What You Should Be Looking For in a Long Term RV Park

Ever thought about staying in a new area for a while? Having the freedom to move where you would like whenever you choose to do so? That’s the lifestyle of a full-time RVer.

However, there are a lot of different factors when it comes to finding the right place for you, whether you are a RV Snowbird in Texas looking for a warm place to stay or a local finding a new area to call home. So after speaking with many other long-term RVers, here are the most important factors to look for.

RV Park Location

First, you must find out if the RV park is located in a good location for your needs. Is it close to the city or in a more rural area? Is the RV park nice and quiet, or full of noisy traffic from a busy road next to it? If you are working, is it a short commute to your job?

For example, Hardy’s Landing is our RV park near College Station and Bryan. It is located close enough to anything you might want from the city, but it’s just far enough away from the city to enjoy the peaceful views and sounds of rural Texas without any disturbance.

Amenities and Accommodations

Clean and Pretty RV Park

Overall, it’s important to make sure that the RV park is clean, pretty and maintained so it stays that way. No one wants to stay in a place where the grass is overgrown and facilities are dirty. At our RV park in the Bryan – College Station area, we take pride in keeping our park in a pristine condition.

Here are some things to look out for:

Good lawn maintenance
Clean facilities
Proper trash disposal
Level RV pads
Other guests maintain their RVs

Quality Bathrooms

Good bathrooms are an extremely important amenity to any RV park. They should have high-quality showers and be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.

Laundry Facilities

Since you are staying long-term, you will very likely be interested in what laundry facilities the RV park has to offer. Like the bathrooms, the laundry room should be well-maintained and clean. Some parks may have more expensive prices for doing laundry.

At Hardy’s Landing, we offer FREE laundry to our guests, as we know it is a very important factor for long-term RV residents.

Unique Features

Unique features are a bonus for any long-term RV park. It gives each park a distinctive feel that could make it special. It’s that special feeling that will make someone fall in love with the place.

For instance, Hardy’s Landing RV Park in the Brazos Valley has a big pond in the middle of the property. Many of our spots are waterfront or have a water view. Our guests love how it adds to the beauty of the park and they often go out and sit by it. We even have it stocked with fish, so some guests even try their hand at catch-and-release fishing!

Pricing

Lastly, pricing is very important to those looking to find a long-term campground. Depending on the park, some places will only offer daily and weekly prices, making a long-term stay extremely expensive. Find RV parks that offer their own monthly rates that allow you to receive that discount for staying long-term, while still having some of the flexibility to move around if you choose.

Conclusion

There are many different factors to take into account when looking for a long-term RV park, especially in Texas. Good cleanliness and upkeep are essential, whether it be for the bathrooms, amenities, lawn, or the campground as a whole. That’s something that attracts any RVers looking for a new home. However, unique park features really add to the overall vibe and feel of the campground. It gives the park a special feel and makes you want to become a part of that RV park community.

We pride ourselves in making these experiences for all of our guests. Nothing brings us more joy than seeing smiles on everyone around the park. In our strive to be one of the best RV parks in Aggieland, we have been able to meet and understand the wants and needs of long-term RVers.
