How to Choose the Right Campground in Lake George for Your Big Rig RV
When looking for a campground that’s going to be a good fit for your Big Rig RV, you need to do your homework. That’s because “Big Rig Friendly” has become a marketing term that many RV parks like to use even when they don’t have the space or amenities big rig drivers need to make their stay safe and comfortable.
Here are some tips to make sure you find a campsite that works for your Big Rig RV:
Big Rig Friendly? Call to confirm: The “big rig-friendly” label on a website is no guarantee that your RV will be able to navigate through and park at a campsite. Call ahead to confirm the length of the pull-through campsites and don’t forget to ask about overhead clearance to protect your roof. True big rig-friendly places like King Phillips Campground can accommodate any size RV from fifth wheelers to motorhomes that measure 45 feet long.
How are the hookups?: When a big rig pulls into a great spot at a campground, the hookups can still let you down. For example, if you’ve got a large RV with a 50-amp electric cable, but the site only has a 30-amp hookup it limits your electricity usage. Before you book, make sure the hookups you want are available, and if there’s an upcharge for any of them. At King Phillips, all our sites have water, and most are full hookups with water, electric, sewer, and Cable TV connections.
Wi-Fi Connections: Whether you’re on a getaway vacation or getting some work done from your RV, everyone wants to stay connected to the Internet. Find out if a campground offers Wi-Fi with a strong signal and if there’s a charge to connect. Remember, you don’t want a poor connection (or no connection at all) that’s going to generate roaming charges on your phone bill. King Phillips offers guests free Wi-Fi that’s easy to access throughout the entire campground.
Check the Amenities: Big rigs are equipped with full bathrooms, but being able to use a campground’s restroom facilities and other amenities is a bonus, especially if you’re staying for more than a day or two. Check RV Park review websites to get an idea of the size of the community bathrooms, see if there’s a charge for hot showers, and find out how clean these facilities are. At King Phillip’s you’ll find clean and private free showers as well as modern facilities and amenities.
Location Matters: When booking a campsite, knowing the lay of the land is important. Are your plans to relax on-site at a rural campground or is it a destination trip to attend an event or take advantage of local attractions? Our guests at King Phillip’s Campground enjoy our campsites, but many are here to also enjoy everything the Lake George region offers vacationers. We’re located just 1.5 miles from Lake George Village and are on the trolley stop for an easy ride into town. Local events and attractions are generally within a few miles of King Phillip’s so unhooking from your RV or detaching a towed vehicle isn’t always necessary.
At King Phillip’s Campground, we welcome guests who travel with everything from tents to pop-up travel trailers, to the biggest RV rigs on the road. See what’s happening at our Lake George, NY campground this season and reserve your site today!
