🏕️ How to Choose the Perfect Campsite for Your RV Adventure

Not all campsites are created equal—and choosing the right one can make your trip significantly more comfortable, peaceful, and fun. Whether you're heading out for a weekend at the lake or a week in the woods, here are the top things to consider when picking your perfect site.

🎯 1. Choose Based on What You Want to Do

Before you book, think about what kind of experience you want:

• Love fishing or kayaking? Try to find a site near the lake or boat ramp.

• Hiking your thing? Look for trail access nearby.

• Want to relax and unwind? A secluded or shaded spot can make all the difference.

Match your site to the kind of trip you’re planning—whether it's packed with adventure or all about peace and quiet.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 2. Consider Playground Proximity

Playgrounds can be a major bonus or a total dealbreaker depending on who’s coming:

• For families with kids, a site close to the playground is super convenient.

• If you’re looking for quiet mornings or early bedtimes, you may want a spot farther away from high-traffic areas.

Check campground maps before booking—most show the layout with restrooms, dump stations, and recreation areas.

🌳 3. Think About Shade and Season

Your ideal site changes with the season:

• Summer? Look for shade to keep the RV cool during the heat of the day.

• Spring or Fall? A sunny site can help warm chilly mornings.

Bonus tip: Know which direction your site faces. Having the awning side in the shade can make outdoor hangouts much more pleasant.

🧘‍♀️ 4. Seek Privacy and Quiet

Sites near bathrooms, dumpsters, or main roads tend to have more foot and vehicle traffic. For a quieter experience:

• Choose sites on the edges of loops or in cul-de-sacs.

• Look for sites with natural buffers like trees, shrubs, or water.

• Read campground reviews or browse photos to get a feel for spacing and noise.

📏 5. Make Sure the Site Fits Your RV

This one’s critical—especially for RVers. Always check:

• The length of the site (our Jayco is just under 30 feet long)

• Whether it’s back-in or pull-through

• If there’s room for your tow vehicle or slide-outs

• The surface type (gravel, dirt, or pavement)

We’re happy to help you determine whether a site is a good fit. If you’re using our delivery and setup service, we’ll also make sure everything is leveled and ready to enjoy.
