SAYRE, Okla.<\/strong> — We have discovered a feature of RV travel that we didn’t expect to find.<\/p>\n

It’s called “Public RV” camping.<\/p>\n

We discovered it in this community that sits precisely midway between Amarillo and Oklahoma City. We camped at a city-run park that just happens to have about 60 RV campsites. Some of them are pull-through sites, which is our strongly preferred type; they have water and electricity; we get decent antenna TV reception.<\/p>\n

And we paid all of $12 for our overnight stay. Twelve whole American dollars!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

We have discovered this form of RV camping while scouring through our huge directory of campsites across the country.<\/p>\n

My wife and I have made pact that we’re going to look for this kind of campsite as we continue our trek across North America.<\/p>\n

We aren’t too big into those fancy-schmancy<\/em> RV “resorts.” People are packed too tightly into some of them we’ve seen. We prefer a more “rustic” setting to park our fifth wheel.<\/p>\n

We do use our Texas state park pass that gets into our state’s parks for free; sure, we pay for nightly use, but the pass waives our entry fee.<\/p>\n

Sayre’s park is actually quite nice. It’s clean, well-manicured, well-lit, pet-friendly.<\/p>\n

It’s also inexpensive. We fixed-income travelers appreciate that aspect of “public RV” camping most of all.<\/p>\n\n
