When planning an RV trip, understanding the available hookups and amenities at various campgrounds is crucial for a comfortable and convenient experience. This document outlines common RV hookups and amenities you can expect.

RV Hookups

RV hookups provide essential services directly to your recreational vehicle.

• Electric Hookup:
  • Description: Provides electrical power to your RV, allowing you to run appliances, charge devices, and use air conditioning/heating.
  • Common Amperage: 30-amp and 50-amp are standard. Some campgrounds may offer 20-amp (120V) for smaller needs.
• Water Hookup:
  • Description: Connects your RV's freshwater system to a potable water supply at the campsite.
  • Usage: For drinking, showering, and general water needs inside the RV.
• Sewer Hookup:
  • Description: Allows you to directly connect your RV's waste tanks (black and grey water) to the campground's sewer system, eliminating the need to use a dump station frequently.
  • Types: Standard sewer connection. Some may have an angled connection for easier draining.

Common Campground Amenities

Beyond the essential hookups, many campgrounds offer a range of amenities to enhance your stay.

• Restrooms and Showers:
  • Description: Clean, communal facilities for campers.
  • Availability: Varies from basic to luxurious with private stalls.

  • Purpose: Provide entertainment and activities for all ages.
• Dump Station:
  • Description: A designated area to empty RV waste tanks if your site does not have a sewer hookup.
  • Access: Usually free for registered guests, sometimes a fee for non-guests.
