Basic & Rustic

Basic and rustic sites are the quiet end of RV camping: a level spot, sometimes a vault toilet or a water spigot, and not much else between you and the landscape. Expect little or no hookup infrastructure, arrive with full fresh tanks and empty waste tanks, and plan power around your batteries or a generator where rules allow one. 3240 parks across 43 states.
