4 Hidden Gems For RV Season
Everyone, including us, loves Yellowstone, but let’s be serious: America is home to thousands upon thousands of other under-the-radar national parks that make perfect RV destinations.
Here are four low-key parks with campgrounds that don’t usually make the most popular lists but are worth visiting:
Hundreds of millions of years of the San Juan river winding 6 miles through this deep canyon gives this rather small park some grand views, not to mention proximity to Natural Bridges National Monument, Valley of the Gods, and Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.
If the wildlife (manatees, gators, and black bears) aren’t enough, Ocala National Forest has hiking trails, forest roads, and hundreds of lakes and ponds for boating and other aquatic activities that are perfect for you and your RV squad.
Located off the beaten path (and the mainland), Assateague Island is a barrier island off the coasts of Maryland and Virginia that is home to sandy beaches, salty marshes, and their main attraction: wild horses! Given all the watery driving you’ll do, we suggest suiting up your RV with some waterproof equipment.
Nicknamed the “Land of Stone and Light” for good reason, this isolated park will pique the interests of geology, animal, AND astronomy buffs, with its ancient fossil beds, stone formations, wildlife, and starry skies. This one’s ruggedly beautiful–bring your flood lights!
Given the remoteness of most of these destinations, we recommend a driver fatigue system to keep you and your other driver awake–steep ravines aren’t kind to sleepy eyes (our vibrating cushion is a great accessory for this same reason).
