15 Of The Best RV Sites Across The US

Jul 2, 2021 Paul Oswell, Business Insider

According to reports from the RV Industry Association, the number of households that own an RV is up to 11.2 million in North America. Over the past decade RV ownership has increased 26% and just this past March was a record-breaking month of sales for new RVs. In fact, companies like Winnebego are reporting skyrocketing sales, especially among millennial and Gen-X customers. 

Many people are also turning to RV rental companies and it's clear that RV use is enjoying a huge period of popularity. If you own, rent, or are thinking about using an RV for your next vacation, you'll want to know the best places to camp. 

There are dozens of great places to stay across the country, from luxury parks with high-end recreational facilities, to parks that look out over remote natural wonders, from Florida beaches to New England forests. We've rounded up the best spots, and ones that should give you a good amount of choice. 

Many of these RV campgrounds are located in or near national and state parks and can be booked directly via the National Park Service website. Additionally, sites like Campspot, The Dyrt, and PitchUp make it easy to search for and book campsites across the US.  

We chose the best RV campsites in the US based on the following criteria:

  1. All RV sites either have a wide range of facilities or are located next to unmissable scenery that is worth sacrificing some comforts for. Even more remote spots will have the option of electricity hook-ups and bathrooms.
  2. We considered reviews from trusted sites like The Dyrt, and PitchUp.
  3. RV camping is fairly affordable once you have the vehicle and these campsites all under $100 per night, with some starting at just $20 per night for a basic spot. 
  4. We looked for a wide range of campgrounds across the US, but every campsite is in a beautiful location where it's easy to enjoy nature, whether it's overlooking the Pacific Ocean, close to waterfall hiking trails, or in the middle of a stunning forest.
