Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Campground stay without RV/Trailer
Permalink  

We will be embarking on a month long vacation mostly in the mid west next month.  I enjoy staying at small mom and pop motels,  you know the ones that are single story, clean, with rocking chairs on the porch.  But they are a rarity these days. Sure we could stay at the normal chains like Holiday Inn, Best Western, etc., but I prefer smaller accommodations with friendly folk.

So, here is my question, is staying at a campground a good option for us?  I am not sure what might be available.  I assume in some cases we may even need to supply the linens, towels, etc.  Another question, is there a source that provides information on campgrounds that provide this type of arrangement?

Most KOA campgrounds have cabins. You might start your research there.

Try "State parks cabin rentals" in your browser. Then try "National parks cabin rentals". I got lists with both of these.

A lot of private campgrounds are beginning to add cabins, Yurts, RV Rentals and luxury tents to the campground amenities.

www.rvparkreviews.com is a good source to find campgrounds in the area and then you can check the campground website to see if they offer cabins/rvs/tents...etc.

There are many RV Rental companies that will deliver and setup an RV at a campground for you to use.

We've found several states that offer Yurts, cabins or platform tents through the state parks website. Several years ago when we wanted to tour Pacific Coast starting in the Redwoods and heading north into Oregon, we made a decision to not tow our TT and just stay at state parks along the way that had these types of rentals and had a wonderful trip. It was rainy trip, more rainfall than usual for early September and we can recall being really happy that we were trying to set up a trailer in the mud/rain/wind, etc. We could also drive Hwy 101 without a trailer in tow which made for a little more relaxing drive along the coast.

Thanks for sharing the information. I will begin looking into them. Hoping we might be able to find some accommodations in a more "relaxing" environment. Honestly, the last several years I have a stressed out about where we were going to stay. Hopefully next year at this time we will have a trailer to enjoy our adventures.

As a side note, I can remember as a kid helping my parents plan vacations by using the AAA motel/hotel guide. It is really interesting to look at the current guide and how it has changed over the years. I didn't realize how special those mom and pop motels were at the time. Miss them dearly.
