RV Camping in our National Parks

We are all more than eager to start planning vacation time now that the good weather is finally here.  A popular destination for enjoying our highly diverse, beautiful country is to travel to one of the National Parks, but before you go, be sure to research what each park offers in terms of RV friendly sites.  This is where the Internet can be a great help in providing all kinds of information and tips.  You can even download a free copy of the National Park Service's complete guide to every park, national landmark, and historic site in their system. 

You want to keep in mind that most of the National Parks offer a variety of different camping options.  Some campgrounds accept reservations in advance while others operate on a first-come, first-serve basis (or a combination of the two).  Furthermore some National Park campgrounds do not provide electric, sewer or water hook-ups.  These offer a wonderful rustic camping experience for the whole family, but you will want to be aware of that beforehand so you know what you are getting into and are prepared.

One the easiest way to make your plans is to use one of the online reservation sites for the National Parks.  Reservation.gov handles advance reservations for camping and lodging as well as activities for the National Parks or the U.S. Forest Service that includes 2,500 federal areas and over 60,000 facilities.   The handy search parameters allow you to put in a state or a particular park you wish to visit, the length of your RV, and the dates of your stay.  It brings up a description of each campground in your criteria and tells you whether it has hook-ups, RV sites, available openings, and much more. 

Once you narrow down your selection of a campground, you can read all about the park and the natural features and activities in the area.  There is a map that shows the layout of campground and lets you take a look at a short description of the different campsites.
