What you should know
Long-term vs. overnight stays: Many parks cater to both short and extended stays. "This is a RV park. Small sites. 15, 30, and 50 amp hookups. Has water and sewer. This place is fine for a quick in and out, it is not designed for a 'camping experience,'" explains a visitor to Rebel RV Park.
Airport noise concerns: Some locations experience early morning aircraft noise. "Incoming flights to Memphis start flying overhead at 4:15 am. They take a direct path over top of this park. They haven't stopped flying in every few minutes or so since then," warns a reviewer at Southaven RV Park.
Seasonal variations: Weather impacts site conditions at some parks. "They are working on adding gravel to the spaces, right now though when it rains you are in a swamp," mentions a camper at Agricenter International RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Look for RV parks with pools: Some locations offer swimming pools as amenities. "Super quiet, not equipped for many activities. Some covered picnic tables interspersed. Outdoor cooking allowed unless there is a fire ban," notes a visitor about Hollywood Casino RV Park.
Consider spaciousness between sites: Park layouts vary significantly. "This is the kind of RV park that you come to to go look at the close attractions. Almost all of the sites are buddy sites where your front door is facing your neighbor's," explains a camper at Agricenter International RV Park.
Check bathroom accessibility: Bathroom locations matter for families. "The bathrooms are quite a walk if you are further into the park. There are 2 restrooms with a shower in each. One bathroom was really clean and had a nicely tiled shower," reports a reviewer from Agricenter International RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Consider site registration processes: Check-in procedures vary by location. "Check In is a little tricky the first time, since it's done at the hotel check in. But we found out we can just park our RV and call to let them know what sight we're on, as long as no one specifically reserves it," advises a visitor to Hollywood Casino RV Park.
Monitor electric service quality: Some parks have electrical issues. "We experienced a problem with our Powerdog 50 EPO Surge protector getting an E1 and E2 code error from the pedastals. The errors state that if the power is above 132 or below 104 on line 1 (E1) or line 2 (E2) it will shut off park power," cautions a camper at EZ Daze RV Park.
Check after-hours arrival procedures: Late arrivals should know what to expect. "The park is nice and clean. Really quiet the night we stayed. But don't expect much Info or help if checking in after hours," mentions a reviewer about EZ Daze RV Park.
