RV Camping Tips

Here are some RV camping tips to help make your next trip a success

One of the wonderful things about RVs and motorhomes is that you can take your home with you as you travel instead of staying in a series of hotel rooms. However, you will have to arrange a place to park your RV though and most often that will be in a campground. So, these are some RV camping tips that you will need to know to be able to camp successfully as you travel, and here they are:

Save 50% Off of Campsites with Passport America

• The smartest investment that you can make for RV travel is to buy a campground directory and use it regularly to map out your overnight stays in advance. It's a good idea to make your camping reservations in advance just to be sure that you have a place waiting for you when you arrive, the Trailer Life directory has loads of campgrounds listed that you can choose from. 

• If you aren't already familiar with a particular campground, it can be a wise move to only arrange a one night stay there even if you plan to be in the area for several days. The one-night stay will help you decide if this campground is a good fit for you. Many RVers have bought multi-night packages to save money only to find that the campground was not what they had originally thought. So just making a one-night reservation lets you become familiar with your camping arrangements and if all is well you can always get a multi-night package afterward. If the accommodations are not up to scratch, then you can just look elsewhere for the second night.

• For those that are over 62 and like to visit our country's national parks, you can get a America the Beautiful - National Parks & Federal Recreational Lands Annual Senior Pass that costs only $80 for processing and will entitle you to free entry to any national park across the country for life. It also gets you 50% off on all usage fees if you decide to stay overnight. Again, if you like to visit the national parks this can result in considerable savings over time.

Using these RVing camping tips can help you save money and time and help you focus on the thing that you really want to do, enjoy yourself as you travel all around this great country.
