RV camping

Mobile lodging outdoors

RV camping is outdoor recreation that involves traveling and staying in a recreational vehicle—a motorhome, camper van, or trailer equipped with sleeping quarters and often a kitchen and bathroom.

Unlike tent camping, RV camping offers amenities like climate control and running water while still providing access to nature.

Campgrounds typically offer hookups for electricity and water, though some RV campers prefer boondocking—camping off-grid without such services.

We spent two weeks RV camping through the national parks.
