Benefits of State Parks VS. Campgrounds?

Leave a Comment / Adventure, Camping, Destinations & Itineraries, Parks /

Benefits of State Parks VS. Campgrounds? State parks, KOA’s, private campgrounds, and national forests all have advantages and disadvantages when it comes to camping in an RV. Perhaps you’re a proponent to one versus the other, so which is really right for you, your trip and your family? We know that it all comes down to perspectives, compromises and what you are really looking for. Some state parks are amazing while others leave much to be desired. Here are some pros and cons to state parks, national forests and private campgrounds or franchise campgrounds. State Parks and National Forests: The state parks are typically cheaper than a private campground. They will usually have more spots with less amenities. Most state parks boast that there amenities is the location in which you are in. You have the great outdoors, the forests, trails, hiking and biking paths, maybe a lake or even a beach. State parks can be anywhere from $10 a night for pretty primitive accommodations up to $45 depending on where you go and the amenities they provide. Most state parks are well maintained to a certain degree. Some state parks or national forests are a lot better maintained than others and there usually will be a forest ranger on duty somewhere in the park at all times. They may even live in the state park so if there is an emergency, you have someone close by to call. Public campgrounds or state parks may even have larger and more private sites. It seems that in the Pacific Northwest, most state parks are forested areas and the sites are quite a distance away from each other. This gives you a great sense of privacy, and if you want to have a campfire or have your dinner outside on the picnic table, you’re not within eavesdropping distance to your neighbor. Some of the disadvantages to these public campgrounds is that they may attract larger groups which can be loud and stay up late, even though there are curfews and restrictions. Many public campgrounds and state parks will also lack full hookups such as water, electricity and sewer. If your tanks fill up too quickly you will need to use the public restroom which may or may not be up to your standards. A lot of state park public restrooms have running water but usually don’t have showers. The facilities may be primitive at best. Public campgrounds and state parks also fill up very quickly and it might be difficult to make reservations at your favorite campground. You’ll need to either book online or call the company that handles the reservations, but these companies rarely have individual knowledge about the specifics of the campground. Private Campgrounds Private campgrounds such as KOA’s or personal, private campgrounds that are individually managed and run can be very beneficial and almost always offer full hookups at each site. They may also have sites available for tent camping, minimal hookups, and full hookups. Many of these private campgrounds offer extensive amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, game rooms, miniature golf, basketball and tennis courts. Some of these, including many KOA’s, also offer summer evening movies, social events, community parties, ice cream socials and more. It may also be easier to book reservations at a private campground. There’s usually always someone to talk to that is personally connected with the campground. The disadvantage of private campgrounds is that because of all these extra amenities, the price will naturally be more expensive. Private campgrounds can be anywhere from $40-$100 a night depending on the time of year and the location. Sites at a this type of campground are usually smaller and closer together. They might be less private or be in a campground that is completely exposed where the sites feel like a parking lot. Private campgrounds also have some hidden fees that you may not be aware of when you first sign up. They may have a market or a general store that will sell things like ice cream, toys, and soda. This commercialization could cost you a little bit extra. Both private and public campgrounds have pros and cons. Which one will work best for you depends on what you’re looking for and how much you want to spend. Whichever you choose, rent one of our RVs today and get out there, especially during the fall and winter when prices are lower and there are more spots available at both public and private campgrounds.

Pet friendly Seattle RV rentals

Leave a Comment / Adventure, Camping, RV, RV Lifestyle & Travel /

Pet friendly Seattle RV rentals If you’re like many pet owners, your RV adventures wouldn’t feel complete without your furry companions by your side. After all, pets are cherished members of the family. But how can you ensure a seamless RV camping experience while catering to their needs? Here’s how to include your pets in your RV travels while keeping them happy and comfortable. Here are some important tips to consider when you’re taking your dog, cat or really any pet along with you camping. #1. Make sure the campground allows pets. While many campgrounds welcome dogs within specific size and weight limits, they typically require them to be leashed at all times. However, camping with cats or other pets isn’t unheard of. It’s essential to inquire about any restrictions on the types of pets allowed at the RV park or campground. Generally, dangerous, exotic, or illegal pets are prohibited to ensure the safety of all guests and wildlife. #2. Check with the veterinarian. It may seem unconventional, but ensuring your pet’s health before RV travel is crucial. Inquire about preventive medications for pests and bugs that could affect your pet while at the campground. Dogs, in particular, are prone to ticks, fleas, and heartworms, so keeping vaccine records in the RV and preparing for emergencies is essential. Additionally, having your pet microchipped provides peace of mind in case they wander off, ensuring a safe return to their rightful owner. #3. Don’t forget all the supplies you’ll need. Consider your pet’s needs at home and ensure you have suitable alternatives for your RV camping trip. Essentials like food and water bowls, bedding, leashes, harnesses, and collars should be packed. Additionally, don’t forget to bring toys or novel items to keep your pet entertained and excited during the adventure. Having these familiar comforts onboard will make your pet feel at home while enjoying the RV journey. #4. Have extra towels and blankets available. Depending on the season and destination, your pet may end up quite dirty during your RV trip. Especially if you’re hiking in the woods, muddy paws can be a hassle. Be prepared by having towels and extra blankets onboard your RV to wipe off mud or even give your pet a quick wash if needed. Keeping your RV equipped with these essentials ensures a clean and comfortable environment for both you and your furry companion throughout your adventures. #5. Consider the campground weather. If you’re accustomed to the comfort of air conditioning at home but are embarking on an RV camping trip during scorching weather without AC, it’s essential to consider your pets’ comfort. Ensure your campsite offers ample shade or have alternative methods to keep your pet cool if temperatures soar. Prioritize your pet’s well-being by planning ahead and providing a comfortable environment inside your RV to beat the heat during hot weather adventures. #6. Use a pet friendly insect repellent. Avoid using repellent meant for humans, as it can pose risks when inhaled or ingested by pets. Opt instead for a pet-friendly insect repellent to effectively ward off ticks, fleas, and other bugs while on your RV journey. Prioritize your pet’s safety by selecting products specifically designed for their needs, ensuring a worry-free camping experience. #7. Stay together as a family Don’t leave your dog in the RV alone or tied up at the campsite when you are not there. Consider this when planning your trip. Don’t go anywhere you can’t take your pet with you. Different campgrounds and parks have different pet policies. Taking a pet can be fun and of course, you can all share in the experience of staying with the family, but take these precautions into consideration for everyone to have a safe and fun time during the RV camping trip. Thankfully, our Seattle RVs make it easy to take your pet along with you on your next outing in Seattle…and do it in style and luxury, too!

How Camping is Good for Your Health

Leave a Comment / Adventure, Camping, RV, RV Lifestyle & Travel, RV Ownership Tips /

How Camping is Good for Your Health Camping is way more than just an adventure or a time to get away for a vacation; it can also do wonders for your health! Want a way to stay on top of that New Year’s health resolution? Get out there and go camping! Camping Gets You Out in the Fresh Air We can all agree that the air is cleaner and fresher in the great outdoors (the woods/mountains/country/lakeside). The benefits of fresh air don’t stop with a better smell. The larger amount of trees and plants produce a higher level of oxygen, and with this higher level of oxygen, your brain functions better and releases more serotonin! Serotonin makes you feel happy and lowers stress levels. Fresh air can also help to lower blood pressure, aid digestion, and boost the immune system. Camping Provides Social Interaction Socializing with friends, family, or anyone for that matter can delay memory problems and extend your life, according to The American Journal of Public Health. So go take that outdoor trip with your family and/or some close friends, and enjoy some life-giving conversations! There Are Countless Ways to Exercise While Camping While camping, many people take part in a number of outdoor activities that are great means of exercise. Some of the most popular camping activities include swimming, hiking, walking around the campgrounds, setting up camp, building a fire, swimming, etc. Camping Can Increase Vitamin D Intake Being outside gives you more exposure to the sun, and more time in the sun allows for more absorption of vitamin D. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient to the body that allows you to absorb calcium and phosphorus that strengthen bones and teeth. Sit By the Campfire for a Better Night’s Sleep The yellow light of the campfire helps to increase melatonin production. Melatonin is the chemical your body produces to help regulate sleep. A deeper and longer period of rest can reduce inflammation and even improve your sleep cycles when you return home! De-Stress While Camping Getting outside and away from the bustling daily activities at home can lower stress levels significantly. Constant deadlines, expectations, obligations, and stimulation can have us on high alerts and increase stress. Escaping these things for even just a short while and taking time to slow down, breathe, and enjoy your surroundings can bring you back to life. Lower Your Depression and Anxiety While Camping Research shows that green spaces can decrease depression by up to 71%. Nature has an amazing calming and soothing aspect. Rise to New Challenges While Camping Camping allows for new challenges to overcome and activities to conquer. These things are stimulating and bring a rush. Stimulating experiences that provide new challenges and conquests affect brain health positively! Looking for fun and interesting ways to want to keep healthy? Just go camping! For more tips on RV camping or information on RV rental please feel free to browse our website or contact us anytime. NW Adventure Rentals has a luxurious fleet of motorhomes and travel trailers, conveniently located in the Pacific Northwest at our Seattle location! Let us help you have a great outdoor vacation!

RV Rental – Try Before You Buy an RV

Leave a Comment / Adventure, Camping, RV, RV Lifestyle & Travel, RV Ownership Tips /

RV Rental – Try Before You Buy an RV If you are considering purchasing a motor home or travel trailer and have never been camping in one, renting an RV is a great way to test it out before you make the big purchase. Or maybe you have just always wondered what it would be like to go camping in an RV but don’t want to commit to owning one. Renting is a great way to give RV camping a try! Give your prospective RV a “test sleep”, and see what its like to live in it, versus just a test drive. If you have spent a considerable amount of time on the road, especially around popular camping holidays such as memorial and labor day, you have probably seen a rented RV running down the road. Now it’s your turn! When you rent an RV with NW Adventure Rentals, your vessel comes clean, organized, stocked, and ready to go. A friendly company representative will be willing to answer all of your questions and help guide you through the driving, towing, set up, fueling, etc. to make sure you are comfortable with the RV. You will also receive written instructions with your rental agreement/contract. Your first time RV camping can be intimidating, but once you get out there you will find it is easier than it seems. You can always call your rental company during your trip with questions, and campsites are usually full of friendly frequent campers willing to lend a hand. You will find that the camping community is pretty friendly! There are so many great places to explore when you are in an RV. People use RVs for more than just camping in a designated RV Resort. You can camp in nearly any site that is big enough for the RV you are in. Others take RVs on long road trips to make traveling smoother, especially with young ones. It is a great way to save on hotel fair at vacation destinations. Wanting to go visit a relative, but don’t want to invade their home? Rent an RV and pull up your own guest room in their driveway. Some RVs are so luxurious and comfy you may end up liking them more than a hotel! For more information on renting an RV and RV camping tips, please browse our website or contact us anytime.

What Size RV Should I Rent?

Leave a Comment / Adventure, Camping, RV, RV Living & Cooking /

What Size RV Should I Rent? Table of Contents While planning an RV trip, or any trip for that matter, there are many details to consider. If you are planning your trip and have not taken a vacation in an RV before, you may be wondering what size of RV would work for you. Here are some of the most common RV sizes and some things to consider when reserving an RV for your trip. Unlock the full potential of your RV rental with spacious options to accommodate guests and provide ample room for movement. However, remember that larger RVs come with a higher rental price tag. While compact units may advertise sleeping space for six adults or more, prioritize privacy and comfort, especially for taller individuals. Consider bed sizes carefully, ensuring they comfortably fit adults over 6 feet tall. Basic RV Rental Size Class A Motorhome: If you’re pondering what size RV should I rent for an unforgettable journey, consider the versatile options ranging from 15,000 to 30,000 pounds and 24 to 40 feet in length. These RVs come equipped with their own motor, offering a seamless blend of travel and living space. Up front, you’ll find comfortable driver and passenger seats, complemented by a well-appointed kitchen area, bathroom, private main bedroom, and designated sleeping and dining spaces seamlessly integrated with the driving area. These RVs are designed to accommodate up to 7 people, making them perfect for family adventures or group trips. With self-contained living systems including water, electricity, heating, gas, and air conditioning, you can enjoy off-grid camping experiences with ease. Additionally, hooking up to water, sewer, and electricity at various campsites adds to the convenience and flexibility of your travels. So, when asking yourself, “what size RV should I rent?” consider these spacious and feature-rich options for your next journey. Class B Motorhome: When considering what size RV should I rent for couples on the move, look no further than the class B motorhome. These compact RVs offer the perfect blend of flexibility and efficiency for your travels. Typically under 25 feet long and similar in width to a pickup truck, they’re easy to maneuver and drive, making them an ideal choice for adventurous duos. Designed with couples in mind, some class B motorhomes can even accommodate up to four individuals, providing versatility for your journey. With the convenience of finding space for your RV at nearly every RV site, you can enjoy hassle-free exploration wherever you go. Class C Motorhome: When deliberating on what size RV should I rent, consider the convenience of a mini-motorhome, also known as a Class C. These scaled-down versions of the Class A experience offer a perfect balance of comfort and functionality. While they may have fewer features and space compared to Class A models, Class C motorhomes are highly prized for their ease of operation and maneuverability. Ranging from 20 to 31 feet in length and weighing between 10 to 12 thousand pounds, these RVs are versatile options for travelers. Accommodating up to six travelers, they provide ample space for small groups or families. With the comfort and flexibility they offer, Class C motorhomes are ideal for adventurous journeys on the open road. Travel Trailer: Check out our travel trailers for rent in Seattle. They can come in a variety of sizes and are best towed with a sturdy vehicle. Depending on size, they have full amenities just like a motorhome but are not legal to ride in while in transit. These are a good option if you plan to camp for an extended period, or plan to use a car to drive around and sight see. Sport Utility RV: These trailers require a heavy-duty vehicle to pull them. They include a living space as well as garage area on back for smaller vehicles like ATVs and motorcycles. Folding Camping Trailer: Lightweight trailer with folding collapsible sides. Think of it as half tent, half trailer! They have dining, kitchen and sleeping space. You will have to find a camp space that provides a public restroom. Things to Consider when determining the size of an RV to rent Rental price The larger and nicer the RV the more you will pay…not just rental price, but in fuel and campsite fees. Larger RVs require more space to park and, as such, will cost more to park. Your RV Driving Skills Mastering the art of driving an RV takes practice and patience. Many liken it to driving a large truck or SUV, emphasizing the importance of slow, cautious maneuvers for safety. Handling a trailer requires extra care, especially when backing into tight spaces. Backing up a trailer presents its own set of challenges, as it moves in the opposite direction. With practice and attention, navigating RVs and trailers becomes smoother and more manageable on the road. Access to Supplies while Traveling Experience unparalleled convenience on the road with a motorhome, offering unparalleled ease of use. Unlike trailers, where you’re confined to a long car trip without much mobility, motorhomes provide freedom of movement. For families with young children embarking on extended journeys, RVs offer the perfect solution, allowing kids to roam freely, access the bathroom, and engage in activities like games at the table with ease. Make the most of your travel experience with the versatility and comfort of an RV. Setting Up Camp A trailer will take a few more steps to set up and get situated than a motorhome once you are at your camp site.
