With over 48,000 miles of interstate highways — and millions more of roadways throughout the Union — America is undeniably a country built for road trips. Where all those roads may take you is up to you; there’s plenty to explore. But if you’re going to be traveling behind the wheel of an RV, you have more to consider than your average road tripper. 

A good starting point is a prepared list of road trip destinations that are RV-friendly. Knowing beforehand where you can rest each night can take a big burden off your shoulders. Read on to learn more about where you’ll (probably) be visiting in the near future!

Best Places to Visit on a Road Trip Through America

With so much out there to explore, it can seem impossible to narrow down the choices for the best road trip destinations. If you need proof that it can be done, look no further! We’ve listed the most awesome ones below. 

Denali National Park (Alaska)

At six million acres, Denali National Park has an abundance of wildlife and stunning natural views that’ll leave you in awe. Denali itself is the highest mountain peak in North America, at 20,310 feet above sea level, earning it a place on anyone’s bucket list. Plus, if you’re traveling in your RV, you’ll be glad to know there are many RV-friendly sites in the area. 

RV campgrounds nearby: Savage River Campground, Teklanika River Campground

If you’re ready to hit up Denali via an RV, get in touch with Cruise America in Anchorage, Alaska! 

The Grand Canyon (Arizona)

Pictures cannot do the Grand Canyon justice, which is why you need to see it for yourself, first  — and then take photos after. A testament to the power of nature (specifically, the Colorado River), the Grand Canyon will leave as grand an impression on you as it has on northern Arizona!

RV campgrounds nearby: Trailer Village RV Park, Grand Canyon Railway RV Park

To get to the Grand Canyon, rent an RV from Cruise America RV in Phoenix or Flagstaff!

Zion National Park (Utah)

Home to some of the tallest sandstone cliffs in the world, Zion National Park’s beautiful landscapes make it a must-see destination. From the cliffs to the waterfalls to the hiking and biking trails and scenic drives, you’ll never lack for activities. 

RV campgrounds nearby: Watchman Campground, Zion River Resort

California Wine Country (Napa and Sonoma regions)

You don’t need to be a wine lover to appreciate all that California wine country has to offer. The Napa and Sonoma valleys host over 800 wineries, but the beauty of the vineyards can impress the kids while Mom and Dad attend a wine tasting.

RV campgrounds nearby: Skyline Wilderness Park, Bodega Bay RV Park

Rent an RV from Cruise America in Santa Rosa to get you to all the vineyards!

Montauk, Long Island (New York)

There’s more to New York than just the City, and Montauk is about as far away from the hustle and bustle as one can be. Whether you’re into fresh seafood or gorgeous sunsets and sunrises on the beaches, Montauk has something for everyone. Try to visit in the off-season for smaller crowds and great deals!

RV campgrounds nearby: Hither Hills State Park, Eastern Long Island Kampground

Montauk is just a short drive away from Cruise America RV rental locations on Long Island!

Walt Disney World (Florida)

The Most Magical Place on Earth is almost a city unto itself, and this also means there’s ample space for an RV visit. Whether the Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios is your destination, you won’t leave Walt Disney World without making magical memories galore!

Disney World and environs can be reached with an RV rented from Cruise America in Kissimmee!
