1. Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp Resort
A fond memory for many who grew up in the sixties is Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo. In Kerrville, TX, the Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Resort offers an authentic experience and a chance to meet the characters. There are around 79 licensed Jellystone Park campgrounds located throughout 30 different states. These RV parks tend to boast high ratings and always offer renovating and new attractions. The campsites at Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Resort are for RVs and tents, in addition to cabins and cottages that are available for rent.
The location in Kerrville, TX, is packed with amenities, like a general store, standard pools, a water park, laundry facilities, and WiFi.
2. Cherry Hill Park
Washington, D.C, is packed with history, and the Cherry Hill Park RV resort is just a stone’s throw away from the National Mall, where you can visit the national memorials and make camping more relaxing. The RV Park has a bus you can book for a tour, so you don’t have to drive around the nation’s capital and pay for parking.
When you’re not exploring the capital, there’s much to do at the RV park. There are over 40 miles of biking and hiking trails in the immediate area, outdoor fitness areas, and an onsite fishing pond. Fun activities for kids are not in short supply, as there are pools, a splash park, and gem mining.
3. Paradise Shores
If you’re an outdoors enthusiast and live in California or are visiting, Paradise Shores is the place to be. It boasts home comforts like laundry facilities, showers, and WiFi, along with being located to most outdoor activities. These include hiking trails that take you past lakes, meadows, and forest pathways.
In addition, the town of Bodie is just a short distance away and is often considered the best-preserved ghost town in the state. The surrounding area also has several lakes for fishing and non-motorized water sports.
4. Dark Sky RV Campground
If you love the desert, consider camping at Dark Sky Campground. It gives you stunning views of red rocks, outstanding sunsets, and starry skies you can see clearly. This RV park may be in the wilderness, but it is still near the amenities you need, like restaurants and groceries. The sites are also spread much further apart than most campgrounds, making it feel like you’re alone but still in a community.
This area is known for four-wheeling and off-roading, but other options are available, like jeep rentals or rock crawling. You can also take a day trip to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon, or Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park.
