Whether you’re a full-time RVer or a weekend camper, your travel involves a lot of research. Where’s the best place to park the RV? What is the best combination of scenery and amenities while keeping the campsite affordable?

Whether you’re just starting or need new destinations, here are some great spots for RVs and campers.

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone is one of the most popular national parks in the United States for RV camping and for a good reason. It’s home to some of the most spectacular scenery in the country, including Old Faithful Geyser, which erupts on average every 90 minutes.

The park has over 2,000 campsites at nine locations throughout its 3,472 square miles. The largest facility is Canyon Campground, with over 1,000 campsites and room for RVs up to 35 feet long. This location also offers over 200 sites with full hookups. Other campgrounds offer tent sites as well as RV sites.

Florida Keys

The Florida Keys are the most southern portion of the continental United States. They are a chain of islands that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. The area is known for its beaches and water sports, but it also has many great camping spots.

The best way to experience camping in the Florida Keys is by RV or camper van. You’ll find plenty of campgrounds to park your vehicle overnight and explore the area on foot or by water taxi. If you have time, plan to spend at least two weeks exploring this wonderful part of Florida.

Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve

Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve is a United States National Park in the San Luis Valley, surrounded by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The park includes Great Sand Dunes, which rise to heights of 750 feet above sea level and are spread across 30,000 acres. The park also includes Medano Creek and T-Rex Playground.

Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve was established on March 17, 1932, as Great Sand Dunes National Monument under President Herbert Hoover. On June 12, 2004, it was redesignated as a national park and preserved by President George W. Bush.

The park contains over 32 miles of hiking trails, ranging from easy to strenuous. Visitors can hike along Medano Creek or visit the T-Rex Playground, where they can walk through dinosaur tracks left behind by ancient dinosaurs millions of years ago.

Glacier National Park

This quintessential American park has lakes, mountains, and wildlife. You’ll find grizzly bears, wolves, and moose, and there are more than 1,000 miles of hiking trails.

Glacier National Park is located in northwestern Montana near the Canadian border. It’s a relatively small park with just over 1 million acres (405 square miles) of protected land — less than half the size of Yellowstone. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in beauty. The mountains are stunningly majestic and covered in snow year-round. The most popular area for camping is at Two Medicine Lake, where you can rent cabins or tent sites.
