Best RV Destinations in the USA: 10 Places Every RVer Must Visit

American RV travel offers extraordinary variety — desert landscapes, coastal highways, mountain passes, and ancient forests all connected by an excellent network of campgrounds and roads. These ten destinations represent the highlights of a lifetime of RV travel.

1. Moab, Utah

The red rock country around Moab is among the most visually stunning landscapes in North America. Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are both accessible from Moab. The Colorado River provides world-class whitewater and scenic floating. Mountain biking on the Slickrock Trail is legendary. Camp at the BLM Gemini Bridges area for free dispersed camping with extraordinary views.

2. Olympic Peninsula, Washington

The Olympic Peninsula contains three distinct ecosystems within one national park — temperate rainforest, alpine meadows, and rugged Pacific coastline — all accessible by RV on paved roads. The Hoh Rainforest receives up to 14 feet of rain annually, producing an ancient, moss-draped forest unlike anywhere else in the continental US. The coastal strip at Ruby Beach is world-class.

3. Florida Keys

The Overseas Highway connecting Key West to the mainland is one of the most scenic drives in America — 42 bridges over turquoise water. Bahia Honda State Park has consistently been voted one of the most beautiful campgrounds in the country. Snorkelling the Florida Reef, the only living coral barrier reef in the continental US, is a bucket-list experience.

4. Glacier National Park, Montana

Going-to-the-Sun Road is the most spectacular mountain road in North America — 50 miles crossing the Continental Divide through alpine scenery of extraordinary beauty. RVs over 21 feet are restricted on portions of the road but the campgrounds throughout the park provide exceptional access. Apgar and St Mary campgrounds on opposite ends of the park are both stunning.
