The Difference in Campsites

Are you looking to set up a camping trip for this year and are wondering what’s the difference between a basic campsite and a full hook-up site? There are two main distinctions: site capability and how it will affect your trip.

What Is a Full Hook-Up Campsite?

Full hook-up sites elevate your camping experience with amenities not available at basic or traditional campsites. They offer:

  • Connections for clean water
  • Junctions for electrical power
  • Attachments for waste dumping

These three elements are the actual site’s capabilities and allow you to access water for cooking and cleaning, power appliances in your RV, and dump black water without the hassle of manual dumping. All of this can enhance your stay by streamlining the tasks required during set-up and tear down.

Full hook-up campsites usually come with different support systems for the electrical flow to your RV. The most common variations are: 30-amp and 50-amp. Make sure to check the requirements of your RV prior to getting to the campsite to ensure you aren’t tripping any breakers while trying to use the amenities of your RV.

Full hook-up campsites are an excellent way to enjoy a longer stay as a solo adventurer, or for a long weekend with the entire family.

What Is a Basic Campsite?

Basic campsites are traditional campsites that do not have hook-ups for an RV. They often do not have clean drinking water, electrical connections, or sites for waste dumping. Typically, the amenities offered at these sites include:

  • Picnic table
  • Parking pad or designated parking location
  • Fire ring
  • Grill grate

Due to the lack of a hook-up station, your stay at a basic campground will be a lot more physically demanding and require you to:

  • Bring in outside drinking water
  • Rely on solar or propane appliances
  • Manually dump any human waste

Basic campsites are a good option for those individuals or couples who enjoy roughing it, or who are seasoned nature enthusiasts.
