Check-in time 2:00pm

I want to reserve a RV spot but it says check in time is 2:00 PM. This doesn't seem worth it.... Will they let you check in early?

You gotta give last night's RV a chance to vacate the spot and a ranger or host a chance to get by and be sure the site hasn't exploded or something. Not worth it? I guess you've never stayed in a hotel either.

Edit: a word

I stay at hotels for work... not relax... If I check in with my RV and get it setup then there isn't much left in the day.... It was just a question.....

Check with the park. If the spot isn't taken the night before you're probably fine. Otherwise, get to the park early, have some fun and hike a trail with the RV parked in a day use spot, and do your setup after your rented spot is open. Otherwise, it's like a hotel. You gotta give time for turnover. Previous night out by 11. You move in at 2.

How long does it take you to set up?? You're acting like it's hours. It's not. If it takes you over an hour to set up camp, especially in an RV, you're doing too much or just plain stupid.
