Simple & Affordable

Hear from some people who love using it.

My husband and I are full time RVers in a 45ft 5th wheel toy hauler. I use RV Trip Wizard to plan our route. It has made my trip planning so much easier since I can filter out campgrounds that cannot accommodate our trailer. The ability to check reviews and to go to the campgrounds' websites from the app is also extremely useful. I recommend RV Trip Wizard to other RVers all the time.

If you are worried about low bridges on your trip or where the best, low cost parks are, worry no more because this App is absolutely the best RV trip planer out there. We've tried them all and this ones smokes them all. Spot on! If you have a smart phone or a tablet, RV Trip Wizard works with either, we absolutely rely on it and would not leave our home without planning our route with this tool first. Highly recommend it…

We took a 3 month trip last year and I looked for a good trip planner. I tried winging it with google earth and researching the internet at first. Then I found RV Trip Wizard. I thought I try it. Just a few hours in to planning our trip I was hooked. It has everything I need to plan our trips. Way worth the small price. And the great part it's got better since last years trip. They keep adding and making it better all the time. I've got this years about ready to go and a few small side trips already planned.

Ryan's Story

Highlining in Moab

Ryan Robinson takes you for a ride in the passenger seat of his RV, off the grid, deep among the dramatic rock formations of the Utah Desert. Robinson and friends chill by the fire, tell stories, and of course, rig a one of a kind highline over the Looking Glass Arch in Moab, UT.

RV campgrounds can be as small as a few dozen sites to booming resorts with hundreds of sites, catering to RVs of every type and size. Some RVers prefer the simple solitude of campgrounds that provide just the basics of electricity and freshwater at the site. Others prefer full-service options with electricity, water, and sewer hookups for each RV. Go RVing partners with Go Camping America to provide campground information. Go Camping America is one of the largest and most powerful campground databases available to provide RVers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts with the resources to pinpoint their exact needs and compare parks along their route.

Our Trip Planners

My name is Doug. I run the  Learn to RV  website and  Facebook group , helping people get out on the road and have a great time in their RVs. I have over 10 years of RVing experience, and 6 of those years were spent on the road full-time. I travel with my wife, two kids, and two cats, and we like to travel in comfort. Because of this, the vast majority of my travel has been in big rigs. We’ve camped in a pop-up, 2 fifth wheels (a 42′ bunkhouse and a 44′ toy hauler), and are now in a 39′ class A motorhome.

Dawn and my families met while we both were fulltime. Dawn, her husband, 6 girls, and a dog were fulltime for 5 years as well. Our families just clicked and Dawn was the first person I thought of when this RV Trip Planning thing took off.

Why Hire Us?

Wondering why you would hire us as your RV travel planning agent? Well, our many years of RVing experience part-timing and full-timing in big rigs (> 35′ travel trailers, > 40′ fifth wheels, and > 40′ motorhomes) have made us something of a trip planning experts. Not only that, we enjoy planning RV adventures, something many people find stressful and overwhelming. I find joy in snagging those sites you want so badly, and in helping you find the best places to visit and things to see as you explore this amazing country.

Benefits of Hiring an RV Travel Planning Agent

If you’re still not sure an RV travel agent is right for you, it might help to have a solid understanding of the benefits of hiring one. You might be surprised just how nice it is to hand the planning over to someone else.

Some of the biggest perks of hiring an RV travel planner include: 

• Less stress.  Leave your planning to us, and relax knowing I’ve got you covered. No more hours on the phone trying to secure reservations or late nights spent planning a route. 
• Claim your time back.  We all know how valuable time is, especially when you’re in a busy season of life. By hiring an RV trip planner, you take back the time you would have spent planning, so you can spend on the things that are most important to you. 
• More fun.  As someone who has seen the country, I have firsthand experience discovering some of the most magical and exciting places. We can help you weave some of these gems into your travels, making your adventures even more amazing.

Curious to know what such an amazing service costs? Many people are surprised to learn just how affordable our RV trip planning services are.

Trip Planning Fee

We charge a $75 per week flat fee based on the duration of the trip for the planning services. There is a minimum 1-week charge and partial weeks are rounded up (e.g. 12 days = 2 weeks). This gets you a set of stops, an idea of parks that might work (but we don’t check for availability), and suggestions for things to do at each stop (for areas that we know as a group- it’s a lot, but not everywhere!). We pull it together into an RV trip plan using RV Trip Wizard or RV Parky, spreadsheet of itinerary and approximate costs, a calendar view of the stops, and a summary document of that all pulled together.

Optional Reservation Fee

Clients also have the option of having us make some or all of their camping reservations ( a credit card authorization form is required ). Those who choose this option, there is a 20% surcharge/reservation fee of the pre-tax nightly rate ( e.g. for $50/night, this would be a surcharge of $10/night ) or $5, whichever is higher ( so a $20/night stop, this would be a surcharge of $5/night ). We can make your Harvest Hosts/Boondockers Welcome stops by signing into your account and doing the work for you, these fall into the $5/night minimum fee.

Additional Charges

I despise the idea of “add-on” fees, but we’re finding that some scenarios have a significant amount of additional work for making the magic happen. These are:

• Short notice/rushed planning – for trips that are planned within 30 days from sign-up cause quite a bit of juggling. The Trip Planning fee changes to $125/week. Note, we may not be able to accommodate trips that begin with less than 14 days notice.
• Big national parks in the summer – for trips that include the major national parks (primarily out west), finding reservations has been proving to be very difficult. The Reservation Fee changes to 25%.
• Florida winter snowbird/spring break – for trips to Florida in January, February, and March, finding availability is quite challenging. The Reservation Fee changes to 30%.

Here are the best RV campsites in the US, sorted by region and then by price from low to high.

Kentuck Campground, Ohiopyle State Park

Book this RV site

Located on the southern edges of the Laurel Ridge, Ohiopyle State Park boasts 20,000 acres of rugged natural beauty and serves as the gateway to the wonderful scenery of the Laurel Highlands. At the heart of the park, the fast-flowing waters of the Youghiogheny River Gorge make for a dramatic centerpiece, as well as providing some of the best whitewater rafting in the eastern United States.

Amid this, the Kentuck Campground has around 200 campsites, and while more basic than some on this list, the surrounding natural wonders more than compensate. There are toilets and warm showers, as well as fire rings and electric hook-ups. Outdoor activities are available year-round, with hunting, hiking, fishing, and biking the most popular, but even just admiring the waterfalls and forest landscape is rewarding enough.

Normandy Farms

This idyllic site has been operational since 1971, its plum New England location between Boston and Cape Cod proving to be popular enough to sustain its longevity. It enjoys a tranquil, pastoral setting deep in gorgeous woodlands, and if you can book a spot early in the fall, then you'll enjoy some of the most spectacular colors as the leaves form a vibrant canopy above you.

In terms of the site's amenities, it's an exhaustive list, with swimming pools, disc golf courses, tennis courts, and a fitness center, as well as Wi-Fi, snack bars, laundry, and even a creative arts room if the weather is inclement. Four-legged friends will also love the on-site dog park. 

Crystal Springs Wilderness Lodges and RV Resort

This much-lauded campsite is so popular that potential guests must request a booking. But even this hasn't dampened folks' enthusiasm for places.

The site was designed by Richard Cottrell, who may not be famous, but he is considered one of the most skilled hospitality facility designers in North America. Set in glorious New Jersey woodlands, the site stretches out over 48 acres and includes nature trails, fishing holes, and incredibly beautiful scenery all around. A bonus feature of Crystal Springs is also that it is just two miles from the Six Flags amusement park, and so it makes for an ideal base.

Housekeeping services are offered to RV guests, and amenities include a swimming pool, Wi-Fi, barbecue area, and a picnic area. 

Wallowa Lake State Park

There's an almost Alpine flavor to the gorgeous scenery of the Wallowa State Park. Deep blue lakes, snow-crowned mountains, and rolling hills deliver knockout views that will have you reaching for your camera again and again.

The campsite sits on the southern tip of the ribbon lake of Wallowa, an idyllic spot, especially if you plan on kayaking or canoeing on the calm waters. Tree-lined wilderness trails lead to observation points and fishing holes, and the entire area is just majestically scenic. Hike to Hell's Canyon or buy souvenirs from the nearby artists' community.

Amenities are basic, but there are 24 RV hook-up sites and visitors can make use of showers and picnic areas, and just bask in the glory of the surroundings. 

Ohanapecosh

Ohanapecosh Campground, on the southeast side of Mount Rainier National Park, is set amid an evocative old-growth forest and is divided by a strikingly beautiful, snow-fed river. Close by are popular hikes to Silver Falls and the Grove of the Patriarchs. The main attraction within Mount Rainier National Park, however, is the mountain itself, a glacier-clad volcano with scenic hiking trails and stunning views. Waterfalls and historic buildings line the trails, and the region is famous for its diversity of wildflowers, which are at their most colorful in July and August.

The campsite has 188 spaces for RVs, and though the amenities are very basic (it really only offers drinking water and some outdoor dining spots), the park is a wonderful retreat for those who want to get off-grid for a while.

Polson Motorcoach and RV Resort

This professionally landscaped RV campsite exclusively caters to Class A motorhomes. The location is spectacular, with a real frontier exploration ambience. The beauty of the natural surroundings is impressive, and the camp is surrounded by the calm waters of Flathead Lake and the snow-capped peaks of the Mission Mountains.

Local attractions include the scenic Going-to-the-Sun at the Glacier National Park, the National Bison Range, the dramatic Kerr Dam, and the St. Ignatius Mission, largely held to be one of the world's most beautiful churches.

The resort itself offers a fenced dog run, gas fire pits, a gym, shower and laundry facilities, and plenty of options for outdoor dining and living. 

Indiana Dunes State Park Sand Creek

The unusual, breathtaking landscape of Indiana Dunes has meant that the environment has been preserved since 1925. You might not associate beachside camping with the Midwest, but the shores of Lake Michigan, especially when surrounded by millennia-old, towering sand dunes, will change your mind.

RV campers can enjoy some 25 miles of that protected shoreline, which also boasts forests, gentle hills, and clean sands. Sand Creek is probably the best bet for RV vacationers - this spot comes with full electric and water hookups, plus hot showers, a picnic shelter, and even a swimming pool.

Visitors can try the 'three-dune challenge, hiking to the top of the three tallest sand dunes, hiking or biking the wildlife-rich nature trails, or fishing and boating on the lake itself.

Hocking Hills State Park Campground

The Hocking Hills State Park Campground is set among hills that create a beautiful setting, with lakes and waterfalls and some dramatically photogenic rock formations. The immediate region also offers horseback riding, canoeing, rappelling, and world-class zip lines.

The site has 121 spots with a range of amenities, including a heated pool, fire rings, a playground for kids, a game room, and showers. There are also gem mining and gold panning activities which, as well as being fun, are an insight into the history of the region. 

Indigo Bluffs RV Park & Resort

There are a range of options at this park and resort so visitors to choose their level of luxury. The location is a lovely one on the doorstep of the Sleeping Bear Dunes, with Lake Michigan beaches, inland lakes, and several miles of hiking and biking trails all in the vicinity.

The RV Park is replete with maple trees that provide a good amount of shade. It's marketed to couples with younger families, and although it enjoys many of the facility-wide amenities such as wifi and use of the pool and general store, the campsites are a little more on the rustic side.

The RV Resort is aimed at more mature travelers, with elevated parking spots, patios, and paved roads. Rates are slightly more expensive (from $75 per night) but there's an added level of safety in terms of terrain. Boating, fishing, and visiting the inland lakes and islands are the most popular activities, though there are some great golf courses close by as well.

South Carlsbad State Beach

For RVs under 35 feet, South Carlsbad State Beach campground offers a chance to camp as close to the ocean and sprawling beach coastline as it's possible to get without getting wet. This picturesque stretch of the San Diego coast is peaceful and has picture-postcard views as far as the eye can see.

If you crack the windows at night, you can fall asleep to the sound of Pacific Ocean waves crashing against the shore, which should result in a very contented night's sleep. Wake up to the sunrise as you feel the sand between your toes. There are plenty of amenities, too, with Wi-Fi, firewood for sale, and showers, and select sites which offer full RV hookups.

Solstice Motorcoach Resort and Country Club

As good as the facilities here are, it's the location that's the real selling point. This country club-style resort is perfectly placed for two kinds of adventure — either a busy, sightseeing-filled trip to bustling Las Vegas or a more rural venture into the beautiful landscapes of Utah's national parks.

Travelers who enjoy their home comforts will take a particular shine to this spot, which boasts a fully-loaded clubhouse with games room and showers, plus free Wi-Fi as well as a three-tier pond and a selection of walking trails. You're also within a few miles of some world-class golf. 

Zion River Resort

Zion National Park is one of the county's most popular and scenic national parks, and it's little wonder that visitors arrive here in their droves to experience the raw nature and spectacular, panoramic views.

Many people head out into the wilderness on one of the many world-class hiking trails. The Zion River Resort is a great spot to have as a base if that's your plan, or even if you just want to dip your toe in and check off the park's highlights.

The RV park enjoys some much-welcomed shade from the surrounding trees as well as fire rings, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi. There's also the relative luxury of a swimming pool and spa, kids' playground, barbecue area, and a fully-equipped kitchen, so the amenities really are top-notch. 

Mill Creek Ranch Resort

This RV resort is located just an hour or so outside of Dallas, but is as far from the urban sprawl as you can imagine. The campground is set in some 200 acres of serene Texas countryside and provides an idyllic spot that combines rural tranquility with a host of modern amenities that bring home comforts to RV travelers.

The grounds cover some 200 acres, and these are yours to explore, with everything from stocked fishing ponds to heated infinity pools to aid your rest and relaxation. The site has golf carts to rent so that you can zip around the facility, and the amenities include a kids' playground, Wi-Fi, covered dog runs, grocery stores, and shower and laundry facilities.

The resort is regularly mentioned as one of the region's top campsites, and the owners take real pride in maintaining a clean and accessible environment. 

Bella Terra of Gulf Shores

There's a lot to love about this huge facility, and it's one of the few RV campgrounds in the country where you really don't have to leave the site to enjoy a full and memorable vacation. 

The RV site is in close proximity to some of the best coastline of the Gulf Shores. Perdido Key, Oyster Bay, and Orange Beach are just a few of the highly-regarded beaches in the region, and its locale midway between Mobile and Pensacola means that there's a wealth of options for day trips.

The on-site facilities are probably the most exhaustive you'll find, starting with oversized lots that can be as large as 4,500 square feet. Amenities include, but are not limited to: a fully-stocked lake for fishing, a movie theater, fitness center, putting green, and several bathhouses with shower suites. There are also daily social activities and the rave reviews and loyal customer base speak for themselves.

Aztec RV Resort

This RV resort is another in the luxury sector, similar to Bella Terram, and indeed it almost resembles an upscale Floridian retirement village in terms of its aesthetic and panoramic facilities. Set across 104 acres, it also boasts some of the largest RV lots in the business, with some weighing in at 3,000 square feet and the largest a massive 9,000 square feet.

It is located vaguely equidistant from Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, meaning that day trip options and beach visits are very easy. Again, though, if you just need to relax for a few days then there's little reason to leave the manicured grounds. There are two heated swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, putting greens and of course laundry and shower facilities.

The prices reflect the levels of relative luxury to be found here, and it really suits the more relaxed vacationer rather than outdoor pursuits fans. 

Where can I find RV campsites?

RV campsites are located all over the United States. There are some 13,000 privately-owned facilities and 1,600 state parks nationwide. Many are situated in or close to popular resorts or national parks, and so you're not far from major attractions or areas of natural beauty.

Websites such as Campspot , The Dyrt , and PitchUp make it easy to search for and book campsites across the US.

How do I book an RV campsite?

Most campsites should be booked directly via their own website or the National Park Service website. You can also find many of them on third-party websites such as TripAdvisor. Book as far ahead as you can, especially for the most popular spots and at peak season. 

How much is the average price of an RV campsite?

In general, RV campsites cost between $25 and $80 per night, varying by location, the size of the lot, and what connections are offered. Expect an average camper trailer spot with power and water to cost around $40 a night. 

What kind of facilities can I expect?  

There are different levels of amenities ('hookups') that you can expect. Full hookups are the most expensive and let you directly connect your RV to water, electricity and plumbing, whereas partial hookups offer only water and electricity. Dry hookups offer a power source, but no water or plumbing - these are the cheapest option.

What people say about our rv trip planning.

Hi we just got back from a 8 day trip this month from Vegas to Grand Canyon, to Sedona, and stops in between. We stayed at 4 different campsite during our travel and each one was planned out perfect and booked with out a hitch. Our complete intermarry that she put together was flawless. Could not have asked for a better experience. Will be using Tumbleweed Travel in the future. Thank you Brooke!!

Brooke did an EXCELLENT job with our 3.5 week trip around the American Southwest. We always had the most amazing campsite, and she responded really well to our high/low requests, sprinkling in great hotels and activities. She is super organized, responsive and has personally stayed in all the places she sends you. Highly recommend!!!

Brooke at Tumbleweed helped us plan a 10-night trip this summer to Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. We were novices to RVing and Brooke took care of planning a great trip – from perfect campsites to amazing activities to side trips along the way. All details were provided well in advance and with a great app that had our trip details and links to all activities and sites. We could not have done this trip without her help. We were a group of 11 – two RVs – and Brooke made very good age-appropriate recommendations. Some or our favorites were whitewater rafting down the Snake River, Horseback Riding in Yellowstone, rodeo in West Yellowstone. If you are looking for a great trip without the headaches and time to plan every detail I’d highly recommend Tumbleweed.

Brooke is an all-star organizational trip planner! We wanted a non-cookie cutter trip and she delivered. She arranged the MIGHTY 5 UTAH RV trip with a pickup in Vegas, drop off in Provo so we could do our loop in the 9 days that we had off from work. A lot of RV rentals won’t do one-way rentals. The trip itself was perfect. THE APP SHE UTILIZES IS AWESOME!! We always knew exactly where we were headed, how long it would take to get there, the check in info, places to eat, and fun side trips along the way if we wanted (and could access the app w/ no cell service). I am a super planner and Brooke was better than me. It’s so comforting to actually relax, not spend hours planning a trip and be able to trust someone else to do the work for you and it turn out better than I could have planned!! Brooke can you teach my husband & employees?! 🤣 I will absolutely use Tumbleweed again. I’m also frugal and she was worth every penny.

Thanks Brooke! From day one you made all the details clear, and all the recommendations were spot on for our trip. We didn't have any issues with reservations and felt that every detail of our adventure was taken care of - so that we can enjoy the family time! I especially loved the app with all our details and points of interest easily accessible, which also made connecting to google maps seamless. I would highly recommend Brooke and Tumbleweed Travel and will look forward to our next adventure with their help!

My wife and I recently did a week-long, bucket-list trip to Zion, Bryce and North Rim Grand Canyon national parks on a rental RV. Hiring Tumbleweed was the smartest thing we did to make the experience so easy and enjoyable. Brooke (the owner) handled all the planning, campsite selections and reservations. This saved us countless hours as well as the rookie mistakes we no doubt would've made on our own. We also loved the detailed itinerary, directions and recommendations packed into an easy-to-use app that works even offline (which is essential in parks without wifi or cell coverage). The overall experience was so great that we've hired Tumbleweed to arrange a second RV trip - to Arches, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef parks.

Your State's Best RV Sites For The Ultimate Adventure

Posted: April 22, 2024 | Last updated: April 22, 2024

50 of America's best RV parks

Many Americans will likely heed the call of the open road this year and enjoy the USA's backyard from the comfort of their own vehicle. With a wide range of RV parks from which to choose, we've compiled the ultimate guide to all the locations and amenities available at sites across the country. 

Click through the gallery to discover RV parks across the US that go the extra mile...

50. Spring Lake RV and Camping Resort, Halstead, Kansas

The clue's in the name with this one: this cute central Kansas resort spreads out along the edge of the water, and fishing is a top camp attraction. Away from the water, the camp offers full hook-up sites and fire rings, plus a swimming pool, walking trails, and mini golf, all spread across its 93 acres.

49. Roughrider RV Resort and Campground, Minot, North Dakota

They're a friendly bunch at the Roughrider RV Resort and Campground. Touted as the place 'Where land and sky meet the Great Plains', the family-owned park has more than 100 RV sites dotted across its grounds – many have full hook-ups, and both pull-through and back-in sites are available. Hemmed in by forestland, it's right by the Souris River and close to the city of Minot, known for its Scandinavian heritage and aviation history.

48. Victorian Acres RV Park and Campground, Nebraska City, Nebraska

This Nebraska City site is a true family affair. Renowned for its friendly owners and peaceful location, Victorian Acres RV Park and Campground is a welcoming spot set on 27 green acres. It's a stone's throw from Nebraska City, known for its Civil War Veterans Museum and there are showers, bathrooms, wifi, and full hook-up sites.

47. Malaekahana Beach Campground, Kahuku, Oahu, Hawaii

Hitting the open road in Hawaii may sound like a dream – but, in reality, RVing isn't commonplace here, and most campsites, and indeed many roads, aren't geared up for motorhomes. However, there are a few exceptions.

One of them is Malaekahana Beach Campground in northern Oahu: this idyllic beachfront retreat has several basic, non-electric spaces for vehicles. Once you're parked up, surfing, bodyboard, and SUP lessons or rentals are usually available. While they're currently closed for renovations, they plan to reopen in time for the summer 2024 season. 

46. Cave Country RV Campground, Cave City, Kentucky

As the name suggests, this manicured park is right in the heart of Kentucky's Cave Country. Nearby is the Mammoth Cave National Park, which is home to the longest cave system on the planet. 

The park itself is a beauty, with pretty, flower-filled grounds, and sites are all pull-through with full hook-up.

45. Marval Resort, Gore, Oklahoma

This laid-back resort lies in the eastern Oklahoma town of Gore, which proudly touts itself as the 'trout capital' of the state. Unsurprisingly, many campers come here to fish, but there’s also a swimming pool and several sports courts.

The grandest RV lots come with full hook-up, river views, private picnic tables, and fire rings.

44. Melville Ponds Campground, Portsmouth, Rhode Island

This quiet park is set on scenic Aquidneck Island in Portsmouth, Newport County. Hiking trails weave around the park's picturesque namesake, the Melville Ponds, and the champagne crescent of Sandy Point Beach is on the doorstep.

Newport and the glittering Breakers mansion are around 10 miles to the south too. Full hook-up lots are available onsite, plus there's cable TV and wifi for a rainy day.

43. Big Pine Campground, Custer, South Dakota

Big Pine Campground enjoys pride of place in the rugged Black Hills region of South Dakota. The spirit of the Old West lives on in this region, with its badlands and bison, and the pine-filled campground is true to its surroundings – it has a rustic camp store and no-frills lots.

You'll have everything you need, though, including full hook-up sites and friendly staff on hand to help should you need them.

42. Lake Champagne Campground, Randolph, Vermont

A peaceful park in central Vermont, Lake Champagne offers a mighty dose of New England charm. There's clean, crisp air and green as far as the eye can see, plus all the usual amenities (from full hook-up sites to laundry and bathroom facilities).

The three-acre lake, with its little beach area, is at the center of it all too.

41. Mill Creek Ranch Resort, Canton, Texas

An hour outside of Dallas, this upmarket resort has plenty of creature comforts. All sites offer full hook-up, but premium sites have an extra wow factor when it comes to location: they sprawl out along the lake or hide away in sun-dappled glades.

First-rate attractions include two swimming pools, and a sizable children's playground, and trails zig-zag through the resort's 200 leafy acres.

40. American Heritage RV Park, Williamsburg, Virginia

Tranquil, leafy surrounds laced with nature trails and an inviting swimming pool draw visitors to this park in eastern Virginia. There's also full hook-up, wifi, and cable TV.

As its name suggests, it's a jumping off point for some of America's historical attractions, including Williamsburg with its living history museum and Historic Jamestowne.

39. Hilton Head Island Motorcoach Resort, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Its name a giveaway, this site can be found on sun-drenched Hilton Head Island, a pretty isle and resort town in southern South Carolina. The woodland bolthole has more than 400 full hook-up RV lots, plus extras such as a pool and dog park, and a location close to the beach.

38. Apostle Islands Area Campground, Bayfield, Wisconsin

This easy-going camp brands itself as the 'Gateway to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.' The lakeshore, fringing Lake Superior, is all islands, coves and tree-covered clifftops, and cruises exploring the area leave from nearby Bayfield.

Onsite, there are wooded or open lots – some of which have breathtaking island views – and full hook-ups available.

37. Majestic Oaks RV Resort, Biloxi, Mississippi

This smart park in Biloxi is known for its immaculate grounds decorated with flowers and oaks, plus its swimming pool, gleaming bathhouses, and full hook-up lots. Southern hospitality is a great source of pride here – cookouts and other fun organized events are commonplace.

The Gulf Coast's sought-after beaches are close by too.

36. White River Campground, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

Taking over an idyllic spot in the northeast of Mount Rainier National Park, White River Campground rests at a dizzying 4,232 feet. Facilities at the camp are basic: there are restrooms but no showers, and RV sites are non-electric.

But the sheer awe of your surroundings will likely make up for that. The park is close to trails such as the Glacier Basin route, which spools from the campsite towards the breathtaking Inter Glacier.

35. River’s Edge RV and Cabins Resort, Evansville, Wyoming

As the name suggests this upmarket spot is located on the Platte River, just east of Casper. It's open year-round and offers excellent facilities including a kid's playground, full hook-up, TV, and wifi with space for 94 RVs in total.

RVers can get involved in outdoor activities from trout fishing to skiing and golf, plus there are cabins available too.

34. America’s Best Campground, Branson, Missouri

The name America's Best Campground is a bold statement indeed – but this site does have a lot going for it. There are several good RV parks in the area, but this family-owned option comes up trumps with a large pool, spa, and helpful staff. 

Every RV space is a full hook-up site with a smooth patio, grill, picnic tables, and free satellite TV.

33. Whittington Woods Campground, Whittington, Illinois

Swing seats and skittish deer come together to create the perfect woodland escape in southern Illinois. Pass your time on-site wandering the forest, keeping an eye out for wildlife flitting between the trees, before relaxing at an electric hook-up site.

The site is also close to Benton, known for its antique shopping and wineries including Pheasant Hollow and Walker's Bluff too. 

32. Upper Pines Campground, Yosemite National Park

The Golden State has little shortage of RV parks, and this one is nestled amid the pines and peaks of Yosemite. It's back to basics at Upper Pines – there are non-electric RV lots, toilets, drinking water, and food storage facilities only.

It's also near the start of the Mirror Lake Trail, whose two-mile path winds towards (you guessed it) gleaming Mirror Lake. 

31. Campfire Lodgings, Asheville, North Carolina

This North Carolina site sits at 2,478 feet, perched on a crest in the wooded Blue Ridge Mountains, with panoramic views in all directions. Hiking is the main attraction here: venture into the woods, spotting deer and birdlife, and pausing to drink in the vistas along the way.

The premium RV spots have uninterrupted views of the landscape, and all have full hook-up – there are also well-maintained bathroom and shower facilities, picnic tables, and campfire rings.

30. Leisure Point Resort, Millsboro, Delaware

Everything centers around the water at this resort in Millsboro, southern Delaware. Tipped as 'a fisherman’s dream and a camper’s delight,' the family-owned spot stretches out along a tributary of Rehoboth Bay with a generous marina boasting more than 300 boat slips.

Beyond the boats, there's a volleyball and basketball court and a pool.

29. Seashore Campsites and RV Resort, New Jersey

A Sun RV Resort, this comfortable Cape May site gets top marks for its many amenities. There's a sizable swimming pool and lake, spacious RV lots with full hook-up, mini golf, and sports courts too.

A packed roster of events is also on offer with everything from arts and crafts to scavenger hunts to boot.

28. Lake Rudolph Campground and RV Resort, Santa Claus, Indiana

Lake Rudolph Campground was built with kids in mind. It's right on the doorstep of the Holiday World Theme Park and Splashin' Safari Water Park and it comes with its own compact waterpark, and swimming pool and mini golf course. There's an extra fuss made over the holidays with pumpkins popping up across the park in October, and a visit from Rudolph at Christmas.

RV sites run from standard to deluxe – the latter has a concrete patio and full hook-up with up to 50-amp electricity.

27. American RV Resort, Albuquerque, New Mexico

A comfortable site within Albuquerque's city limits, the American RV Resort is right off the historic Route 66. It's got all the usual trappings: full hook-up sites, plus contemporary bathhouses, a heated pool and spa, and a brimming camp store.

The park usually gets booked up around October, during the city's annual Balloon Fiesta – the next event is planned for October 2024.

26. Lake George RV Park, Lake George, New York

Lake George's 120 acres are all about fun. Family-owned and operated by a clan of keen campers, the park is dotted with swimming pools and there's also a mini water park, Cascade Cove, right on-site. The park's own well-kept biking and hiking trails ribbon out into the wider Lake George area, and the stunning French Mountain trail is a crowd-pleaser.

Among the 400 scenic RV sites, there are back-in and pull-through options available, all with full hook-up. 

25. Wanderlust RV Park, Eureka Springs, Arkansas

This serene park is located just beyond Eureka Springs, a city known for its Victorian architecture and independent shopping. The site, which overlooks a scenic valley, draws road-trippers with its large swimming pool and the many tree-shaded picnic areas across its 46 acres. 

Full hook-ups and fire pits are available, plus bathhouses and a laundry room.

24. Red Rock RV Park, Island Park, Idaho

With a name like Red Rock, this RV park might sound like it belongs in America's southwest, but it's actually tucked away with the mountains and lakes of eastern Idaho. The park prides itself on its proximity to nature – it's 22 miles from the western entrance to Yellowstone and vast Henry's Lake is right on the doorstep. It offers full hook-ups, plus private picnic tables, and firepits too.

23. Mountaindale Cabins and RV Resort, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Nature is the real drawcard here. One for animal lovers, this rugged Colorado Springs site teems with wildlife, from deer to abundant birdlife, and even the occasional bear. The resort is open year-round, with generous RV lots offering full hook-up, and its 45 wooded acres draw hikers from fall through to summer.

There are usually fun activities like bingo and square dancing too.

22. Mazama Village Campground, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

It's not hard to see why this stunning campground might appeal. Situated just within the southern entrance of Crater Lake National Park, the forested site is seven miles from the edge of the sapphire water.

Only a handful of the RV sites have electrical hook-ups, and they're offered on a first-come-first-served basis. 

21. Wood's Tall Timber Resort, New Philadelphia, Ohio

Occupying a bucolic corner of eastern Ohio, Wood's Tall Timber Resort is at once a serene oasis and a family adventure hotspot. Its 157 acres are carpeted with thick forestland, and there are electric and sewer hook-ups, plus several water wells.

Top attractions usually include the zipline soaring through the treetops and the Putt Putt crazy golf.

20. Smoky Bear Campground and RV Park, Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Smoky Bear Campground is a family-owned spot located next to the northeastern entrance of Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The spruce fir-covered bluffs, the waterfalls, and the epic sunsets of this national park are what draw visitors to Smoky Bear.

On-site, all the shady lots are full hook-up (with 30- or 50-amp electricity) and there are fire rings so you can get cozy as the evening falls.

19. Bay Shore Campground, Rock Hall, Maryland

Life moves at a slower pace at Bay Shore Campground on Chesapeake Bay, which is situated right on the waterfront, near the scenic town of Rock Hall. Park attractions include sites with water and electric hook-up – not to mention the epic sunset views – and outdoor common areas including a kids' playground and dog park.

18. River's End Campground, Tybee Island, Georgia

A seaside spot, this park is on Tybee Island, affectionately known as Savannah's Beach. The site is filled with full hook-up sites, shaded by Spanish moss-cloaked oaks, and is even home to Tybee Island's largest swimming pool.

Beyond the park, Tybee boasts champagne beaches and a historic lighthouse, and Savannah, the Hostess City, is a 20-minute drive away. 

17. Lone Oak Campsites, East Canaan, Connecticut

There's always something going on at Lone Oak Campsite, a family spot in northwest Connecticut. The wooded site is set over some 250 acres, with more than 400 camping areas spread throughout it.

The amenities are top-notch too: there's a pool, modern playgrounds, and full hook-up sites. Themed weekends – from Thanksgiving and Halloween celebrations (pictured) to wacky festivals in honor of Disney and dinosaurs – are also a major draw.

16. Danforth Bay Camping and RV Resort, Freedom, New Hampshire

Its breathtaking spot in the New England countryside is what sets Danforth Bay Camping and RV Resort apart. It's nestled in 185 acres of woodland, with the White Mountains to the north and the Lakes Region to the south.

Drive through the canopy to find your tranquil, tree-covered, full hook-up site, then sit before your motorhome soaking in the sounds of the forest.

15. Polson Motor Coach and RV Resort, Polson, Montana

There are stunning views in all directions at this rural park on the shores of Flathead Lake, not far from Glacier National Park. Despite the campground's country location, it doesn't let up on luxury.

Its pristine expanse includes immaculate lots, a hot tub, pool and gym, and sleek shower facilities. The full hook-up sites can accommodate vehicles of more than 30 feet (Class A motorcoaches only).

14. Big Bear RV Park, Palmer, Alaska

Mountains loom over this charming RV park, which is dropped in the scenic Mat-Su Valley region of southern Alaska. Deluxe RV sites are available with full hook-up, fire rings, and picnic tables, so guests can be completely self-sufficient.

Nature is never far away here either: the park is flecked with native wildflowers and fir trees and home to plenty of birdlife too.

13. Keen Lake Camping and Cottage Resort, Waymart, Pennsylvania

Family-owned Keen Lake Camping has been running since 1954. The site has an enviable spot in the Poconos Mountains, plus a vast, rippleless lake popular for paddle-boarding, aqua-cycling, and rowing, and has a sandy beach.

There are group games organized for the kids and also artsy activities such as ceramics classes. There are full hook-up sites right by the water's edge too.

12. Grand Canyon Railway RV Park, Arizona

This site is set in Williams, a little city touted as the 'Gateway to the Grand Canyon.' A historic railroad even travels from the RV park to the canyon, chugging through desert and prairie, before it reaches the mighty red rocks.

Back at the park, there are full hook-ups and wifi.

11. Briar Point Campground at Stonewall Resort, Roanoke, West Virginia

Stonewall Resort's campground occupies a pretty spot along Stonewall Jackson Lake, with lots looking out onto the water and full hook-ups and wifi. The wider resort, meanwhile, has a golf course, and a state-of-the-art spa, and outdoor and indoor pools.

Kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddleboards are available to rent too and there are mooring posts if you're lucky enough to have your own boat.

10. Sleepy Hollow RV Park and Campground, Oxford, Iowa

This family-orientated park in Oxford centers around a large fishing lake, and there's a pool, beach area, and volleyball and basketball courts to boot. For a true dose of the countryside, hayrack rides are usually available too. 

Other on-site amenities include wifi, a camp store, and full hook-up sites, and the seven villages that make up the Amana Colonies are also nearby. 

9. Beaver Dam Campground, Berwick, Maine

This is quintessential New England camping. At Beaver Dam Campground, lots come tucked away in the woodland (the leaves begin to turn in late September) or perched on the banks overlooking the site's large pond. Spend the afternoon out on the water in a canoe or paddleboat, then enjoy an alfresco dinner at a private picnic table on your site. Pull-through spots are available and all offer full hook-up.

8. Bella Terra RV Resort, Foley, Alabama

This upscale resort on the Gulf Coast isn't short on luxury. The park, in the pretty city of Foley, boasts spacious lots for Class A motorhomes and lavish amenities including a swimming pool, hot tub, cinema, and swish clubhouse.

The Gulf Coast's white-sand beaches are minutes away too. 

7. Pines of Kabetogama Resort, Kabetogama, Minnesota

A vast, 54-acre site, the Pines of Kabetogama Resort is on the doorstep of Voyageurs National Park in the northern reaches of Minnesota. Most of the full hook-up RV sites have breathtaking views of Lake Kabetogama – the most lavish of these include dock space for a boat and an electric golf cart. The RV season runs from May through to October, with the lake glittering in the summer and the leaves ablaze in the fall. 

6. Las Vegas Motorcoach Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada

This glossy palm tree-filled park couldn't be anywhere other than Vegas. You can park your RV on a state-of-the-art lot with full hook-up and then take a dip in the refreshing swimming pool.

The site is hailed for its luxurious spa and fitness center and its sprawling clubhouse, and the famed Sin City Strip is close by too. 

5. Normandy Farms Campground, Foxborough, Massachusetts

Normandy Farms has been operating since the 1970s and it's no wonder it has such staying power. It's a serene, wooded park with a pretty fishing pond, and nature trails crisscrossing its 100 acres.

Facilities include four swimming pools, a bike park, and courts for tennis, basketball, and more. Each picturesque RV lot has a fire ring and a picnic table, with full hook-ups available. 

4. French Quarter RV Resort, New Orleans, Louisiana

Likening itself to a luxury hotel, this downtown park is moments from the Big Easy 's French Quarter. The clubhouse and pool are built to match the neighborhood's elegant French-style architecture, with a sun-dappled courtyard and a gazebo housing a bar.

There are all the facilities you'd expect from such an upscale site, including spacious lots with full hook-up.

3. Mackinaw Mill Creek Campground, Mackinaw City, Michigan

The sprawling Mackinaw Mill Creek Campground is no stranger to the spotlight, having won various accolades over the years. The site has been in the same family since the 1960s, and they're proud of its rugged grounds filled with wildflowers, and the stunning views of Mackinac Island. 

The park has more than 200 full hook-up sites, plus extras such as a heated pool, mini golf, and bike rentals. A ferry takes guests out to Mackinac Island.

2. Zion River Resort RV Park and Campground, Virgin, Utah

This resort acts as a sumptuous base for explorers of Utah's 'mighty five' national parks, and its drawcards are views of rust-red mountains, a lavish pool, and the large full hook-up sites. The park strives to be kind to the environment too, with LED lighting and a camp store stocking eco-friendly products. 

A shuttle service also runs from the resort to Zion National Park.

1. Boyd's Key West Campground, Key West, Florida

The summer months (June-August) are a great time to travel to Moscow to take advantage of the enjoyable mild temperatures. This is considered peak travel season. Bear in mind that hotel prices rise along with the temperatures!

If you’re planning a trip to Moscow during fall (September-November) try to plan for early fall. This way the temperatures will still be pleasant and winter won’t be threatening.

Russian winters (December-February) are not for the faint of heart as Napoleon learned to his peril. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour, and snow is guaranteed. Although winters are exceptionally cold, this is when you’ll get a true glimpse of the Moscow experience!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring  (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

With a Moscow City Pass , you can experience the best of Moscow at the CHEAPEST prices. Discounts, attractions, tickets, and even public transport are all standards in any good city pass – be sure invest now and save them $$$ when you arrive!

Moscow is a large city with many accommodation options to choose from. Staying in a location that fits with your travel plans will only enhance your Moscow itinerary. Here is a brief introduction to a few great areas of the city we recommend checking out!

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

Vodka Museum Tour with transport (excursion only)

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
