Using A Big Bend RV Park

By Chasity Sheppard


Visiting national parks in the United States is a fun experience that will really help you understand the land and its history. It is cheaper than a resort vacation and just as much fun, especially if you enjoy fresh air and the outdoors. One of the most popular of these parks is Big Bend, and though some people elect to stay in hotels when they visit, some prefer to camp in a tent or RV. There are many Big Bend RV park choices in the area, you just need to know what to look for to find the best one.

One of the most important amenities is electric hookups. Some places in the area allow you to hook your RV up to an electric generator that they provide, while some allow you to bring your own if you have one. Check in advance to see which setup is offered so you will be prepared.

In addition to electricity, water is a huge amenity that needs to be asked about before booking. Many places have water hoses or pumps that you can hook your recreational vehicle up to. However, others may not have hookups, which means you will have to fill your RV's water tank manually before checking in.

If you are taking a longer road trip, it may not be convenient to leave your pet at a kennel or with a relative. If you wish to bring a dog or other pet to the park with you, make sure that pets are allowed. Some parks won't let you bring pets in, while others welcome them, though there may be a fee and rules. You may have to keep your pet on a leash at all times, and you will probably have to pick up after them as well.

Internet is another amenity that some people just can't live without, almost as much as water or electricity. If you must have access to the web during your stay, make sure your park has Wi-Fi available. An increasing number of RV facilities are giving their patrons access to the Web, though you may incur an additional fee for access.

Many couples or families stay for a long weekend, but others extend their stay to take advantage of all that Big Bend has to offer. Your chosen park may have discounts for extended stay, including special weekly or even monthly rates. Before you plunk down your credit card to pay, be sure you have asked about all available discounts first.

One of the great things about this particular region of Texas is that the weather is fairly moderate all year round, even in winter. As a result, many RV facilities in the area are open all year, so you can go almost anytime you like. Just make sure you call in advance to ensure that the parks are indeed open, and then go ahead and plan your vacation.

Choosing to visit a national park for your solo or family vacation is a decision that you likely won't ever regret. You can stay in comfort in your home away from home if you take your recreational vehicle. You can choose from a wide variety of Big Bend RV park grounds in the area, once of which is sure to be perfect for your needs.
