The change of weather brings a new fondness for a warm campfire and crisp fall air. The dancing campfire flames almost memorize everyone who partakes.
The Myrtle Beach area campgrounds are getting ready for the Halloween festivities and those staying through winter will be preparing for Thanksgiving and other holiday feast and festivities. We have a wonderful connection to many of these RV Parks as you can see in the About US section. We just could not let this fall season go without sharing our appreciation for our local campgrounds and of course our visitors also.
According to KOA (Kampgrounds of America) article on RVBusiness website, 53 million households are enjoying camping (reported in 2024). Now, that is a big number. What makes us want to hit the road? We meet all kinds of great potential customers every day. Many of the reasons they slate are retiring, working from home, home schooling, downsizing, enjoying life now, wanting a simpler life, creating family memories, creating venues for friends to all be together, etc. No matter what the reason we are here for you at Recreation USA. What will you do to celebrate fall and Halloween with your camper?
We think back to when we were children and camping in our snug sleeping bags in tents. We walked the land, dipped our toes in the creek, and just relaxed. As an adult, oh we miss that time in our lives! As an adult there are so many choices to enjoy camping. It is hard to choose one camper. It’s important to think about what type and camping lifestyle you would like to participate in with your family, friends, etc. An easy way to start your search can start with one expanded question. Do you want to drive to your destination in your camper, or do you want a pull behind camper or destination or park model?
Let’s first explore the drivable. Motorhomes come in different classes based on size, chassis, engine and transmission and floor plan set up. They have different capabilities such as all-wheel drive, diesel pushers, and gas engine types, etc. If you are considering a new or used motorhome and don’t know what you are looking for, we suggest you visit and check some out. The internet can provide you with enough information to get you started. But the look and feel of every single one is different. Check your state DMV information also. Some states require special drivers’ licenses to drive RVs.
Next, let’s look at towables. Towables are a broad category. There are travel trailers, pop ups, travel trailer destinations, travel trailer lodges, travel trailer toy haulers, fifth wheels, fifth wheel toy haulers, fifth wheel destinations and so on. We believe that if you start by making a list of who and what will be traveling with you and then different floorplans that you think may fit you, the list will make your decision easier. For instance, if you have just two people you may not need bunk area. Although, if you are staying for any length of time that area can be great storage. If you have a golf cart you want to take but cannot piggyback tow in your state, you will want to look at a toy hauler.
Ok, let’s talk about destinations and lodges. These types of RVs can be awesome for beach, lake, woods, campgrounds. Most often buyers move the RV to a spot and leave it. We remember these at lakes across the country. They make is so easy to enjoy camping. You pack your stuff and away you go to your home away from home. So much fun!
Regardless of what type of camper you choose, we want to be your dealer of choice. Get out there and enjoy the fall. Send pics of your favorite moments for our website. We love to share photos of those having a great camping experience. Send them to [email protected]
Happy Fall everyone!
Remember to send pics and stop to visit often.
