What you should know:

  • Full Hookups: Look for campgrounds with full hookups for a more comfortable stay. Peregrine Pines FamCamp offers full hookups, which many RVers appreciate.
  • Plan for Coin-Operated Showers: Some campgrounds have coin-operated showers. A camper at Jackson Lake State Park noted, "Showers are coin operated (50 cents for a few minutes)," so bring some quarters.
