Five US Landmarks with Amazing RV Camping

Are you prepared to load up and travel by RV? There are many RV-friendly locations in the United States with lots of outdoor amenities and entertaining activities, whether you’re planning a single camping trip, a retirement road trip, a family vacation, or are deciding to live in an RV full-time.

Amazing RV Camping Landmarks in the US

The top 5 American landmarks for RV travel are listed below.

1- Moab, UT

Moab is one of the excellent (and most beautiful) places to park in an RV in the country, with its red rock structures and pure desert skies overhead. With a variety of hiking routes, as well as archaeological and natural wonders.

 

Arches National Park is a fantastic spot for a road trip as well as a terrific place for overnight RV parking (like Delicate Arch). To visit famous sites like Island in the Sky, breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding park, and the historic petroglyphs on Newspaper Rock, take a drive out to Canyonlands National Park.

2- Denver, CO

Denver is a hip yet outdoorsy city with many hidden gems for RV travelers to explore. Inspiration Point Park, a 25-acre natural oasis with picnic spaces, a floral meadow, and panoramic vistas of Clear Creek Valley, is one such location. 

Both parks and a large portion of the city are dog-friendly. So feel free to bring your pets along if you’re RVing in Denver, one of the best American cities for dogs. At Keystone Resort, skiers and snowboarders of all ages are welcome. If you’re up for a challenge, try taking a snowshoe trip through Butler Gulch.

3- Las Vegas, NV

Las Vegas is famous for its nightlife but is also an RV-friendly city. In Vegas, you may find some of the top RV parks and “casino camping” areas, including the RV Park at Circus, designed for tourists looking for the best of both worlds. 

Visit the Lake Mead National Recreation Area—first America’s and largest national recreation area and a terrific spot for boating, hiking, and sightseeing—whether you’re RVing with kids or taking a romantic road trip.

4- Asheville, NC

Asheville, North Carolina, is the best place to have an RV vacation in the nation, thanks to its warm summers, picturesque surroundings, and various incredible campsites. The city is highly RV-friendly, offering a virtually unlimited variety of outdoor activities.

Take your RV, for instance, for a day trip to Pisgah National Forest, where you can walk up some of the tallest and oldest peaks in the Eastern United States and take in beautiful mountain views. Take a short drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of America’s most picturesque routes, while you’re there and take in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

5- Key West, FL

Key West, a part of the Florida Keys archipelago, is a favorite retirement road trip destination for seniors and a terrific spot for RVing with kids. Even the Overseas Highway, which connects to the city, offers a singular experience due to the ocean’s proximity to the road. 

Due to its proximity to the water, Key West offers a wide variety of unusual coastal activities, such as relaxing on the beach in Fort Zachary Taylor Park, going on private dolphin tours, and swimming near the only live coral reef in North America.

Quick RV Lunch Ideas

When you first get an RV the last thing on your mind is food, but once you start your first trip, you will quickly realize how important having a plan around your food is. Since lunch is in the middle of your day and you are either moving from one destination to the next or if you are stopped you are out and about exploring the area, you want to keep your lunches on the road pretty simple. One thought is using your leftovers from dinner for lunch, but if that isn’t an option, we are going to go over some fun lunch ideas below. Just remember with all of the current technology you can cook just about anything on the road that you can cook at home if you are prepared.

Hot Meals

To start, you have to have the right tools in order to cook. RVs are large and don’t fit through drive-throughs, also a lot of times there are limited food options on the road, and eating out all of the time will get expensive. Two cooking tools we highly recommend for anyone with an RV are a griddle and a microwave. The griddle will allow you to make hot sandwiches with ease and very little supplies and the microwave allows you to heat everything up quickly. One of our favorite griddle meals is grilled cheese sandwiches. They go great with microwaved soup and make an easy lunch everyone will love.

Cold Meals

On days we are out exploring, cold lunches are a better option. All you need is a portable and easy-to-carry cooler to keep everything at a safe temperature and you are free to go about your day and eat when you’re ready. Some of our favorite cold meals are meat and cheese lettuce wraps, pasta salad and boiled eggs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and cold spaghetti. These meals aren’t as fancy, but they will suffice as you are out and about enjoying your day.

Large Meals

For those that want a bigger lunch without taking up a lot of time, the Instant Pot is the way to go. The Instant Pot electric pressure cooker is a wildly popular kitchen tool with full-time RVers. It’s no wonder! It doesn’t take up that much space, it’s easy to operate, and it does the job of several other kitchen gadgets. There are so many recipes out there, the meal ideas are truly endless. Some recipe ideas for your Instant pot are soups and stews, pot roasts, beef tips and rice, baked potatoes, roasted vegetables, and just about any meat dish you can think of. I like to set up the Instant Pot outside on our outdoor table. This prevents food smells and moisture from the steam from getting into our RV.
