We’ve made it easy for you by rounding up everything you need to know about planning the perfect trip where every member of the family will get back in touch with nature, have fun and make beautiful forever memories together.
1. Choosing the Right RV Site
The first thing you need to do when planning an awesome vacation is choose where you want to stay and at Magnolia RV Resort, we’ve got plenty of options for you! We offer several types of sites to help make your trip perfect! Full Hook-Up – Our full hook up sites come with everything you need (water, sewer and electricity) for a great trip. These are perfect for families with larger RVs, or if you are just trying to get the most out of your vacation.
Pull-Through Sites: Perfect for families who aren’t interested in backing up the camper. These sites make it easy to pull in and out with big motorhomes or trailers, so they’re great for families with little ones or grandparents.
Premium Sites: If you like a little more elbow room and luxury, our premium sites have additional landscaping, are larger in size and have views that will knock your socks off. Great if you really want to get away from it all.
When considering your site, if there are some resort amenities that you think you might really be interested in being closer too, such as the pool, playground or activities areas etc. perhaps because you have little ones with you or an older relative coming along, then let us know so we can try and get something closer for you.

Food & Beverages: Visit the grocery store in the area before you leave and pack some of your family’s favorite meals/snacks. You could even plan a couple special dinners to cook outside on the grill.
