What Campground Amenity is Most Important to You?

Friday August 8, 2008
Camping is an art, and there is no wrong way to camp. However, we all have our wants and needs, and campgrounds try to satisfy those by supplying amenities to enhance our visit. Some amenities we could do without, while others may better serve us. I know there have been times when I was camping that different amenities offered by a campground have been life savers. My number one pick is at the top of the list even if it's as simple as the one pictured at the right.

What campground amenity is most important to you?
1.) clean restrooms
2.) electric / water hookups
3.) grocery store / ice
4.) handicap access
5.) hot showers
6.) kids playground
7.) picnic table / fire ring
8.) rec-room
9.) swimming pool
10.) Wi-Fi
