As part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, the city of Plano, which is located in both Collin and Denton Counties, has a lot to offer RVers visiting the region. When you’re ready to rent, knowing which RV types are available isn’t always simple. To make it easier, RVshare has an RV Types page that’s perfect for demystifying the RV rental process.
If you're new to RVing, you will first want to know about the two main RV types, the first of which is trailers. The advantage of these is that they can usually be towed by anything from a car to a truck. The vehicles that can be towed by cars and SUVs are teardrop campers and some pop-up camper rentals in Plano. Trailers that require a little more oomph usually consist of the larger pop-ups and travel trailers, but these can generally accommodate larger families with ease. If you need to go large, toy haulers and fifth-wheel camper rentals in Plano can make things easier. These RVs will require a large truck to pull, but you’ll usually find that they will offer some excellent amenities.
Motorhomes are the other main type of RV you should know. If you don’t have a tow vehicle or want to rent one, a motorhome is an excellent option because it’s entirely self-propelled due to having an onboard motor. This type of RV comprises Class A, B and C motorhome rentals in Plano, and amongst these models, you end up with a lot of variation. For example, a Class B motorhome is often called a campervan and provides plenty of space for a small family. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a good Class A RV rental in Plano will provide you with accommodations that will feel like a five-star hotel.
When you’re looking for a full hookup site so that you can have water and electricity, staying at one of Plano’s best RV campgrounds can really make a difference. Not only does a good park or campground provide you with those benefits, but amenities like pools, bathrooms, hot tubs and fun social events are often included. For example, at Sandy Lake MH and RV Resort, you’ll be able to swim in a pool, experience a sprawling fitness center and play several fun outdoor games during your stay.
Texas is a state with two beautiful and expansive national parks, but each is more than 600 miles away from Plano. If you’re looking for proximity, Arkansas’ Hot Springs National Park is only 288 miles away. It features wildlife and some truly relaxing thermal pools to soak in.
From time to time, you may need to store your RV rental in Plano, and when this is the case, you’ll find a few options in and around the town. For example, Plano RV and Boat Storage provides a full-coverage level of protection for RVs, and you can also store your vehicle at RV Hotel-Indoor & Outdoor Storage for a similar level of accommodation.
A good dumpstation will allow you to get rid of your gray and black water without much fuss and for very little money. Within the city limits, you’ll be able to use the Spring Creek Village RV Park for free if you’re a guest at the park or for $15 if you’re just passing through. The campground at Hickory Creek, which is located in nearby Lewisville, also offers a dumpstation.
RVing is often about getting away from the hustle and bustle of life, and when you’re in a town like Plano, you may want to check out nature-themed tourist attractions. There are quite a few to choose from, including Arbor Hills Nature Preserve and Oak Point Park and Nature Reserve.
Plano isn’t much of a sports town, but if you’re looking for entertainment, you’ll have several fun options.
