were old time campers and remember the way it used to be but we always look for:
1. pet free campground
2. or a pet free area
3. pet free RV site
4. pet free area
5. were still looking
6. any place thats quiet
7. did I say a dog free campground
8. away from crowds/conventions
9. still looking
7. away from play ground equipment
8. nice relaxing atmosphere
9. away from interstates especially next to the bottom of a hill (cattle haulers with straight stacks with engine brakes}
10. and dog free
as you can see were still looking for the good old days camground when folks went camping to get away from it all.

One thing I do not remember seeing on anyone's list was Wi-Fi availability. When we travel for long periods (more than 1 week), it is essential that we have internet availability. Unfortunately, we have found that many CGs advertise Wi-Fi, only to find out that it is limited coverage or "broken and is to be fixed next week".

There's several problems with this poll -
as 'coptalker' indicated - not all of us have the same preferences.
Do you boondock - or prefer hookups?
Close to "attractions" - or away from it all?
Size of trailer (and/or tow vehicle) can change everything too.
Lastly - do you normally bring enough beer - or require re-supply?

Okay, so I went too far and crossed the line.
The great thing about RVing is that you can go different places and experience new things and when your done you can move on.
I am proud to say we have only used hook ups a few times as we like to boondock where most of these "NO" rules do not apply.
Happy Camping?

Our #1 priority is to see what ratings a potential RV park is getting in www.RVparkreviews.com. If the reviews aren't good, We don't care what the park offers, it's a no go.
When we go to a really fancy park, we put our pink flamingo's just to annoy the uppity types.

Try Not being 20+ miles away from the nearest store, gas station or bank. That is unless you are just weekending it and carry a weeks supply plus of your needs. One other very important consideration is cell phone coverage. If you can get a good reading on your phone before registering that is helpful. I'm in a fringe area for t-mobile and can only use my phone if I am outside the trailer. Same goes for internet access.
Fishing access is also important. Next year I will find a place with fishing access, the closer the better.
