What campers like
Large dog parks: Many RV parks feature dedicated pet areas with washing stations. "They have a great, big dog park & an indoor, air conditioned dog spa with several really nice dog wash stationed with temp controlled water, not just cold," writes a camper at Hilton Head National RV Resort.
Natural shade: Live oak trees with Spanish moss create natural cooling at several parks. "Great campground with lots of shady oaks draped in Spanish moss. Large pool and a nice laundry/shower area," reports a visitor to River's End Campground & RV Park.
Pool complexes: Beyond basic swimming pools, some resorts offer expanded water recreation. "The pool, lazy river, Tiki Bar and restaurant area was top quality, providing plenty of lounge chairs, tables/w umbrellas, and free pool floats for the lazy river experience," notes a Hilton Head National RV Resort camper.
What you should know
Seasonal reservation needs: Advance planning is essential during peak periods. "We were able to book a week at this brand new RV resort. The sites are HUGE 70ft long 20ft wide, full hook ups with a state of the art Eaton control pedestal for your water, cable and electric connections," a Hilton Head National visitor explains.
Monthly minimum stays: Some parks require extended bookings. One camper points out that Hardeeville RV has "Stays here are longer term – with a month being the minimum; There's a $125 refundable security deposit, but as long as you don't destroy anything while you're staying there, you should be alright, with the deposit being applied to the electrical bill, which is due upon exiting."
Alternative facilities: Unique campgrounds may have non-standard facilities. "Toilet is liquid in the front and solid in the back, so everyone has to sit down to use the toilet. The shower is outside, with an open bottom. Heated water and changing room with a mirror," reports a visitor to Heirloom Hamlet.
Tips for camping with families
Look for entertainment options: Some resorts offer activities beyond swimming. "They have a large pool with lazy river and a very nice playground. The bathrooms/bathhouse is very luxurious. It honestly reminded me of the a high end hotel resort," writes a visitor with four children at Hilton Head National RV Resort.
Consider interior campground transportation: Larger resorts may require vehicles for getting around. "We are renting a golf cart next time we go so we can ride around the entire park because it is very large," notes one family at Hilton Head National.
Check beach access: Proximity to beaches varies between parks. "Nice park and close to beach. Many sites with shade. Could be tight for big rigs," explains a visitor to Spacious Skies Savannah Oaks, while another camper adds, "It's about 10 minutes to downtown Savannah."
Tips from RVers
Site leveling requirements: Ground conditions affect setup ease at different parks. "The sites are very level. Our auto level wasn't working but we were able to manually level with no problem," reports an RVer.
Online reservation limitations: Direct contact may reveal more availability than websites show. "Call if you don't see availability online. I've never seen a tent here, but that area in front of the office is good for a tent. We've camped twice in our teardrop in this area," advises a Red Gate Farms visitor.
Wi-Fi reliability: Network performance varies significantly between parks. "The internet is GOOD! in the afternoon of our arrival. I have streamed some HD video and it is solid. I didn't bother setting up the EARTHLINK dish which would work well here because it is mostly open sky," reports an RVer at a nearby resort.
