If you recently joined the RV and camper van craze, welcome. But before you hit the road, you might want to consider adding a few of the best RV parks to your itinerary.
The beauty of hitting the road in an RV is that you can park almost anywhere but as any seasoned traveler knows, amenities like clean bathrooms and full hookups go a long way. Easy access to nearby attractions, scenic areas, and hiking trails along with appealing extras like a heated pool and hot tub, a fitness center, reliable Wi-Fi, spacious laundry facility, and spacious sites play a large factor in deciding where to park.
