So many American families dream of hitting the road for a family vacation. One of the best ways to optimize your vacation budget and time is to travel via RV. An RV gives families the flexibility to go where they want, when they want, with little regard to budget and without a need for strict planning. Some of the most beautiful places in North America can be reached by RV travelers and the destinations are well worth the drive!
10. Madison Arm Resort, Montana
Located in West Yellowstone, Montana, Madison Arm Resort is a mere 8 miles outside of Yellowstone National Park, making it easily accessible for visitors who don’t wish to camp or stay within the park’s sometimes crowded borders. Be sure to stroll by Lake Hegben for fishing, swimming, and site seeing in between trips to the national park itself!
9. Squaw Flat Campground, Utah
Tucked in the Needles section of Canyonlands National Park in Moab, Utah you’ll find the incredible Squaw Flat Campground. The park is known for its beautiful stone pillars, rock formations, and Indian rock paintings. RV travelers will enjoy the scenic landscape as they drive along US 191 on their way into the park, while hikers will find the three-mile hike to Chesler Park an incredible experience.
8. Boyd’s Key West Campground, Florida
A trip to Florida does not automatically translate to a stuffy hotel stay. Key West gives visitors access to dozens of major attractions while Boyd’s Key West Campground provides saltwater fishing, a boat dock, and a fun Tiki Hut experience for every RVer staying in one of its waterfront campsites. Don’t forget to visit Duval Street for the sunset celebration in Mallory Square each evening!

5. Rivers Edge RV Park, Alaska
Traveling to Alaska via a well-stocked RV might prove to be one of the most cost-effective ways to visit the lonely state. Rivers Edge RV Park is located in Fairbanks, Alaska and is full of historic sites such as gold mining towns and Indian Villages. It’s the perfect stop for visitors who find themselves on their way to the famous Alaska Highway!
4. Orchard (Huerta Saucedo) Vacation Village, Mexico
You don’t need to stay in an all-inclusive resort to experience the beauty and culture in Mexico. Mulege, Mexico is the home of the Orchard Vacation Village (also known as Huerta Saucedo). If you’re looking for something different you might try your hand at clamming, while those interested in history will enjoy cave tours or trips into Mulege to see the old penitentiary. If all else fails, you won’t regret time spent in the sun on the white sandy beaches!

1. Rocky Knob Campground, Virginia
Along the Blue Ridge Parkway, near mile marker 167, you’ll find Rocky Knob Campground.

RVs make long road trips more comfortable and attainable than every before. Any of these amazing destinations will leave your family screaming for more!
That is a cool list you have. What do you think about Lakewood campground?
Thanks for sharing all these beautiful campgrounds. My wife and I had been on Tunnel Mountain Campground last year and its really been one of the best RV Campgrounds we are fortunate to visit.
Warm regards,

Fantastic List, I would have included a park from BC Canada, maybe from Vancouver or Whistler RV Park
Thanks

Hi there, Will you be publishing a follow up write-up? My husband and me have used some time looking over your site and surprisingly enough you highlighted one thing i was talking about only the other day with our neighbour. We quite often notice ourselves quarrelling about the smallest of things, isn’t it foolish?
