RVing has always been one of America\u2019s favorite vacationing options, but the love for RVs has exploded over the past few years. According to the RV Industry Association, manufacturers delivered over 600K RVs in 2021, representing a 39% increase from 2020 and a 19% increase compared to 2017, which was the previous delivery peak.<\/p>\n

There are numerous advantages associated with RVing \u2014 you\u2019re closer to nature and you can travel with your entire family without incurring major additional costs. Also, with so many people now working remotely, the RVs provide the means to comfortably work from your \u201con the road\u201d office.<\/p>\n

Whether you are planning an RV family vacation this summer, or you are ready to hit the road for months, working and enjoying new sights every day, finding the perfect itinerary can be challenging. After all, there are so many amazing natural wonders (and amazing cities) in the US \u2014 which ones do you pick?<\/p>\n

StorageCafe<\/a> ranked the best RV destinations in the country<\/strong> based on a combination of factors such as the number of campsites, their amenities and costs, air quality, WiFi, grocery availability and prices.<\/p>\n

So, while you\u2019re preparing for your next RV getaway, put at least some of these top 10 amazing RV destinations on your bucket list:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mountain retreats take the lead, with Branson, Missouri, ranking first<\/h2>\n

Nestled in the Ozark Mountains, Branson, Missouri<\/strong>, makes an excellent vacation spot, combining green rolling hills, natural springs, and caves with the right type of tourist-oriented infrastructure. Besides the 25 campsites where you can book a spot, you\u2019ll also find concert venues, museums, theaters, and restaurants.<\/p>\n

Second in line, and not too far away from Branson, is Hot Springs, Arkansas.<\/strong> It\u2019s another mountain city, this time in the heavily forested Ouachita Mountains. As its name clearly states, there are thermal waters in the area, which you can enjoy in one of the city\u2019s many spas. Tourists can also choose between various theme parks, a zoo, plus music and film festivals.<\/p>\n

The gorgeous Smokie Mountains and the nearby Dollywood theme park are just some of the draws of the third-ranking destination \u2014 Pigeon Forge, Tennessee<\/strong>. There are 16 campsites in the area, with many of them also featuring swimming pools and excellent WiFi.<\/p>\n

Another mountain destination that makes it to the 10 best RV destinations in the country is South Fork, Colorado<\/strong>, ranking eighth. South Fork attracts visitors with numerous hiking trails, beautiful natural landmarks, excellent air quality and 13 easily accessible campsites.<\/p>\n

Although Grants Pass, Oregon<\/strong>, ranking fifth, is not a mountain destination, it definitely features many attractions for those with an adventurous streak. Located along the Rogue River, Grants Pass is one of the best whitewater rafting spots in the country. You can also tour Hellgate Canyon to enjoy the scenery and watch the wildlife or take a short drive to visit the ancient cave system of the Oregon Caves National Monument.<\/p>\n

Your ideal vacation includes access to beaches? Head to these Florida and Texas RV destinations!<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re more into waves than forests and mountains, Zephyrhills, Florida<\/strong><\/a>, ranking fourth from the top, is just an hour away from the amazing beaches around Dunedin and Honeymoon Island. You\u2019ll also have plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment options at your disposal, as Zephyrhills is a suburb of Tampa. The destination offers 19 campsites and most campsites have pools.<\/p>\n

However, if you prefer to be right on the coast, you could choose Fort Myers, Florida<\/strong><\/a>, ranking 10th<\/sup> from the top. It\u2019s a destination that has the best of two worlds \u2013 urban fun and beach fun. Fort Myers has gorgeous beaches, such as Crescent Beach or Lani Kai, but you can also indulge in fine dining and cultural experiences. The 15 campsites in the area provide high internet speed and pools, among other amenities.<\/p>\n

Fort Myers, Florida<\/p><\/div>\n

The Gulf Coast\u2019s Northwest Florida panhandle is also an excellent destination. There are numerous RV campgrounds including Topsail State park and Grayton Beach state park both located along scenic Highway 30A<\/a>. A bonus that both of these parks offer is that they are located on the beach and near rare coastal dune lakes.<\/p>\n

Rockport, Texas<\/a>,<\/strong> lands in the sixth spot. Located on the Gulf of Mexico\u2019s coast, not too far away from Corpus Christie, Rockport is an excellent destination for boating and water sports aficionados. The city hosts the Texas Maritime Museum and its shipbuilding (and pirate) exhibits. The area is also a veritable birdwatching paradise. There are 30 campsites in the area, so visitors have their choice of camping spots. Houston<\/strong>, Texas<\/strong><\/a>, ranking ninth, is the only large city that also qualifies as an excellent RVing getaway. With 15 camping spots in the area, Houston provides affordable deals and excellent amenities for travelers, including high-speed internet.<\/p>\n

Another coastal destination that makes it to the top 10 of the best RV getaways is Gulf Shores, Alabama<\/strong><\/a>, ranking seventh. From dolphin watching and ocean fishing to snorkeling, kayaking or bird watching, there\u2019s plenty to do here. Many of the 12 campsites in the area offer WiFi and cable TV.<\/p>\n

Interest in RV storage is highest among Las Vegas, Colorado Springs, and Phoenix residents<\/h2>\n

Your RV can take you to all these amazing spots \u2014 but what do you do with it when you\u2019re not hitting the roads? Owners need to park their RVs in safe spaces while not in use. As most cities don\u2019t allow long-term street parking for RVs or blocking driveways for months on end, a storage facility is usually the best option.<\/p>\n

An analysis of Google searches reveals that residents of Las Vegas are the most interested in RV storage, scouring the internet for information related to this topic. The people living in Colorado Springs and Phoenix follow pretty closely.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for the local RV owners, there are plenty of options for RV storage in all these cities, and in many others across the country. A significant portion of the self storage facilities offer large, 10\u2019x30\u2019 units suitable for storing RVs. These units can be completely enclosed or they can be covered parking spaces. Prices vary depending on location \u2014 for example, a 10\u2019x30\u2019 storage unit in Las Vegas<\/a> rents for around $300, almost the same rate as a unit in Phoenix<\/a>. A similarly sized storage unit in Colorado Springs<\/a>, on the other hand, is less expensive and goes for around $240 per month.<\/p>\n

And, if you want to try the lifestyle but don\u2019t own an RV yet, check out RVBlogger. They have RV rentals by city and state<\/a>, so you\u2019ll be able to get one easily, regardless of where you live<\/p>\n

The recent uptick in RV sales means that we might soon experience even more interest, nationwide, in RV-related services, from campsites to storage \u2014 and more people will travel to popular RV-suitable vacation spots.
