The choice between dispersed camping and RV campgrounds depends on your priorities:
• If you seek solitude, cost savings, and an off-grid adventure, dispersed camping might be your best bet.
• If you value comfort, amenities, and a sense of community, an RV campground will suit your needs.
Ultimately, many travelers find a balance between the two. For example, I might spend a week or two off the grid in a beautiful dispersed site, then head to a campground to recharge my batteries—both literally and figuratively. Having access to a shower and laundry can make the expense of an RV campground worth while. Also some state park passes and seniors discounts are available so check those out when boooking your next campground experience.
Whether you’re chasing sunsets in a remote forest or enjoying the camaraderie of fellow campers at a bustling park, the key is to embrace the journey and make the most of your camping experience.
