an RV park.

Then I noticed that some parks have monthly rates that are ridiculously low. Some as low as $250/month! Some with full hookups and some have you pay extra for the electric you use.

So I'm thinking that I could perhaps see the country at a more leisurely pace, staying at a park for a month or so and explore the surrounding area in my toad then move on to another area.

I know snowbirds kind of do this, staying 6 months or so in one park. So, any downside to this? Thx.

  • I did that for about three years, off and on ... and had a great time. Did it in a 4x4 Truck with a Truck Camper so it could go pretty much anywhere, and could also drop it in CG for day trips.

    Saw a lot of the country, and a lot of the back-country as well. Easily made it a week without hookups, but still used hookups when available, to charge up and dump, fill water, shop, etc.
  • Common practice for full timers and snowbirds. If you don't want to stay a month, many have a discounted weekly rate although not as good as the monthly rate.
