RV (так в штатах называются жилые трейлеры) очень популярны. Существует очень много разновидностей, в том числе и с душем. Вот кое какая информация о паркингах и ценах:
Parks rated by atmosphere, ambience, access roads & facilities (all have full hookups unless stated otherwise) although many of the finest parks in the Northern States don't have sewer on site. The rating order should be considered generalizations and represent our personal experiences only.
Coast to Coast Resort parks-------------------resort atmosphere (max stay 7 days twice yearly at each park)
Military RV parks-----------------------------------on base shopping, personal affiliation, generally good sites
Good Sam, Escapees Rainbow & KOA--Lots of them, good touring locales, easy access, predictable
Corps of Engineers & BLM parks-----------Very large sites, well kept, on the water, no sewer hookups
Escapees parks-------------------------------------Great people, our own personal affiliation
Privately owned, non-affiliated parks--- Same as KOA, with little predictability, often less easy access
County, Municipal & State Parks-----------Often left natural, some parks don't have water, seldom sewer
Federal Parks----------------------------------------Sites too small, no hookups, very crowded. Poor maintenance
Parks rated by "cost": Please be advised, All Federal parks (not military), including Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), most State, County and Municipal parks have senior (65 or disabled) discounts of 50%. That would throw this listing order off considerably. If that is your case, revise the order.
Coast to Coast Resorts---------------------------$4.00 daily----------------Limited to 7 day stay
Escapee parks---------------------------------------$8.00 daily
Military RV parks-----------------------------------$11.00 to $13.00 daily
Corps of Engineers, BLM parks--------------$12.00 to $14.00 daily
County, Municipal & State Parks------------$12.00 to $16.00 daily--Some have weekly & monthly rates
Federal parks-----------------------------------------$13.00 to $18.00 daily
Privately owned parks---------------------------$12.00 to $20.00 daily--Often have weekly & monthly rates
Good Sam, Escapees Rainbow & KOA---$11.00 to $22.00 daily--Usually have weekly & monthly rates
Coast to Coast--The best RV Resort parks at $4.00 a day. You can only stay up to a week at a time at each park twice a year. Stays at any specific CTC park must be separated by a 30 day absence and the affiliated CTC resort park cannot be closer than 150 miles from your home CTC resort park.
Escapee parks----Low cost, great people and personal affiliation. Some new ones may have frugal facilities. They tend to buy bargain parks, staffing & upgrading them largely by visiting Escapee volunteers. The longer it's been Escapees owned, the better it will likely be and they are, or do become, wonderful parks and campgrounds.
Military parks-- have good sites, on base facilities, inexpensive shopping and our personal affiliation.
Corps of Engineer & BLM camps--Very large sites, blends with nature, on the water, well maintained.
Good Sam, Escapees Rainbow and KOA--Used mostly for easy access to the places we want to see and do in the area or sometimes just for "right off the main road easy access" for overnight or short term stays. Trailer Life & Woodall's Campground Guides provide daily cost only, usually they have weekly or monthly rates too. The books also provide predictability by listing park facilities (pools, sauna, laundry, bathhouse, camp store supplies, entertainment lodge, activities and propane). Also listed are, utility hook-up types, number and types of sites (how many are back-in or pull-through) as well as the sizes of the campsites, where the park is located, and how to get there. These books then rate each park on a scale of 1 to 10 in each major category. Predictable? Yes!
Privately Owned, State, County and Municipal parks--- Vary from great to very bad. Location, cost, hookups and facilities need to be considered individually. There is little written predictability in books. Talk to someone you trust or visit by toad or tow vehicle before committing to moving the RV there.
Federal Parks---When we visit one we stay in other campgrounds outside the Federal park. The sites are too small for our little 34 foot RV, there are generally no hookups and campsites are crowded with tourists. Campgrounds are generally understaffed and under maintained. We tour these beautiful parks by Tracker toad only.
