Camping in your RV gives you freedom to travel as and when you like, the options are almost endless. If you are planning a long trip in your RV where you will be stopping overnight at several locations, it will pay to do some research into campgrounds and RV parks before you start your trip.

Planning which campgrounds and RV parks you want to stay at is advisable because, although RVs are very popular these days, you can still come across some campgrounds that cannot accommodate RVs. If you don't plan ahead, you could find yourself doing some unplanned primitive camping, which is not to everyone's taste and won't be any fun if you are not equipped for it. It is far better to plan ahead so you know where the RV parks and RV friendly campgrounds are along your route.

Primitive Camping

Primitive camping, in case you are not familiar with the term, is camping in your RV without being hooked up to the basic amenities such as electricity and water supplies. This means you will have to use only supplies which you are carrying in the RV. If you are equipped with sufficient battery power and bottled water, primitive camping can be a means of coping with unforeseen circumstances but it is much easier to do civilized camping where you can enjoy the facilities available in one of the numerous campgrounds and RV parks to be found along your route.

It is easy to locate the RV parks and campgrounds on your route using the internet. There are plenty of specialized websites which offer reviews of the standards and what is available at the campgrounds and RV parks. These websites will also have price comparisons. Your local AAA office will also be able to provide you with this information and, if you need help with planning your trip, they will be happy to oblige. An AAA membership is, in any event, a good thing to have if you are planning to make a long journey.

Pull Through Camping

There are campgrounds and RV parks which offer "pull through" camping for RVs. Pull through is where you can just pull your RV into a designated camping space where your water and power hook ups are on the correct side. When you are ready to leave, you just pull forward out of your space without any need to reverse. Reversing an RV can be tricky, so pull through camping is a great way of avoiding any hassle relating to reversing out of a parking space. You do, however, need to check when you are planning your trip because not all of the campgrounds which will accept RVs offer pull through camping.

Avoiding Inconvenience

Running out of water or fuel or having nowhere to empty the septic tank can make life uncomfortable but, if you plan your RV trip to include stops at suitable campgrounds and RV parks, you can avoid these potential problems and make the most of the freedom of RV camping. There are plenty of places throughout the country that cater for RVs, finding suitable ones for overnight stops along your journey is just a matter of a little advance planning.
