RV Camping

Compared with the busy streets of South Lake Tahoe on the west, Lake Tahoe’s east shore offers a quieter RV route along U.S. Highway 50 and Nevada State Route 28. Nevada Beach and Zephyr Cove make practical bases for spending a few unhurried days by the lake.

Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road was fully open over Logan Pass for the summer 2026 season, but strict size limits in its central section can rule out many RVs. Travelers with larger rigs can explore each side of the park separately and use a shuttle or smaller vehicle for the Logan Pass segment.

The 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway from Virginia to North Carolina is one of the East’s best-loved scenic drives, but RV travelers need to plan for low tunnels, mostly no-hookup campgrounds, and campground closures that continued during the 2026 season.

Acadia National Park has three RV-friendly campgrounds—Blackwoods, Seawall, and Schoodic Woods—with different locations and hookup options. Choosing among them can shape an RV trip to the park.

The 68.7-mile Beartooth Highway, US 212, runs from Red Lodge, Montana, to Cooke City near Yellowstone’s northeast entrance, climbing to 10,947 feet at Beartooth Pass. Its tight switchbacks, fast-changing mountain weather, and limited services call for careful RV planning.

Seven notable 2026 fifth wheels range from the $91,515 Keystone Montana High Country to the $173,550 CrossRoads Redwood. Features, floor plans, all-season equipment, and towing requirements vary substantially across the lineup.

An RV overnight stay in Redwood National and State Parks means camping without electric, water, or sewer hookups at any of its three main campgrounds. Planning ahead for batteries, water, waste capacity, and road conditions can make the experience more manageable.

More RV travelers are towing camping trailers with electric pickups, but choosing one based only on its maximum tow rating can lead to disappointment. Towing can cut driving range by more than half, while charging infrastructure remains poorly suited to vehicles pulling trailers.

U.S. Highway 1’s Overseas Highway connects Florida City near Miami to Key West across 113 miles and 43 bridges. The bucket-list RV route calls for extra care in high winds, heavy traffic, and the narrow stretches around Seven Mile Bridge.
