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.

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

Easy and Fun Road Trips for First Time RVers Taking an RV out for the first time is very fun and exciting, but it can also be a bit overwhelming at the the same time. The first question you will want to answer is “where will I go?” One of the most enjoyable adventures to take in an RV is the Great American Road Trip. We have listed some of the most amazing and easily navigable road trips for first time RVers. Great American Destinations 1. Southern Sites The south is rich in interesting touristy things to do. From the most amazing comfort food to rich history, to southern charm and hospitality. Travel down the roads connecting these major southern cities: Savannah, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina; and St. Augustine, Florida. 2. Gulf Coast Start in Galveston, Texas and make your way over to Florida’s Emerald Coast and down to the Florida keys. You will take in some of the most amazing waterfront scenery and great small cities along the way. 3. Famed Pacific Coast Hwy The stuff of so many movies. Everyone in their lifetime should find a way to travel down California’s famous Pacific Coast Highway. Amazing ocean views on one side, and gorgeous tall redwoods on the other, must-do stops include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and San Luis Obispo. Budget Friendly Looking to get your feet wet in the RV world with a smaller and more budget friendly trip? We have some great suggestions for you. 1. State Park There are many state parks all over the country and many of them have very affordable campgrounds. Right here in Washington State we have some of the most beautiful state parks, including Mt. Rainer. Just punch “state parks” into a web search engine for any state you are interested in, and find out all you need to know about state park activities and camping. 2. Beach Get Away Who doesn’t love the beach or even a lakeside retreat. You don’t have to go very far at all in a Seattle RV rental to find some of the the world’s most amazing beaches. May we suggest an island getaway in the San Juans? Or the sandy beaches of Ocean Shores? 3. Woodsy “Staycation” There is no place like the woods right in your own backyard.

Beach RV Camping in the Fall

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

Beach RV Camping in the Fall Think that Fall is not the time be going camping? Well, if you’re thinking a tent on the cold, wet ground, then you’re right, it’s not a good time. But camping in a comfortable, cozy RV makes Fall an excellent time to go camping. Camping doesn’t have to be a summer event. Now that kids are back in school many campgrounds are open and empty! They also have reduced rates and lots more spots to choose from. Consider Long Beach over on the Washington coast for a great weekend getaway, and enjoy some of the great storms rolling in while catching the last glimpses of our summer warmth. October is a great month to camp. The snow hasn’t hit yet, but the waves are sure crashing! During a warm day you can play on the beach or layer on the jackets and enjoy the crashing waves with a stroll along the wet sand. October around Western Washington is really a guessing game and you never know what you’re going to get, but when you travel in an RV from NW Adventure Rentals, you don’t have to worry about the weather outside. Maybe one day it’s sunny and the next it’s foggy, but that’s the beauty of an RV. Regardless of how hard you played outside, no matter the weather, you can always come in to a warm, relaxing home-away-from-home. Cook up some chicken and dumplings, put on a kettle for hot tea or cocoa, take a shower and wash all that sand off and just curl up on the couch with a good book or a great movie. Can you picture it? Fun all day, warm and cozy all night? Pull the kids out of school a couple days and hit the road! Campgrounds are cheaper right now and you can enjoy the travel and the adventure without everyone else out there, too. Finding available campgrounds can be difficult in the peak summer season but now campgrounds are vying for your business. Check Groupon for some great deals and head out on the road for an awesome Fall adventure in a comfortable motorhome or travel trailer from our Seattle fleet!

RV Rental Camping Trips in Canada

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

RV Rental Camping Trips in Canada Camping in Canada is not unlike camping in Washington, Oregon or the Pacific Northwest. Most people that rent our RVs with plans of heading into Canada only make it to Victoria, Vancouver Island and up around Whistler. Not that this is less of an adventure by any means; on the contrary, Canada campgrounds and exploring the Pacific Northwest up in Canada is one of the most amazing adventures you can take. There’s beautiful scenery, gorgeous landscaping, tall trees and nature at its finest. But if you’re planning on heading up north for a camping trip either this fall or planning for next year, there are a few things you should know about Canadian campgrounds and simply getting in and out of the country. The Canadian national parks are some of the most beautiful in the world and there are several different types of campgrounds that offer various levels of amenities and services. If you’re looking to dry camp, meaning that there are no hookups, our RVs are perfectly set up for this. You can fill the water tank, prepare the propane, and have everything ready to go even if you plan on trekking into the backcountry and setting up camp all by yourself. There’s a term that they call ‘front country camping’. This is also known as car camping and is one of the more popular types of camping. You can simply drive right into the camping spot and set up camp. There are different kinds of serviced campsites available throughout Canada including those that allow for electrical, sewer and water hookups. There’s a combination of the services at different prices throughout the campgrounds, not unlike those in Washington state. There are also un-serviced campsites that are perfect for tent camping or dry camping. The other type of campgrounds include pull-through campsites and walk-in campsites, which really only work for tent camping and group campsites. These are ideal for larger sized groups, families or organized teams. Chances are, if you’re renting one of our RVs, you’re likely to go for front country camping. Back country camping is located away from facilities and amenities and you usually have to hike to the campground and hike out. A great tip is to talk to the Canadian Park staff. There’s usually visitor centers at every single national Park campground and they can let you know what activities you can take part in during your stay. They may have unique exhibits to help you find out more about the area, nature and wildlife. Before you go, you’ll want to make sure that everyone in your party or family has either an enhanced driver’s license or a passport. An enhanced driver’s license is something that can be obtained in about 2 to 3 weeks but a passport may take up to 8 weeks. If nobody in your party has a passport yet, this might be a great time to gather the family, get the information, and order your passports. Depending on the age of the applicant, passports can last anywhere from 7 years to 10 years. Remember, if you already have your passport, make sure that it isn’t set to expire while you’re on vacation. When camping in Canada, it’s best to use your debit or credit card whenever possible. Most banks will be able to offer you the best rate of exchange and you’ll have a good record of everything that you spend money on when you return from your bank statement. It’s also a good idea to have a little bit of cash on hand because some campgrounds may not even accept credit cards or debit cards (but most do). When you’re planning your trip, there are dozens of amazing places in Canada to take advantage of, so get out there, explore and make sure you have everything needed to get in and out of the country, including one of our luxury Seattle RVs to take you there and back in!

Camping at Mt. Rainier

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

Camping at Mt. Rainier Mt. Rainier is one of Washington State’s most notable landmarks. The Mount Rainier National Park is one of the most popular camping destinations in the state. Securing a campsite at the park can be difficult during peak seasons, so knowing what is available and plenty of planning will help you to secure the site that fits your RV needs and makes your trip easier. There are several campgrounds in Mount Rainier National Park, but only two camping spots accommodate RVs. This makes planning your RV camping trip to Mt. Rainier a bit more tricky. Ohanapecosh Campground– Located in the southeast corner of the park next to the Stevens Canyon entrance. The campground is heavily wooded allowing for much privacy and the feeling that you are truly getting out into the wilderness. This is the largest camping spot in the park. Each site is spacious and there is direct access to the Ohanapecosh River and the Silver Falls Trail.The best camping spots are, of course, next to the river. Pets are allowed in the campground. If you are looking for group camp spots there are just a few. The open season for this campsite is shorter than others. *cost:$20.00 per day/night and a National Park Pass is required *only accommodates RVs up to 32 feet *half of the sites are reservable, and half are first-come-first-serve Cougar Rock Campground– Cougar Rock is located between two of the most popular spots in Mt. Rainier National Park, Longmire, and Paradise, and as such is the most popular camping destination in the park. The campground is only open for two months during the summer peak season. There are great views as the campground lies on the banks of the Nisqually River and through the trees you can see Point Success. Camp sites are close together compared to Ohanapecosh, but it also means you are just a short walk from the campground bathrooms and potable water. Cougar Rock also has five group camp sites large enough to fit about four to five families. Campers can take advantage of direct access to the Wonderland Trail, a very popular Mt. Rainier hike. Another great hike accessible from the camp is to follow the Paradise River up to Narada Falls. On the way you will pass two smaller water falls, making it a very beautiful hike. Hike just over a mile past Narada Falls and you will be at Reflection Lakes. *no RV hook ups available, and limit of 35 foot RVs *Cost: $20.00 and a National Park Pass There are also a number of campsites along the edges of the Mt. Rainier National Park that allow you to be close to the beauty and hiking of the mountain. Most sites in and around the park are tent campsites, but there are some RV spots available and it is well worth the trip if you can get a spot to camp. 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 concerts music festivals

Leave a Comment / Adventure, Campgrounds, Destinations & Itineraries, RV /

RV rental concerts music festivals Music festivals are wildly growing in popularity around the country, and they are an awesome way to enjoy a variety of performers at one venue while also experiencing adventure and meeting new people. They are perfect destinations for an RV road trip. The most convenient way to ensure you don’t miss out on anything at the festival and to be closest to the action is by camping on site. Plus you will get to experience many events and gatherings only available to campers. Here are some great tips for an RV rental to a music festival 1. Pack Thoughtfully Though you are at a festival and experiencing all of the modern amenities of great concerts, you are still camping. There are many scenarios you should be prepared for, including extreme weather, surprise weather, being out all day, walking long distances, etc. Some key items to bring are sunscreen, bug spray, a few good pairs of shoes, a raincoat, camp chair, backpack, flashlight, emergency cash, and plenty of food. 2. Rent the Right RV / Travel Trailer Very few festivals have RV hookups so be prepared to boondock. Make sure the propane tank is full and the batteries are well charged. Have the water tanks full and consider a generator if permitted to run for a short amount of time everyday. 3. Make Sure You Know What NOT to Bring Camping Each festival has its own rule on what is and isn’t allowed at the festival campsite. Before you pack and head out for fun and adventure make sure you are aware of the festival camping rules. Some restricted items may include pets, firearms, glass bottles, fireworks, barbecues, etc. Do your homework so you can enjoy the festival without getting into trouble. Some of the Best Experience Sasquatch Festival in George, WA A festival on Memorial Day Weekend held at one of the best outdoor music venues in the U.S. and right in our own backyard. If you live in Washington and haven’t been to George for a concert you need to go. The Gorge at George is built into a cliff overlooking a river running through an actual gorge, hence the name. General camping fees are minimal, but do come with a long walk and having to pay to use the showers. Upgraded camping with closer spots and free shower privileges is also available for higher fees. Be prepared to need upgraded camping for RVs longer than 40 feet. Bonnaroo in Manchester, TN One of the largest festivals in the country bringing in around 140,000 people. Bonnaroo has a great camping culture and community that brings returning festival goers every year. There are many different camping areas that are like their own little hub or city and each has its own bathrooms, lighted paths, and drinking water. Pack great walking shoes; you will need them to trek from the campground to the venues. You can save a lot of money by boondocking for $250, or you can choose to shell out about $750 for 30amp. Coachella experience in Coachella Valley, CA There is twice the opportunity to enjoy the most talked about festival. Coachella now runs for two weekends in April instead of one. It is the poshest of festival offerings with private showers, massage chairs, WiFi, phone charging lockers, and fresh produce. For the best camping experience This is a festival you want to make sure you know the rules for. One important rule to note is no instruments unless you are performing on stage at the festival. Spaces are small and most people camp in their car, so if you want to bring in an RV make sure its a small one or plan to find a spot off-site. Looking for a Seattle RV rental to begin your music festival road trip? Check out the fleet and friendly service at Northwest Adventure Rentals.
