10 RV Campgrounds in the US Every Camper Should Know

Traveling is quite tricky at the moment due to the need to maintain the safety measures against the coronavirus, but there’s no doubt that after a couple of months cooped up in the house we’re all aching for some adventure. RV travel is expected to be highly popular this summer as its one of the safest, most self-contained ways to explore. However, it’s important to remember that the risk does increase when you go to a resort or a campground so it’s crucial to adhere to local guidelines when traveling and to check with the resort to see what will be available and what will be closed for safety. 


If the travel bug does win you over, these are the 10 best RV campgrounds around the US, from budget-friendly to the more luxurious spots.

 

1. Horse Thief Lake Campground, South Dakota

This family-owned rustic compound is located perfectly - Mount Rushmore is just 12 miles away, and Crazy Horse Mountain and the Mammoth site are in a short driving distance. The compound itself is full of rustic charm and scenic views -  Buffalo roam in nearby Custer State Park and herds of wild mustang run through the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary. It offers fire rings at each site, a shop for basic goods, and a small heated pool.

2. River's Edge RV Park in Fairbanks, Alaska

Rivers Edge RV Park has 190 sites, but the resort maintains a peaceful vibe with plenty of room for campers to spread out, which is a great advantage these days. Visiting this resort during the summer months and sleeping under the midnight sun is truly a one of a kind experience. There’s a network of walking and biking trails to stretch your legs, and of course the possibility of exploring Fairbanks. There’s a convenient shuttle bus to nearby attractions, including the Discovery cruise, Pioneer Park, the Trans Alaska Pipeline, and the historic downtown area, so you don’t even have to unhook the RV.

3. Yosemite Pines RV Park, California

While there’s an RV camping site available inside Yosemite National Park, these campgrounds are quite primitive, with no hook-ups. Yosemite Pines RV National Park is located 22 miles from the park and offers more comfort and amenities, such as premium pull-through and back-in sites. The resort is very family-friendly as it offers a farm for petting the alpacas, a gold panning site, and a swimming pool for kids.
