Campgrounds vs. Luxury RV Parks

Campgrounds vs. Luxury RV Parks

There’s an RV for Everyone

No matter what your needs or wants might be, there is most likely a size and style of RV to tick all of your boxes. Some people prefer a smaller rig, as they are typically easier to drive, require less maintenance and allow one to get up and go easier. Others prefer the space and ability to bring along more ‘creature comforts’ from home that having a larger rig allows for.

Just as there is an RV for everyone, there is also an RV park or campground for everyone as well. While some prefer using their RVs for boondocking or camping, others enjoy all the amenities, activities and surroundings of a luxury RV park.

Luxury Parks

With larger and more luxurious RVs increasing in popularity, so are luxury RV resorts. Appealing to glampers, luxury RV resorts typically include pull-through spots, full hook-ups, and amenities ranging from heated pools, hot tubs, fitness centers, dog parks, libraries, clubhouses, and more. Many also offer activities such as bocce, shuffleboard, pickleball or billiards and provide a full events calendar.

In addition to the full-range of amenities, luxury RV parks may also provide a concierge service to empty your tanks, giving you one less chore to take care of.  When searching for an RV resort, check out Good Sam or the RV resorts’ websites to find their full list of offerings.

Campgrounds

Not everyone wants or needs the full range of amenities (or price) that an RV resort has to offer. And although there are no pull-through spots at campgrounds, there is still much to enjoy. Campgrounds often catch the attention of the BoonDockers, who enjoy more of the seclusion from the world and the ability to enjoy the outdoors without the extra amenities. Some also enjoy campgrounds more as they often offer better views, walking trails, small fire pits at sites, and a grill for cooking delicious food each evening.

Whatever type of place you prefer to stay, be sure to do your research beforehand and to travel safely.
