Campground Types:
If
you are an experienced camper, you pretty much know what to expect of
the different types of campgrounds. If not, maybe the below
will
help. (If you think we have characterized some
wrong, please
tell us)
NF, NP, CNP:
Scenic settings with well developed facilities, few hook ups
for RVs. Some NF do not have drinking water.
BLM,
WMA, SF: Tend to be more rustic, less developed and perhaps not as
scenic, few hook ups for RVs. Some BLM do not have
drinking
water.
COE, TVA: Very nicely developed on
scenic lakes, excellent facilities, often RV oriented but tents are not
out of place.
SP, PP:
Very nicely developed, excellent facilities, a variety of activities,
often with RV hook ups but tents are well accomodated also.
CP:
Very variable, often very RV oriented, tenters may feel out of place.
SB:
State beaches (mostly in CA) are right on the ocean and tend to
accomodate RVs best, tenters may feel exposed and out of place.
OTHERS:
Don't know. |
