Whether you’re staying a few weeks or a few months, having your RV nearby makes for easy access to all the top sights and areas.

Typically, you’ll see swimming pools, hot tubs, barbecues, laundry facilities, and some type of activity center like a clubhouse. More upscale resorts may also offer an onsite restaurant, pet areas and trails, tennis courts, golf courses, cleaning staff, 24-hour security, and more. The type of luxuries will depend on the individual resort,where it’s located, and how it was built.
