I am new to a 5th wheel. I am trying to avoid the mistake, "If I only would have asked that question".
I know this is broad, but I am making my list--So fire away-->
What I want to know, is what is important to you when choosing a campground. (You can rank by number)
Create your OWN list
Thanks
Chuck
It should also interesting to see the variation between everyone.

Yes to all of the above, plus, I'd add "accepts reservations." We've learned to stay away from parks that are first-come-first-served because out here, it doesn't matter what day you arrive....the parks are crowded all summer long and your chances of getting one of the sites with the "yes" answers dwindles to nothing.

9 Level campsite-irrelevant to me...I boondock most of the time.
9 Easy to park-I park where the road ends.
9 Clean restrooms-Already have one on board...don't need another.
1 Great View-That's why I camp in Colorado
2 Lot of Space between campers-That's why I boondock
9 Price-That's why I boondock
9 Allows Pets-that's why I boondock
2 Fishing-Always nice to have that close by
9 50 amp Full Hookups-Never been there. Have a generator and I boondock. Don't need it!
Happy Camping!

Oh hey Chuck,
You should add one more for yourself since this is in 5th wheels and you're new to them.
10. Low hanging trees! or it should read "pruned branches that were low hanging".

If you find a campground on line with pictures that looks really nice, be careful. We were down that road this summer in Dickinson, ND. The website pics made it look awesome and in reality it was a piece of a crap.
