Traveling by RV is one of the most fun and budget-friendly ways to see the country. You get to bring all your favorite amenities with you while avoiding expensive hotels. Meanwhile, you get the comfort of home while exploring some of the most unique places in the country. Check out these must-see destinations for RV travel.
South Padre Island, Texas
Located in the Gulf of Mexico, South Padre Island attracts RVing enthusiasts from all over the country. A number of excellent RV parks are available, including Isla Blanca Park, Andy Bowie Park, and the South Padre Island KOA. There are hundreds of spots available, though travelers should try to reserve a place for their RV in advance, especially when traveling during the spring. This is an especially popular spring break destination for college students, but during the remainder of the year the miles of family-friendly beachfront are calm, relaxing, and undeniably picturesque.
Key West, Florida
It doesn’t get much more beautiful than Key West, which is the southernmost island in the Florida Keys. This destination has some of the most breathtaking sunsets you’ll ever see along with beautiful beachfronts, a fun nightlife atmosphere, excellent fishing opportunities, and plenty of gorgeous architecture. Plus, it has an LGBT-friendly vibe that many travelers are looking for. Boyd’s Key West Campground is a top spot for those traveling by RV since it features waterfront camping spots. Because Boyd’s was built decades ago, the spaces are a little smaller, so make sure you’ll fit if you have one of the newer, larger RVs.

With over 2,000 natural sandstone arches and unique rock formations, this park presents an endless adventure for visitors.

Consider reserving a spot in advance during the busy season, which runs from March through October.
