Everything You Need to Know About RV Parks
The rise in popularity of RV Camping for family fun is undeniable. RV Parks can be found all across the country and offer an exciting way to see the sights while having all the comforts of your own space. RV Parks offer a great resting place for traveling visitors. Parks differ from campgrounds and RV resorts in many ways, but all have the overlapping similarity of offering a place to park. RVing USA makes it very easy to research and find the perfect RV parks on every trip.

What Are RV Parks?
RV parks are designed to host travelers for short and in many cases, long term stays. Parks come with differing size spaces to accommodate everything from small campers to large RV’s. They often offer a few dry spaces for folks passing through but spaces with full hook-ups to water, sewer and electric are the norm. The parks come in many different forms, but they are typically open to new and older rigs that are visiting on a nightly basis. Many will also offer monthly terms for longer visiting options. Expect to find a reasonable list of amenities at most parks with some even offering luxury amenities without qualifying as an RV resort.

Who Stays at RV Parks?
RV parks attract a diverse set of people with everything from families on vacation to full-time RVers. Snowbirds are not uncommon either, electing to spend a few months in different areas as a means of experiencing the best seasonal options. You will even meet people spending time in the area for work who want to save on hotel expenses without sacrificing the amenities. Many RV parks offer common area gathering places, restrooms, showers, a gym, pool, tennis courts and more. It all really depends on the park. You will encounter large, developed parks with a ton of amenities and other small, quaint parks with only a few spaces.

RV parks are often located near areas with tourism and attractions that bring people from around the country. National Parks, State Parks and even cities with concert venues, convention centers and other popular reasons to visit are all candidates for RV park traffic. You will also find parks spaced out along interstate corridors, acting as convenient resting points. Some are even attached to truck stops. The range of RV park settings is seriously diverse with something for just about everyone wanting a safe space to park with the option for hookups and some nice amenities.
