3 Amazing Benefits of RV Parks

RV parks are growing in popularity with tourists and those looking for inexpensive housing. Guests use RV parks for a combination of short and long-term stays. With better rates than monthly rent or a night at a hotel, it is no wonder why many people are choosing to stay in RVs or other mobile living quarters. Furthermore, RV parks have long been a family-friendly option for travel and vacations. Here are three of the major benefits of RV parks.

RV parks can easily accommodate guests for one night or several months. Due to the way they charge for the space, RV parks will often provide deals to those who plan to stay for long periods of time. However, for those who plan to only stay for a short time, they also have nightly and weekly rates.

Also, because RV parks provide the space to park the RV and then basic amenities like Wi-fi, water, and sewage hook-ups, guests often feel more at home in the familiar space of their RV. It is also more private than a hotel because no housekeeping or staff enter the RV. Most find this ideal for long-term RV park stays.

For those on a road trip who simply need a place to sleep for the night, RV parks are generally easily accessible off major highways or near major tourist attractions like National Parks. Therefore, it serves as an easy place to park for the night and get back on the highway the next morning.

RV parks offer more flexibility than traditional lodgings. It is easier to come and go. Additionally, since the guest has the keys to their RV, there is no need to worry about hotel keys or others having access to their private space. With amenities provided, guests can work from the RV park, go on vacation, or even live in a long-term RV park. This kind of flexibility is rarely—if ever—seen at hotels.

Also, since RV parks rent a spot, guests can often drive their RV away for the day and not have to worry about losing their spot. However, many RV parks also have spots for other cars that guests may bring to easily get around the local area. Guests can essentially “move out” of their spot without worrying about losing it (in most circumstances, some RV parks may not allow this).

Even if hotels do offer such flexible options, they are usually significantly more expensive. RV parks may offer monthly stays for under the cost of a one-night stay for a decent hotel. Therefore, this is exponentially more cost-effective than hotels. Even with financing the RV, many long-term RV park guests find it more cost-effective than renting in cities.

RV parks—while offering privacy—encourage a better sense of community than other lodging types. With RVs parked near one another, guests are more likely to run into each other. Many RV parks also have community areas where guests can gather and get to know one another. However, for those who would rather keep to themselves, this is possible as well.

RV parks are also family and pet-friendly in most cases. This can naturally foster a feeling of community and bring people together. Some RV parks have playgrounds (or are near parks) or specified pet areas. Whether staying short-term or long-term, this can create a feeling of belonging and togetherness not seen in other forms of lodging at the same price point.

Finally, RV parks are generally part of the larger community in which they exist. They may be near local attractions, and restaurants, and often are owned and operated by locals. For long-term RV park stays, this can be vital to feeling like you are part of a community.

Long-term RV parks are becoming more common with the rise of remote work and a tough housing market. With flexible pricing and living conditions, they are a perfect option for many lifestyles. Additionally, the basic convenience and family-friendly atmosphere of RV parks has not changed. RV parks have many benefits that can fit the needs of many people.
