There are numerous crowded, noisy, overcrowded RV parks that fail to provide RVers with the relaxed environment they yearn for. We aim to make it easier for you to have the best experience with our RV park that will give you some breathing room. Also, we are not concentrating on RVers whom annual mileage is minimal and whose stays are often only a few weeks or months long. Instead, we want to talk about the interests of RVers that enjoy visiting many various places and who frequently spend only a short period at one RV park at a time.
Let’s examine what leads an RVer to believe that RV Park near me unquestionably merits a return trip
Top 3 Features of a Good RV Park
First Impression
As the expression goes, a first impression cannot be changed. How accurate that is when referring to RV parks! What occurs when you enter the office for the first time? Either you feel truly welcomed or you get the impression right away that you’re just another number. Yes, there is a form to complete. We are aware of that. However, does the person at the counter only fill out boxes with raw data and ask routine questions? Or was there a warm welcome at first, followed by a conversation as to where you’re from and all the amazing things there really are to see and do in the region where you’ve just arrived, possibly during the administrative formalities?
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of a good first impression. A RVer will either start “seeing” this newly established park through the lens of a “good” feeling, that makes everything appear somewhat nicer, or via the more critical perspective of an unwelcome feeling deduced from the sign-in process when you’re all approved in, have your campground map in hand, and are headed to your site. Whichever emotion the RVer is experiencing will determine whether or not they have a positive or negative opinion of the park.
Spacing
Does the amount of “space” on the sites feel adequate? Is there enough space on either side of the RV to create the relaxing “light and air” feeling? Or do the locations seem more suited for storing RVs…? We are aware that while designing their parks, RV park operators must compromise between site space and profitability. Hence, there will be fewer revenue-generating units the larger each particular site is. Seldom are private RV parks (national, regional, or county) constrained by such considerations, allowing them to frequently offer RV parks with a great deal of space between sites.
We are aware of that. But, we are unlikely to see any of the spots where another park design has led to an unsatisfactory spacing that prevents any sense of seclusion for even more than a night. And definitely not on the way back. A park that is not built to handle at least some “large rigs” or units with doors may eventually see its customer base decline due to the rising size of RVs in use today.
Utilities
These are wonderful extras that are nearly “expected” in areas with higher daily rates. Yet, we are aware of several parks, mainly state or U.S. parks, that lack any facilities other than a single water and sewer site. Nonetheless, parks that are privately held are often required to include at minimum the “basics” — water, power (typically 50 amps), plus sewer. We don’t place much importance on the sewer connection because setting up and taking down all the equipment for a one- or two-day visit seems like a waste of effort. So many more parks have a remarkable inclination to build utility hookups in a way that is inconvenient.
