Recreational parks have been around for a long time and can be used for both camping and RV parking. These parks usually have all the facilities that hotels include, and are much less expensive than hotels. RV parks usually include picnic tables for eating, barbeque grills, electric and AC power, wireless Internet connections, pools, playgrounds, gift shops, and even fitness areas. They are typically owned by a private corporation such as Kampgrounds of America (KOA), and they scatter their RV parks around the country so that no matter where you go you can find a KOA that will accept your RV.
Before you travel to any RV park you should make a reservation just as you would for a hotel. They will usually charge you a base price that includes your length of stay and any water and electrical hookup charges they have. The prices are considerably less than hotels and offer any amenities that are on site. There are many great parks around the country, and by doing a quick search on the Internet you can find one in the area to which you are traveling.
The atmosphere at the RV Park is very family friendly. You will see many large groups of people having fun on the playground or basketball courts and enjoying late night campfires. Most people are very respectful of one another, and you each have your own area in which to sit and enjoy your vacation. Make sure to bring everything you need, such as a cooler with plenty of drinks and food, and outside chairs to soak up the sun. Along with your fishing poles and hiking shoes, you should be all set to have a great vacation.
