With so many different people, traveling for different reasons, and in different types of RV’s, there’s no doubt that what is most important for one RV’er may be equally unimportant to the next. When asking “What is most important to you when looking for a campground?”, we found that the array of answers is practically unending. Some people are in search of peace and quiet, enjoying nature, and relaxing, while others are on a mission for action. What you’re in search of will have great bearing on the campground you choose. One of the top responses we received when asking this question was, “An accurate description of the park, so we know what to expect”. If it says heated pool, then that pool should be warm (and clean!). If it says there are activities for children, then there should be some good activities and they should be run by people who enjoy children and know what they’re doing. There’s nothing worse than arriving somewhere that has falsely advertised their amenities and you are disappointed before you even begin. People want level campsites and many stated that it’s important to have staff that will in fact enforce the rules, such as making sure it does get quiet at quiet time. Making sure you do your homework first will ensure that you find the right fit for you and your family. We recommend not only researching the park on their website, but also take the time to read online reviews left by other campers and see what they have to say about their experiences. To help get you started, the folks over at tripleblaze.com have compiled a comprehensive list of the best campgrounds in the USA using their “unique campsite popularity algorithm that accounts for the average rating and number of reviews for a campground, the number of people who have camped or wish they could camp at that campground”. Tripleblaze is a great resource for the outdoor enthusiast. In their own words, “Tripleblaze.com was created to be the online starting place for your camping and hiking adventures.
