• Fishing, Fishing and More Fishing at this RV Park

    If you love fishing and you love the country, Stonebridge RV Park and Resort is the perfect place to spend some time this year.

    Fishing is so relaxing.

    Who doesn’t like to kick back beside a pretty lake and throw a line for a couple hours? You can start by setting up your lawn chair, close enough to have a seat while you wait for that bite. Open your tackle box and set it by your chair, so if you need something it’s right there handy.

    Here are some of the specific items you’ll need while fishing.

    You’ll for sure want to have either live bait, dead bait, or lures. Depending on what you’re hoping to catch, that’s how you’ll decide what you bait you’ll use. When you catch the fish, you’ll most likely need a net. Pliers are also necessary in case the fish swallows the hook. Some fishermen like to have a pair of gloves handy just for such purposes. Other items that you’ll want to be sure and have in your tackle box are extra line, hooks, and weights.

    And don’t forget about some of the more “convenient” items to bring along fishing. A wide-brimmed hat to keep some shade over your face and a pair of sunglasses so the glare of the water doesn’t blind you. Also, you’ll want something refreshing to drink while you kick back and relax.

    Don’t forget to read up on the park’s guidelines before you head out to the lake and pond.

    At Stonebridge all fishing is catch-and-release, so guests of all ages can enjoy fishing for years to come. Because of this rule, you’ll find some monster fish! Be sure to have your camera handy for those quick pictures before you release your catch back into the water.

    It’s so nice to see so many different people, from small children to grandparents, having fun fishing while they visit the park. It’s just one of the great amenities the visitors and long-term guests get to enjoy.

  • How to Hook Up Your RV

    If you are going on an RV vacation for the first time, it’s essential to know that connecting to water, sewer and electric amenities is essential. Unless you’re a very experienced RVer, it’s not recommended that you go off the grid without access to these services.

    Watch this brief video to learn how to hook up your RV at the RV park.

    Before connecting your electricity, make sure your circuit breaker is in the off position.

    Always check your cords and plug to ensure they are in good condition. Know what amps your RV or trailer requires, check to see how many amps the hookup is, and use an adapter if you need to. Using a surge protector is strongly recommended. Camp Addict provides some of the best advice on what surge protectors work best.

    Store your fresh water hose and your sewer hose in separate bins.

    Hook up your clean water using a hose that is clean and free of contaminants. This will allow you to have running water in your sink and shower in your RV. Additionally, it’s recommended to always use a flow restricter, because you never know what the water pressure is going to be like. Last, using a water filter will give you piece of mind regarding water quality.

    Take precautions when connecting and disconnecting the sewer hose.

    It’s recommended that you wear a simple pair of latex gloves when connecting and disconnecting your sewer hose. Sewer rings are required in some states, so be sure you have one on hand at all times. Ensure all your connections are tight and leak free.

    If you’re renting an RV, always ask for a thorough orientation on all systems and operations as well as making all the connections. If you ever need help, just ask other RVers or park staff. The staff at Stonebridge RV Park and Resort are always ready to help guests.

    You Love Traveling, But Not the Hassle…Try RV Life!

    One of the biggest hassles of traveling is getting up early just to sit at the airport for hours. Sure, a plane can get you somewhere fast, but going through the hustle and bustle of airports and airplane travel can be exhausting. If you love traveling, but the idea of one more airport makes you feel stressed about your trip, then you may want to look into purchasing or renting an RV. You can travel anywhere your vehicle can go, which is most places in the world. As long as you can find an RV resort or somewhere else safe to park your RV, then you can have great vacations at your own pace without all the hassle.

    You Want to Save Money While Traveling…Try RV Life!

    Many people create a budget for their vacations; they figure out what they can spend at each restaurant, how much they can spend on activities, etc. What if you did not have to worry about restaurants, and you created your own fun in the great outdoors? With RV life, you can stock your onboard refrigerator and portable cooler with everything you need during your vacation. If you are taking an extended vacation, then stop at a grocery store. You will save hundreds compared to eating at restaurants throughout a vacation. Check out what Axle Addict has to say about analyzing whether you can save money living in an RV.

    You Desire More Outdoor Fun…Try RV Life!

    The idea of “fun” has changed over the past few years. Now, fun seems to be found only in expensive theme parks, fancy electronics, and social networks. If you want to bring your family back to a simpler time, then take them RV camping. They will find joy in hiking, canoeing, and roasting s’mores around a fire. Even traveling the open road in your RV can be a lot of fun as you see sites and landmarks around the country.

  • Reasons to Choose an RV Park with Amenities

    One of the great benefits of an RV is being able to travel with “all the comforts of home” such as a refrigerator, bathroom, and comfy beds. However, staying at an RV park with amenities is always a great bonus. When you stop at a long-term RV campground serving Sweeny , such as Stonebridge RV Park, you will find a “home away from home” that will make your life much more comfortable.

    Amenities Matter When You Want to Stay Connected

    Finding an RV resort with free Wi-Fi and internet access is a great resource to help you keep in touch with friends and family back home. As you travel along the roads, there are many dead zones and locations where your cellphone will receive spotty or no service. In addition, you may not want to waste your battery and data package while on the road. When you reach an RV resort or campground with amenities, you shouldn’t have the problem of dropped calls, no internet, and low batteries. You can plug in, tell your family how much fun you are having, and get back to your RV camping vacation.

    The Right Amenities Help Guests Catch Up on Daily Chores

    If you have been on the road for a week or more, chances are you have some dirty laundry. An extended-stay RV park will have laundry facilities available for their guests to wash and dry laundry. There should also be clean showers and restrooms as well as BBQ grills to cook up the food you have stocked in the refrigerator.

    Relax in Style With the Right Amenties

    Even though your RV vacation has probably been very relaxing, you can find further relaxing amenities at a great RV resort. Your family can take a dip in a swimming pool or relax any sore muscles in a hot tub. If you want to kick back and catch up on your favorite television shows, most RV Parks offer cable TV hookups. When you want to get back to nature, but you are not ready to leave the RV resort, you can usually find fishing ponds or walking trails for the family to enjoy.

    Trip Savvy shares a great story on what to expect at different types of places where you can park your RV.
