Where can you park Pop ups?

Okay, I used to be a camping purist and only camped under the stars. Sometimes a tent, but not always. However, now that I am getting a little older I can see the benefits of having a camper. But, where do you park it? Can you only go to those crowded trailer parks?

I guess that would depend on whether or not you want to have hook ups. You could park it anywhere you are allowed to and if there is room, but if you want to be hooked up to electricity and water you'll need to be in a park that offers that.

I don't find all of those parks to be overly crowded. Some are, it's true. But some space their campsites out well enough that you can actually get a little privacy.

Ah, that is true. I hadn't thought about the utilities thing. I will have to think about that part.

I will have to do some research to see what parks are available in the area where we are going. I would like to be in a less crowded park most of the time. Though I do see where it would be fun, at times, to have neighbors. People aren't all bad.

Some car camping grounds will allow popups. You don't have to hookup to power or water if you don't want too. Dry docking is what I think it is called?

Somewhere spacious!

I used to love the popup we had at my uncles growing up, he stopped going camping when we were kids so he used to let us use it as a fort instead. I think its part of the reason I started to love camping so early. No one every bothered us as kids in there.

To answer your initial question:

Near the bathrooms! LOL My son just bought a new one so he is going on a trip to Tennessee but I can't see my dear daughter in law doing anything in the outdoors. She's a city girl so she has NO skills at all in camping.

Popup camping is great! State Parks & National Parks have great camping! RV Parks are the worst! Asphalt parking lots for Motorhomes isn't camping! I call that a Storage Unit! Look around, get online, check ut what's available in your area. You can load up the fresh water tank & go without electricity just like tent camping! Good luck!

There are a lot of nice National, State and County Parks that you can camp at with a pop up. We had one for a time and if it doesn't have a bathroom in it, it is nice to ask for a site near the bathroom. Some towns have city parks that have hookups and that are free.

Anywhere you can drive, if it's allowed, you can camp. That is if you don't mind dry docking. If you want the utilities on though, you have to go to a campground. We even have a "primitive" campground that will allow you to camp but there is no hookup for anything.

I enjoy the Federal and the State campgrounds for the convenience of the electric and water hook ups, but sometimes they can get a bit crowded. My favorite times for these campgrounds is the weekend after a holiday weekend.
