Long-term RV living can be rewarding, but it also requires extra effort to keep your site tidy and comfortable. At Broad River Campground & RV Park, many of our guests stay for weeks or even months at a time. A well-organized space makes daily life easier, helps you comply with park rules, and keeps your RV in great shape.

Here are some practical tips for maintaining a clean, clutter-free RV site during long stays.

1. Stick to the Essentials Outside Your RV

Broad River Campground allows only a few items outside your RV: patio furniture, a grill, umbrella, or awning. This keeps the park neat and safe for everyone. Avoid tarps or excess storage around your site. If you need extra space, consider renting one of the park’s approved portable sheds instead of piling items under your rig.

2. Keep Your Hookups Secure and Sanitary

Proper care of your water and sewer connections is important for both safety and cleanliness:

Water hookup: On arrival, disinfect your hose and the park spigot with a chlorine spray. This helps protect our wells and your water supply.
Sewer connection: Make sure your hose is securely attached to the park hookup. Any leaks or spills must be cleaned immediately. Using a sewer hose support can keep things tidy and flowing properly.

Following these steps prevents odor, mess, and potential fees for cleanup.

3. Minimize Clutter Inside and Outside

The longer you stay, the more belongings tend to accumulate. Try these storage hacks:

Use stackable bins inside cabinets and closets.
Add hanging shoe organizers or over-the-door storage for small items.
Store seasonal gear under the bed or in approved portable sheds.
Keep your outdoor space clear by limiting décor and bulky items.

Less clutter means less stress and more room to enjoy your site.

4. Stay on Top of Trash and Recycling

Broad River Campground provides dumpsters for waste disposal. Keep your trash sealed in bags, pick up around your site daily, and never leave food or scraps outside. This keeps the campground looking great and helps prevent wildlife visits.

5. Regularly Clean and Maintain Your RV

A well-kept RV contributes to a clean park environment:

Wash your RV regularly to remove dust and pollen.
Inspect seals and windows to prevent leaks.
Wipe down outdoor furniture and mats.
Sweep your patio area often.

These habits protect your investment and keep your site fresh and inviting.

6. Respect Quiet and Shared Spaces

An organized site is more than physical tidiness, it’s also about being a good neighbor. Observe quiet hours, avoid blocking roads with vehicles, and keep common areas like the laundry room and dog park clean after use.

A clean and organized site makes long-term RV living more enjoyable. By following simple routines and respecting park rules, you’ll have a comfortable space to call home while enjoying everything Broad River Campground & RV Park has to offer.
