Planning a RV Beach Vacation with your friends or family? If so, it
would be in your best interest to plan your vacation plenty of time ahead.
Regardless of where you intend to go (the ocean beaches, inland lakes,
reservoirs, or river campgrounds) most of the popular sites along the
water's edge are reserved far ahead of time. You don't want to miss out
on this great camping opportunity!
Planning your camping vacation in advance will help to ensure that you
are able to get a reservation. Camping is a very popular activity,
especially during the spring and summer months. You are likely one of
hundreds of people in and around your area who are also interested in
having a fun filled camping vacation, possibly even at the same time as
you. Unfortunately, many campgrounds have limited space. To ensure
that you are able to get a reservation, you will want to make your plans
in advance.
Making the reservation. You have made your decision as to which
type of water front campground you will stay. If it is a commercial
campground for RVs and tent camping, check out The Good Sam Club.
This million member club has listings of thousands of water front
campgrounds and each one is rated annually for cleanliness, service,
location, amenities, etc. As a club member you will receive a discount on
your stay. Perhaps you have decided to stay at a State Park
campground.
Reserve America is a nationwide reservation system that handles many
of the State Park reservations. We recommend going directly to the
State Park web site for a complete description of the park and camping
facilities. Here you will usually find a map of the campsites as well as
camping rates. Once you have chosen your camping site, click on
reservations. If your choice is one of the many federally owned
campgrounds along a major reservoir or in the national forest, this
reservation web site should get you the information you will need.
Enjoy your next beach camping vacation. Make your reservation well in
advance and plan your trip with a camping checklist. Knowing that you
have brought all the necessary supplies with you and that most of your
activities are planned ahead of time will make this vacation one to
remember in the years to come.
Where you camp (tent or RV) is probably the
most important factor in determining the
outcome of an enjoyable beach camping
vacation. It is strongly advised to do your
research and get recommendations from
friends and others who have already
experienced beach camping. Discuss
with your family where they prefer to go, what
activities you want to plan, distance to travel, and of course your budget.
Each of these considerations will make a substantial difference whether
the camping trip is a memorable success or a disappointment.
Booking your beach camping location
well in advance may also help you get a
better camping spot. What many
individuals do not know is that many
campgrounds allow their campers to
choose a specific campsite in their
campgrounds. By viewing a map of the
campgrounds, you may find that the perfect
camping spot is located next to the water,
or perhaps you would prefer one that is
closer to a hiking trail. With that in mind,
however, it is important to know that
the longer you wait to make your camping reservations, the fewer "prime"
camping sites there will be available from which to choose.
