There are a number of cities and friends we would like to visit, and of course we prefer not to tow our RV in urban traffic or arrive at friends' houses with a 35-foot fifth wheel. :)
So as I've been planning our itinerary,
I've been trying to locate a decent state park reasonably close to each city/friend we'd like to visit, but that made me wonder...
Is it even permissible in most parks to leave an RV unoccupied for a few days (assuming the spot is paid for, no pets are left behind, and we do not exceed the maximum allowable stay)?
Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
First off "Welcome to the Forum" - as you have seen the info here can be spot on, and the earlier post have covered much of what you will need to know.
Just a couple of thoughts to add - Often we have left our unit and flown home - at a couple of the locations, after checking with the staff/owners we have been able to leave the Coach in a location that is more out of the way and at a reduced price.(If you don't ask, you'll never know)
The suggestion that you invite your friends to visit you is also on point, we have never had friends visit that we did not have a great time, and often it is easier for them. knowing the area, to drive home than for us to try to find the RV park after a great night of .......? Once in Phoenix we parked in the Wal*Mart - couldn't find the RV park - and our friends came by for drinks and we went out to Dinner. was so much easier for us, and they still talk about it whenever we see each other.
State Parks and Reservoirs are great but don't forget to check on local municipal parks (Golden Clear Creek is our all time favorite) we only found it 15 years ago by asking locals so once again "ASK" for local insight.
Enjoy your planning and let us know your locations, many here have great Knowledge of the local areas and can help with a ton of local Knowledge (2gypsies).
BOL,
