choosing the right RV park and your camping trip will be more

ammenites you want. Woodalls provides an excellent

Motorcoach.
So, you are thinking about joining the millions of North
Americans who enjoy camping and RVing each year, but you don't
know what to expect? A whole new world can open up to you if
you decide to try it.
For many of us, RV travel allows us to venture to all points
across North America. No matter where you decide to travel,
you'll find campgrounds and RV parks located throughout North
America that provide just the amenities and recreation you and
your family want -- from small campgrounds to luxury RV
resorts. And, as you will soon discover for yourself, the
problem with the RV lifestyle is not having to search long and
hard for a place you want to visit, but having too many places
you want to visit.
Families will find campgrounds and RV parks nestled in or near
the national or provincial parks, recreation areas, beaches,
mountains, major tourist attractions and large cities. Wherever
you live, there is an RV park/campground within easy driving
distance.
Like families throughout North America, campgrounds and RV
parks come in many sizes and personalities. For RV travelers
and campers, there's a park to fit every budget and wish list
of activities. Some offer a wide range of amenities, while
others provide the basics for a more rustic experience. When
choosing a park, remember there's something for everyone.
Today's privately-owned parks specialize in providing an
environment where you can enjoy outdoor recreation without
completely abandoning civilization. Some locations offer
camping/housekeeping cabins or RVs and trailers available for
rent. Some RV parks cater especially to adults and some are
really "kid-oriented".
On an RV/camping trip, families are not faced with the
interruptions of routine home life, yet they have the comforts
of home. RVing families are able to enjoy each other's company
and kids are free to be themselves. RVing means every weekend
can be a mini-vacation, allowing quick getaways with minimal
preparation and planning. In addition to family fun, RVs offer
parents an affordable vacation.
Camping - Types
Of Parks

There are a wide variety of parks
available across North America. What's the best one for you and
your family?
A campground is a camping area, usually in a
rural or natural setting. A campground accepts tents and
usually RVs. There might be little formal development.
Franchise parks belong to one of several
nationwide franchises and may offer membership discounts;
camping cabins; special events; cartoon characters; standard
rates, amenities and recreation; etc. The attraction of a
franchise park is knowing what to expect. KOA and Yogi Bear's
Jellystone Park (Leisure Systems) are two prominent
franchises.
An RV Park usually has devoted considerable
attention to formal site development. It generally caters to
RVs and their requirements. Often an RV Park does not accept
walk-ins or tents and sometimes does not accept tent trailers
or other non full-hookup units.
A Season Lease Park has sites available with
weekly or monthly rates. Seasonal sites provide for spending
the winter in the sunbelt, the summer near great fishing or
other similar long-term camping.
An RV Area in a Mobile Home Park is a special
section for RVs within a mobile home park (a park for permanent
living). It may or may not have its own recreational complex.
It is adjacent to and shares management with the mobile home
park.
RV Spaces are spaces that are reserved for RV
travelers at places such as mobile home parks, camp resorts, RV
dealerships/service centers and next to motels.
