Camping In A Big Bend RV Park

Camping In A Big Bend RV Park


by Chasity Sheppard


Visiting national parks in the United States is a fun experience that will really help you understand the land and its history. It is cheaper than a resort vacation and just as much fun, especially if you enjoy fresh air and the outdoors. One of the most popular of these parks is Big Bend, and though some people elect to stay in hotels when they visit, some prefer to camp in a tent or RV. There are many Big Bend RV park choices in the area, you just need to know what to look for to find the best one.

One thing to consider when planning an RV vacation at Big Bend is whether or not the facility you choose to camp at has electricity. Some won't have electric hookups, while others do. Those that don't may have rules in place that allow you to bring your own generator, so find out in advance if this is the case.

Water is another big necessity that you want on your list. Some parks have water hookups that allow you to use your sink, toilet, and shower without a hitch. Others might not have these, so you will have to make sure you fill up the water tank on your recreational vehicle before you get there.

If you want to bring Fido on your vacation, make sure the park you choose allows pets. Some have very strict anti-pet rules, while others will allow you to bring a pet, through there may be restrictions. These restrictions might include leash rules, and you will likely be required to pick up after your dog, so be sure to bring some waste bags with you.

Internet is another amenity that some people just can't live without, almost as much as water or electricity. If you must have access to the web during your stay, make sure your park has Wi-Fi available. An increasing number of RV facilities are giving their patrons access to the Web, though you may incur an additional fee for access.

If you just want to camp for a few days, there are daily rates available at any local facility. However, you can extend your stay and go for a week or even a month if you prefer. The good news is that there may be some discounts available if you stay longer, so make sure to ask about it before you book your reservation.

Since the weather in the area is fairly temperate year round, most of the parks are open all the time. This gives you a lot of freedom when planning which days you plan to vacation. Call ahead and ensure that the one you choose will be open, even if the weather turns a little sour while you are there. It could save you a lot of trouble in the long run.

Going to a national park for a vacation will allow you to spend quality time with friends or family while also taking in some fairly breathtaking sites. If you stay in a Big Bend RV park, you will get to see even more of nature. There are lots of them in the area, so look for the amenities that you absolutely must have, and then choose the one that is right for you.
