RV Travel Tips
  • Children often get discounts at campgrounds
  • Some parks charge extra for pets ($5–10/night)
  • Consider meal planning for larger groups
  • Campgrounds may limit the number of guests per site — check occupancy rules
  • Pets may require proof of rabies vaccination — bring updated records for dogs
  • Teenagers may be counted as adults depending on the campground's policies
  • Book early during peak seasons — national parks fill fast
  • Review pet restrictions, especially for certain breeds or park areas
  • Print or screenshot your reservations if heading to remote areas
  • Share driving duty when possible — it helps with fatigue and fuel stops
