First-Time RV Camping: Essential Tips

Planning your first RV camping trip? Don't worry - we've got you covered! Here are essential tips to ensure your adventure is smooth and memorable.

Before You Go

1. Plan Your Route

Map out your journey ahead of time, including rest stops and fuel stations. Remember, RVs need more time and space than regular vehicles.

2. Check Campground Amenities

Not all campgrounds offer the same amenities. Verify hookup availability (water, electric, sewer) and any specific requirements.

3. Create a Packing List

Don't forget the essentials: bedding, cookware, flashlights, first aid kit, and outdoor chairs. Our campers come equipped with many basics!

4. Arrive Early

Give yourself plenty of daylight to set up camp. It's much easier to level your RV and connect hookups when you can see clearly.

5. Be a Good Neighbor

Respect quiet hours, keep your site clean, and say hello to fellow campers. The RV community is incredibly friendly!

6. Embrace Nature

Put away the electronics and enjoy the outdoors. Build a campfire, go for a hike, and watch the stars.

Safety First

- Always have a fire extinguisher handy

- Know where the nearest hospital is located

- Keep emergency contacts accessible

- Check weather forecasts regularly
